Musings and occasional *soapbox* rants on all that inspires me, and on the journey that shaped me. Thoughts on faith, friends, and family.

Ryan To The Rescue (That's My Boy)
My son Ryan is amazing to me. He always has been, but this takes the cake. He's trying to make the world a better place. Yes, that's his agenda.
So, while in college he studied alternative energy. Over the past year he has developed his own company here in North Texas called *W.I.R.E.S.* (Wilson Innovative Renewable Energy Solutions) and through local interests, and support he is providing solar water heaters to local builders so they can build new *Green Homes*. These water heaters heat using the sun's rays and converting them to energy to heat water to over 200 degrees. Better yet, it takes up very little space and and pay for themselves. Does your water heater do that?
Imagine your gas or electric bill cut by a 3rd or more? Water heaters take up a ridiculous amount of energy that can be naturally produced for free from the sun. Your not relying on the grid to supply this portion of your energy, so the end result is unlimited hot water and more money in your pocket. Sounds wonderful doesn't it? Hey anytime I can keep more of what I earn, and not harm the environment, I'm happy.
This is just the start for Ryan. He's got some kind of freaky genius about him. He's always thinking of new inventions or ways to modify some gizmo. He thinks so outside the box! It's amazing to watch. He genuinely has a mind for mechanisms, and sometimes, I think I can actually SEE the gears turning in his head! (At least the smoke coming out of his ears..lol)
So keep an eye out for Ryan and his W.I.R.E.S...... Better yet; get involved. Consider alternative energy. Think you can't make a difference? Money tight? Well, you can always dry your clothes outside, grow your own veggies, and save rainwater... See? Your already on board.
This is so exciting!!! My sons out to make a difference. This isn't about commercial success, although that will naturally follow any great idea... it's about undoing the damage, and leaving a cleaner place for our great grandchildren. It's about keeping some of the hard earned money we earn, and it's about being self sufficient to a larger degree than oblivious America is now.
It's also about being a good steward of everything, and every responsibility God gives us. Our money, or homes, & our enviroment. Being a steward is the same as being a *manager*. We are to manage these things with the upmost respect. Respecting Gods creation seems like it would be pretty high on the priority list, eh? And it doesn't hurt to lead by example, either.
This is just the beginning... so hold on tight. The paddle wheels are rolling and Captain Ryan is at the helm.

Hooray 4 Ryan!!! :-)
You know, since I will be moving to Texas in just a few short days...maybe your son wouldn't mind coming over and helping us out...lol.
My husband has been talking alot about getting solar paneling for our roof and we have the funds so will look into it once we are settled. Since it is a town house we will have to check with them to see if it's alright if we have solar panels on the roof.
I don't plan on having a dryer, all our clothes will be hung outside or inside if it's raining on drying racks.
Our goal is to learn how to have a small garden but again we will have to see what the rules are for the community there...
I have all these things and more mapped out in my head already and I can't wait to put them to use!
Hurry up July 4th!!!! I want to be in Texas already!!!! LOL.
Bless you!
Dawn
Hi Dawn!
I can't believe it's getting that close for you!!! We will finally be neighbors, or at least within a drive from each other. That will be nice.
Ryan is something else. He has more energy than anyone I've ever seen. But I have been accused of the same thing,,, So maybe it runs in the family? He's a thinker too.
Once you get settled, and find out if there are any restrictions, I can help you get a garden started, and whatnot. If your interested in solar, Ryan's your man. lol...
Blessings, and See You Soon!!

Can't tell you're a proud Mama! :) That's awesome. I've been reading about alternative energies for a while now. My husband and I are talking about buying some property and "camping" until we build something, so all the ideas I can come up with are being added to the folder. This is great!
Peace,
Darelina
Darelina,
YOUR RIGHT! I am very proud of Ryan. Not just for doing his part to fight the green fight, lol, but also where he has come personally.
It's so wonderful to see those prayers answered. Next prayer quest: A GODLY WIFE!!
Good job on your part too. We all have to do what we can.
Love ya girl,
Kelly
Dawn,
One more thing... I am hoping to help you can whatever you grow in that garden!!
Blessings,
Kelly

Whoa, all those brains, and good looking to boot!
How much more could you ask for - except a good wife, of course!
OHHHHHH Yes... PRAYING FOR A GOOD WIFE (daily) LOL...
Ryan is pretty awesome, and I have 2 more smart, good looking boys. One is already married and we LOVE his wife, (answered prayer) and the other is 25 and single.
If I knew they were going to be this great I would have had a dozen!
Kelly
