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.

Portsmouth Daily Times article 1-6-10

A pair of local coaches to be honored
by John Stegeman, PDT Sports Editor
8 hrs ago | 72 views | 0 | 2 | |
A pair of local spring sports coaches, John Tipton, a long-time baseball coach at Portsmouth High School and Carol Vice, who coached softball at Clay for 11 years, will be inducted this month into the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association and Ohio High School Softball Coaches Association Halls of Fame respectively.

The Ohio High School Softball Coaches Association (OHSSCA) will induct five new members at a luncheon on Jan. 15.

Joining Vice will be Susie Harrison (Granville), Kirk Kadel (Newton), Sharon Monas (Perry) and Walt Snyder (Bellevue).

Vice, a member of the Clay Coaches' Hall of Fame, coached softball at Clay from 1978 to 1988, accumulating a career record of 261-20, never losing more than four games in a season.

Vice's teams won nine league titles, 11 sectional and 11 district championships as well state championships in 1980, 1981 and 1983.

Clay’s softball team is still the only team from Scioto County and the Southern Ohio Conference to win a state softball title.

The Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association (OHSBCA) will induct four new members to its hall on Jan. 22 at banquet at the Hyatt Regency in Columbus. Joining Tipton will be Jim Dougherty (Hilliard Davidson), Dave DiDonato (Indian Valley), and Mike Schumm (Parkway).

Tipton began his coaching career at Northwest and coached at Oak Hill as well. During his years at Portsmouth Tipton led the Trojans to No. 1 rankings in the Coaches' Poll in 1992 and 1993. Tipton finished his head coaching career at Shawnee State and was also a trials coach for the 2000 U.S.A. Junior National Team, that went on to win the Gold Medal.

Thanks Clay Vice and congratulations Carol !

That is excellent, Clay! You should also be in the H of F. Carol is proud and should be, but she must admit that the affect of Clay-O-Clock was surely a positive one on her girls' teams. I remember Clay Vice as an excellent athelete on Don Monk's and Arch Justice's Clay teams.

A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING:
We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I politely responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He then said, 'NO. It’s not.' Four is larger than two...'

We haven't used Sears repair since.



A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING:
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.' She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.




A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING:
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing an anymore.'


From Kingman, KS.







A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE:
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

From Kansas City







A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, and 'has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?' To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?' He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

Happened in Birmingham, Ala.








A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'

She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS








A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to 'downsizing.' Our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more often.' Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

This was a lunch at Texas Instruments









A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.

A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less.








A "COMMON SENSE" - CHALLENGED SIGHTING:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I already got that side.'

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS

Thanks Marge Rusnak!- 60 seconds with Jesus

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A great way to start your day~!

-----

Really powerful.


God is still in control.




60 seconds with Jesus...



For the next 60 seconds, set aside what ever you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS










At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.











At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixtion Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.











Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.



















The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath.














Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage.











Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.








Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding.









He was simply pouring water from his wounds.












From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture.











He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds.






The human adult body contains about 3.5 litres (just less than a gallon) of blood.











Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest.













All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).













Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access to God.





So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! For you, who now read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).













He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried of what they may think about you.











Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.











God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!










60 seconds with God...








For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.









All you have to do is:




1. Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you: Lord, you know the life of _________. I ask You to bless him/her in all things and make him/her prosperous.. Take care of his/her family, his/her health, his/her work and all his/her future plans. Lead him/her not into temptation, but deliver him/her from evil. In Jesus' name, amen.




2.Then, send this message to 10 people.






3.10 people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God for other people.




4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him.



If you are not ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33): "Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whosoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven".




If you believe, send this message... But send it only if you believe in Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior.




Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my saviour. He keeps me alive day and night.



Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13.





This is the simple proof. If you love God and you believe and trust in salvation through Christ Jesus, send this to all those you love.

Now, You made me cry, Lou- (kidding ;( ). I am diabetic. Processed Sugar is not good for me. Aspertame is a sugar substitute. Is there a safe sugar substitute?

This is an interersting article, but has it been tested by the scientific method and blind block medical studies?

Does anybody know?

Subject: Sweet Poison!!!!! A Must Read






THIS IS THE ARTICLE ABOUT THE STUFF IN DIET DRINKS AND SUGAR SUBSTITUTE.

I am passing this on--didn't write it though.( I did read somewhere else that Sweet and Low is dangerous in the past few weeks.)




In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around.. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.




By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick. She just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of




She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22 nd .




On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS.




I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did.. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment.



I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda!




I e-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.




My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.




Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of hi s MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind.




In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda...and literally dying a slow and miserable death..




When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery.




And she is walking! No wheelchair! This article saved her life.




If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label; DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!




I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME," marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'




In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United States in 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant




I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.




I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!




Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition.




We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas ..




In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly.




This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.




During a lecture, I said, "If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, ver tigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!"




People were jumping up during the lecture saying, "I have some of these symptoms. Is it reversible?"




Yes! Yes! Yes! STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels! Many products are fortified with it! This is a serious problem.




Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice, a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!




Diet soda is NOT a diet product! It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight!




These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve "tissue specimens." Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body!




Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of the "diet products" and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.




Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.




We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame.




The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.




Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE. Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger and rage.




Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well.




Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.. So called "behavior modification prescription drugs" (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed.. Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place! Most of these children were being "poisoned" on a daily basis with the very foods that were "better for them than sugar."




It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War Syndrome.




Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy.




Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners. There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison."




Herein lies the problem:



0A
There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets.




Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED!




There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical and there will be thousands more introduced.. Everybody wants a "piece of the Aspartame pie." I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is.




And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians?




This has been recently exposed in the New York Times.




These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products.




Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infants. The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms.




The bill was killed.

It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well, you're Informed now! YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!
Please print this out and/or e-mail to your family and friends.

They have a right to know too.
