Isaac's Wells (21 of 34) by Jerry Vines
This content is part of a series.Isaac's Wells (21 of 34)
Jerry Vines
Genesis 26:17-19
In the Bible, you will find a recurring phrase mentioned, "of the God, of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." These are three of the great men of faith as recorded for us in God's Word. They are the faithful men of God that God used to carry on the promises of God which ultimately consummated in the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.
Isaac is the middle one of that phrase. "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
I introduced Isaac for you last Sunday night and I said to you that there are two words which come to mind when we think about Isaac. The words are ordinary and overshadowed. In a real way, Isaac was overshadowed. He was the ordinary son of an extraordinary father, Abraham. He was the ordinary father of an extraordinary son, Jacob. Rather ordinary when you read his life.
By the way, I think this is an encouragement to us because it says to us that you don't have to be extraordinary to be used of God. You can be an ordinary, plain, vanilla, every day kind of person and God can use you and bless you and work through you.
When you study the life of Isaac you will discover that he was very much a son of his father. In fact, I had never noticed it until I was working on this particular chapter, how many times his father Abraham is referred to.
In verse 15 it talks about, "all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father and the Philistines had stopped them." In verse 18 it talks about, "they digged in the days of Abraham his father." At the end of the verse, "By the name which his father had called him."
Sigmund Freud said the most important day in a man's life is the day his father dies. There are many things Freud said that I do not believe are correct, but I think he is correct on this one. The influence of a father on a son is a very important matter. In fact, the influence of a father on his son and also his daughters is very important. There have ...

Christie, who ousted Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine last year, has become a rising Republican star around the country for his tough talk about cutting budgets, curbing public employee pay and holding the line on taxes.
"I want to give you a preview of what's in store for you," said Christie to the cheers of the GOP activists who clearly relished the thought of Dudley doing battle with the Democratic leadership of the Oregon Legislature.

Vanessa Hudgens is back with Zac Efron. Or is she?
So what's with these two? Are they back together? Well, yes … apparently – at least for one night.
After announcing their split in December, Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron appeared to be more than friends at Friday evening's SHG's Eden Hollywood opening, where they were "constantly touching and kissing each other," an onlooker told PEOPLE.
"Vanessa was bopping around with her arms up while Zac had his hands all over her, Vanessa had a smile on from ear to ear and the two were inseparable after that," the source said.
Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron arrived with their friend Brittany Snow around midnight and they quickly took to the dance floor.
Eventually heading towards a table, the couple proceeded to get cozy – and stay that way for the rest of the evening.
"Zac sat in between her legs and she wrapped her arms around him," the onlooker notes. "They were making out on and off for the last hour or so until closing. They acted like there was no one else in the room."

Brahim Rachiki
October 16, 2010 by Post Team
Brahim Rachiki, Boyfriend of Madonna. We are told that the Queen of Pop has traded his Jesus boy toy for a new lover boy. Yes, cougar Madonna was on the lookout and choreographer named Rachik. We have details of their night together and some
Brahim is the boyfriend of Madonna Rachik or should I say rumored boy toy? Madge and her beautiful arm candy were seen leaving on Thursday night at Meatpacking hotspot SL. So who is Brahim and how did the man with Madge and some fierce moves to hook up?
Well, what we know about Rachik is that he is a choreographer and is 19 years younger than the queen of pop, making him 33 years. Not only did he choreograph Sticky & Sweet tour Madge, but also it is also well known for his collaboration on the choreography of Michael Jackson This Is It movie.
A source "> who was present while Madge and her new man became Freak Nasty on the dance floor until they decide to move their nestled in a private place in the club. The source said:" They came together and held hands in a private space. Madonna got up and danced for an hour straight before returning to her man. They immediately started doing in front of other guests. After working the dance floor, they found a more private place where they kissed for the rest of the night. "
To see some hot photos of Brahim, visit her official website http://brahimrachiki.com/.
What do you think Brahim Rachik? Is this just another run of Madge or could this really love? Personally, it is too early to be sure. I think Madge is just fun roping in young people.

Artist Merriann Hornsby's paintings chronicling the life of George West, also known as the River Preacher, are on display through March at the Ascension Parish Library, 708 S. Irma Blvd., Gonzales.
West, a native of Ascension Parish, began preaching up and down the Mississippi River in 1941, a news release from the library said. In his later years, he returned to the area and could be found, almost daily, at the ferry landing in Baton Rouge in his long white robe and with his tall white cross, preaching, the release said.
Inspired by the preacher's dedication to his calling, Hornsby has put her memories of West on canvas.

Jenna Mast February 11, 2012 01:44AMAs I did not have an air compressor, I decided to use a steel brush attachment that came with my dremel to remove lepidolite coatings from tourmaline that I couldn't removing any other way. This works, however it also leave a thin metal deposit on the crystals. I only did a test section. I don't want to continue until I know how to remove the deposit. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Joseph Polityka February 11, 2012 02:36AMJenna,
Try using a wet Brillo Pad. I have used them with harder gem minerals to remove thin coatings.
Luca Baralis February 11, 2012 10:54AMI don't use steel brush on hard rocks for this reason.
Some ideas:
toothpaste and brush (and time...)
polish paste/pad for metals objects
an home made electrolytic device
However I've never tried any of that.
Luca Baralis
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/11/2012 10:55AM by Luca Baralis.
William C. van Laer February 11, 2012 03:59PMJenna:
Complete removal is somewhat dependant on what type of metal brush you used: steel wire would require a soaking in warm/hot hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid), while a brass brush would require a soak in waek nitric acid. Both reactions would be facilitated by adding heat, but either will give off noxious fumes, so please use caution and do this under a fume hood.

My Place
My name is Verlandieu. Welcome to My Place. Some might wonder why it is that everything on My Place--in essence or in tone--is 'spiritual' or 'religious'. The answer is really a simple one. Every one views the world through a certain lense. I am a believer in the Lord Jesus. This is the lense through which I experience and see the world. The poems, nevertheless, are not sermons but personal expressions of a human heart. Not all the experiences belong to the poet but the feelings are his own (or he identifies with them enough to make them his own).
The writer believes that fiction should in a measure be a reflection of reality. If, therefore, it has no impact on the real world then it is a poor reflection. The world is full of confused people with broken hearts and lives. This writer believes that God, through Jesus Christ, is their answer. He hopes that this truth is reflected in some of the fiction. When a person trusts Christ for salvation, God begins the life-long work of mending that broken heart and life. But it all begins with salvation, which one does not get because of service for Him, observing His Law, church attendance, repeating a specialized prayer, having a pastor or preacher praying over them, being baptized, going to church most or all of his (or her) life. This is a gift given by God upon repentance from sin and personal (one on One) faith in Christ.
Any questions, comments, concerns, send me an email.
(I don't endorse any religious materials advertised on this site, particularly, the sinner's prayer. The sinner's prayer, though some might use it with the best of intentions, is man-made, an aberration from the Scriptural gospel and spiritually dangerous. )

Each time I head over to the island I'm always surprised at how beautiful this area is. I can literally point my camera in any direction and the subject matter is stunning.
When I sailed my old Westsail I used to spend time at the Northern end of the bay. I don't know why I didn't come down to the Southern end. It definitely has its own appeal and offers more protection for boaties.
There are all types of watercraft getting around the islands from tinnies to old Moreton Bay cruisers like this one.
There are a few yachts anchored around the islands on weekends. They generally make a stop over at the bigger island grocery store for supplies. It's always easy to spot a Yachtie and you can generally tell what kind of boat they sail from their tender. There are generally two types. The modern sailors who probably sail a fin keel fibreglass boat like a Beneteau. They usually have a little zodiac inflatable with an outboard.
Or the more traditional type who row a hard dinghy.

The Aash'n African Administrative Zone (commonly shortened to AAAZ) is a series of non-contiguous territories governed by the Aash'n, roughly analogous to the Maghreb, but with several distinctions. It was established in 1968 by the United Nations Aash'n Affairs Council. Technically, there are no human citizens of the AAAZ, though humans do live in the area, whose needs are accommodated on a site-by-site basis, and are subject to Aash'n law within these areas.
It wasn't long after the Aash'n arrival on Earth that it became painfully aware they would require representation to prevent them from being walked over. With this in mind a council for the race in its entirety to have its views shared and to discuss potential issues was created, a special branch of the UN: the United Nations Aash'n Affairs Council, whose first act of business was to sign a treaty guaranteeing hospitality between humanity and its Aash'n guests. Seating thirty delegates, two from each Aash'n vessel-colony, the council existed so that the species had a solid body to talk to Earth nations with.
The idea was optimistic, but soon proved dangerous. The Aash'n were not natural democrats and found the decision-making process of the UN tedious and dull, and also felt the requirement that they be directly elected from their people ludicrous. Most of the Aash'n, they reasoned, lacked any form of technological literacy and were hopelessly under-educated. For this reason it was felt by the technological elite that they could not be trusted to choose sensible and determined politicians.
The move was met with hostility by some nations. President John F. Kennedy was reportedly involved in several heated discussions with the three strongest Aash'n, Executive Communicators El*xe Min, Kendro Mor Shan, and *lowi *lona. These three were particularly derisive of how Kennedy was threatened by losing office due to lack of popularity with 'unsophisticated paupers'. When news of this reached the press Kennedy his Republican opposition, chiefly presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, capitalised on his continued support for the Aash'n despite the insults, and heavy rhetoric over Kennedy's 'weak character in front of alien bullies' cost him heavily in the election later that year.
Instead, the Communicators began to grow closer to the authoritarian Eastern bloc. Even so the Communicators remained vocal on their disdain for Earth's political systems. In September 1964 Nikita Kruschev and Executive Communicator Mor Shan allegedly got into a foul-mouthed argument over excessive Kremlin bureaucracy and communism that only stopped when the translators for both parties decided that it would be wiser to avoid talking. However, the ideals of communism laid the basis for the future organisation of the Aash'n, much to the horror of the West.
In January 1965 the UNAAC announced that they wished to create a new, legitimate state and to declare designated areas surrounding their vessels territory of the Aash'n nation-to-be. Most parties were ambivalent, though Maghrebi politicians were horrified at the prospect of losing even more land to an alien race that the had not been entirely happy hosting. As the process of creating a new nation slowly dragged on, however, it became clear that much more opposition was forming. As the constitution of the new state began to take alarmingly communist ideals NATO members tried to throw up as much flak as possible to stall the process and prove to the Aash'n that the move was pointless. They had tried desperately hard over the last two decades to stop communist expansion, and were not content to see an alien race plant it in Africa and probably manage far more efficiently than either the USSR or PRC.
The Aash'n Nation
But the Aash'n were very much aware of what NATO was attempting. After a fourteen-hour filibuster by the French ambassador to the UN in July 1965 the Communicative Chamber of the UNAAC decided that they should fight underhanded tactics with underhanded tactics - fighting fire with fire. They entered into close negotiation with President Nasser of Egypt, using his ideas of playing the superpowers, and were able to secure from him the promise that, with exceptions, all territories within twenty km of an Aash'n vessel on Egyptian soil were to be considered sovereign territory of the Aash'n Nation. This announcement in December 1965 sickened the US, seeing how easily its control had been undermined, but knew that it couldn't attempt any overt actions of hostility against Egypt and the (unrecognised) Aash'n Nation lest they bring out Soviet sympathies and ignite war.
The Aash'n had locked the rest of the world into indecision. They could not stop supplying aid as it was against the charter signed in 1964, and using military force to dissolve the Aash'n Nation would be looked upon with disgust. Not only would any aggressor face worldwide persecution they would also have to deal with the five hundred million Aash'n themselves, who would be determined to fight to survive. Only one option was open, and even that remained risky: trade embargoes on Egypt, the sponsor of the Aash'n Nation.
These were enacted by NATO members and a few other countries in March 1966, and soon Egypt felt the effects. Its economy began to stall, even with Soviet support. Sympathies rapidly developed throughout the rest of the Maghreb and the Arab world, but they were mostly powerless to stop the NATO-enforced blockade. Unsurprisingly there were protests elsewhere, and in Paris two million people emerged to contest the move. But NATO was stalwart. President Kennedy did not enjoy what he was doing, but in a speech on March 31st announced that he was doing it 'for the good of our guests' and that he was 'not out to sow distrust, only to fight an immoral government'.
Anger flared up in the rest of the Aash'n community. Their leaders petitioned the leaders of their host countries to allow them to create similar Aash'n nations to show their solidarity. Libya was the first to concede, and on May 27th 1966 two more vessels joined the Aash'n Nation, reviling NATO. It was only a matter of time before the rest of the vessels joined, and by November the Aash'n Nation had expanded to cover all fifteen vessels in the Maghreb. NATO sanctions had been met by the Arabian decision to raise oil prices. The Aash'n were at the heart of a rapidly intensifying global conflict.
Neither the Arab world nor NATO were prepared to back down, and it soon appeared that the situation had no resolution. Even the Eastern bloc could not continue to supply these areas with vital aid to support them and in February 1967 announced that they would be slashing exports by 30%. Riots were tearing at the seams of NATO; in March France withdrew from the organization entirely, and a four-day riot caused massive damage in Seattle. But the Maghreb was on the edge; famine was starting to run rife, the economy had all but collapsed, and several reports of Aash'n citizens being lynched were heard. The US thought victory was inevitable.
A miracle was needed. It came in the form of the wonders of Aash'nite biotechnology. They had seeded millions of crops in their zones, some of which were in the middle of desert, and had managed to sustain their population greatly. The crops, however, were mildly poisonous to humans, and therefore the Aash'nite surplus could not be put to effective use - until April 1967, when Aash'n and Egyptian scientists reported that, in spite of the odds, they had managed to successfully crossbreed Aash'nite crops and wheat that took root in the desert. The plants grew rapidly, taking only three months to develop fully, and when they were harvested in July the famine sweeping the Maghreb and Arab worlds were destroyed. By establishing the hybrid wheat as Aash'n property the nation was able to support itself financially, and by signing numerous trade agreements with friendly countries the effects of the embargo slowly became undone. The second harvest in October proved to the world the resilience of the Aash'n and the ineffectiveness of the blockade and finally, reluctantly, NATO backed down. It was the beginning of the end for the organization as a legitimate force.
World leaders reconvened with the UNAAC to discuss the future of the Aash'n Nation. For the first time the Aash'n Communicative Chamber was in the superior position, able to press through reforms with massive speed and with little foreign influence to stop them. It was agreed that the Aash'n Nation should, in name, be dissolved, as it already carried negative connotations of the relationship between humanity and the Aash'n. In its place would come the Aash'n African Administrative Zone, composed of larger partitions of land around their vessels and with huge portions of previously useless desert sold to the Aash'n for crop usage. The nations of the Maghreb, plus Egypt, were guaranteed alliances with the new AAAZ, and several trade agreements were signed with their Arab allies. No trade sanctions were to be enacted for the next decade.The agreement finally pulled through in less than a month, though the nation itself was finally established on January 1st 1968. Only one part of the new nation deliberately harked back to the old: its capital at Giza City on the outskirts of Cairo.
Cold War hangovers
Unlocking history
Modern era
See ClimateFollowing the arrival of the Aash'n, they proceeded with intense genetic modification programmes to create strains vegetation able to colonise the deserts. These were initially seeded around the Aash'nite vessels, but by 1970 the development of desert-hardy crops meant that tracts of near-coastal desert had been colonised. This led to a population explosion in the Maghreb. Due to coinciding with the height of the Green Revolution, techniques of pest control and usage of fertiliser ensured maximum yields from these early crops. As the inner deserts were explored with new infrastructure, irrigated with massive desalination projects, and similarly tamed to produce crops, a greater variety of plants were introduced, both engineered and natural. The result was to create a eclectic mix of biomes, carefully engineered, ranging from a Mediterranean climate to rainforrest. Terran plants and animals dominate the Europe-sized green zone but it is interspersed with many Aash'nite species. In some places the 'normal' wildlife gives way entirely to bacteria farms and reserves of both Saharan and Aash'nite life. The region varies, with a mountainous west and naturally fertile Nile Valley in the east. This has been supplemented with extensive canal and river construction, along with an ongoing process of desalination and orbital manipulation with geostatioanary satellites.

A former New Haven FL9 skirts the edge of Ice Pond on Metro-North's Harlem Line. Tracks in the foreground are the former New Haven route to the Poughkeepsie Bridge. This mid-October scene was captured in 2008 as the classic cab units were winding down their 50-plus-year career hauling commuters to Grand Central Terminal.
By Otto M. Vondrak/Photos by the Author
Metro-North train 9927 heads north near Amenia, New York on a crisp October afternoon. As commuters settle farther and farther away from New York City, this rural single-track has seen an explosion in ridership over the last 20 years.
On a cool, crisp October morning in 2008, I was up with the sun and hiking deep into the woods along one of the oldest commuter routes in the country. A flock of geese makes their way south, and the hustle and bustle of New York City seems a thousand miles away from here. This morning, I was in search of a little tranquility.
Metro-North's Harlem Line is a railroad with many faces. Making its way through Manhattan and the Bronx and into tony Westchester County, the railroad is a multi-track, heavy-duty, urban commuter hauler. Above White Plains we're down to two tracks, but third rail extended in the 1980s propels swift electric trains through the northern suburbs. Just north of Brewster in Putnam County the third rail ends and we're down to a single track. Years ago, the line was a through route for trains connecting with the Boston & Albany at Chatham.
Standing along a lonely streak of rust fifty miles from New York City, I drank in the tranquil scene at Ice Pond. Long ago used by locals to harvest ice for refrigeration, the body of water is girded by rails on both shores. The foliage was at peak, and the hillside was ablaze in vibrant oranges and reds. A slight breeze kicked up the water, and a few birds flew by. A horn sounded from the north, signaling that our train was racing through the crossing at Towners. In a few moments the three-car train came into view, being pushed by a 1960 graduate of LaGrange. The only thing in a hurry in this scene is the train.
