Subject: "Prayer for you".

Body: Dear Ken and Linda, I just want you to know William and I have been praying for you. I know yo= ur hearts so I don't look at the circumstances and neither does God. It do= esn't depend on the circumstances, the strength of your arm or your voice. = I hope you find this encouraging and uplifting. =20 I wanted to share some verses with you both and some things that Oswald Cha= mbers says in his book His Utmost for His Highest. "My eager desire and ho= pe being that I may never feel ashamed, but that now as ever I may do honou= r to Christ in my own person by fearless courage." Phil. 1:20 =20 "We shall all feel ashamed if we do not yield to Jesus on the point He aske= d us to yield to Him. To get there is a question of will, not of debate no= r of reasoning, but a surrender of will, an absolute and irrevocable surren= der on that point. An over-weaning consideration for ourselves is the thin= g that keeps us from that decison, though we put it that we are considering= others. When we consider what it will cost others if we obey the call of = Jesus, we tell God He does not know what our obedience will mean. Keep to = the point; He does know. Shut out every other consideration and keep your= self before God for this one thing only- My Utmost for His Highest. I am d= etermined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone. Whether = that means life or death, no matter. Paul is determined that nothing shall= deter him from doing exactly what God wants. God's order has to work up t= o a crisis in our lives because we will not ! heed the gentler way. He br= ings us to the place where He askes us to be our utmost for Him, and we beg= in to debate; then He produces a providential crisis where we have to decid= e- for or against, and from that point the "Great Divide" begins. If the c= risis has come to you on any line, surrender your will to Him absolutely an= d irrevocably. What do you expect to do? You do not know what you are goi= ng to do; the only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Trus= t Him entirely. You may not know what He will do next, but you have to tru= st He does. We need to come in close contact with the teachings of Jesus C= hrist. If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace relig= ious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of all the u= ndue familiarity with which we approach God it is questionable whether we h= ave ever stood in His presence." God bless you during this time. We will continue to pray for God's will in= your lives. Sincerely,

Subject: "Gouger Gray Davis :".

Body: Gouger Gray Davis California's petulant governor ignores reality as he overpays for electricity LANCE T. IZUMI Mr. Izumi is a senior fellow in California Studies at the San Francisco- based Pacific Research Institute. On the surface, things seem to be going pretty good for Gov. Gray Davis with regard to California's electricity crisis. The governor has scored some nice publicity by switching on some new power plants. The weather has been unseasonably cool. His poll numbers are edging back up. Yet beneath this optimistic picture lie troubling problems. For example, Davis's argument that out-of-state power generators are responsible for the electricity crisis has been falling apart. For months, Davis has been claiming that private generators have overcharged California by $8.9 billion and demanded that this amount be refunded to the state. However, after a two-week mediation between state officials and the generators, Curtis Wagner, the federal government's chief energy regulatory judge, rebuked Davis's claim saying that such a huge overcharge "has not and cannot be substantiated." Further, while the generators may be liable to refund a much smaller amount to the state, perhaps $1 billion, Wagner said that generators are owed more money by the state than they owe the state in refunds: "Can a cash refund be required where a much larger amount is due the seller? The chief judge thinks not." Davis reacted to the judge's ruling by calling it a "raw deal" and by urging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to ignore the lack of evidence and the judge's conclusions and to "step up and provide the refunds we've asked for." Davis's position, as usual, is motivated purely by politics. Indeed, Dan Walters of the Sacramento Bee says that Davis is operating in a "melodramatic virtual world" de-linked from reality. Davis's blame-the-generators argument took another body blow when newly released documents showed that, on average, major out-of-state power companies such as Enron, Duke, Dynergy and Mirant charged less than the average prices paid by the state during the first three months of the year. California government utilities, on the other hand, such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), charged the state much more for electricity than the out-of-state generators. For example, while Texas-based Enron, a favorite Davis whipping boy, charged an average $181 per megawatt hour, SMUD charged an average $330 per megawatt hour. Davis responded to this revelation in typical political fashion. A Davis spokesman said that the governor had expressed his anger at "the generators who wear cowboy hats" and that "just because there are other entities that are charging us more doesn't change the fact that we are getting ripped off by companies from Houston, Tulsa, Atlanta or Charlotte." Yet, for all Davis' feigned indignation about consumers being ripped off, it turns out that he and his regulators are poised to ensure that business consumers are ripped off by state government. Davis has signed $43 billion in ill-advised long-term purchase contracts at rates above-market-price. The state must, therefore, ensure that enough business customers remain in the current state-controlled distribution system to pay for high-priced state power purchases. This is especially important to Davis since the high prices are borne disproportionately by business. Thus, Davis' regulators are set to eliminate "direct access," which allows businesses to shop for cheaper power. Who's the real gouger? No matter how much Davis points the finger, Californians are paying dearly for his political opportunism and bad policies.
