and fulfilling but doesn't leave
you worried or full of tension.
Another partial solution is
learning to lead a more simple
type of life that won't require
rushing around in vour spare
time or driving long distances for
recreation. You will be surprised
how much more relaxed you will
become.
One of the predictions in
God's Word concerning the last
days is that people would be
rushing here and there. When,
anytime throughout history,
have more people been rushing
around in cars. planes,
motorcycles, trains and buses
than they are today?
But even if you begin to
simplify your life in this hectic
age. there is noway toescape the
problems caused by big
government. inflation and the
threat of another worldwide war
which could destroy all of
humanity
Therefore, the only way to find
true peace of mind and
happiness is by putting your
trust in Jesus Christ, who not
only died for the sins of the world
but also promises to protect and
sustain every believer through
the trials and tribulations of this
life
In fact, the Bible commands
Christians to “Cast all your
anxieties (worries) upon him. for
he cares about you " (I Peter 5:7).
Why should you try to bear all
the anxieties of this life when
Jesus will bear them for you. Life
can be so much more enjoyable
that way!

As our energy needs grow,
we are forced to import more
and more oil in order to close
the gap between energy we
produce and that we need to
meet demands
With domestic energy
sources depleting,
additional resources are
being sought and tapped
continuously Scientists are
seeking ways to produce
methane from the vast
municipal and animal wastes
that are readily available
natural resources.
Methane is a flammable
gas that is a major con
stituent of natural gas. This
efficient fuel is an important
source ol hydrogen as well as
a wide variety of organic
compounds. The rate of
methane production under
natural conditions is a very
slow process and not com-
mercially feasible.
