After buying an Air Conditioning Company in 1995 I noticed that most of the new information and training for Heating And Air Contractors was coming from the equipment manufacturers such as Carrier, Trane, Lennox and York. That in itself is not bad but I was quick to notice that there was an entire realm of important information that I could never learn unless i went elsewhere for specific information to solve serious problems we were finding in our customers homes. Problems such as mold, moisture, sick buildings, homes that seemed to actually cause sickness to linger in children and families. One of my clients is a very knowledgeable Doctor who showed me that almost all of the education system and including by far the largest portion of continuing education among professional Doctors is controlled and dispensed by Pharmaceutical companies. So it would appear that the companies who benefit the most financially in a given industry are of course the ones who can afford to do the research and provide and sometimes even “control” the flow of information into entire industries. I suppose that makes sense but doesn’t it also mean that “buyer beware” or perhaps those who really want know, those who really do have inquiring minds will need to do their own research. I have found that to be true in almost all areas of life. Interestingly enough I also began to think of how those of us who attend church can sit in the pew and accept what comes from the pulpit as our only source of information and spiritual life, or we can go above and beyond, perhaps like the Starship Enterprise… To boldy go where no man has gone before… I wonder how many.. search the information out for themselves…. I’m amazed at how much has been provided for us if we are just willing to take the time to search…

Doctors, Air Conditioners and Churches. See if these things be true.
