3.4 Earth - And Geo was his name-O

A heat pump is a great way to heat/cool your house.

Watch this video to see how geo thermal can be used.



Here’s a pretty good article, with sources sited below.

Geothermal Heat Pumps

Geothermal heat pumps (sometimes referred to as GeoExchange, earth-coupled, ground-source, or water-source heat pumps) have been in use since the late 1940s. Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) use the constant temperature of the earth as the exchange medium instead of the outside air temperature. This allows the system to reach fairly high efficiencies (300%-600%) on the coldest of winter nights, compared to 175%-250% for air-source heat pumps on cool days.
While many parts of the country experience seasonal temperature extremes—from scorching heat in the summer to sub-zero cold in the winter—a few feet below the earth's surface the ground remains at a relatively constant temperature. Depending on latitude, ground temperatures range from 45°F (7°C) to 75°F (21°C). Like a cave, this ground temperature is warmer than the air above it during the winter and cooler than the air in the summer. The GHP takes advantage of this by exchanging heat with the earth through a ground heat exchanger.
As with any heat pump, geothermal and water-source heat pumps are able to heat, cool, and, if so equipped, supply the house with hot water. Some models of geothermal systems are available with two-speed compressors and variable fans for more comfort and energy savings. Relative to air-source heat pumps, they are quieter, last longer, need little maintenance, and do not depend on the temperature of the outside air.
A dual-source heat pump combines an air-source heat pump with a geothermal heat pump. These appliances combine the best of both systems. Dual-source heat pumps have higher efficiency ratings than air-source units, but are not as efficient as geothermal units. The main advantage of dual-source systems is that they cost much less to install than a single geothermal unit, and work almost as well.
Even though the installation price of a geothermal system can be several times that of an air-source system of the same heating and cooling capacity, the additional costs are returned to you in energy savings in 5–10 years. System life is estimated at 25 years for the inside components and 50+ years for the ground loop. There are approximately 50,000 geothermal heat pumps installed in the United States each year.

3.3 Soul - Protein Mousse

For those of you who don’t know, I’m in a wheelchair, and I need something that’s easy to eat, that won’t cause me to choke, that’s nutritional, and of course tastes good. So I like to share with you a recipe I came up with, where I took a protein shake and altered it to have a the consistency of a mousse or instant jello cheesecake. Other people who are handicapped, who have a hard time eating, this might be a solution for you, too. I don’t do this for every meal, but it helps.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 heaping teaspoon of Great Lake unflavored Gelatin or one packet of knoxx unflavored Gelatin. A pack of Nature’s Plus Spiru-tein High protein Energy shake any flavor. (Other protein shakes would probably work as well. You’ll have to experiment)

Step one: Boil or microwave 4 oz. of water. Then put in Great Lake Gelatin. Stir until dissolved or use one pack of Knoxx and boil 8 oz. of water.

Step two: Put Great Lake gelatin water in blender. Add additional 4 oz. of any liquid of your choice or 4 oz. of Knoxx gelatin, so you’ll have 4 oz. left because Knoxx makes two shakes so add 4 oz of any liquid of your choice with 4 oz of Knoxx.

Step three: Add one packet of protein shake into blender with the liquid you of your choice blend altogether. When done blending put in container. Then refrigerate overnight.

3.2 Mind - Proverbs 3

Proverbs 3

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.[a

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.

11 My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.[b]

19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations,
by understanding he set the heavens in place;
20 by his knowledge the watery depths were divided,
and the clouds let drop the dew.
21 My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
preserve sound judgment and discretion;
22 they will be life for you,
an ornament to grace your neck.
23 Then you will go on your way in safety,
and your foot will not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Have no fear of sudden disaster
or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26 for the LORD will be at your side
and will keep your foot from being snared.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in your power to act.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
“Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—
when you already have it with you.
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
who lives trustfully near you.
30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
when they have done you no harm.
31 Do not envy the violent
or choose any of their ways.
32 For the LORD detests the perverse
but takes the upright into his confidence.
33 The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34 He mocks proud mockers
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
35 The wise inherit honor,
but fools get only shame.

3.1 Heart - Give me wisdom or give me death

I just wanted to share with you one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible: Proverbs 8. Just check it out and see how awesome it is. It starts off by referring to wisdom as a woman. But when you start reading you realize it veers from that to the Messiah’s words, Yeshua, (Jesus in Hebrew). Because he was with God, while everything was being created. Just like the Holy Spirit was. Because God is the marvelous mystery of being three in one. God is so powerful He chooses to work in three different fashions simultaneously. This just isn’t something you can explain easily. Because it is beyond our minds and comprehension. That’s like one mind controlling three people. That’s incredible!

So here you go. Take a look at Proverbs 8:
