67 years after the atomic bombs in Japan

HOW DID YOU VOTE THE PAST YEAR? 

What has been the cost of the 9/11 memorial?

How much longer will it take to complete one memorial?

How much more will it cost to complete?

Who is getting the money?

 Subject: FW: 67 years later/SIML

 

GOOD ONE!!!!

 

                                67 years later!


What  happened to the radiation that 
lasts thousands of years?

HIROSHIMA  1945








We all know that  Hiroshima and  Nagasaki     were destroyed in August 1945
after the explosion of atomic bombs.
However, we know little about the progress made by the people of that land  
during the past 67 years.


HIROSHIMA - 67 YEARS LATER

























DETROIT- 65  YEARS AFTER  HIROSHIMA























What has caused more long term 
destruction - the  A-bomb,
or 
Government welfare programs created to 
buy the votes of those who want   someone to take care of them?

Japan does not have a welfare system.

Work for it or do without. 

These are possibly the 5 best sentences   you'll ever read and all applicable to this   experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into   prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of   prosperity.

2. What one person receives without   working for, another person must work for   without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody   anything that the government does not first   take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that   they do not have to work because the other   half is going to take care of them, and when   the other half gets the idea that it does no   good to work because somebody else is   going to get what they work for, that is the   beginning of the end of any nation.

Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I.

Children with Jesus Poem ... Thanks Pat A. 5 lyle S.!

Subject: poem from this morning's meeting

This is a copy of the poem that Deb read this morning if anyone is interested in having it.

 

 

 

 

twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.

they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"this is heaven." declared a small boy. "we're spending Christmas at God's house."
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this land!"
"may this country be delivered from the hands of fools"
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!"
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"come now my children, let me show you around."
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."
