The Company's strategy
for achieving that goal
has three components:
Reduce - Improving
water efficiency by 20
percent by 2012, com
pared to a baseline year

Replenish - Expanding
the Company's support
of healthy watersheds

touch you - you are shielded
and protected by the blood of
Jesus; He is LORD! Glory
Be to God! There is NO
CONDEMNATION to him
who is in Christ, Jesus! No
weapon formed against you
shall proper! If God be for
you, who can be against you!
These are some of His prom
ises to His Bom Again chil
dren and He is not a man that
He should lie! (Numbers
23:19) Life in the Spirit is far
better than life ill the flesh
and I am asking you to live
that "LIFE," and receive
God's forgiveness.
Luke 17:21 says, "The
Kingdom of God is within
you." Jesus spoke to us and
said, "I AM the light of the
world! Follow Me, and you
won't be
walking in the dark. You will
have the light that gives life."
(John 8:12).
God loved the people of this
world so much that He gave
His only Son so that every
one who has faith in Him,
will have eternal life as you
live on earth, and never real
ly die. God did not send His
Son into the world to con
demn its people. He sent
Him to save them! No one
who has faith in God's Son
will be condemned.
Accept Jesus as Lord
and Savior today.
Be strong in your faith,
just as you are taught, and be
grateful. Go to church. Read
your Bible, and. grow strong
in the Lord (Colossians
2:6.7) (Ephesians 5:8-10).
God Bless you until He
comes again.
