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.

Happy Easter all ! The greatest gift to mankind is the risen Christ! ... Thx Tom Quinn and friend!


Sam,   Happy, Blessed  Easter to you & yours!!  The story below was sent to me by a close family friend. I know you will enjoy it!! 

 
 

BUT sometimes we need to be reminded.of .how BLESSED we really are…
in so many ways………………………………

 
Passed on with pleasure, and well done, Calgary Fire Department
THIS IS A TRUE  STORY AS A FEW MILLION  PEOPLE WATCHED IT ON GLOBAL  NEWS
If you "tear  up" go ahead, who's watching? 

 
In CalgaryAlberta  a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying  of terminal leukemia.

Although her  heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination.
Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up &
 fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible.. The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dream to come true.

She took her son' s hand and asked,
 'Billy,  did you ever think about what you wanted to  be once you grew up?
Did you ever dream and wish what you would do  with your life?'

Mommy, 'I always wanted to be a fireman when  I grew up..'

Mom smiled back and said, 'Let's see if we can
 make yourwish come true.'

Later that day she went to her local fire Department  inCalgary, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Alberta.

She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible
 to give her 6 year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine. 
 
 Fireman Bob said,  'Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesdaymorning, we'll make him an honorary Fireman for the whole day.
He can come down to the fire station, eat with us,
 go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards!

And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform
For him, with a real fire hat - not a toy one - with the emblem of the  Calgary Fire Department on it, and a yellow slicker like we wear and  rubber boots.'

'They're all manufactured right here in Calgary ,
 so  we can get them fast.'

 

 


 
Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his uniform and escorted him from his  hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck.

Billy got to sit on the back of the truck
 and  help steer it back to the fire station. He  was in heaven. 
 
 There were three  fire calls in Calgary  that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls.

He rode in the different fire engines,
 the  Paramedic's' van, and even the fire chief's car.
He was also videotaped for the
 local news program.
Having his dream come true,
 with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.
One night all of his vital signs began to
 drop  dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept - that no one should die alone, began to call  the family members to the hospital.
Then she remembered the day Billy had spent
 as  a Fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to  be with Billy as he made his transition.

The chief replied, 'We can do better than that.  We'll be there
 in five minutes.  Will you please do me a favor?

When you hear the sirens screaming and see the
 lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire?'
'It's the department coming to see one of its finest members one more  time. And will
 you open the window to his room?'
About five minutes later a
 hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window-------- 16 fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room.
With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him  how much they LOVED him.
 With His dying breath, Billy  looked up at the fire chief and said, 'Chief,  am I really a fireman now?'

'Billy, you are, and
 The Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand,' the chief  said.   With those words, Billy smiled and said, 'I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have  been Singing..'
He closed his eyes one last time.

My
 Instructions were to send this to at least four People that I wanted God to bless and I picked you.
Please pass this to at
 least four people you want to  be blessed.
This
 story is powerful and there is nothing attached. 
 
PLEASE do not break this pattern. Uplifting  stories are one of the best gifts we receive.
There is no cost, but a lot of rewards, let's continue to uplift one another!



                                                                   
  This is a true story
