Speaking of batteries, I found batteries and a battery charger at Radio
Shack that charges batteries in 15 minutes. I used it for the first time
yesterday. It has a cooling fan, and when the batteries are recharged, the
unit turns itself off automatically. The only drawbacks as I see it, it is
pretty expensive, although 2 AA rechargeables come with it, and it is bulky.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
LORD...
