I've been thinking about investing directly in alternative energy for some time, but have been a bit tentative until I saw some signs of tangible demand. Well that demand seems to be there, based on all the media attention to alternative energy sources. Here's an interesting article from Moneyshow which talks about investment opportunities in wind power.

Psalm 65

The big green bank stopped showing me love, and so I wrapped up my contract there about a month ago. Now for the average old school Jamaican living abroad, being unemployed is one of the horrifying things imaginable. So I thought it was really cute when I told my aunt Rose that I wasn't working at the moment.

Well didn't you know it, my old auntie go into crisis mode. She immediately set about putting together a prayer plan for me, assuring me that she'd pray for me every day. She then made me commit to repeating the following phrase daily - "God is my source of supply, and I am prosperous" (Psalm 65). Sadly, I have not been very diligent with repeating that phrase. Perhaps posting it hear will help to keep it top of mind.

She also made me call this toll free number - 800-669-7729 for Silent Unity so they could pray with me. Not being the most devout of Christians, I have to say I felt a bit awkward doing this, and had I had the foresight to Google the term first, I would have found the website and made my prayer request that way. I'm sure Aunt Rose would have been content with me doing an online prayer rather than a phone-based one.

Anyhow, I've now learnt and experienced something new, there really is such a thing as a prayer line. Who would have thought...
