MI don’t miss It..

Hello Bloggy,

I am so excited about what God has been doing in Michigan. Since the beginning of the year the spirit of God has been moving and I have been lifting an ear. The first week of January my pastor (Pastor Karl of FCC)  gave me a word that this year one of my many creative ideas will finally get off the launch pad. Praise to God; because  God told me once this happens the others will start snow balling. Then we started back up our Wednesday weeknight church services, big plus. This was definitely a move from God because if we can get back into his presence full-time instead of part-time we will see the miracles of God move more than ever before. So it has been a great start to the 2010 calender year. Then we got to the special meetings where Rev Huggins (Kings Embassy)  got confirmation that there is revival starting brewing Michigan.

Well the meetings are in the past, the big event over, and I am wondering what the people of God all over the state of Michigan are doing to get this revival into full speed. At our church I know every single person that walked through the door got words from God and encouragement to draw closer to him. The Lord specifically gave me a word spoke through Rev. Huggins that I think can apply to a lot of people. Let me give you a little background. I have been diligently working the past few years on developing my ideas and products. I have made huge progress, but still have a ways to go. God told me that I can’t get his plans accomplished by using my wit, my charm, or my character. I can honestly say the last few years I have been trying to accomplish these great plans by myself instead of being totally saturated in his presence and let him take the burdens and work out the finite details. Sometimes as men pride can creep in and we want to carry out great things for God by ourselves. We can do great and mighty things without God, what else would you expect from someone designed by the God of the universe. Although great and mighty things are not good enough for me. I want to do extraordinary things for God and the only way that is going to happen is to be totally saturated in his presence.

Not by might nor by power, but by my spirit – Zechariah 4:6

Michigan has been hit hard economically. People have been leaving this state left and right for the past couple of years. Our business and government leaders have made very foolish decisions that have almost crippled our state. Praise the Lord that he takes the foolish to teach the wise. (side note I wonder how many so-called brave Christians left when the going got tough) I have proclaimed this for years that these current economic times are prime opportunity for God’s people to step up and move into the blessing zone where we belong. There is golden opportunity if you can only see it and grab a hold of it without letting go.

Michigan revival is brewing and it will come to those who fall to their knees and get totally saturated with God’s presence. Do not miss the plane before it takes off!

Now or Never…

Hello Bloggy,

Last weekend I was at the Detroit Auto Show and came across something that got my attention. While looking at the Ford exhibit an engine display caught my eye. The engine had been cut in half so you could see the detail of the design. As I inspected the cylinder head I noticed that the fuel was directly injected into the combustion chamber instead of the traditional use of valves.

Quick lesson of how a car engine works. On most cars today a fuel injector will displace fuel into a cavity. Once the cam pushes open the valve this will release the fuel to fall into the combustion chamber (the area between the cylinder head and the top of the piston) once the spark plug ignites this causes an explosion which slams the piston down causing the crank to roll over and in the end turn your wheels.

With this new design of fuel being directly injected into the combustion chamber this will highly create more horsepower and increase fuel economy. Cadillac was the only other manufacturer that used this design and they have only had the technology out for a couple of years. With that being said I am one of the originators of this design. Back in 2001 I was working on a new engine design that would directly inject fuel into the combustion chamber without the use of valves (see dated drawing below). Yep, this is what I was doing on the mourning of 911.

As I pursued the design I quickly realized the number one reason why most product developers quit on some ideas and move to the next. The money needed to take an idea, test the product, and bring it to market adds up very fast. I estimated back then I would have needed roughly 1.3 million dollars to develope the DCI design (Direct Cylinder Injection). Back then I was a novice to the world of product development and those kind of figures scared me away. Well here I am nine years latter on the fringe of having my first product launched, with many others on the back burner waiting for money to fund their development. I am so close I can taste it and I owe my father for some great advice. The last two years I have been working very hard on my BBQ grill design. I came to a stop because I needed about $20,000 to finish the product’s developement. So I was in lingo for about six months. My father encouraged me to work on my most simplest product to raise funds for the developement of the other ideas. I got so focused on the big ideas and totally put aside the small not so flashy products that could make me a lot of money and raise funds at the same time for the other ideas. Thank you dad. Here is a pic of the ford engine with the fuel injector that injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber. My finger is pointing to the tip of the fuel injector, which is above the piston and combustion chamber.

Anti-Social…

Hello Bloggy,

Anti-Socialism that is, America has always been a country that rewards those who strive for their dreams and reach them. The rich should never be robbed to give to the poor. Please don’t mis-understand me here. I believe the government should help out those in need, but there has to be a line drawn in the sand. I have a difficult time supporting a government that wants to reward those who are just pure lazy and do not want to do anything for themselves. Prime example, In New York this past year there were a few white firefighters  who got held back for promotions because the quota was not met for promoting minorities in the department. If the minorities can’t handle the heat get the hell out of the kitchen. There is no such thing as fair in business, sports, or even life itself. If you can’t perform you do not deserve promotions, minority or not. Socialism kills the American spirit to strive for innovation and new technologies. A socialist government will stunt economic growth. I will always strive to keep America free of socialism.
