Muslins, Alpine Brooklyn, Options Follow-up

     Regarding my prior post, I take nothing back, however on Face book someone said, they pray for five minutes, let it go. Well that;s fine if that was all that it was about, but it's also about taking advantage of your religion and the fact that many are afraid of radical Muslims, so no one does anything about them blocking     a sidewalk so no one can pass. What will happen if they want to pray in front of your place of worship? What will happen when your child goes to school with a bible and not allowed to have it but a child of Muslim faith can not only bring the Koran, but stop to pray on his prayer mat? AMERICA, In the name of all that's Holy to us, GOD, JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT, Stand up, Stand out and hand over your HEART SHOW who we ARE, a UNITED STATES of AMERICA !
    Lutherans, Jews, Catholics, Pentecostals, Baptists, Menonites, Pray like you nver prayed before, because thats all you may have left!

What Station is Jesus On ?

What Station is Jesus On?

As I sat and watched TV

I saw a figure, familiar to me

But then I switched from that  station

And listened to a conversation

As I passed by the image

I noticed Jesus standing there

But again I changed the station

Thinking without a care

Once again I went back to see

 What I thought I saw

He was waiting again for me

Knowing I’d open the door

It happened to be a station

And sometimes it was a tree

But the most important thing I knew

 He is there for me.

Jesus can be anywhere

And it seems He really is

So never turn your back on Him

 But change your station to His.

Jesus, First Vegetarian? Whole foods, no preservatives

       I don't know what we really know about how long people lived back then, but Christians believe in The Bible and certainly many lived to be well over a hundred and even two hundred.
    So food couldn't have had preservatives in them. What about milk. How was it taken, if at all? Wine was a beverage used, but probably, water was the regular. They ate a lot of fish and beans. So do we model after Jesus, after all He rose again. Now that's good health.

     Just a note about Easter. I listened to the 700 club today and Pat Robertson explained the myth of Easter having to do with stuff I can't even remember but eons ago some clan of people believed in bunnies having to do with long health relating to people and Spring. I wish I could be more clear about this. Anyway through the years two lands fought over Spring, health and bunnies, and Pat Robertson honestly said, I don't know how they came about with the word Easter, but this bunny thing and the fact that Jesus died and rose again, all happened close to the same time as in Spring,  not years.
    Something to think about.
P.S. What if you don't believe in Jesus? Eat well anyway. Life is short.
  

Hey Parents, Get Ready, Christmas? Why?

      Christmas is for the celebration of the Birth of Jesus if you believe in Him, and for families. If not then why are people buying so many gifts for people who don't appreciate it, and all they think about is me, me , me.
       Do you give back during the year, or just take any time you can? What is good enough for some isn't for others. Some are happy to have a home to live in, rent to pay, groceries to buy, clothes to wear and some are never satisfied, no matter how much you give and give and give. Any time now the stores and ads on TV will be sending those endless greedy messages to children to put parents payroll checks in their hands instead of keeping it in the family.

      So do yourself  a favor, make sure you spend what you think you're going to on Christmas for those who deeply need it like, St. Judes, Cancer research, MDA, and many more. I know this all sounds so cliche, but Christmas is for Jesus and Church and families. Spend it with those you love and who love you, even with those you might just care about.
   Electronics? No way!!!

Who Is Your American Idol ? Money, Jesus, Politics, Fame

       Yes I watch American Idol, but I do jump around a lot as much of it lately I can't stand, as in the screaming. Why do singers feel as if they have to scream when they sing? Oh well and the audience...they are all waving their hands back and forth in the air, no matter what tempo the music is. Talk about annoying. So I check out other channels.
       Then I see a preacher whose name I now forget. He is very large in size and has a son who preaches too. Of course that's the thing with TV evangelists. I have a  hard time listening to a preacher who also shouts at people as if their deaf. Maybe because they/we don't listen, but then again neither does he. He talks about discipline a lot. He is about two hundred pounds overweight!
      I am partial to Charles Stanley. He is a teacher preacher, soft spoken and gets the point across without screaming and pounding us to death with his fist on a lectern.
      Politicians. Enough said. I wish. Who do you trust? One man, Santorum talks God a lot. Does he mean it? Does that make him better? One, Romney is a Mormon. Many said being a Mormon is part of a cult but what do Mormons say about Christians. Do you know they call Christians, "savvies"? Then we have the little guy which I feel very certain why he isn't getting the vote. We live in a vain society. Gotta be good looking and tall to get elected. Period. I gotta tell ya when I saw his name on a bumper sticker, Vote for Ron Paul, on a lady's car who I didn't care, for I was sure he had to be, not such a  good guy.Then I listened to him talk. For a little guy his words are as deep and sincere as the ocean.
     I thought Ron Paul was part of some weird movement as this lady is weird, but then again so am I and who am I to talk:)? Oh yeah we also have Newt with NEW WIVES-Yes I am against him for that reason. I'm not against a man being elected because he's rich. Look how many Kennedy's got into office. People loved them and they were whore men, lived rich lives, didn't talk about it, but sure lived it in the public eye, even in the eyes of their wives.
     So it will come down to Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, I hope. We need a new president. Maybe use Jesus as an example. Did Rick or Mitt volunteer as they were climbing the ladder, where and how. Did they help people What were their donations. Santorum said he donates less because he has a sick child. True and now says he will donate more-but Rick, she is still sick! He should defend what he wants to donate. Mitt, I just don't know about you except when I hear you on late night talk shows you are a better speaker. Too bad we couldn't hear these guys at home.  Where is the real man? Toilet paper anyone?

Letting it all out, 6lbs in 7 Days

   Oh such good news. I was weighed today as is usual at the doctors office. Doing a lot of check-ups. I am over-due and over weight. So I made sure to use the terlit before weighing in, washed up, came out and anxiously got on the scale. The nurse smiled, and she is  a real nurse who has been though and survived cancer and works at this doctors office. Many times when we meet a person like she is, we wonder what right do we have to complain, but we do.
   I said, well? She smiled again, said you lost six pounds. The front desk heard me as I made a fist and air hit her arm saying, freakin kool a mundo! They asked me what was going on, now knowing I was trying and I explained the Forks over Knives movie. Thanks again and again Marty and Mike. Mike put the movie on while we were visiting. Marty told me about it the day before and it was just plain information and common sense. Even my blood pressure was down. I said uh, Thank Ya Jesus!

Forget Jesus? M. Cycrus tweets-I say forget Miley

            I know, why do I care? Because kids look up to her, follow her, buy what she may call music, see her what she calls movies, because she is what they call a good actor(it's actually actress). I find none of that to be true, but then I'm not a kid.
   Too many music and child actors and actresses are admired by children and we need to watch closely who they watch closely. Turn the channel, don't see that movie, choose their clothes, give allowance if you can afford and if they earn it. Make them save 75% of it. Teach character and you can't go wrong.
   Who is she to say Forget Jesus? Who is she to tell your children something like Forget Jesus. I say Forget Miley. In the shape of the world today, do you want to take a chance and forget Jesus? Would Jesus forget her.. uh,what's her name?

What is this Thing Called Happiness?

       Merry Christmas Everyone! When you hear that how do you feel? What do you think? Do you just smile and say the same to you but inside feel like you just wish people would shut-up and go away?
        We don't ever know what's happening with our neighbors, friends and even family much less the strangers who greet us ringing bells or serve us at Restaurants and eve the clerks behind a counter. They happily ask, May I help you? But inside are thinking, just go away, and what's so good about holidays. We're not even supposed to say Merry Christmas anymore in many places.
        But how do we contain that feeling of real happiness or should we? No I don't think we should. Be as real and as honest as you can. But be as sensitive as your inner self tells you to be. You might see a dad shopping and you can just tell he has very little, may not be working and maybe his wife is sick or has passed away. So many possibilities, so tread gently into a life.
        It's hard not to be overjoyed when things in your own life are so perfect. but what about the others? Sure many make their lives they way they are and are happy in their own misery. Heck, they may not even be miserable. It's all relative. Then again some are miserable through illness, poverty, loneliness, job loss and what I think is worse than anything at all, a sick and dying child. Instead of expecting, let's try respecting. Just respect a person's life the way it is right now.  Don't look down on them because of how they dress, wear their hair or the car they own, or the obvious poverty in how their kids are dressed, no haircuts, shabby shoes and more. Just respect they are doing the best they can. Don't feel sorry for them, but ask them if they can help you. Let them know how much or how you can pay, but make sure to let them know also, you need the help.
      A first reaction may very well be even if they don't say it-you're just feeling sorry for me. They retreat knowing, knowing you think you're better and this takes care of your conscience. If you really feel like that, take a hike. No one needs pity, they need help. Most do want to work for it, so have Merry Christmas, be joyful, healthy, happy, silly and a little kid-like, and most of all remember how good you have it if you do. This is the season for giving-from your heart, not just your wallet. Jesus said so!

How to buy AMERICAN Only & Where

       This morning I received a reminder from a crafter that she is buying from another crafter for gift giving. That is American Shopping . You can't do better that that. Sure kids want toys but who pays? America is paying every day we shop at that big W store. Imagine if we could control spending and just buy what we need. Go to local markets=healthier eating, supports the farmer as well as people who usually live locally, ends up saving gas, family time and makes happier people.
      I love music and would love a Susan Boyle CD, but first I want to know the whole process of making that CD and where it comes from.
      Just think and do what you can to SAVE AMERICA this holiday season, better yet, if you believe in the Bible, Christianity, maybe celebrate the business side less and the reason more.
       Another way to SAVE AMERICA is write letters, buy recycled, reuse and redecorate, paint a room for someone, help a neighbor, trim trees, ask, ask a neighbor, friend or relative (if you're still speaking) what you can do to help. Cook a dinner that will last a few days or at least for seconds. Babysit to give someone a day off, a night out or shop for someone. Cut coupons and give away. Wash and polish a car for an elderly person-not me:) SAVE AMERICA by helping the AMERICAN neighbor, small business owner, church group/mission and don't accept money. Give time if you can. There are so many AMERICAN NEEDS, so step out and step up, and support the AMERICAN NEIGHBOR, THE AMERICAN BUSINESS OWNER, THE AMERICAN CRAFTER and keep that support right here in our AMERICA this year!
