Virgin

a Biblical thought...
So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. (Phil 1:9-10)

a Book thought...
Since organisations are being bombarded with change, you would be wise to make learning a top priority and constantly strive to adapt to new circumstances. (p21 Blanchard)
a Dave thought...
Virgin airline has put in an order for 15 787-9 Dreamliners, which use 20 per cent less fuel for every passenger onboard than other planes of a similar size.Quieter takeoffs and landings are also promised by the aircraft, which is set to be launched next year, with passengers able to benefit from cleaner air, larger windows, increased stowage space and enhanced lighting onboard. "This revolutionary aircraft will bring a step change to the industry, substantially reducing environmental impact and incorporating innovative design and advanced technology, while providing an enhanced flying experience for our passengers."

Last night I flew into Sydney from Perth and could not help but notice how many references there were that I was travelling on an eco-friendly airline. Not only was the plane designed to use less fuel, but the in-flight magazine was on recycled paper and the most impressive thing was that the urinals at the terminal used 96% less water. I think the church can take note here as surely we should also be making a huge effort in all areas to practice and promote a environmentally friendly Salvation Army.

Just a thought.
