For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Is death really the end? Jackie Brown e-mail

I believe in the after- death of the Bible. 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18. The Xenos minister, Dr. Jeff Gordon, spoke of it from that scripture this morning in the Cafe .

Is death really the end?





Dear Fellow Conservative:



Is there life after death? For millennia, nearly every human civilization, from the primitive to the most advanced, has answered that question: Yes.



Today, however, the opposite view has been gaining ground -- as militant atheists like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins openly mock belief in an immortal soul as irrational and unscientific.



But are science and reason really on their side?



Not according to bestselling author Dinesh D'Souza. In his new blockbuster, Life After Death: The Evidence, D'Souza presents a reasoned, scientifically-based case that life after death is not only possible, it is probable. He says it has far more evidence on its side than atheistic arguments about death marking our utter extinction.



Now, for a limited time, HUMAN EVENTS is making Dinesh D'Souza's Life After Death: The Evidence available to you absolutely FREE.



In your FREE copy of Life After Death: The Evidence, you'll discover:

a.. How quantum physics lays the groundwork for a science-based belief in life after death

b.. Why it is perfectly reasonable to assume that your immaterial consciousness can survive the dissolution of your material body

c.. The great atheist philosopher -- who provided one of the greatest proofs for the likelihood of an afterlife

d.. How the theory of evolution, far from undercutting the idea of life after death, supports it

e.. The evidence of Near Death Experiences -- what it tells us, what it doesn't

f.. Why the Christian view of the afterlife is the most compelling and best suits the evidence

Provocative -- and with a mastery of the arguments from philosophy, physics, and biology -- D'Souza shows why we can expect that what Shakespeare called the "undiscovered country" will be discovered by us all.

Subject: Re: Cucumbers



Never Knew This About Cukes!!! Well almost none of these facts! The Amazing Cucumber This information was in The New York Times several weeks ago as part of their "Spotlight on the Home" series that highlighted creative and fanciful ways to solve common problems.



1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.



2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.



3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.



4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.



5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!



6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!



7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.



8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.



9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!



10. Stressed out and don't have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.



11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.



12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.



13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

Clay Vice- Mystery at the beach

A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach almost every day. She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around and then speak to them.




Generally, the people would respond negatively and she would wander off. But occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money and something that she carried in her bag.



The couple assumed that she was selling drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure, they decided to just continue watching her.



After a couple of weeks the wife said, 'Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?' He hadn't and said so.



Then she said, 'Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing.'



Well, the plan went off without a hitch and the wife was almost hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave.. The man then walked up the beach and met his wife at the road.



'Well, is she selling drugs?' she asked excitedly.

'No, she's not,' he said, enjoying this probably more

than he should have.



'Well, what is it then? What does she do ?' his wife fairly shrieked.



The man grinned and said, 'She's a battery salesperson.'



'Batteries?' cried the wife.



'Yes!' he replied.

'She Sells C Cells by the Seashore!'



And People Ask Me Why I Like Retirement...

Mom's empty chair- e-mail- Patriocia Richards Whitehead PHS 50

Subject: MOM'S EMPTY CHAIR






A woman's daughter had asked the local Minister to come and pray with her

mother. When the

minister arrived, he found the woman lying in bed with her head propped up

on two pillows.



An empty chair sat beside her bed. The minister assumed that the woman had

been informed of

his visit.



'I guess you were expecting me, he said.



'No, who are you?' said the mother.



The minister told her his name and then remarked,



'I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up.



'Oh yeah, the chair,' said the bedridden woman. 'Would you mind closing the

door?'



Puzzled, the minister s hut the door. '



I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter,' said the woman. 'But

all of my life I have

never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about

prayer, but it went right

over my head.' I abandoned any attempt at prayer,' the old woman continued,

'until one day four

years ago, my best friend said to me, ' Prayer is just a simple matter of

having a conversation with

Jesus.



Here is what I suggest. 'Sit down in a chair; place an empty chair in front

of you, and in faith see

Jesus on the chair. It's not spooky because he promised, 'I will be with you

always'. 'Then just

speak to him in the same way you're doing with me right now.'



'So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours

every day. I'm careful though. If

my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous

breakdown or send

me off to the funny farm.'



The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old woman to

continue on the

journey. Then he prayed with her, anointed her with oil, and returned to the

church.



Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her mama had

died that afternoon.



Did she die in peace?' he asked.



Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock, she called me over to her

bedside, told me she loved

me and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store an hour later,

I found her .



But there was something strange about her death. Apparently, just before Mom

died, she leaned

over and rested her head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of

that?'



The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said, 'I wish we could all go

like that.'





Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.



* I asked God for water, He gave me an ocean.

* I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.

* I asked God for a friend, He gave me all of YOU...



If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.



Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

OBITUARY










Born 1776, Died 2008







It does not hurt to read this several times.








Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning last November's Presidential election:


a.. Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29

b.. Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:

Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.


If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.

If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.
