"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.


That says it all.

Not a bad verse for an agricultural lobbyist.

When I first read the headline I thought something was wrong with the Mars Exploration Rovers and I started to worry but then I remembered that the Women of Mars are on the job and I knew that everything would be ok.

This image of the rock called "Humphrey" was taken by Spirit's navigational camera on its 54th sol on Mars. The rock's name was inspired by Humphries Peak - the tallest peak in Arizona and part of the San Francisco volcanic complex.

I thought something was wrong...

Actually, I turned on CoasttoCoastAM and sNorry was talking about problems with a rover. Then he said the other was
going to be joining it shortly.

A repeat show, says the web page. Then I see this article...
