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.

... vast confederacy... Thanks Ron Walters!

Quote of the Century


Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon on 04.28.2010.


"The true danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the “prince of the fools” should not blind anyone to the “vast confederacy” of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

Saving a Whale

Thanks Lyle!  I have also received this via Dr. William Daehler and Dr. Benny Benz and my brother, Jim of Portsmouth.  Very Interesting for sure!

Left and right... Thanks Mr. Shover and Mrs. Kim!

Subject: Fwd: The Left" & "The Right" as per "Verse"



I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the “right” and

Liberals are called the “left.”



By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:





“ The heart of the wise inclines to the right,



but the heart of the fool to the left .”





Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)


Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.

Can't get any simpler than that.

57 cents... Beautiful recycle, Doug! Thanks!

A little girl stood near a small



church from which she had been turned away because it was



"too crowded."

















"I



can't go to Sunday School," she sobbed to the pastor as he



walked by.







Seeing her shabby,



unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and,



taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place



for her in the Sunday school class. The child was so happy



that they found room for her, and she went to bed that



night thinking of the children who have no place to



worship Jesus.







Some two years



later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement



buildings. Her parents called for the kindhearted pastor



who had befriended their daughter to handle the final



arrangements.







As



her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled



red purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged



from some trash dump.







Inside was found



57 cents and a note, scribbled in childish handwriting,



which read: "This is to help build the little church



bigger so more children can go to Sunday



School."







For two years she



had saved for this offering of love.







When the pastor



tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would



do. Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to



the pulpit, he told the story of her unselfish love and



devotion.







He



challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money



for the larger building.







But the story does



not end there...







A newspaper



learned of the story and published It. It was read by a



wealthy realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth



many thousands.







When told that the



church could not pay so much, he offered to sell it to the



little church for 57 cents.







Church members



made large donations. Checks came from far and wide.





Within five years the little girl's gift had increased



to $250,000.00--a huge sum for that time (near the turn of



the century). Her unselfish love had paid large



dividends.







When you are in



the city of Philadelphia



, look upTemple



Baptist Church , with a seating capacity of



3,300. And be sure to visit Temple University , where



thousands of students are educated.







Have a look, too,



at the GoodSamaritan



Hospitaland at a Sunday School building



which houses hundreds of beautiful children, built so that



no child in the area will ever need to be left outside



during Sunday school time.







In one of the



rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the



sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents, so



sacrificially saved, made such remarkable history.



Alongside of it is a portrait of her kind pastor, Dr.



Russell H. Conwell, author of the book, "Acres of



Diamonds".







This is a true



story, which goes to show WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH 57



CENTS.



St. Theresa



Prayer

May you not forget the infinite



possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that



you have received, and pass on the love that has been



given to you.

May you be content knowing you are a



child of God.

Let this presence settle into our bones,



and allow your soul the freedom to sing and dance. It is



there for each and every one of you.

He knows so little about his adopted country.
