Well did ya all hear about the 15 year old who smashed to death a momma cat with chunks of road debris, over and over he smashed the heavy rocks into her fragile helpless body. The momma cat did nothing wrong, did nothing to deserve this sad, anguish death, leaving her very young needy kittens orphans. Why did he do it? That is not even a good question, a proper question, for would there be an acceptable answer? Absolutely no! There is no excuse for such savage cruelty. Here comes another monster on the loose- more animal killings- then when he gets bored with that he'll move on to humans- maybe someone's baby, their toddler....it grows with him as he grows- and then we have a full fledged serial killer who has no concience, no fear, no respect for life- ANY LIFE. they want to " help him", mend his self esteem, fix his emotional anger" how? well they came up with a real "weiner of a brain storm " - make him work in an animal shelter so he will learn to love and appreciate animals! Oh like that's gonna work !  Are these people MORONS? good people can not fix broken down evil people. Only Jesus can do that and only when the evil person personally wants it and asks Jesus to forgive him...." I am sure these people have good intentions and  want to help this monster-teen, so he doesn't become a serial killer, but I don't believe this poor momma cat is his 1st victim...I once read that a child by age 5 is pretty much developed emotionally ,mentally , and  their personality . If this is true, this animal slayer is well past that point and beyond man's help - no matter how good their intentions are. This  hateful teen has some real dangerous issues deep down- Jesus is this kids only hope, and the only hope of the lives that he will come into contact with. Should he be " mending his ways & paying his dept" by working with other helpless animals in cages in a shelter- for mercy's sake -NO-get him away from animals and small children and keep him away from them. In 3 years he will be 18, what is the legal age to buy a gun? He can go into the U S Armed forces and learn other ways to kill...this kid needs help no doubt about it- but the right kind of help and the right environment- an animal shelter is NOT the right help or environment to " fix" this teen who is well on his way of rising to become another monster -slayer of lives, animal or human! This is where we need tough laws with true help , compassion, guidence and God. There is no other way to fix the evil that is so taken over the hearts & souls of mankind- only God their creator has the healing powers and the " fix" that mankind  so desperatly needs. Politicians, Priests,Schools, physcians, child Developement Centers, prisons, Counselors are all helpless to change the evil in this teen or others like him- if they could - do you think our prisons would be so overflowing as they are? Our ways and systems fall very very short- they fail. we are helpless to changing evil people into good people. So please don't put this rising monster to work with animals and put these precious animals in harms way! that would be just STUPID!!!

well I didn't write this ...but I believe in it. I love animals and do all I can to help them to have a better life here with us on this planet.  I write many letters to my Congresswoman, and my Senator on the behalf of animlas to end their abuses by passing laws to protect them. So, all you who have pets, or visit a zoo, or see your neighbors pet or live stock being neglected, or abused, or in need of shade, a drink of water, or medical help, do a kind act on their behalf, help them...perhaps reading this " animal plea" will give you quidence to offer your assistance and care. Animals are truly a gift from our Creator to be companions and friends to us- they were never created to be our food and menu items ( Genensis 1:29-30). So open up your heart and read and keep this animal plea in your concience and hearts, thank you.

Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and that
they depend on you to make their life a quality life!

The Hunter...cold,  heartless. seeking its own selfish desires. To snuff out the breath of God in whatever life form it can ravage and prey upon. Who is this Hunter you are probably wondering... it is also known as "death". It something we all at one time will be confronted with, whether human , animal, plant life.   Ecclesiastes 3: 19   "  For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.       We all fear it, even the animals when they sense it , they flee from it, they fear it as we do. Why? Because it is unnatural to die, we were never created to go through death. Genesis chapters 1, 2,& 3 tell the sad truth of how this came to be. It is clear it was not part of the creation plan. Just look how we try to " stop " death from taking us. We have 24/7 emergency rooms full of doctors and nurses to stop us from dieing, even so for animals...I work at a Veterinary Hospital, we even try to save them from being taken by this cold -heartless breath snatcher. We learn CPR, we try eating healthier, we excersice to keep fit and healthy, we explore new methods of healings and surgeries ....all to post pone death. Yet the Hunter of souls comes ...sometimes without warning, many times without mercy, snatching the very Breath of the Creator from those God created. Animals too have the breath of God even as we do, the only difference is we are made in God's image, the animals are not, but He created them and gave them life as He did you and me. By now you may be wondering why am I writing this. I hate death, its cold hand feels out the warm body so full of life and snuffs out the sweet life once filling that body, whether human or animal. We all want to live and stay alive- even the creatures who share this world and life with us. Today three different families came to the Veterinary Hospital, each one with their beloved pet being gripped by this callouse Hunter of souls. The first family so sorrowfully weeping knowing what was to come and can not do more to stop death from taking their beloved family member, I too began to weep for them and with them. The second family came in -an emergency- their beloved pet was suddenly having convolsions, the doctors could not save her, her name was Sugar, as I watched the couple , the husband took his wife in his arms to console her, only to break down and weep with her-his big shoulders heaving with the grip of sorrow and loss, I also got teary eyed- I know their pain,but as I watched them -I saw love- Sugar was loved- how comforting to me that was- LOVE. the third couple came in with a dieing Rottweiler- my kind of dog- I once had four of my own- my heart broke. she was very sick , how my heart ached- for the suffering Rottie, the young couple, and for  my  own loss - Montana died and left me last November 1 2007- I still grieve - missing them all .  the young couple had waited to long- not realizing they jeaporized her chances. Death, the Hunter, respects no one.       Yet  God is merciful.   The Hunter has companions- cold, heartless, ruthless humans- those who take life that isn't theirs to take, those who show no mercy to the weaker ones, animals included here. Some one without a heart or conscience set aside on a raod a box of new puppies and just left them their to suffer and die! Left them without a concern or care- what a SOB, a monster, how could you? you cheap sob- if you don't want puppies , 1) have your adult dog spayed or nuetered, 2) don't have a pet, 3) have some backbone you coward and take responsiabilty for the lives you helped getting here! those puppies had no chance- all they wanted was their mommie- and you put them in harms way with out a care or a backward glance! Well God sent  them a saviour- someone found them and took them to a shelter- the one thing you could have done likewise you lazy good for nothing coward! I wonder , when the Hunter comes seeking you will you find mercy or a snarling death grip?  He that shows mercy begets mercy, he that shows compassion begets compassion, Psalm 24:1, and Psalm 50:10-11 just to mention these 2  - those puppies belong to God - entrusted to you for their safety and well being- you denied them that- and God will require of you what kind of steward you were for His puppies. You are RESPONSIBLE whether you want to be or not. One cannot just put life in a box, put it on a road side and wash their hands of it and just walk away - kind a like what Pilot tried to do when He ordered the death by crucifixion of God our Saviour Jesus the Christ- he was responsiable.- washing his hands with water, or brushing the dust off your hands does not wash away your responsibility of the act you helped bring into happening. life - all life is a gift from God- and should be cherished , and loved.  How many times over and over do we hear stories how a pet, an animal saved someone's life- why? what would make an animal put its own life at risk to save a person? her babies? her companion? Something we all need to think about.  And look at life through the eyes and heart of  God our creator. respect life , cherish it, for death is unnatural to all of us , we all fear it- try to escape it- have a heart of compassion on all God's creatures after all none of us are promised tomorrow.

this came to me via e-mail. I thought it so " tasefully" said that I wanted to pass it on. It is absolutely a grand way to reveal God's truths. hope you get a  load of joy from it as I did. God has all the answers.

 

TASTE MY JESUS

At the University of Chicago Divinity School each year they have what is called 'Baptist Day.'  On this day each one is to bring a lunch to be eaten outdoors in a grassy picnic area.  Every 'Baptist Day' the school would invite one of the greatest minds to lecture in the theological education center. 

One year they invited Dr. Paul Tillich.  Dr.Tillich spoke for two and one-half hours proving that the resurrection of Jesus was false.  He quoted scholar after scholar and book after book.  He concluded that since there was no such thing as the historical resurrection the religious tradition of the church was   groundless, emotional mumbo-jumbo, because it was based on a relationship with a risen Jesus, who, in fact never rose from the dead in any literal sense.

 He then asked if there were any questions. After about 30 seconds, an old, dark skinned preacher with a head of short-cropped, woolly white hair stood up in the back of the auditorium.  'Docta Tillich, I got one question,' he said as all eyes turned toward him.  He reached into his sack lunch and pulled out an apple and began eating it.  'Docta Tillich.. CRUNCH, MUNCH 'My question is a simple question,... CRUNCH, MUNCH... 'Now, I ain't never read them books you read..CRUNCH, MUNCH..' and I can't recite the Scriptures in the original Greek...CRUNCH, MUNCH ...' I don't know nothin' about Niebuhr and Heidegger... CRUNCH, MUNCH... He finished the apple. 'All I wanna know is: This apple I just ate, . . . . . . was it bitter or sweet?

 Dr Tillich paused for a moment and answered in exemplary scholarly fashion: 'I cannot possibly answer that question, for I haven't tasted your apple.' The white-haired preacher dropped the core of his apple into his crumpled paper bag, looked up at Dr. Tillich and said calmly,  'Neither have you tasted my Jesus.'

                        
 The 1,000 plus in attendance could not contain themselves.  The auditorium erupted with applause and cheers.  Dr. Tillich thanked his audience and promptly left the platform.

 Have you tasted Jesus?  Please pass this on Saints! Jesus has risen... and He's coming back one day... Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.  If you have, rejoice in the hope of the resurrection that your faith in Him brings.  Psalm 34:8

well am I ? Are you?

first read Saint Lukes gospel chapter 10: 25 - 37.

What is the value of life? It seems since the very selfish woman who likes to have sex but not the " produce" of sex does not think a breathing living wee babe is valuable- I am referring to the woman who started  the death penalties against unborn babes, you all know : Wade vs Roe. It seems since she " opened " the doors to legalized murder, that murder has increased to such horrendous degrees. In the Holy Word of God , when it talks about a woman being " pregnant" it doesn't say  a " fetus", a " groweth" it says " with child"... isn't that the most beautiful way to say another human being?....life ...awesome. Yet certain " humans" can legalize a death penalty without any conviction of the murder they allow.  ...and how about others? mmmm ... how about the young black man that was  doused with gasoline and set on fire? No life should suffer in such cruel and horrific way....did you witness it? Are you this brothers keeper or are you in league with his murder? snitch? what is a snitch ? Look it up in the dictionary- interesting info. Is this life worth nothing? What if it were your brother? sister? mother? dad?  God requires an honest witness. Why would anyone say nothing to see a cruel act of murder? Babies murdered in abortion is ever so cruel , and so is setting another life on fire. shooting, stabbing, beating with a baseball bat, poison> murder is wrong!  I am sick of people getting away with cruel, horrific , satanic murder. This ungodly woman who started this ugly legalized murder of unborn human babes has brought to fruit the lessened value of life.

Be your brothers keeper- stop murder- if you see something - be brave and report it. If you don't want a babe- don't have sex. so simple.

 This is one way God does His marvelous work- God also has a great sence of Humor. just a little story here to provide a small glimps of the fact God  is Jehovah-Jirah.

 

Every morning, the little old lady stepped onto her front porch, raised her arms to the sky, and shouted, "Praise the Lord!”  One day, an atheist moved into the house next door and soon became irritated with the little old lady's morning ritual.  Every morning he would step onto his front porch after her and yell, "There is no Lord!”  Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way until one winter morning, the little old lady stepped onto her front porch and shouted, "Praise the Lord! I have no food and I am starving. Please provide for me, Lord!”  When she stepped onto her porch the next day, there sat two huge bags of groceries. "Praise the Lord!" she cried out. "God has provided!" The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges and shouted, "Ha! See? There is no God. I provided those groceries!” The little old lady threw her arms into the air and shouted, "Praise the Lord!  He has provided me with groceries and made the devil pay for them!”  God may not always provide in the way we might have chosen, but He always provides.  He is our source. 

 Praise His Wonderful Name. Selah

Are there unicorns in the Bible?

Some people claim the Bible is a book of fairy tales because it mentions unicorns. However, the biblical unicorn was a real animal, not an imaginary creature. The Bible refers to the unicorn in the context of familiar animals, such as peacocks, lambs, lions, bullocks, goats, donkeys, horses, dogs, eagles, and calves (Job 39:9–12, KJV.) In Job 38–41, God reminded Job of the characteristics of a variety of impressive animals He had created, showing Job that God was far above man in power and strength.

Job had to be familiar with the animals on God’s list for the illustration to be effective. God points out in Job 39:9–12 that the unicorn, “whose strength is great,” is useless for agricultural work, refusing to serve man or “harrow (plow) the valley.” This visual aid gave Job a glimpse of God’s greatness. An imaginary fantasy animal would have defeated the purpose of God’s illustration.

Modern readers have trouble with the Bible’s unicorns because we forget that a single-horned feature is not uncommon on God’s menu for animal design. (Consider the rhinoceros and narwhal.) The Bible describes unicorns skipping like calves (Psalm 29:6), traveling like bullocks, and bleeding when they die (Isaiah 34:7). The presence of a very strong horn on this powerful, independent-minded creature is intended to make readers think of strength.

The absence of a unicorn in the modern world should not cause us to doubt its past existence. (Think of the dodo bird. It does not exist today, but we do not doubt that it existed in the past.). Eighteenth century reports from southern Africa described rock drawings and eyewitness accounts of fierce, single-horned, equine-like animals. One such report describes “a single horn, directly in front, about as long as one’s arm, and at the base about as thick . . . . [It] had a sharp point; it was not attached to the bone of the forehead, but fixed only in the skin.”

The elasmotherium, an extinct giant rhinoceros, provides another possibility for the unicorn’s identity. The elasmotherium’s 33-inch-long skull has a huge bony protuberance on the frontal bone consistent with the support structure for a massive horn.4 In fact, archaeologist Austen Henry Layard, in his 1849 book Nineveh and Its Remains, sketched a single-horned creature from an obelisk in company with two-horned bovine animals; he identified the single-horned animal as an Indian rhinoceros.5 The biblical unicorn could have been the elasmotherium.6

Assyrian archaeology provides one other possible solution to the unicorn identity crisis. The biblical unicorn could have been an aurochs (a kind of wild ox known to the Assyrians as rimu).7 The aurochs’s horns were very symmetrical and often appeared as one in profile, as can be seen on Ashurnasirpal II’s palace relief and Esarhaddon’s stone prism.8 Fighting rimu was a popular sport for Assyrian kings. On a broken obelisk, for instance, Tiglath-Pileser I boasted of slaying them in the Lebanon mountains.9

Extinct since about 1627, aurochs, Bos primigenius, were huge bovine creatures.10 Julius Caesar described them in his Gallic Wars as:

“a little below the elephant in size, and of the appearance, color, and shape of a bull. Their strength and speed are extraordinary; they spare neither man nor wild beast which they have espied . . . . Not even when taken very young can they be rendered familiar to men and tamed. The size, shape, and appearance of their horns differ much from the horns of our oxen. These they anxiously seek after, and bind at the tips with silver, and use as cups at their most sumptuous entertainments.”11

The aurochs’ highly prized horns would have been a symbol of great strength to the ancient Bible reader.

One scholarly urge to identify the biblical unicorn with the Assyrian aurochs springs from a similarity between the Assyrian word rimu and the Hebrew word re’em. We must be very careful when dealing with anglicized transliterated words from languages that do not share the English alphabet and phonetic structure.12 However, similar words in Ugaritic and Akkadian (other languages of the ancient Middle East) as well as Aramaic mean “wild bull” or “buffalo,” and an Arabic cognate means “white antelope.”

However, the linguistics of the text cannot conclusively prove how many horns the biblical unicorn had. While modern translations typically translate re’em as “wild ox,” the King James Version (1611), Luther’s German Bible (1534), the Septuagint, and the Latin Vulgate translated this Hebrew word with words meaning “one-horned animal.”13

The importance of the biblical unicorn is not so much its specific identity—much as we would like to know—but its reality. The Bible is clearly describing a real animal. The unicorn mentioned in the Bible was a powerful animal possessing one or two strong horns—not the fantasy animal that has been popularized in movies and books. Whatever it was, it is now likely extinct like many other animals. To think of the biblical unicorn as a fantasy animal is to demean God’s Word, which is true in every detail.

Footnotes In addition to Job 39:9–10, the unicorn is mentioned in Numbers 23:22, 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17; Psalm 22:21, 29:6, 92:10; Isaiah 34:7

well it's me....wow its been a long while since I wrote a blog. been busy. a bunch of us have gotten great friendships going and so been  e-mailing with them. then there has been some " difficulties' and job hunting.... which brings me to writing this blog.

Things have gotten , uncomfortable at my place of employement- & very stressful, and harassing....so I began to look and pray for something better.....I realize it wouldn't be an easy transition, but one that had to be made. so I signed up with Monster.com, and applied for various jobs in my field of experience .  This was an on going situation for months. So far nothing right came along. I also went to several places close to home  in person to apply for jobs in my field.  one place gave me an interview, would be great to get it- 40 hours a week- but they just wouldn't pay what I needed. Face it - who can support themslves on $7.00 an hour? I know I can't on a single income- later down the road this same employer had a part time position open- so I applied again- thinking I could work both jobs. Again they gave me an interview- ....again they didn't want to pay me what I was worth ( not being arrogant here- just realistic) . by now it was April ...things at work have not improoved...in fact they have gotten worse. it is a must to leave...although this was not my original plan when  I took this job many years earlier. I am disappointed and  dismayed at the turn of events in my employement. In earnestness I turn to the One who knows me best, who knows the things I am undergoing here at work, and why... He alone can move the mountain , or give me the grace I need if I am to stay.  So on Sunday May 25th I was leaving work -I had worked  my shift plus worked over in another department ( stinky, foul and  dirty- for 3 hrs plus. When I got in my car , started to drive on home I prayed this simple prayer to my Lord God-

"So I got into my car, tired, dirty, smelly, and over wrought, and I prayed to my Lord saying " Lord, I need to get out of here. I hate this job anymore.please help me find a better job that pays well. Lord I don't know what I want or what to look for, all I know is that I am sick of the  ( human) poop , urine and puke. Even you find it offensive. Please find me a job." Thank you Lord". 

and I reached home. got in the house and took care of the critters, my bath , ate supper, watched a little tv- and went to bed. The next 3 days I would be off-  hallalujah!  Monday morning . i got up feeling quite good and refreshed. Did my morning stuff, then  got to my pc to read emails-..... there was only about 2 or 3- the one that caught my eye was.... yes ...Monster.com. i thought to myself- oh self, might as well do that one first...so I did- there was only one job listed....one heaven sent job!  I couldn't believe what I was looking at .... I said to God- " oh Jesus, when you do something - you do it right- only you could have thought of this and sent it to me- You are truly awesome". If you read  my bio- and check out my pet pics- & blogs- you will get a clear pic that I love animals- well this job opening was of all things  " in my field of work -housekeeping- in a Vetinarian Animal Hospital"! Now does my God know me or what!  I was so in awe of Him all I could do is sit and laugh as I applied on-line. then the Lord spoke to my heart and said you need to go apply in person, as it was memorial day , I would go do that on Tuesday at 9am. I called after that 3 times to the H.R manager and left 3 messages. All the while continually praying and asking friends to pray also. I asked the Lord to turn this H.R. person to look my resume' over, to open doors no man could shut, and to shut doors no man could open. A couple days went by- nothing- THEN ON JUNE 4TH I was working, cleaning a room - I so  NEEDED THIS AND WANTED THIS JOB- IT WAS JUST SO RIGHT FOR ME AND I WAS RIGHT FOR IT- I  JUST KNEW it. I stopped working, lifted my head up to heaven and bowed my heart to my Lord Jesus and prayed , asking for this job, then I claimed it in faith and just started giving thanks to the Lord for the job. I felt His spirit over me and began to cry in being blessed by Him and being thankful .  Then  I brushed the tears away - and was filled with joy and started to clean once again- in my heart I laid out before the Lord a fleece- if you want me to have this job , then there will be a message on my answering machine when I get home. Finished my day- on to home I went- not really thinking of what took place before I left work. Got home, let the dogs out, fed them, ran my bath, put supper on, went to turn the tv on- ( answering machine sits there too) ........yes it was... it was flashing with  2 messages!!!! Let me tell you - GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS!  God has a sence of humor too! the first message was a bill collector, the 2nd message was....YES IT WAS.... the H. R person from the Vetanarian Hospital asking me to call  to set up an interview. I lost it! Laughing , praising  God, trying to get the phone number, collect myself so as to sound " normal" to this wonderful man who wanted to interview me for the job.. well, ... we got connected, set the interview for june 5...had the interview- it went very well.... they wanted me to come in a do a " shadow" work clean on my day  off- no problem did that June 10, the wonderful H. R manager said he was pleased and would call me tomorrow( that would be June 11) I was off that day...I was so excited but I had to keep myself busy or I would start doing flips- so I turned the phone up on high , went out to put in a post... yep ...you guessed it- I missed the call !  He had called and left a message...he was prepared to make me an offer ...would I please call him back, but he would be in a meeting till 11:00.... the waiting was unbearable, so I prayed yet one more time.... please Lord...put it upon their  heart to offer me $ 10.00 p hr. ( I really need that wage) not being greedy here. Honest.  well he called me back- he said " I tried to get you  $ 9.75.. but they told me to offer you ....are you all ready? YES GOD did it AGAIN ! they offered me $ 10.00p hr.! Now is my Lord God and Saviour AWESOME! I said  with much eagerness and holding back the shout " praise the Lord"  " yes, I'll take it".  We talked for a few more seconds then he had to get ready for another meeting. I wrote out my resignation and took it to my employer.  My God has set a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, He has taken me and set my feet upon solid ground, what I could not do  He has done. blessed be the Name of my Lord Jesus. He has blessed me herewith and has done great things for me.

Truly this job came as a gift from God , who knows my heart and my needs and what I am best suited to do. He knew exactly what was best for me. I  am most humbled before Him amd ever thankful to Him and greatful to this new employer.

 

well once again  an animal suffers only to loose its life  for the sake of entertainment and getting rich !  Alas how would man live without his entertainment and vast array of his money making Colosseums? I'm talking about the Kentucky Derby, oh I know its an American icon, a " sport " of Kings, there's always another horse right around the corner- right- win some loose some..Eight Belles... they ran the horses on a wet muddy rain soaked track, mud is slippery..but oh the chance to win thousands was much more important than the welfare of the horse. by the way , when was the last  time America had a king? I had a broken bone before, the pain is unbearable, I can't imagine running on  not one but two broken limbs. the poor animal...mankind are monsters filled with cold greedy hearts ! Lets look at the big picture, we have the Colosseums of pits to hold illegal ' dog fights", another for " rooster  fights", then we have ' the gambling " on the Colosseums for the sports of entertainment  like the all American Baseball game, another one for Football, Hockey any one? Oh and lets not forget the Sport of "  Hunting  "wild game, esp . when its alot easier from a helicopter and powerful automatic rifles, or the sport of " Poaching" bears for body parts to sell and make thousands of money on the black market to Asian ancient hokus pokus medicines, again for cold heartless greedy monsters...we call them humans.  Then there is the Collosseum of the age old " Circus" Barlem & Bailey...awwww yes, the wonderful array of animals who travel  America so they can live in cages, and train cars to entertain us. they suffer horrendeously, so they can profit the cold heartless monsters who force them to do stupid, and often dangerous tricks to entertain stupid uncarring humans.  And lets not forget the " Colosseum" of Scientific research  in Laboatories on animals for the benefit of human welfare? What? How?  Their DNA can not possiably be used to make our lives better. The scientists are just like Joseph Megale ( hitlers mad monster) We " SUFFER " animals to live , perform, and die  for food and fur,  and medicine for greed and riches .  Many of todays " perscription drugs" have more dangerous side affects than the desease these mad scientists are trying to treat. Money is  making  pharmasuticals wealthy  Yet  when  its their turn to die they  can't even take  the money with them !    Ha   ! That's justice !  mankind has exploited every living thing he can get his ugly greedy heart on, even  on his own race, the slavery of humans, from the beginning of time to even now.." the Colosseum " of human trafficking for sex slaves and brothels., many of which I believe are stolen and missing children. It is  a   Presidental election year, one candidate is going about with his campaign preaching & promising " it 's a time for change", and yes it is...but only God change the wicked hearts of men...if they repent from their wickedness...but many love their greedy lucre. it is a time to change ....how we treat animals, they deserve their normal lives to live in freedom, not in Colosseums for man's fun, games and entertainment and rich quick schemes. It is a time for change in the laws to protect children  forced in sexual crimes, laws that are strick and judgments to fit the crime. Animals and children are not here for our pleasures to manipulate, torture, abuse, suffer, and get rich by.  life is more than " fun and games" and its wrong to force the lives of others, whether they are on four legs or two, to exploit them and suffer them to do our bidding  for our entertainment, greed, cruel passions,  or out of control  unholy lusts needs to end !. I would like to see the laws put an end to animal labatory experiments, end the circus, animal cullings , slaughter houses of cruelty and uncompassionet  means &  ways , end horse racing, horse slaughter, laws to protect  animal from torture and abuses, men who rape children should be castrated- no ifs and or buts! those who are caught in human trafficking should be castrated and life in prison. A life is a life- once its suffers , and is gone its gone forever.

 

the Bible is full of wisdom, truths and answers. one must have perseverance, and patience. here is some of that :

First, the Bible was written by about 40 different human writers who lived over a period of about 1500 years (50 generations). Many of these writers had no opportunity to collaborate with each other and yet, there are no contradictions in their writings! Like no other book, the writers all agreed on such themes as morality (which certainly has changed drastically in a few generations in our society), child rearing (likewise a changing philosophy), husband and wife relationships (which have been altered in a single generation), the character of God, the way of salvation and the birth, life, death and resurrection of the Saviour of mankind, in minute details.

Scientifically Correct Hundreds of Years in Advance

Second, where the Bible speaks on scientific subjects, it is accurate centuries ahead of its time. For example, in a book entitled "None of These Diseases" by S.I. McMillen, M.D. 1, the doctor cites various hygiene laws God gave to Israel. These were far ahead of the knowledge of the scientific world of that time. Here are a few examples.

Deut. 23:12-13. Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad: And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee.

We may be prone to laugh at something like this in our day. However, in the eighteenth century in Europe, human excrement was cast into the streets of cities in ignorance, giving rise to epidemics of typhoid, cholera and dysentery.

Gen. 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which [is] not of thy seed.

The command to circumcise Jewish boys on the eighth day was no accident. The important blood clotting vitamin K2 in blood is not manufactured in a baby's intestinal tract in normal amounts until the 5th to 7th day of their lives. A second element necessary for blood clotting is prothrombin 3. The presence of this element decreases in an infant for the first 3 days of its life, then suddenly spurts to a maximum level on the eighth day, after which it settles to its norm for the rest of the child's life.

We will cite just one more example. In relatively recent years the medical professions have been warning against the build up of cholesterol in our veins since it may cause clogging and a heart attack. A large source of cholesterol is animal fat. Hear what God told Moses centuries ago 4.

Lev 3:17. [It shall be] a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.

Relative to other areas of scientific fact centuries ahead of scientists, see

Isa 40:22. [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

Eccl 1:7. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

1Cor 6:18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

Job 26:7. He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Science vs. God

"Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ." The atheist
professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new
students to stand.

"You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"

"Yes sir," the student says.

"So you believe in God?"

"Absolutely."

 

 

"Is God good?"

 

 

"Sure! God's good."

"Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"

"Yes."

 

 

"Are you good or evil?"

"The Bible says I'm evil."

The professor grins knowingly. "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a moment.

 

 

"Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can
cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?"

"Yes sir, I would."

 

 

"So you're good...!"

 

 

"I wouldn't say that."

 

 

"But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could.
Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't."

 

 

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. "He doesn't, does
he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to
Jesus to heal him How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?"

 

 

The student remains silent.

 

 

"No, you can't, can you?" the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a
glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

 

 

"Let's start again, young fella Is God good?"

 

 

"Er...yes," the student says.

 

 

"Is Satan good?"

 

 

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. "No."

 

 

"Then where does Satan come from?"

 

 

The student : "From...God..."

 

 

"That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in
this world?"

 

 

"Yes, sir."

 

 

"Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?"

 

 

"Yes."

 

 

"So who created evil?" The professor continued, "If God created everything,
then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle
that our works define who we are, then God is evil."

 

 

Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues: "Is there
sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they
exist in this world?"

 

 

The student: "Yes."

 

 

"So who created them?"

 

 

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question.

"Who created them? There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks
away to pace in front of the classroom... The class is mesmerized.

 

 

"Tell me," he continues onto another student. "Do you believe in Jesus
Christ, son?"

 

 

The student's voice is confident : "Yes, professor, I do."

 

 

The old man stops pacing. "Science says you have five senses you use to
identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?"

 

 

"No sir. I've never seen Him"

 

 

"Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?"

 

 

"No, sir, I have not."

 

 

"Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your
Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for
that matter?"

 

 

"No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't."

 

 

"Yet you still believe in him?"

 

 

"Yes."

 

 

"According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol,
science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?"

 

 

"Nothing," the student replies. "I only have my faith."

 

 

"Yes, faith," the professor repeats. "And that is the problem science has
with God. There is no evidence, only faith."

 

 

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his
own. "Professor, is there such thing as heat?"

 

 

"Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat."

 

 

"And is there such a thing as cold?"

 

 

"Yes, son, there's cold too."

 

 

"No sir, there isn't."

 

 

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room
suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.

 

 

"You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited
heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything
called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat,
but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold;
otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every
body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and
heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero
(-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is onl y a word we
use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can
measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of
heat, sir, just the absence of it."

 

 

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding
like a hammer.

 

 

"What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?"

 

 

"Yes," the professor replies without hesitation. "What is night if it isn't
darkness?"

 

 

"You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of
something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light,
flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and
it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the
word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make
darkness darker, wouldn't you?"

 

 

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a
good semester. "So what point are you making, young man?"

 

 

"Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start
with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed."

 

 

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. "Flawed? Can you
explain how?"

 

 

"You are working on the premise of duality," the student explains. "You
argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God.
You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can
measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and
magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To
view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death
cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just
the absence of it."

 

 

"Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a
monkey?"

 

 

"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes,
of course I do"

 

 

"Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"

 

 

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where
the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

 

 

"Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot
even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching
your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?"

 

 

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has
subsided.

 

 

"To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me
give you an example of what I mean."

 

 

The student looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has
ever seen the professor's brain?" The class breaks out into laughter.

 

 

"Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the
professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? No one appears
to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical,
stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all
due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust
your lectures, sir?"

 

 

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face
unreadable.

 

 

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. "I guess you'll
have to take them on faith."

 

 

"Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,"
the student continues. "Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?"

 

 

Now uncertain, the professor responds, "Of course, there is. We see it
everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in
the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These
manifestations are nothing else but evil."

 

 

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does
not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just
like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence
of God.

 

 

God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does
not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when
there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

 

 

The professor sat down.

 

 when the doubter knocks on my door- I send Faith to answer it.

In todays America and for the world for that matter todays youth has run a muck ! We are forbidden to spank, control, quide , discipline our own children - and look at the price it has cost us- more children die at the hands of their own peers,  drug  abuse, girls gone wild on scandleous videos,  guns and weapons at easy gotten  by gangs,  pregnancy on an all time up scale, disobdient to parents, school Administrators and teachers, even the police . Why? what really gets my " goat" ( sorry gyro) is we aren't permitted to teach " about creation and God" in the public schools, yet they have no problem taking my taxs or increasing them in my property tax and continue teaching those pathetic lies of evolution which I am dead set against! The school systems stink! they have gotten to much authority over what they teach- yet they saddly lost control of proper and necessary discipline, and the most important teaching of all that is being pushed aside more and more is Jesus- both by parents, and the schools . I remember we had prayer in school before class began, it didn't hurt anyone, if anything it caused a contentment, the pledge of alligance- where's that at in the schools that my taxs pay for? We need to return to the old school.  well here is why I wrote this post:

Friend of Little Children

The children watched him suffer and die

and on their faces was the question -why-

for they remembered how He said " bring the little children unto me...'

and how he loved to hold them upon His knee

but now they watched this friend of little children suffering upon the hill called Calvary

tears flow down each tiny face

as they remember His gentle loving embrace

they couldn't think of any wrong He's done

they only knew of His kindness, His words of love

surely He was God's Son

they watched the ' Friend of little children '-

die at the cruel hearts and hands of men

the children knew Him, He'd done no harm

they remembered being loved while held in his arms

they remembered how He with gentleness would wipe away each tear

and make a man born deaf to hear

they remembered how He made a fevered brow to cool

and when He fed the multitudes till all were full

they remembered too the words He spoke on how to give

and how to foregive, love and live

and what they cherished best of all

was how He would hold them close to His breast

and while in His arms felt the peace and quite rest

but now...on their faces one could see their tiny hearts were broke

as the soldiers gambled for His cloak

and as they heard Him moan and cry

and finally watched the " Friend of little children ' die

little faces and tiny hearts began to weep and cry

as they beheld Him still wandering -why-?

 It's cold outside, the wind is howling, snow still falling                                       

as poor  little Wannab again starts bawling

for here it is March twenty two

Spring has sprung and she thinks " so where are You?"

tic toc..... tic toc.....tic toc......

we've already sprung ahead one hour the clock

and time goes on

yet still its not time to mow the lawn

hybirnation  is waking up and loosening its  hold

of  its long sleep  as animals awaken  and come out into the cold

birds are returning...... always a good sign

yet poor little Wannab still has the ' winter- whinne"

robins greet the morning and sweetly sing

and yet once again Wannab screams " so where is Spring!"

as she hears Dick Goddard say " more snow"....

as WannaB looks out the window and cries " OH NO!"

for she longs for a sunny shore and  perhaps a clam bake...

but all she sees is another snowflake.

Outside  its chiily, windy and cold

oh how Wannab longs for spring and summer to unfold

twil not be long dear WannaB

when at last you will fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee

shed all that winter gear

and from this winter finally be set free

 while sitting under an umbrella on a sandy beach

 for the suntan lotion and a cool brew reach

and with a  relief , ...let out a sigh

and say to this winter

good riddens and bye-bye.

Just read this and thought ...Wow... this has so  much truth, love, caring...God ...in it.. and as " off-springs " of Our Creator , what a wonderful  way to show our love for God and others. I hope it touches you as it did me.

Just Stay
A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.

'Your son is here,' she said to the old man.

She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.
He was heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.

The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.   All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength.  Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.

Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.

Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.

Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.

'Who was that man?' he asked.
The nurse was startled, 'He was your father,' she answered.
'No, he wasn't,' the Marine replied. 'I never saw him before in my life.'

'Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?'

'I knew right away there had been a mistake,
but I also knew he needed his son, and his
son just wasn't here.
When I realized that he was too sick to tell
whether or not I was his son,
knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.'

The next time someone needs you ... just be there.  Stay.
