LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD

   There is no language of vegetables which makes the conversion of a cucumber a document of attachment.

IT IS UP TO US TO SAVE AMERICA

     Last Friday, I wrote a post on how I believed that we are about to lose America, if things don't radically change fast.  If we are to save her, it will take those of us who love the Constitution and the rule of law, and the God of the Bible to stand up and "Stand Without Compromise" for the conservative values established by the founding fathers.  We have got to get back to the 'Faith of our Fathers'  God's Word gives us a remedy for the predicament we find ourselves in.  

       In II Chronicles 7:14, God says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land"

A MAN WELL TRAVELED

     On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human being to set foot on the moon.  Present Nixon, authoritative acclaimed the event as the greatest since the Creation.  Armstrong himself, as he took the last step from the ladder of the lunar module, onto the moon's surface, said, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
    Much later in Armstrong's life, Photographer Yousuf Karsh and his wife were having lunch with Neil Armstrong after a photographic session.  Armstrong politely questioned the couple about the many different countries they had visited. "But Mr. Armstrong," protested Mrs. Karsh, "You've walked on the moon.  We want to hear about your travels."
    "But that's the only place I've ever been," replied Armstrong apologetically.

I DON'T BELIEVE THE MEDIA!

    The media today has a grave responsibility, because people listen to it, give credence to it, and listen to it                                                                                                        

AN EARLY FOURTH OF JULY GIFT

       The following story is taken from the life of Arturo Toscanini, classical music conductor and conductor of the NBC Symphony Orchestra and New York's Metropolitan Opera during the first half of the 20th Century.
      
     Arriving at a town on July 3, during a South American tour with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, Toscanini told the disgruntled players that he wished them to assemble at the theater the following morning.  The players who had be traveling for some time, were looking forward to a couple of days free from rehearsals.  They obeyed will an ill grace.  When they were assembled, Toscanini asked them to rise, and led them through "The Star Spangled Banner."  "Today is the Fourth of July, " he announced at the end, and dismissed them.

HOORAY, THE WEEKEND IS HERE!

      It is the first weekend in May.  On Saturday, the Kentucky Derby is run.  Last year at this time, I took a trip to Dallas Texas, for an event hosted by VitaMark, my former Network Marketing Company.  I went down from Detroit on the Greyhound Bus.  We went through Louisville Ky.  which of course is where the Derby is run. We went through there on Friday.  On Fridays of Derby Weekend they have a parade, which of course blocks of some of the streets, and the buses were slowed up because of it.   The event was on Saturday.  I left Dallas on Sunday by train.  Amtrak was delayed because of a breakdown in San Antonio.  This delayed us getting into Chicago which meant I missed the connecting train to Detroit by 3 hours.  They shuttled us back to Michigan by step van.  All in ail, the weekend was good!.

WE ARE GOING TO LOSE THIS COUNTRY!

         George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and the rest of the men we call the Founding Fathers would definitely be rolling in their graves today with what has happened to our country.  Our freedoms are on the chopping block, and our republic is disappearing.
     I hate politics, but I guess I would call myself a Ronald Reagan Conservative.  In 2008, i was really afraid that we would have Hillary Clinton as our president.  I remember thinking and saying at the time that if Hillary was elected president that our country would be going down the tubes.  Instead we elected someone much worse.  Barack Obama is a Marxist Socialist.   He is a Muslim.  He is a homo-sexual.  And I am not satisfied that he was born in this country.  If that alone is true, this violates our Constitution.  Sure this apparently is the last election that Obama can run; however, who is on the horizon?  Hillary Clinton wants to run for President in 2016.  

     What to watch for.  Our 1st Amendment is a bellweather.  I believe that it is the 'Canary' in the Mine.  Freedom of Assembly, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, and Freedom of Religion.  This are our most important rights.  And every single one of them are under attack.  Pay attention, and Mark it down that if any of this Freedoms fail, then America is OVER
