Thanks Dr. Hovermale!

Subject: FW: The times we live in









Not much more I can add....

Ed McMahon died. He was a great entertainer, but prior to his stage
accomplishments he was a distinguished Marine Corps fighter pilot in WWII
earning six Air Medals and attaining the rank of Colonel. He was discharged
in 1946 and was later promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in the CA
Air National Guard.

Farrah Fawcett died after a long career in Hollywood as an actress. After
she was diagnosed with cancer, she became an activist for cancer treatment
and devoted her last remaining years encouraging people to seek treatment
She documented her plight on film and used it to encourage others to stay
positive and upbeat despite their diagnosis and suffering.

Michael Jackson died. Aside from his singing and dancing, he will also be
remembered for his eccentric lifestyle that included sleeping with a
chimpanzee, living in a carnival-like atmosphere at Neverland, his
fascination with Peter Pan, and his numerous masks and costumes. He also
admitted to finding pleasure sleeping with young boys and paying out
millions of dollars in settlements to the families of these boys despite
being acquitted by a court on one allegation of sexual molestation.

QUESTION - Which of the above did the House of Representatives declare a
moment of silence for today? (Hint - It wasn't the first two..)

QUESTION - Which of the above's family received a personal note of
condolence from President Obama? (Hint - It wasn't the first two.)

Pathetic, isn't it.

Saddened that we elders are dieing off.

There is so much that I see as ill in this world today. I remain thankful to the God that sent his son, Jesus, to walk among us. He faced terrible death and there will be more unearned sadness before the end. Yet He was good throughout his relatively short life and strong until his end on earth. The stone was rolled away and He walked among the people again.

May our great God in Heaven bless us all.

The Joy of Muslim Women

MORE food for thought!...


NOTE: This author is interviewed quite often on TV and radio, and is quite articulate ... and authentic.

Joys of Muslim Women by Nonie Darwish
In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child, consummating the marriage by age 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy. Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce. To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses. Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her. The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion. The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman. In the West World (America) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law. By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law. Learn More..... Read: Cruel and Usual Punishment just released in most bookstores. Ripping the West in Two. Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two. She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law. Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before emigrating to America in 1978. When she was eight years old, her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel. He was a high- ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza. When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society. But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television. In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries. For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President! I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference....!

I asked for and received this...

Yesterday was a good day for the SamKat. Dr. Welling and his team put a cochlear implant with inner sound processor in place very successfully at University Hospital at OSU. It will be a few weeks before Brenda Hall, audiologist puts on the external sound processor and gets me to using the hearing system. I am euphoric!
