Message from Our Chaplain - "Chappy's Word of the Week "
Message of the Week from Our CERTOps Chaplain
Greetings Operators!
There is so much that we deal with on a regular basis, let us not alow things that we go through redirect our lives and goals. Remember we work to live not the other way around. Each one of us have been blessed with jobs that we enjoy, let's focus on that when things get some what stressful. Allow the Lord to put things in thier proper perspective. Remember our Father will never alow us to encounter anything that we are not able to bear. I will be lifting up all Operators and thier families in my prayers. Please pray for CERTOps and our vision, we focus on you so you can focus on your job and going home each day.
13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Writing is my passion. Last year, however, for a period of a few months, I did not look forward to writing, considered it as somewhat of a chore, and did not find it as fulfilling as I usually do. Why? Because something that I've come to see as one of the most important components of a happy life was missing: time.
During that period, I was putting the final touches on my book, which I had promised my publishers before the year end, and at the same time was traveling around the United States conducting workshops and giving lectures. While I was doing things that I love -- teaching and writing are both highly enjoyable and deeply meaningful to me -- I had overcommitted myself. I compromised on my happiness because I had too much on my plate.....Read More
Jewish Story of the Week
As a Syrian and a Muslim, I have always had this affinity for the State of Israel.
As a Syrian and a Muslim, I have always had this affinity for the State of Israel. As a businessman and an advocate of the free economic system of governance, Israel to me represents an astounding economic success in the midst of so many Arab failures. I measure achievement not in terms of trade or dollars going in or out (Saudi Arabia is best at that) but in terms of scientific prowess that ultimately churns the economic engine of success. While many Arabs view Israel as a sore implant, I view it as a blessing. I should provide an example of what I mean .....Read More
NewInspirational Music Of The Week - Free Download
This Week free music download is from recording artist Joshua Radin: (File Size 5mb)
Joshua Radin (Cleveland, Ohio) is an acoustic-alternative singer/songwriter.
Radin began his artistic pursuits at an early age with art, acting and music. When close friend and actor/film-maker Zach Braff heard a demo of Radin's song "Winter," he was immediately interested, and got the song onto his show Scrubs in the episode My Screw Up.
The song received an overwhelmingly positive response and gave Radin substantial exposure with the show's demographic. The songs "Today", "Closer", "Don't Look Away" and "These Photographs" were also used on the show. Zach Braff also played the triangle in Joshua Radin's song "Today".
Since, Joshua's songs have been further featured on the FOX Television drama North Shore, and the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy. His song "Star Mile" is on The Last Kiss movie soundtrack. Most recently his song "What If You" was featured on soundtrack to the movie Catch and Release.
The album "We Were Here" was released in 2006, containing many of the songs featured on the various television shows. The album is made up of heavily acoustic indie Folk/Pop, and is especially reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel, Elliott Smith, Damien Rice and Iron & Wine. His song "Everything'll Be Alright (Will's Lullabye)" makes reference to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
