We are constantly being bombarded with images. A lot of them are marketing and advertising messages that we see on TV, billboards, or in the paper. And when it comes to the Internet, advertising is everywhere from email to almost every web page you visit. But when it comes to our lives and our faith, it's the images in our minds that have the greatest impact on us.

Advertisers and marketers have long understood the power of imagery. If they can get a person to imagine a certain feeling, and then associate that feeling with a product, they have a much better chance of selling the product to that person. The use of the proper images is extremely important because of the emotions they cause.

And once they get someone emotionally involved with something, once they have created or intensified the desire, the product is sold. The simple truth is that most of us will more readily buy something that we feel we really want over something that we just think we need.

A couple of years ago my wife was tired of driving around in our minivan. She really liked the Mazda commercials with the cute little boy that said, "Zoom, zoom!" And started talking about wanting a little "zoom, zoom" car. About that time she got refrigerator magnet that had one of those 3-D pictures that goes back and forth between two things. The one picture was of a van and the other of the Mazda.

Not long after that she was visiting some of her family and noticed how her nephew, his wife, and their baby, car seat and all, were crammed into their little car. They talked about it and decided to trade straight across, our minivan for their Ford Probe. What we found out later was that the Ford Probe was actually built by Mazda. She had gotten her little "zoom, zoom" car and didn't even realize it.

What would happen with our faith if we would do the same thing that the marketers do, but substitute the desires that God has given us? Would we find that our desire for the things of God would increase if we marketed them to ourselves? And would we experience greater faith if we had a clear picture in our minds of the things we are asking for? The answer is yes.

But a lot of Christians have a problem with the idea of visualization. The problem comes up because the New Age movement has tried to convince everyone that they invented the concept. The truth is that visualization, picturing things in our minds that we are seeking from God, is an old biblical truth and not a New Age phenomenon.

There are times when we "throw out the baby with the bathwater," and we really shouldn't do that with visualization. If we look at the Old Testament example of Jacob in Genesis 30, he used branches that he made to look like spots and streaks in order to help him get a picture in his mind. He had asked God to help him provide for his family. He came to an agreement with Laban, his father-in-law and boss, that he would be able to keep all the spotted and speckled livestock. The branches helped him keep his request in mind, and God prospered him because of his faith.

Is your faith struggling because you can't imagine God actually answering your prayers? The answer may be to take some time and visualize, see yourself receiving your requests from God. The boost that your faith will receive could change the way you pray, and your life.

Ford Reacts on Auto Industry Challenges

Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford said last Thursday that the local auto industry is suffering from the result of its responding dully to foreign competitors and the continuously increasing demand for clean-environment vehicles.

In a speech during the Detroit Regional Chamber's yearly Mackinac Policy Conference, Ford said that the industry is undergoing reorganization that results to the closure of the plants, layoffs, rising unemployment and a falling tax base. The conference was a gathering of 1,700 leaders in the field of business, politics and civic organizations.

In his speech, he said that legal concerns about global warming, energy security and the cost of gasoline have made a rush and pressure that lead to poorly formed solutions. He recalled four years ago when addressing the Detroit chamber, he had warned about the endless attack of foreign-made cars and other problems that pressure U.S. automakers.

In the conference he said that much of what he warned about then is happening now. Good thing is that the industry along with the others who are relying on it is doing their part.

For years of associating with environmental groups and tackling about green issues, many in auto manufacturing considered him as a "crazy radical". Fortunately, people now understand that maintaining a fine environment is the critical issue for the country’s future evolution and prosperity.

His company's projects such as the Ford Rouge Center, a brown field reclamation project, and the development of the Escape Hybrid SUV, according to Ford, please him. One thing he regretted was that they did not move further and faster.

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions, local automakers are investing billions in technology. However, according to Ford, the industry produces only 20 percent of U.S. end products. In lieu of this, he suggested that a national energy policy be implemented as well as a forum for bringing together other carbon emitters. He firmly adhered to these in order to come up with sound solutions.

He said that huge economic opportunities for Michigan are research and development of solutions to climate change.

Ford said that his company has the assets to transform themselves into a leading research and development center. And this includes the intellectual capital, a skilled workforce and a best quality of higher education system. He believed utilizing these assets will contribute a lot in the preservation of conventional jobs and creation of next-generation high technology jobs.

When the audience asked about health care, Ford responded that its reformation was critical for automakers and other manufacturers. He added that it is a broken system that if not solved immediately will pave way for the country’s difficulty in producing anything.

Rep. John Dingell, a Dearborn Democrat and the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said that auto mobile makers have been too unconcerned when it comes to health care and trade issues. He said that as if they are too hesitant in seeking action from the government. According to him, instead of simply complaining about their problems, the companies should tandem with specific solutions and obligate progress.

Dingell also said that the companies are doing nothing to help themselves. They just think the problem, but do not care to solve them. He gave the American auto industry a challenge to stand up for the benefit of many.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow said that the Senate Democratic Steering Committee would tackle automakers, other manufacturers and labor unions. Their meeting regarding this will be held in Washington, D.C. next Wednesday.

do i need to change the computer on a 99 mazda 626,if i change automatic trans 2 a standard?

The mazda 626 have bad transmission,mine went out .And im thinking 2 change it in 2 a standard trans.and is it true that mazda dint build the trans but ford did?it sould be the same trans as in a 99 ford probe,and do they have problems to?

1. Yes, there are quite a few changes associated with this including drivetrain computer replacement. Usually, the most cost effective way is to buy a totaled car from a junkyard, and use it for parts - harnesses, connectors, possibly the trans itself. Otherwise, you are looking at a multi-thousand project, likely more that the car is worth.
As far as who built the trans - who knows, it depends on the day of the week. Ford owns better part of Mazda, and is successfully screwing it up.
