Supporting Americans Addiction to CHEAP stuff

SHIP FROM CHINA – The Emma Maersk This is how Wal-Mart gets all it’s stuff from China . Get a load of this ship! 15,000 containers and a 207′ beam! And look at the crew-size: 13 people for a ship longer than a US aircraft carrier which has a crew of 5,000 men and officers. Think it’s big enough? Notice that 207′ beam means it cannot fit through the Panama or Suez Canals . It is strictly transpacific. Check out the cruise speed: 31 knots means the goods arrive 4 days before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. So this behemoth is hugely competitive when carrying perishable goods. This ship was built in five sections. The sections floated together and then welded. The command bridge is higher than a 10-story building and has 11 cargo crane rigs that can operate simultaneously. Additional info: Country of origin – Denmark Length – 1,302 ft Width – 207 ft Net cargo – 123,200 tons Engine – 14 in-line cylinders diesel engine (110,000 BHP) Cruise Speed – 31 knots Cargo capacity – 15,000 TEU (1 TEU = 20 ft 3″) Crew – 13 people First Trip – Sept. 08, 2006 Construction cost – US $145,000,000+ Silicone painting applied to the ship bottom reduces water resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per year Editorial Comment! A recent documentary in late March on the History Channel, noted that most all of these containers are shipped back to China, EMPTY Yep you heard it right. We send nothing back on most of these ships. What does that tell you about the current Financial State of this country and the Free Trade agreement?

KCK Author Launches New Book: Now Will You Serve Me?

Now Will You Serve Me? A Collection of Inspirational Reflections for Your Life Journey This book developed from my writing the first poem titled� Now Will You Serve Me?�, after my husband and I endured a traumatic experience with our neighbors. As we were going through that ordeal, I stated to my husband ” God is not happy with us”,-”We are not serving him wholeheartedly”. We developed a routine – making excuses not to attend church, while focusing on worldly issues and material things. As we waited on an answer to our prayers, we were directed by God immediately to a new church home. Praise God!!! While at this church, I had the opportunity to read this poem to my former Pastor�s wife and she was so moved by it, that she strongly suggested that I compile a book. Shortly after, my former Pastor allowed me to recite my inspirational poems to the congregation every Sunday. The congregation embraced me with tremendous support, encouragement and love. I began to write a new poem every week based on life events and God�s anointing. At times, I would be driving down the highway on my way home from work, and I would get a thought that was so overwhelming that I was compelled to pull over and grab a piece of paper and start writing. I thank God for this gift! I pray as you read the reflections in this book, you will be uplifted and encouraged to seek God to establish a deeper, closer relationship with him. I know God is real and he gives us the choice to serve him or not! If you choose wisely, you will never regret it and will be richly blessed. To God Be the Glory!!! By: Brenda G.
