Dear Friend of Life,
They did it. On Christmas Eve, the Senate pushed through the largest expansion of federally-funded abortion since Roe v. Wade. This reckless bill will subsidize insurance plans that cover elective abortions - and your tax dollars will be paying for it.
Americans United for Life is fighting back against taxpayer-funded abortions. Will you stand with us against Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Planned Parenthood by making a year-end, tax-deductible contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more?
The taking of innocent life is indefensible, and now they want to force you to pay for it. Your tax dollars should never be used to pay for abortions.
For the first time in history, this irresponsible bill actually imposes a mandatory abortion tax on unwilling Americans. Even if you never intend to have an abortion, this bill forces you to pay for elective abortion coverage with your tax dollars! However there is still time to prevent this tragedy.
Please help us fight back against taxpayer-funded abortions with an urgently needed year-end, tax-deductible contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more. I'm counting on your financial support so we can continue our life-saving work today.
We urgently need you to stand with us and the millions of pro-life Americans who will be funding abortions every time we pay our federal income taxes. The pro-abortion forces and their supporters in Congress have been emboldened by this government takeover of health care. They are rolling back decades of pro-life law and will not stop. As we enter the New Year, we will continue to stand for the cause of life and against these pro-abortion forces that are on the march.
Yours for Life,
Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D.
President & CEO
Americans United for Life
P.S. This is your last chance to make a year-end, tax-deductible contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more. Every dollar of your generous donation is 100% tax-deductible. With your support, we'll continue working to ensure that your tax dollars are never used to pay for abortions.

THE SON
*The SON *

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had

>
> *About a month later, just before Christmas,* there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.*
>
> *He said, 'Sir you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your
son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me
to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He

>
> *The father* *opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the

>
> *The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors

> *The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of
his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the
great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.*
>
> *On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded
his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who

>
> *There was silence...*

> *But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting?
> Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'*
>
> *Another voice angrily said, 'We didn't come to see this painting.
We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the *real bids!'*
>
> But still the auctioneer continued.. 'The son! The son! Who'll take
the son?'*
>
> Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the

>
> 'We have $10, who will bid $20?'*
>
> 'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'*
>
> The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of the
son.* They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.*
>
>>The auctioneer pounded the gavel. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'*
>
> *A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the

Remember Elections in November 2010
Take a look at this and just remember elections in Nov. 2010.
U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
1. They voted to not give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and
You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is
-$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
3. Over 2-yrs they each get $10,000 Right-click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, Outlook prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet.
4. Do you feel SCREWED?
5. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase?
NO WAY . They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past. You obviously are too stupid or don't care.
6. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you? SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.
IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS:
Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND REMIND THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.
Maybe it's time for the........
Amendment 28
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves!!! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America .
If you don't forward this to all your friends you're just part of the problem of national apathy.
Belief fuels enthusiasm, and determined enthusiasm explodes into passion. It fires our souls and lifts our spirits

Dear Friend of Life,
Congress is on the verge of authorizing the greatest single expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade - and your tax dollars will be paying for it.
For years, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and their pro-abortion allies have been quietly developing a formidable grassroots army. In its latest annual report, Planned Parenthood's Action Network claims to have recruited "more than 200,000 new supporters," with "affiliates [that] reach every corner of America." Planned Parenthood has also been amassing a considerable "war chest" to spread its pro-abortion message to vulnerable Americans. Last year, it reported a $1 billion budget and a profit of $85 million!
Americans United for Life cannot hope to raise that kind of money within the next few months, but we do need to raise enough to get our life-saving message out to the public. Will you help us ramp up our year-end efforts with your generous tax-deductible contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more to Americans United for Life?
I recently looked at Planned Parenthood's annual report and financial summary - and you wouldn't believe what I saw. In 2007, Planned Parenthood-affiliated "health centers" provided 305,310 abortions - but only 4,912 adoption referrals! It's not hard to figure out where Planned Parenthood's priorities lie. Make no mistake about it - the pro-abortion movement is an aggressive army, and it is on the march across the nation.
Americans United for Life needs significant funds to combat this pro-abortion momentum. Will you help us ramp up our year-end fight with your tax-deductible contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more to Americans United for Life?
For Life,
Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D.
President & CEO
Americans United for Life
P.S. Every dollar of your year-end contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more is 100% tax-deductible. Your tax dollars should never pay for abortions, and it is only thanks to your financial support that we are able to continue to defend human life every single day. Thank you for your investment in life.

NEW COVENANT UNDER GRACE
Grace is always & alone to do the work in our sanctification & fruit bearing. We have to allow grace to do all it can.
New Covenant - ALIVE TO GOD
Ephesians 2:4 - 10
4) But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5) even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6) and raised us up together, & made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7) that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8) For by grace you have been saved through faith, & that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9) not of works, lest anyone should boast.
10) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
We have been created into Jesus Christ for good works which God prepared for us. Grace alone works them in us. We are alive to God through His Grace
Romans 11:6
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
Living under Grace into Jesus Christ we shall never have sin dominion over us. We have to walk as Jesus Christ did. It is a narrow road. It isn't wide. It is us utterly giving ourselves to God. It is called submission to God & to Gods will for us.
We need to ask the God to have our eyes open by the the Holy Spirit to see into the New Covenant & what grace has in our Christian Life!
We believe in our Covenant God to cause grace to abound toward us. To live the life of faith that we depend & trust in. Look to God through Jesus Christ & by the Holy Spirit to work in us, that which is pleasing in Gods sight.
Through the blood of the everlasting covenant of Jesus Christ. We should enter into that new covenant. Every believer is a child of the New Covenant & heir to all of its promises. The death & resurrection of Jesus Christ, gives us full rights to the possessions of God promised. God wants to bring us into the promises by His Grace through Jesus Christ.
It is every believers inheritance. It is Gods Grace, His will to work in you. This is above what you can ask for or even think. His will makes you a monument of His Mercy & Grace.
Act on that faith; knowing it is your inheritance. It is the everlasting covenant we have by Gods Grace!!

Subject: Fw: I joined the NEW AARP
AMEN AND AMEN….. ________________________________ The New AARP Yep, the heck with the ultra-liberal, old AARP. (American Association for Retired Persons). I joined the NEW AARP. Let me get this straight. Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose Chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress which hasn't read it, signed by a President who smokes, funded by a Treasury Chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country that is nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?

MINISTRY OF THE NEW COVENANT
MINISTRY OF THE NEW COVENANT
2 Corinthians 3:2 - 6
2) You are our epistle written in our hearts, known & read by all men;
3) you are manifestly an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
4) And we have such trust through Christ toward God.
5) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves but our sufficiency is from God,
6) who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
The New Covenant is ministration of the Spirit. As the Holy Spirit ministers grace & blessings in a divine power & life. We as ministers of the New Covenant we need to walk by the Holy Spirit. It has its glory & fruits; which is demonstrated in & of the Power & the Spirit.
Walking in the Spirit of God we would have sufficiency from God. We would be able to the the Words of God. We would be able to speak the words of God. That the Word of God be written in the heart & in their life. To walk in that privilege of grace & to be a minister of the Spirit!
We need to study the Word until we walk in the Spirit power & what God means for the ministry to be. To open up, to praying & laboring for God.
The Spirit has twofold work. One is giving holy disposition & character. Second is qualifying & empowering people for work.
We should receive the promise of Christ that we should receive the HOLY SPIRIT our HELPER. The Holy Spirit is to be used in our services. Ministers should know what it is to be Led of the Spirit
Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin & death.
A ministry should know & experience a heavenly life & power. He should be a personal witness & become the proof of the truth & power of God. All the work can be done by the power of the Spirit.
1 Peter 1:12
To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to *us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven -- things which angels desire to look into.
1 Corinthians 2: 3 & 4
3) I was with you in weakness, in fear, & in much trembling.
4) And my speech & my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, bur in demonstration of the Spirit & power.
We need to lead God's children to live in His word, His promises, & for Christians to fully experience it's power as the Spirit ministers. To feed God's children the truth. Whether with intercessory prayers, or private for counseling or even for teaching them. Daily receive & claim the total anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Our Heavenly Father wants All of His children to live in a continual fellowship with Him. To do so is in the Holy Spirit, through bible study, prayer, faith, love & obedience.
In the church today there is now weaknesses, formalities, worldliness, lack of any holiness, no personal devotions. The Holy Spirit is not known in our churches today. He's looking from the outside, looking in. He wants to be there!
ALL of us should be living & enjoying the power of the Holy Spirit! IT IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT. Take it in.
Compare churches with the Word of God. If they do not teach God's word, find one & see what you are missing.
1 Corinthians 2:5
that you faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:10 - 12
10) But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11) For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
12) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely to us by God.
Read 1 Corinthians 3: 5 - 17; which the ministers are fellow workers with God.
Then read 3:18 - 4:5; that is whee Ministers are Accountable to God!
More writing on it in 2 Corinthians Chapter 3.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand, to teach you what can be done. What to do. Become Spirit lead.
That our hearts be one with God. To walk in the Spirit of God. To be continually in prayer. To minister of the New Covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit of God!!
AMEN & AMEN
2 Corinthians 3:2 - 6
2) You are our epistle written in our hearts, known & read by all men;
3) you are manifestly an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
4) And we have such trust through Christ toward God.
5) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves but our sufficiency is from God,
6) who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
The New Covenant is ministration of the Spirit. As the Holy Spirit ministers grace & blessings in a divine power & life. We as ministers of the New Covenant we need to walk by the Holy Spirit. It has its glory & fruits; which is demonstrated in & of the Power & the Spirit.
Walking in the Spirit of God we would have sufficiency from God. We would be able to the the Words of God. We would be able to speak the words of God. That the Word of God be written in the heart & in their life. To walk in that privilege of grace & to be a minister of the Spirit!

THE TALKING CENTIPEDE
A single guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet.
So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede, (100-legged bug), which came in a little white box to use for his house.
He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to church with him.
So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to church
with me today? We will have a good time."
But there was no answer
from his new pet..
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked again, "How about going to church with me and receive blessings?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.
This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and shouted, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go to church with me and learn about God?"
.... YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS ....
This time, a little voice came out of the box,
"I heard you the first time!
I'm putting on my shoes!"

THE MARINE
This is a poem being sent from a Marine to his Dad. For those who take the time to read it, you'll see a letter from him to his dad at the bottom. It makes you truly thankful for not only the Marines, but ALL of our troops.
THE MARINE
We all came together,
Both young and old
To fight for our freedom,
To stand and be bold.
In the midst of all evil,
We stand our ground,
And we protect our country
From all terror around.
Peace and not war,
Is what some people say.
But I'll give my life, So you can live the American way
I give you the right
To talk of your peace.
To stand in your groups,
and protest in our streets.
But still I fight on,
I don't fuss, I don't whine.
I'm just one of the people!
Who is doing your time.
I'm harder than nails,
Stronger than any machine.
I'm the immortal soldier,
I'm a U.S. MARINE!
So stand in my shoes,
And leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you,
With the protests they've shown.
Fight for the stranger,
Fight for the young.
So they all may have,
The greatest freedom you've won
Fight for the sick,
Fight for the poor
Fight for the cripple,
Who lives next door.
But when your time comes,
Do what I've done.
For if you stand up for freedom,
You'll stand when the fight's done

Hey Dad,
Do me a favor and label this 'The Marine' and send it to everybody on your email list.. Even leave this letter in it. I want this rolling all over the US ; I want every home reading it. Every eye seeing it. And every heart to feel it. So can you please send this for me? I would but my email time isn't that long and I don't have much time anyway.
You know what Dad? I wondered what it would be like to truly understand what JFK said in his inaugural speech. 'When the time comes to lay down my life for my country, I do not cower from this responsibility. I welcome it.' Well, now I know. And I do.
Dad, I welcome the opportunity to do what I do. Even though I have left behind a beautiful wife, and I will miss the birth of our first born child, I would do it 70 times over to fight for the place that God has made for my home. I love you all and I miss you very much. I wish I could be there when Sandi has our baby, but tell her that I love her, and Lord willing, I will be coming home soon. Give Mom a great big hug from me and give one to yourself too.
Aaron
Please let this marine (and all our military) know
we care by passing his poem onto your friends even if you don't usually take time to forward mail...do it this time, please!
Let's help Aaron's dad spread the word ..... FREEDOM isn't FREE Someone pays for you and me.

Meaning of Twelve Days of Christmas
This week, I found out.
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.
-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.
-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.
-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.-
-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.
-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.
-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.
So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...so pass it on if you wish.'
I never knew this either. I hope you find this interesting. I sure did.
Enjoy the twelve days of Christmas.
Happy Birthday Jesus

Dear Londa,
It was just after 1 AM this morning when the US Senate voted to proceed with a massive takeover of health care that will result in a new mandatory 'abortion tax' on people across America.
As you may know, the new health care bill will create new government "exchanges" where individuals and employers can shop for health care plans. Many of these plans will cover abortions and those plans will be subsidized with taxpayer funds for the first time in American history.
This will create the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade, and you will be forced to pay for it.
So what's next? There will be a series of votes on this bill over the next several days culminating with a final vote expected at about 7pm on Christmas Eve. Please continue to call or email your Senators about this health care bill. Since many of them will be in your home state during the next week, a personal visit would be even better.
Remember, even if the Senate does pass the bill on Christmas Eve, the fight isn't over yet.
After the first of the year, the Senate and House will have to go to conference committee and work out the differences between the two different bills each chamber has passed. Once a final version is produced, it must be passed again in both the House and Senate before it can go to the President's desk for signature. Click here to get the details.
We will draw a final line in the sand, and together we can still defeat this bill.
Like you, for weeks now I've been looking forward to spending these next few days with my husband Jack, our five children, and many other family members. But we will not stand aside while the fight for life continues. Thank you for everything you have done so far and for standing with us in the days ahead.

LOVE EXCEEDS FAITH
LOVE EXCEEDS FAITH
EXCEED - (Webster Dictionary)
1) to extend out side of.
2) to be greater than or superior to.
3) to go beyond a limit.
syn. Exceed: Surpass, Transcend, Excel,
Means: to go beyond a stated or implied limit, measure, or degree..
Surpass - suggest superiority - superiority in quality, merit.
Transcend - implies a rising or extending notably
Excel - implies preeminence in achievement or quality & may suggest superiority.
1 Corinthians 13:1-2
1) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
We should really take time and study the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians as it exercise Gifts with Love. It is the love chapter. To really meditate upon it. And get to know it so, we can walk more in LOVE. Not with ourselves but of others. To walk daily in love, the world would change so, It would be as God would want it to become. There are a lot of Christians say to others that they walk in love but, they always put self first. They do not put God first, others, It is Self, God, others. They really need to learn putting God first, their lives would be so much better and to walk in love for others & self. People are afraid that people will take advantage of them. If you put God first, do you think that God will allow others to really take advantage of one of His children??
John 15:12-14
12) This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13) "Greater love has no one than this, that to lay down one's life for his friends.
14) You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
John 13:35
"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
If there is not love in your heart nobody will believe the Christian life is any different then what is in the world. NO DIFFERENT at ALL!
True love reaches & touches the heart more quickly then anything else. Nothing even comes close to it. The badge that Christ gave to His disciples. People will see the love of God through our eyes & into our heart.
Love also fulfills the Law!!
Romans 8:4-5
4) that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Which is LOVE!
Galatians 6 2
Bear one another burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Romans 15:1-3 & 5
1) We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2) Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
3) For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.
5) Now may the God of patience & comfort grand you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus.
James 2:8
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well;
Loving your neighbor is all neighbors not just friends! Some are lovable others may not be so much. By the Holy Scriptures it is love everybody!!! To bear their weakness & to edification of our God. The Holy Spirit is your helper, your comforter.
What the church needs today is love. More love for God, more love for fellowmen. If we love God we would love our fellowman!!
I want the love of God burning in my heart & soul, that unquenchable flame. To be able to reach mankind & win them to Christ!! That I do not fine fault with others! Most of the time we find fault with others only to build ourselves up. And here we are not doing anything ourselves. We are trying to take the blame off of upon the Glory of Jesus our LORD & act as Jesus did. Jesus did not find fault in people. When their was sin He would try to correct the person because He loved us. And did not want us to live in Sin & Death.
Walking in the Agapy Love of our God; & our deeds will speak of God.
Agapy - agapao (Greek wording)
divine, unconditional love. the love that consumes, highest level & purest form of love a selfless love.
Walking in the Agapy Love our deeds will speak in a very larger way of whom God is!
Romans 5:1,5, & 8
1) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5) Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
8) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
Finding peace through the knowledge of our sins being forgiven; It is just like a mountain that it cannot be moved.

1) We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2) Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
3) For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.
5) Now may the God of patience & comfort grand you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus.
James 2:8
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well;
Loving your neighbor is all neighbors not just friends! Some are lovable others may not be so much. By the Holy Scriptures it is love everybody!!! To bear their weakness & to edification of our God. The Holy Spirit is your helper, your comforter.
What the church needs today is love. More love for God, more love for fellowmen. If we love God we would love our fellowman!!
I want the love of God burning in my heart & soul, that unquenchable flame. To be able to reach mankind & win them to Christ!! That I do not fine fault with others! Most of the time we find fault with others only to build ourselves up. And here we are not doing anything ourselves. We are trying to take the blame off of upon the Glory of Jesus our LORD & act as Jesus did. Jesus did not find fault in people. When their was sin He would try to correct the person because He loved us. And did not want us to live in Sin & Death.
Walking in the Agapy Love of our God; & our deeds will speak of God.
Agapy - agapao (Greek wording)
divine, unconditional love. the love that consumes, highest level & purest form of love a selfless love.
Walking in the Agapy Love our deeds will speak in a very larger way of whom God is!
Romans 5:1,5, & 8
1) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5) Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
8) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
Finding peace through the knowledge of our sins being forgiven; It is just like a mountain that it cannot be moved.

December Roberts Report
December 11, 2009
Health Care Reform
Health Care continues to be the top issue in the U.S. Senate. The current $2.5 trillion health care reform bill will result in higher premiums, tax increases and Medicare cuts to pay for more government. This bill cuts home health care, nursing homes, hospitals, Medicare, and taxes the middle class to pay for this government expansion that will still leave 24 million Americans uninsured.
Senator Roberts said, “I remain committed to responsible health care reform that improves access to affordable insurance and health care for all Americans. I want to protect the benefits of millions who would like to keep the coverage they have. However, this bill is irresponsible and funded on the backs of our seniors by slashing Medicare by a half-trillion dollars, raising taxes and expanding Medicaid. These cuts will hurt Medicare beneficiaries, our Kansas seniors who have worked their entire lives with the promise that this program would support them through their older age. This bill aims to control the government’s spending on health care by rationing your access to that care. I have already voted against this legislation and I will continue to oppose it at every opportunity.”

Plan for Afghanistan
After the President’s speech on his plan for Afghanistan , Senator Roberts remarked: “President Obama laid out his plan for success in Afghanistan , sending an additional 30,000 troops to the country and starting a withdrawal of our forces in 2011. I have long said that in order to finish the missions in both Iraq and Afghanistan , we must trust the advice of our commanders on the ground. I am especially confident in experienced leaders like General Petraeus and General Caldwell, who both recently served as the Commanding General at Fort Leavenworth . I have no doubt that General Petraeus is bringing his extensive experience to bear and that General Caldwell is working hard to ensure the Afghan forces will eventually be self sufficient, allowing our troops to come home.
“To be successful, Afghanistan needs to be able to govern and defend itself from terrorists within the country. The key question for the American people, our allies, the people of Afghanistan and especially our adversaries will be whether the President accepts responsibility for what has to be done and through his actions demonstrates that he is fully committed to the difficult task of bringing stability to the region. If this is the case, I support the President’s increase in troop levels. However, I remain concerned that artificial time lines for withdrawal will tie the hands of and further endanger our men and women in uniform while emboldening the Taliban and other terrorists. I hope this will not be the case.”
World War I Memorial in Kansas City
Senator Roberts recently sponsored legislation to designate the Liberty Memorial and Museum in Kansas City as the National World War I Memorial. Currently although more than four million Americans served in WWI, there is no national recognized memorial honoring their service. Senator Roberts said, “Liberty Memorial has been a fitting national tribute to World War I since 1921. As a former Marine, honoring our nation’s veterans, past and present, is of the utmost importance. WWI veterans and their families deserve a recognized national memorial, and our nation needs to be reminded of this Great War for generations to come. Liberty Memorial should be named the official national memorial for WWI.”
Following the 1918 armistice, the Liberty Memorial Association raised $2.5 million for a memorial for World War I to be built in Kansas City , MO. The site was dedicated in November 1921 with the ceremony attended by Allied Commanders. After three years of construction, the 217 foot tall memorial was dedicated in 1926 by President Calvin Coolidge before a crowd of 150,000 people. In 2004, the Liberty War Memorial Museum was dedicated the “ National WWI Museum ,” which is the only public museum dedicated to the history of the Great War. For more information, visit www.theworldwar.org .
New Website
To continue to better serve Kansans, Senator Roberts launched a new “home on the web.” Kansans can visit the updated site at: http://roberts.senate.gov and sign up for a monthly e-newsletter, the “Roberts Report.” To complement the new site, Roberts has started an official Facebook page and a YouTube branded site where floor speeches, interviews and other video can be found.
To find Senator Roberts on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/SenPatRoberts and to watch videos of Senator Roberts on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/SenPatRoberts .
The new site will still focus on service to Kansas , facilitate greater communication with constituents, and still includes a link to email Senator Roberts. There is also direct access to legislation Senator Roberts champions, with detailed issue statements, bill status and voting records. For students, the website provides information on applying for a nomination to the country’s military academies as well as information on internships for college students in Senator Roberts’ Washington , DC office. Roberts said, “The site offers information on my activities on behalf of the state, on what to see and do when you visit our nation’s capitol and help with scheduling tours in Washington . If you visit D.C., I hope it will include a stop in my Washington office and a tour of the U.S. Capitol building.”
Homeland Security Visit to NBAF Site
Showing further commitment to NBAF, Senators Roberts and Brownback and Rep. Jenkins (R-KS) lauded the Department of Homeland Security’s Under Secretary for Science & Technology Dr. Tara O’Toole’s visit to Kansas in preparation for construction of the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF). Sec. O’Toole met with state leaders in Topeka and toured the Biosecurity Research Institute (BRI) in Manhattan with state officials and members of the Kansas Bioscience Authority. The NBAF, which will be built at Kansas State University in Manhattan , Kan. , will serve as the nation’s premier research center for combating threats to agriculture from naturally occurring diseases and agro-terrorism. DHS plans to break ground in 2010 and expects to be operational by 2015. For more information, visit www.nbafinkansas.org .
“Dr. O’Toole’s visit to Kansas demonstrates DHS’s commitment to building the NBAF and responding to the critical need for new animal vaccines and countermeasures. I am pleased Sec. O’Toole is in Kansas touring the BRI and that this vital project remains a high priority for the Administration. With the NBAF, the nation is bringing its capabilities in this area into the 21st century, and the result will be accelerated research to safeguard America ’s dinner table,” Senator Roberts said.
Tanker
Amid reports that Northrop Grumman will not bid on the U.S. Air Force contract to replace the nation’s aging tanker fleet, Senator Roberts made the following statement:“I find it appalling that Northrop Grumman is using the threat of no competition to skew what has so far been an open and fair process to their advantage. This is nothing less than sole source blackmail, and it is unfair to the warfighter and to the American people. Northrop Grumman’s insistence on biased changes in the last competition lead directly to its cancellation and yet another delay in the procurement of a tanker. I hope the Department of Defense stands firm under this pressure and will not be coerced to provide something other than the best plane for our warfighter. Bottom line: we need a new tanker. We have been going back and forth on this for more than seven years and we’ve failed to update the tanker for our troops who are now flying missions in planes that were first delivered in the 1950's. I hope the Department of Defense maintains their schedule so that this competition can finally move forward.”

s Americans Look for Work, White House Continues Job-Killing Plans
After pushing policies for the past eleven months that have resulted in almost three million more Americans losing their jobs, I was hopeful this week that President Obama would announce a responsible plan to put folks back to work. I was encouraged by his announcement of supporting targeted tax relief for small businesses, especially eliminating the capital gains tax. Unfortunately, those benefits will likely be buried under his continued support of job-killing and expensive big government plans that will make it more difficult for small businessmen and women to hire more employees.
To make matters worse, President Obama and Speaker Pelosi have said they plan to use TARP bailout funds to pay for their Stimulus II. The TARP bailout was supposed to be a one-year, emergency program. I am extremely disappointed the Democrat majority intends to turn this into a government slush fund to pay for more government spending. I joined some of my colleagues in the House sending a letter to Speaker Pelosi opposing this plan, and I am hopeful she will listen to our concerns.
The President said he intends to work with anyone who has plans to create jobs and grow our economy. That’s why I am hopeful he will follow through on his promises to work across the aisle and decide to work with House Republicans on creating jobs. I have worked as a member of an Economic Recovery Working Group that has crafted a no-cost economic stimulus plan. I believe if we encourage investment, keep taxes low, expand trade opportunities and stop recklessly spending your money, our nation’s economy can bounce back. We cannot spend our way back to prosperity. The days of the Democrat majority pushing a big-spending, big-government agenda must come to an end.
Opposing Permanent Bailout
I am disappointed the House this week passed legislation to codify the TARP bailout, making it permanent. Financial institutions, not taxpayers, made bad decisions so it is wrong to force taxpayers to continue bailing out those institutions. That’s why I offered an amendment to prohibit taxpayer funded bailouts, but unfortunately, the majority in Congress disagrees and refused to even allow an up or down vote on my amendment. Creating jobs and reducing our nation’s deficit should be the top priority in Washington. This legislation fails on both accounts.
I supported an alternative bill to protect consumers and enact reforms to prevent future collapses in the financial industry. The bill I supported would not restrict credit or raise taxes. It’s time to jump-start our economy with smart policy and good government. Congress should not further reward bad decisions by continuing to bailout failing financial institutions. Click here to watch remarks I made on the House floor during debate of this legislation.
EPA Moves to Mandate Carbon Dioxide Emissions amidst "Climategate" Controversy
Earlier this week, the Environmental Protection Agency ruled that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health and that they will begin regulating such gases, whether or not Congress takes action. Although the House narrowly passed a cap and trade national energy tax earlier this year, that legislation is at a standstill in the Senate. The ruling by the EPA is nothing other than a bureaucratic power-grab to bypass the rightful legislative process.
Even worse, this EPA ruling is on the heels of a discovery that some of the most prominent scientists are knowingly discarding and dismissing dissenting views to global warming. The “Climate-Gate” scandal is especially worrisome because it shows politicians and bureaucrats, such as those at the EPA, basing major public policy decisions on science that is being manipulated. We need to make progress toward energy independence, but it cannot and should not be done on the backs of rural America. I will continue to fight for an all of the above energy plan that includes wind, nuclear and clean coal, expanded drilling and exploration, as well as conservation.
Urging Speaker Pelosi to Allow an Up or Down Vote to Increase the Debt Limit
According to multiple reports, Speaker Pelosi is considering attaching a provision to increase the debt limit to the FY 2010 Defense Appropriations bill. This is unacceptable. Speaker Pelosi should not use legislation to provide necessary funding for our troops to pass legislation she either doesn’t have the votes to pass on its own or to avoid forcing her Democrat members from taking a tough vote. I sent Speaker Pelosi a letter in opposition to attaching a debt ceiling increase to the Defense Appropriations bill, and I am hopeful she will listen to our concerns and allow a clean up or down vote to increase the debt limit.

Cake Mixes & Toxins- **PLEASE READ** Pass this on to ALL in your address book. You never know whose life you may save by doing so. For those of you at work, PLEASE remember to check your cupboards when you get home tonight!!!
This is confirmed on Snopes
http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/pancake.asp
A student at HBHS (high school) had pancakes this week and it almost became fatal. His Mom (registered nurse) made him pancakes, dropped him off at school and headed to play tennis. She never takes her cell phone on the court but did this time and her son called to say he was having trouble breathing. She told him to go to the nurse immediately and proceeded to call school and alert the nurse. The nurse called the paramedics and they were there in 3 minutes and worked on the boy all the way to the hospital. He came so close to dying. Evidently this is more common then I ever knew. Check the expiration dates on packages like pancakes and cake mixes that have yeast which over time develop spores. Apparently, the mold that forms in old mixes can be toxic! Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix, brownie mixes, Bisquick, cake & cookie mixes, etc., you have in your home.
P.S. Tell this to your children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and anyone else who keeps these types of mixes in the cupboard.
If you love someone tell them, for who knows what the next moment may hold.
Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things

THE SACK LUNCHES
The Sack Lunches
I put my carry-on in the luggage
compartment and sat down in my
assigned seat.
It was going to be a long flight..
'I'm glad I have a good book to read
Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought.
Just before take-off, a line of soldiers
came down the aisle and
filled all the vacant seats,
totally surrounding me.
I decided to start a conversation.
'Where are you headed?' I asked the
soldier seated nearest to me.
'Petawawa. We'll be there for two weeks
for special training,and then we're being deployed to Afghanistan
After flying for about an hour,
an announcement was made that
sack lunches were available for five dollars.
It would be several
hours before we reached the east,
and I quickly decided a lunch would
help pass the time..
As I reached for my wallet,
I overheard soldier ask his buddy if
he planned to buy lunch.
'No, that seems like a lot of money for
just a sack lunch.
Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks.
I'll wait till we get to base '
His friend agreed.
I looked around at the other soldiers..
None were buying lunch.
I walked to the back of the plane
and handed the flight attendant a
fifty dollar bill.
'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.'
She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly.
Her eyes wet with tears,
she thanked
me.
'My son was a soldier in Iraq ;
it's almost like you are doing it for him.'
Picking up ten sacks,
she headed up the aisle to where the
soldiers were seated.
She stopped at my seat and asked,
'Which do you
like best - beef or chicken?'
'Chicken,' I replied, wondering
why she asked.
She turned and went to the front
of plane, returning a minute
later with a dinner plate
from first class.
This is your thanks.'
After we finished eating,
I went again to the back of the plane,
heading for the rest room.
A man stopped me.
'I saw what you did.
I want to be part of it.
Here, take this.'
He handed me twenty-five
dollars..
Soon after I returned to my seat,
I saw the Flight Captain coming
down the aisle,
looking at the aisle numbers
as he walked,I hoped he was not looking for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers
only on my side of the plane.
When he got to my row he stopped, smiled,
held out his hand, and said,
'I want to shake your hand.'
Quickly unfastening my seat-belt
I stood and took the Captain's hand.
With a booming voice he said,
'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot.
Once, someone bought me a lunch.
It was an act of kindness I never forgot.'
I was embarrassed when applause
was heard from all of the passengers.
Later I walked to the front of the plane
so I could stretch my legs.
A man who was seated about
six rows in front of me reached out
his hand, wanting to shake mine.
He left another twenty-five dollars
in my palm.
When we landed I gathered my
belongings and started to deplane.
Waiting just inside the airplane door
was a man who stopped me, put
something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word.
Another twenty-five dollars!
Upon entering the terminal,
I saw the soldiers gathering for their
trip to the base.
I walked over to them and handed
them seventy-five dollars.
'It will take you some time to
reach the base. It will be
about time for a sandwich.
God Bless You.'
Ten young men left that flight feeling
the love and respect of their fellow travelers.
As I walked briskly to my car,
I whispered a prayer for their
safe return.. These soldiers were
giving their all for our country.
I could only give them a couple of meals.
It seemed so little....
A veteran is someone who,
at one point in his life, wrote a blank
check made payable to
'The United States of America '
for an amount of
'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way
too many people in this country
who no longer understand it.'
May you have the strength and
courage to pass this along to
everyone on your email buddy list....
I put my carry-on in the luggage
compartment and sat down in my
assigned seat.
It was going to be a long flight..
'I'm glad I have a good book to read
Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought.
Just before take-off, a line of soldiers
came down the aisle and
filled all the vacant seats,
totally surrounding me.
I decided to start a conversation.
'Where are you headed?' I asked the
soldier seated nearest to me.
'Petawawa. We'll be there for two weeks
for special training,and then we're being deployed to Afghanistan
After flying for about an hour,
an announcement was made that
sack lunches were available for five dollars.
It would be several
hours before we reached the east,
and I quickly decided a lunch would
help pass the time..
As I reached for my wallet,
I overheard soldier ask his buddy if
he planned to buy lunch.
'No, that seems like a lot of money for
just a sack lunch.
Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks.
I'll wait till we get to base '
His friend agreed.
I looked around at the other soldiers..
None were buying lunch.
I walked to the back of the plane
and handed the flight attendant a
fifty dollar bill.
'Take a lunch to all those soldiers.'
She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly.
Her eyes wet with tears,
she thanked
me.
'My son was a soldier in Iraq ;
it's almost like you are doing it for him.'
Picking up ten sacks,
she headed up the aisle to where the
soldiers were seated.
She stopped at my seat and asked,
'Which do you
like best - beef or chicken?'
'Chicken,' I replied, wondering
why she asked.
She turned and went to the front
of plane, returning a minute
later with a dinner plate
from first class.
This is your thanks.'

Friends,
I have sent a letter to Planned Parenthood challenging them to tell you and every American taxpayer just how much they stand to gain from the health care bill and federal funding for abortion.
children
Planned Parenthood is the world's largest abortion provider, with an annual budget in excess of $1 billion - that's right, $1 billion - and posted an $85 million profit last year. Planned Parenthood also received $350 million in federal funding in 2007.
The number of federal government "bailouts" of private businesses over the past year is bad enough - but forcing American citizens to finance the abortion industry under the guise of "health care" cannot be accepted. The taking of human life is not health care. That's why Americans United for Life is fighting back against abortion lobbyists in the U.S. Senate. Will you join our fight today?
You can help prevent the tragedy of a dramatic increase of abortions in America -- funded by your tax dollars! Please follow this secure link right away to make a contribution of $50, $100, $250 or more to support our fight against federal funds being used to take innocent lives.
Every year, well over 1,000,000 children lose their lives through abortion in America. For decades, existing federal law has prohibited the use of taxpayer funds from paying for abortions. But now a radical change would take place if the Democrat's health care bill becomes law, our government would force pro-life taxpayers to pay for abortions.
Senate Democrats are perilously close to passing a health care bill that does not include language prohibiting federal funding of abortion; in fact, it explicitly includes federal funding for abortions and for insurance plans that include abortion coverage. If this version of the bill passes, there's virtually no way the final version will protect life when it is signed into law by President Obama.
We worked with pro-life Senators to have a mirror version of the Stupak-Pitts Amendment included in the Senate bill. But pro-abortion Senators like Barbara Boxer, Claire McCaskill, and others who have publicly stated the bill will not pass with any pro-life language prevailed and killed the pro-life amendment that would have maintained existing law preventing taxpayer funds from being used for abortion.
The abortion industry does not need a government bailout! I cannot think of a greater, more important fight than to keep taxpayer funds away from the abortion industry. I can't even imagine how many more children will be killed each year if we allow our tax-dollars to be used to end innocent lives.
We must continue this fight and get this message out to as many people as possible. Please follow this link immediately to give as generously as you can, then forward this message to friends, family, colleagues - everyone you know.
We are not powerless in this fight. We can choose to have our dollars used to protect life, not end it. So I hope I can count on your support today.
For Life,

THE LAW IS THE LAW
THE LAW IS THE LAW!
I really love this one.
This is one of the better e-mails I have received in a long time! I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over!!!!! So Be It!
THE LAW IS THE LAW
So "if" the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it.
And "if" that same government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.
I would like to think that those people have the American public's best interests at heart.
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?
Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the "US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day.
I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct."
In fact....
I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day....
What do you all think????
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the "minority opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the "majority" of ALL of the American people.
SO BE IT...........
Please Dear Lord,
Give us the help needed to keep you in our country!
'Amen'
Touché!
These are definitely things I never thought about but from now on, I will be sure to question those in government who support these changes.
At the top, it says "I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over!!!!!"
Let's see that it does.
This is so true, I believe this is what the government should do!!
Thank you Linda for sending this to me!

From Mayo Clinic on Heart Attacks - good information
To add to your body of body knowledge:
Dr. Virend Somers, a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 a.m. and noon, Somers said. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened, he said. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame..
1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, to take it
at night. the reason: aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life". therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the aspirin would be strongest in your system.
2. fyi, aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest. Years.
(when it gets old, it smells like vinegar.)
please read on.
WHY ASPIRIN BY YOUR BED save lives...
It is important to always have ASPIRIN in the home!!!
Why have Aspirin by your bedside?
ABOUT HEART ATTACKS
There are other symptoms of an heart attack
besides the pain on the left arm.
One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less
frequently.
NOTE : There may be no pain in the chest during an heart attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had an heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens, IMMEDIATELY DISSOLVE TWO ASPIRINS IN YOUR MOUTH and swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards, phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by and state "HEART ATTACK!!!" and that you have taken 2 ASPIRINS
Take a seat on a chair or sofa and wait for their arrival and .....
DO NOT LIE DOWN!!!
A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, would share this information it would save lives,
I have already shared the information!!! What about you? !!! !!!

Dear Rev. Picard,
Thank you so much for taking the time to contact me with regard to jobs and the state of our economy. As your representative in Washington, I want you to know how much I value your thoughts and concerns.
Kansans continue to feel the effects of this economic downturn, and it is my priority to give individuals and families relief by keeping their taxes low. We also need to give small businesses incentives to expand their business and get people back to work. In order to attract and keep businesses in the US, we need to create an environment that will encourage businesses to invest here at home.
As a member of the House Savings Restoration Solutions Group, I am committed to helping Kansans rebuild their personal, retirement and college savings' accounts. In order to get our economy back on track, we must help businesses create new jobs and assist individuals and families in building and rebuilding their savings for the future.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please never hesitate to call, email, or write if you have any issues or concerns on your mind. Also feel free to visit my website at www.lynnjenkins.house.gov where you can see what I have been up to and sign up for my weekly newsletter.

JUSTIFICATION
Justification
The act process, or state of being justified by God.
Sanctification:
1. holiness of life & character - Godliness
2. quality or state of being holy or sacred
3. sacred objects, obligation or rights
Salvation:
salvation is from to save
1. deliverance from the power & effects of sin
2. liberation from ignorance or illusion
3. deliverance from danger or difficulty, preservation from destruction or failure.
As a Christian we want to be clean, purified, & pardoned
Jesus came to take away -
a) penalty of sin
b) power of sin
c) presence of sin
Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart & put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh & give you a heart of flesh.
God knows we cannot change our hearts or cleanse our nature but, He can & He does. He causes us to be born again by the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus looked at them & said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
It says ALL things are possible with God. It doesn't say somethings it says All things are possible.
God can change our nature & turn us completely around. He turns us to move toward Him. God has given us a Blood Covenant, a promise to us that we become born again, a new person.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
This refers to the spiritual transformation that occurs with the inner man when a person believes in Christ as Savior. The Christian is now a new man as opposed to the old man that he was before he became a Christian.
Ephesians 4:24
and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness & true holiness.
Romans 6:4
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also shuold walk in newness of life.
This is the motivation of the message of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:18-21
18) Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to HIMSELF through Jesus Christ, & has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
19) that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, & has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20) Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us; we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
21) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might , become the righteousness of God in Him.
Strong's Concordance Greek 2643 - reconciliation
i.e. restoration to (the divine) favor -- atonement

Dear Friend,
Tonight, the Senate defeated the prolife Nelson-Hatch-Casey amendment, which mirrored the Stupak-Pitts language, prohibiting federal funds from being spent on destroying innocent life.
This crushing blow to the majority of Americans opposed to federal funding of abortion occurred after Senator Barbara Boxer of California motioned to table the amendment, a procedural move that spells defeat.
The Senate has spoken. They effectively endorsed the abortion lobby’s goal of mainstreaming abortion as health care and paying for abortion with our tax dollars!
Well over 1,000,000 innocent lives are ended by abortions each year, and now the U.S. Senate has chosen to move forward with a health care bill that will allow our federal tax dollars to fund even more abortions.
How can this be?
This morning, in a letter sent to Cecile Richards - the President of Planned Parenthood - and published in The Hill newspaper, I challenged Cecile to tell the American public how much money they will gain from the health care bill’s expansion of abortion.
Planned Parenthood is a billion dollar industry but according to a recent Harvard case study, their business is struggling financially. The abortion industry is the beneficiary of today’s vote. This is an abortion business bailout bill.
HOW TO TAKE ACTION!
I ask you to stand with Americans United for Life Action, on the merits of our belief that all human life is a sacred gift, endowed by our creator. This is NOT health care! Real health care protects life!

Tonight, the Senate defeated the prolife Nelson-Hatch-Casey amendment, which mirrored the Stupak-Pitts language, prohibiting federal funds from being spent on destroying innocent life.
This crushing blow to the majority of Americans opposed to federal funding of abortion occurred after Senator Barbara Boxer of California motioned to table the amendment, a procedural move that spells defeat.
The Senate has spoken. They effectively endorsed the abortion lobby’s goal of mainstreaming abortion as health care and paying for abortion with our tax dollars!
Well over 1,000,000 innocent lives are ended by abortions each year, and now the U.S. Senate has chosen to move forward with a health care bill that will allow our federal tax dollars to fund even more abortions.
How can this be?
This morning, in a letter sent to Cecile Richards - the President of Planned Parenthood - and published in The Hill newspaper, I challenged Cecile to tell the American public how much money they will gain from the health care bill’s expansion of abortion.
Planned Parenthood is a billion dollar industry but according to a recent Harvard case study, their business is struggling financially. The abortion industry is the beneficiary of today’s vote. This is an abortion business bailout bill.
HOW TO TAKE ACTION!
I ask you to stand with Americans United for Life Action, on the merits of our belief that all human life is a sacred gift, endowed by our creator. This is NOT health care! Real health care protects life!

LIFE IS A GIFT!!
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She
hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always
there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see
the world, I will marry you.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages
came off, she was able to see everything, including her
boyfriend.
He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The
sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected
that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life
led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before
they were yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who
was always by their side in the most painful situations.
Life Is a Gift
Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't
speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone
who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went
too early to heaven.
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still around.

ABOUT THE WAY WE TREAT PEOPLE
about the way we treat people
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor
Gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
And had breezed through the questions until I read
The last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the
Cleaning woman several times. She was tall,
Dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
Blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if
The last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely, " said the professor. "In your careers,
You will meet many people. All are significant.. They
Deserve your attention and care, even if all you do
Is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her
Name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p..m., an older African American
Woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway
Trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had
Broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally
Unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man
Took her to safety, helped her get assistance and
Put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his
Address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a
Knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a
Giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A
Special note was attached.
It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway
The other night. The rain drenched not only my
Clothes, but also my spirits.. Then you came along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
Husband's' bedside just before he passed away.... God
Bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
Others."
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those
Who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,
A 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and
Sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in
Front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and
Studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the
Waitress was growing impatient.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.
The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put t he bill on
The table and walked away The boy finished the ice
Cream, paid the cashier and left.. When the waitress
Came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the
Table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,
Were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had
To have enough le ft to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Pat h.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a
Roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if
Anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the
King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by
And simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the
King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did
Anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of
Vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the
peasant la id down his burden and tried to move the
stone to the side of the road. After much pushing
and straining, he finally succeeded. After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed
a purse lying in the road where the boulder had
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note
from the King indicating that the gold was for the
person who removed the boulder from the roadway.. The
peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve
our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who
was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only
chance of recovery appeared to be a blood
transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had
miraculously survived the same disease and had
developed the antibodies needed to combat the
illness. The doctor explained the situation to her
little brother, and asked the little boy if he would
be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a
deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save
her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed
next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing
the color returning to her cheek. Then his face
grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a
trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the
doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his
sister all of his blood in order to save her.
Now you have choices.
Most importantly.... "Work like you
don't need the money, love like you've never been
hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching."
Thank you Dad for sending this.
So many of us forgets about treating other in a loving, caring way. As Christians we need to treat people like Christ did! He never turned anybody away & He isn't going to start now. Let Jesus Christ fill your hearts back with love & a caring for others.
Love
Rev. Londa

"Jobs Summit" Provides Little Detail
During the month of November, another 11,000 Americans lost their jobs, leaving our nation’s unemployment rate in double-digits. This news comes a day after President Obama hosted a “jobs summit” to brainstorm ideas to get the economy back on track. After spending trillions in taxpayer dollars, running up record deficits, and passing proposal after proposal that adds to our nation’s debt, the Administration is just now focusing on jobs. Americans have been asking for a focus on jobs the entire year. Instead of making jobs a priority, the Democrat leadership continues to spend likes there’s no tomorrow in hopes of a different outcome.
I am proud to be a member of the Economic Recovery Solutions Group, which has worked on ways to create jobs and kick-start the economy without spending trillions of taxpayer dollars. Some of our proposals include tearing down regulation and costly mandates that are a drag on innovation and keeping taxes low for small businesses. We should also freeze domestic spending at current levels and assist community and small banks through this recession. Although I have seen little details of what the Democrat majority’s new “jobs bill” will include, I am hopeful we can stimulate the economy without adding to the record debt.
President Obama Reveals Plan for Afghanistan
This week, after months of consideration, President Obama announced his plan to move forward in Afghanistan. Following one of the most dangerous years in Afghanistan, I am pleased President Obama chose to listen to the generals on the ground and send additional troops. Our men and women need the necessary resources in order to complete their mission and this is one step forward in that mission. I am hopeful the Obama Administration, along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates will keep their focus on securing the nation rather than on meeting arbitrary timelines for withdrawal. I will continue to meet with our military officials from Fort Riley, Fort Leavenworth, and Forbes Field in order to ensure they have all the tools they need.
Death Tax Narrowly Survives
Yesterday, House Democrats narrowly passed a bill, 225-200, that will keep the death tax at 45 percent. Instead of allowing the death tax to go down to zero percent in 2010, Democrats voted to keep taxes high in the midst of a recession. For years, the death tax has hit family farms the hardest and makes it more difficult for older generations to pass their livelihood off to future generations. I have and will continue to stand against higher taxes for Kansans, especially in the middle of a recession.
1st Infantry Division Headquarters Deployment at Fort Riley
Today I attended the 1st Infantry Division Headquarters Deployment Ceremony at Fort Riley. General Vincent Brooks and the brave soldiers in the 1st Infantry Division are headed to Basra, Iraq. It was an honor to be there today to see off the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to ensure the safety and security of our nation. Please keep our soldiers and their families in your thoughts and prayers. It was also an honor to welcome rear detachment commander, Brigadier General David Petersen, to Fort Riley where he will serve until General Brooks returns.

Al Gore, Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama go to heaven...
God addresses Al first.. ''Al, what do you believe in?''
Al replies: "Well, I believe that I won that election,
but that it was your will that I did not serve...
And I've come to understand that now.''
God thinks for a second and says:
"Very good. Come and sit at my left.''
God then addresses Bill. "Bill, what do you believe in?''
Bill replies: "I believe in forgiveness.
I've sinned, but I've never held a
grudge against my fellow man,
and I hope no grudges are held against me.''
God thinks for a second and says:
"You are forgiven, my son. Come and sit at my right.''
Then God addresses Barrack. "Barrack, what do you believe in?''
He replies: "I believe you're in my chair."

JESUS OF THE COVENANT
Jesus
of the New Covenant
I have written on Jesus being our MEDIATOR in the New Covenant. I will give you a couple more.
2 Corinthians 3:6
who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Hebrew 8:6
But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better Covenant, which was established on better promises.
Hebrew 7:22
And according to the law almost all things are purged with blood, without shedding of blood there is no remission.
He is the New Covenant -
Union between God & man. A reconciliation between the human & the divine. In Him His people found the Covenant & all it's Blessing. Jesus is the gift of God, that was given to us for the covering of our sins.
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His Grace.
He is the Messenger of the New Covenant -
Jesus is our guarantee of the covenant. His blood was shed for us. Jesus was the one who paid the price for us with His own life. That blood covered our sins so God would not remember them any more.
Hebrew 12:24
to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, & to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel
He is the Mediator of the New Covenant -
Jesus is the atoning blood. He established that by FAITH. Jesus walked in FAITH, so we enter by FAITH in His resurrection life. That He never stops interceding for us before God.
Christ points us toward the one truth in the New Covenant "Christ is all in all".
Hebrews 7:20, 22, 25
20) And inasmuch as He was not made a priest without an oath.
22) by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant,
25) Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them
He is the Surety & High Priest of the New Covenant -
From Strong's Exhaustive Concordance G1450:
engyos from G1722 & guion (limb); pledged (as if articulated by member), i.e. bondsman.
G1722 en a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state) & (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), i.e. a relation of rest, give self wholly
The Bible tells that His priesthood was confirmed by the oath of God. He became a lot better Covenant. And with Gods Oath, Jesus gives us security.
Hebrew 6: 16 - 18
16) For men indeed swear by the greater, & an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.
17) Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,
18) that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
God cannot lie!!! As the Hebrew 6 tells us we are heirs of the promise. It is an OATH, a BLOOD Covenant. God see Jesus not us. Jesus is at God thrown interceding for us.
Amen & Amen
of the New Covenant
I have written on Jesus being our MEDIATOR in the New Covenant. I will give you a couple more.
2 Corinthians 3:6
who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better Covenant, which was established on better promises.

He is the Surety & High Priest of the New Covenant -
From Strong's Exhaustive Concordance G1450:
engyos from G1722 & guion (limb); pledged (as if articulated by member), i.e. bondsman.
G1722 en a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state) & (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), i.e. a relation of rest, give self wholly
The Bible tells that His priesthood was confirmed by the oath of God. He became a lot better Covenant. And with Gods Oath, Jesus gives us security.
Hebrew 6: 16 - 18
16) For men indeed swear by the greater, & an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.
17) Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,
18) that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
God cannot lie!!! As the Hebrew 6 tells us we are heirs of the promise. It is an OATH, a BLOOD Covenant. God see Jesus not us. Jesus is at God thrown interceding for us.
Amen & Amen

WWII Battleship Sailor
Fw: WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !]
This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii
for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes
all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body,
he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now.
He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert..
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can't figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
" We're no longer a Christian nation"
" America is arrogant" - (Your wife even
announced to the world,"America is mean-
spirited. " Please tell her to try preaching
that nonsense to 23 generations of our
war dead buried all over the globe who
died for no other reason than to free a
whole lot of strangers from tyranny and
hopelessness.)
I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House..
After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."
Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.
I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue.. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
When a 95 year old hero of the "the Greatest Generation"
stands up and speaks out like this, I think we owe it
to him to send his words to as many Americans as
we can. Please pass it on.

PELOSI'S JET
Pelosi's Jet
This Jet is the USAF C-32, Boeing 757, that MADAME PELOSI uses.
And the Democrats want to talk about Sarah's dress??? Conservatives! Are you out there?
Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small jet USAF C-20B, Gulfstream III, that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200-seat USAF C-32, Boeing 757 jet that could get her back to California without stopping!
Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone that Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American tax payers, thousands of gallons of fuel every week. Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California, cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000, one way! As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday night.' Cost to us another $60,000.
Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours. I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.
Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires. These people are nuts.
If you think this is outrageous, forward it to all those on your email list! Keep in mind the figures above do NOT include cost of plane or crew, just fuel!
One wonders what her total package cost us
SORRY THE PICTURE DIDN'T TRANSFER OVER.
THANK YOU DAD FOR SENDING THIS

INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER
INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER, NOV. 28, 2009, EXCERPT:
The following information may be the most important we have ever published.
One of our Intel sources, highly placed in banking circles, tells us that on 1/1/10 all banks that have received TARP funds have been informed by the Federal Reserve that they must further restrict any commercial lending. Loans have to be 75% collateralized, 50% of which has to be in cash, which is a compensating balance.
The Fed has to do one of two things: They either have to pull $1.5 trillion out of the system by June, which would collapse the economy, or face hyperinflation. This is why the Fed has instructed banks to inform them when and how much of the TARP funds they can return. At best they can expect $300 to $400 billion plus the $200 billion the Fed already has in hand.
We believe the Fed will opt for letting the system run into hyperinflation. All signs tell us they cannot risk allowing the undertow of deflation to take over the economy. The system cannot stand such a withdrawal of funds. They also must depend on assistance from Congress in supplying a second stimulus plan. That would probably be $400 to $800 billion. A lack of such funding would send the economy and the stock market into a tailspin. Even with such funding the economy cannot expect any growth to speak of and at best a sideways movement for perhaps a year.
We have been told that the FDIC not only is $8.2 billion in the hole, but they have secretly borrowed an additional $80 billion from the Treasury. We have also been told that the FDIC is lying about the banks in trouble. The number in eminent danger are not 552, but a massive 2,035. The cost of bailing these banks out would be $800 billion to $1 trillion. That means 2,500 could be closed in 2010. Now get this, the FDIC is going to be collapsed before the end of 2010, which means no more deposit insurance. This follows the 9/18/09 end of government guarantees on money market funds. Both will force deposits into US government bonds and agency bonds in an attempt to save the system.
This will strip small and medium-sized banks and force them into shutting down or being absorbed. This means you have to get your money out of banks, especially CDs. We repeat get your cash values out of life insurance policies and annuities. They are invested 80% in stocks and 20% in bonds. Keep only enough money in banks for three months of operating expenses, six months for businesses.
Major and semi-major banks are being told to obtain secure storage for new currency-dollars. They expect official devaluation by the end of the year.
We do not know what the exchange rate will be, but as we have stated previously we expect three old dollars to be traded for one new dollar. The alternative is gold and silver coins and shares. For those with substantial sums that do not want to be in gold and silver related assets completely you can use Canadian and Swiss Treasuries. If you need brokers for these investments we can supply them.
The Fed also expects a meltdown in the bond market, especially in municipals. Public services will be cut drastically leading to increased crime and social problems, not to mention the psychological trauma that our country will experience. Already 50% of homes in hard hit urban areas are under water, nationwide more than 25%. That means you have to be out of bonds as well, especially municipals.
As you can see, the Illuminist program is going to come quicker than we anticipated. That in part is because they have had to expedite their program, due to exposure in the IF, other publications and especially via talk ratio and the Internet. There is no doubt we have the elitists on the run.
We are reaching the masses. On TalkStreamLive.com we were on the Rumor Mill this past week and out of 50 talk radio programs we were 5th behind, Rush, Hannity, Dr. Laura and we were tied with Beck. On the Sovereign Economist on Wednesday night we were 5th behind Beck and Savage and ahead of Hannity. Both these programs are not well known and the Sovereign Economist is only about a month old. It shows you what you can do if you work hard enough at it.
The latest favorable events we are told are the seeds of recovery. The green-shoots of spring are to be harvested before winter sets in. We are skeptical of the strength and duration of such a recovery.
The underlying problems are still not being addressed. The US government and the Fed cannot bail out banking, Wall Street, insurance and government indefinitely via monetization. Impaired corporations, no matter what their size, have to be allowed to fail. Stimulus cannot be used indefinitely. Both have to be reigned in, because the longer this charade continues the worse the final outcome is going to be. As we predicted six year’s ago, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and FHA are the wards of American taxpayers, as is AIG. All their financial conditions worsen every day. They have again been insuring subprime mortgages by the thousands and when they begin to reset next year, we will be back to 60% failure rates. Even government admits already they’ll see 20% failure rates. This, so that housing inventory can be cut from 11-1/2-months inventory to 7-months, again in order to bail out the lenders at the expense of taxpayers. Government and the Fed have no exit plans for these sinking ships, particularly Fannie, Freddie, Ginnie and FHA, never mind their meddling in the economy guaranteeing everything is sight. Benito Mussolini would be very proud of what they have done.
Then we have those on Wall Street, banking and corporate America who believe they are doing God’s work by looting the American public making outrageous profits by in part using taxpayer funds, and allotting themselves disgraceful bonuses as unemployment hovers at 22.2%. Haven’t these people heard of the French Revolution? Their arrogance has no bounds. The credit crisis hasn’t ended; the Fed has extended it by throwing money at problems. We have a mortgage market that is worse than it was a year ago, only kept from sinking by a tax credit 3% down. As a result now we have more than $1 trillion of new mortgage failures on the way.
Our monetary base has more than doubled. Interest rates will probably stay where they are for 18 months or more and we even have a dollar carry trade. The 2009 fiscal budget deficit was $1.5 trillion and 2010 will be worse. Government is not cutting expenses. They are increasing expenses.
In addition making matters worse corruption is flourishing via the incestuous revolving door between Wall Street, the Treasury, in a multiplicity of other appointments and with the Fed. Is it any wonder 75% of Americans want the Fed audited and investigated. That said, the present set of circumstances cannot be allowed to go on indefinitely. We cannot keep insurance, Wall Street and banking on life support forever. Not when we finance two occupations and an ongoing war, never mind our unfunded liabilities of Medicare, Social Security, etc. most all of these problems are being financed by debt to be paid by our great, great grandchildren. We just created $12.7 trillion for bailouts and the Inspector General tells us we are presently on the hook for $23.7 trillion. What happens if all the recipients need another $20 trillion?
The situation is still dire and the solution is temporary and unworkable and Washington and New York are well aware of this. The game will play out over the next few years. In the meantime the dollar will move lower and inflation, gold and silver higher.
Economics is not complex; it is very simple. Professors and economists would like to have you believe it is complicated when in fact they make it opaque, so you cannot understand it. The same is true with banking. In normal times through the century’s bankers using the fractional banking system usually lent 8 times their assets, or deposits. It was only until recently that the privately owned Federal Reserve told banks within the system to lend 40 times assets or more in order to accommodate the system.
All this is to cover to confuse and hide the truth of fractional banking. Bankers’ indebt borrowers with money they made up out of thin air. Debt is enslavement by the bankers upon the people by buying almost everyone off. In the final analysis banking is a fraud unless money is interest free. The Fed, and all the other banks are a fraud.
