Digg it UP - Another Tower of Babel?
Have you found your knack yet? I think all of us want to find that slot in life that we just seem to fit perfectly into. Now I'm not just talking about the spouse and family aspect, but also about the career side. Do you know what you would love to do for a living? This is a question that is often more difficult than easy to answer. Okay, not counting becoming a socialite, who just shops all day like Paris Hilton. If you had to pick one job to do for the next 40 years, what would it be? Well, I can give you examples of a few rewarding ones. How about careers in medicine, law, or possibly
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come
With all the buzz about everybody being an entrepreneur these days wouldn't it be nice if you could really find out if you have what it takes?Sure it would.The following profile was adopted over a period of several years of research from successful entrepreneurs worldwide to assist would-be entrepreneurs determine if they have the traits to undertake a new venture.Can we describe what an entrepreneur is? Simply, an entrepreneur is one who undertakes something new or remakes something old and eventually succeeds. Entrepreneurs may fail, and often they do, before they
The Mormons may have started something here according to Chris Talkington.
After the city of Twin Falls gave the church wavers for building height and spire height on the new temple to be built in Twin Falls, Chris decided to open thing up again. He has a special concern. He said, “It could be a contest by religious denominations for who can reach the closest to God.”
Hummmnnn! This is something we must watch out for!
The Mormons are building a temple that will be 50 feet high while Twin Falls only allows buildings to be 35 feet high in residential areas. The spire will be 159 feet high. Fritz Wunderlich, who knows such things, said that there is no spire limit, but that did not make Chris happy. He has that special concern.
The city decided that most folks on that side of town would still be able to see Evil Knievel’s ramp to the east if they stood on their roofs.
Well, the city didn't really decide this. I did.
In 1974, Evil Knievel attempted to fly high above the Snake River and land on the other side--perhaps only suffering a broken hip and a couple of broken arms.
Evil took off with his rocket-powered motorcycle and things looked good.
Then his parachute opened a bit too soon and he landed down in the canyon.
Bummer! (read what I just wrote at http://www.answers.com/topic/evel-knievel).
You don’t have to stand on a roof to see the ramp. You can see it from the Perine Bridge where folks jump off with parachutes all the time.
We allow such things out here in Idaho. We invite you to spend your vacation here parachuting off the Perine Bridge.
One guy jumped 50 times a few weeks back to prove that he could jump 50 times. He got very tired climbing out of that canyon. Five volunteers kept folding and folding those parachutes. Such diligence!
Oh, youth, where hath thou flung thyself?

Biblical Account of the Tower of Babel
Now the whole earth had one language and few words. And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come,

When it comes to phone sales, difficult customers are part of life. Sometimes they can be turned around, sometimes they cannot. But, there is a higher probability of selling to them if you can relate to them, and figure out where they're coming from, without being intimidated or frustrated. Here are some ways I try to dispel their venom, all the while building grounds for a sale.Keep an even tone to your voice and show no negative emotion. Be calm, and have an easy manner. By doing this, you are maintaining control of the call. If the customer rants, stop talking and let them spew
And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the earth. - Genesis 11.
I quote from our source: “Archaeologists examining the remains of the city of Babylon have found what appears to be the foundation of the tower: a square of earthen embankments some three-hundred feet on each side. The tower's most splendid incarnation was probably under King Nebuchadnezzar II who lived from 605-562 BC. The King rebuilt the tower to stand 295 feet high. According to an inscription made by the king the tower was constructed of 'baked brick enameled in brilliant blue.' The terraces of the tower may have also been planted with flowers and trees.” (http://www.unmuseum.org/babel.htm)
Seeing that the Mormon spire will be only 159 feet high, God may not get too angry. But we should be thankful that Chris is looking out for us. We mustn’t have God scatter us again creating another zillion languages, not one of us being able to understand the other.
Hey! Maybe that wouldn’t be all that bad! It could stop all of that babbling in Washington, D.C.
While we are waiting for the new Tower of Babel maybe we could get the Congress to go to Babylon and climb the old tower.
Maybe God would fix things again!
