<description><![CDATA[“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles.”  (Proverbs ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><em><span style="color:#333399;">“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles.” <br />
(Proverbs 24:17)</span></em></p>
<p>How do you respond when you hear of bad things happening to your enemies?  Personally, I’m not quite sure.  First of all, it’s hard for me to consider anyone an enemy.  The term seems so extreme.  There are people I dislike, and certainly people who have done wrong to me, but I’m not sure if I would consider them enemies.  So, replace “enemy” with someone who has wronged you…now ask yourself the question: “how do you respond?” </p>
<p>This verse reminded me of a response I had this past summer when I learned the outcome of a situation that involved a person who wronged me in a big way.  I had been following this situation and anticipating the outcome and its closure for nearly 3 years when news finally came this summer.  For me, the outcome represented a lot:  the validity of right and wrong and a personal confirmation of God’s justice and protection.  Needless to say I was relieved and excited.  Part of me felt compassion on the person involved, but far more than that I rejoiced.  I told friends who were with me on vacation.  I went outside to praise God.  I was elated.  Tonight, months later, I can’t help but think over my response…especially in light of this verse.  Was it wrong of me?  Could I have responded differently?  I’m still trying to figure it out with this specific situation, but I know there are other instances when I could have and should have responded very differently.  The most prominent example of a right response lies with a story of Jesus himself. </p>
<p>Jesus – He hung on a cross, placed there for reasons that are rooted in lies, personal vendettas and injustice.  There was no good reason for him to hang on that cross…But he was crucified.  It’s hard to say that Jesus would consider those that hung him enemies, but I’ll revert back to my alternate understanding…they were definitely people who had done wrong to him.    Luke 23 describes the scene well:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#333399;"><em>“</em><em>As they led [Jesus] away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus…. Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified [Jesus], along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. <strong>J</strong><strong>esus said, &#8220;Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.&#8221; </strong> And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.  The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, &#8220;He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.&#8221;   The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, &#8220;If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.&#8221; (verse 26 – 37)</em></span></p>
<p>In Isaiah 52:14 we are told that Jesus would be beaten beyond recognition, disfigured and marred from human likeness.  He was beaten and then taken to die on a cross – ridiculed and shouted at…His response to those who did him wrong = prayer.  He asked God to forgive them.  My understanding of the eternal implications of God’s forgiveness is that they would be welcomed into Heaven.  So, if that’s correct, I will also suggest that Jesus was praying for God to forgive those who were killing him – asking that they would join him in Heaven. </p>
<p>I can’t get my mind around that.  It’s profound and so easily read…yet so difficult to translate into my life and my actions.  Share a heavenly inheritance and spend eternity with a person who has done wrong to me or someone else?  Really, God?  Yes&#8230;Really! </p>
<p>I guess the reality is that we are no more or less deserving of God’s forgiveness…and we are just as susceptible to sin as the next person regardless of whether they are friend or foe.  I can only hope that I would be mature enough to pray for God’s love to embrace and welcome in those whom I, personally, have the most trouble loving. </p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em><span style="color:#800080;">Lord, I don’t know how to interpret my responses to those who have done wrong to me or others that I know.  God help me to understand this verse in light of praising and recognizing your justice.  I have a hard time reconciling the two.  And, please God, help me to love those who disappoint me, help me to not rejoice when a foe falls.  If only I could apply the wisdom of this Proverb AND respond in a prayer like Jesus.  Only by your Grace, Father.  Amen. </span>     </em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I once watched a truly forgettable movie about two brothers who were part of a mob family.  One brother chose the life of crime, and the other chose to give his life to fighting lawlessness.  Blah, blah, blah…  Save your money.  Here’s the only thing interesting in the whole movie.</p>
<p>In one flashback scene where the brothers were fighting, their father intervened.  He then took out a dollar bill and tore it in half.  Giving one half to each child, he said, “Remember, boys, you are stronger together than you are apart.”</p>
<p>What a great illustration for the importance of unity within the Body of Christ.  Working against each other, we don’t amount to much.  In fact, we pretty much cancel each other out.  But working together, we have the strength to face the Enemy and the worst he can throw at us.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Two are better than one,<br />
because they have a good return for their work: </em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>If one falls down,<br />
his friend can help him up.<br />
But pity the man who falls<br />
and has no one to help him up!</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.<br />
But how can one keep warm alone?</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Though one may be overpowered,<br />
two can defend themselves.<br />
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">(Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>My imagination is set on a voyage to the past.</p>
<p> I can see the Athenian thinkers and artists mingling with their Indian counterparts, following the occupation of the Punjab by Alexander the Great. It was a rare coming together of the East and the West, on equal terms, because the Greek conqueror was a visionary, who appreciated nobility, without stamping any one as an enemy.</p>
<p>The following centuries saw an awakening, nowhere else witnessed in the history of the world. The two races produced a hybrid, as marriage between them was encouraged by the Emperor. The plains watered by the R. Sindhu (Indus) and its five tributaries, gained the name panch ab or PUNJAB which produces the food grains, enough to feed the whole of north India!</p>
<p> What a pity, it is unlawfully divided along communal lines, by short sighted politicians.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Like two weeks ago, I received a call from a guy that I hate, [PP]. We went to the same under-grad school, and he was my ex&#8217;s roommate. They lived in the same building as me, but below me. This guy really sucks. He is what I have deemed an insecure badass. He always acted like he was awesome and a lot of people liked him, but this was not the case.  He seems to thrive off of drama, and loves to stir shit up just to  be the center of attention. I also had the pleasure of working with him. He didn&#8217;t bathe often enough and smelled really badly, our boss at work actually ended up saying something to him about it.Well, things between the ex and I were pretty toxic, and [PP] would tell everyone at work and school about my life&#8217;s drama and mess. I don&#8217;t really talk about personal stuff at work, it is work, and I don&#8217;t think it is appropriate. But he would say stuff about my life when I wasn&#8217;t at work, and people would tell me later what he said and discuss my issues with me. I am not okay with this at all. I prefer to keep my personal shit to myself. But [PP] had a big mouth. So I called him out on it, and we got in a huge fight. I basically told him that I would pretend like he didn&#8217;t exist and he better do the same with me. He did a few other douche bag things, and after that last conversation we never spoke again.<img class="alignright" title="lucy" src="http://summer.ntua.edu.tw/~s9422630/images/meet_lucy_big.gif" alt="" width="73" height="118" /></p>
<p>So like I said, he called and I was pretty confused as to why this douche would try to call me after years of not speaking. Well, I found out why yesterday. I  went to eat lunch with a friend of mine that works with [PP]. Turns out that he is now trying to apply to the school that I am currently going to, and was just wanting to &#8220;patch things up.&#8221; AKA wanting me to put in a good word for him. When my friend mentioned that she was seeing me, [PP]made some snide comment about me, so obviously he still doesn&#8217;t like me, but isn&#8217;t against using me. Funny, you are complete and total bastard, but when you want something, you&#8217;re willing to call me out of the blue, well [PP], don&#8217;t worry. I have plenty of stuff that I can tell the students on the admission panel about you, stupid fucking gobshit! In fact, I would be more than happy to tell them what I think of you, so don&#8217;t worry, I have more than a few words saved up to describe you. And don&#8217;t worry, I will. I have asked my friend to inform me if he is given an interview at my school just so I can be sure to vouch for his character <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  And yesI am spiteful, just to prove it check this out,<a href="http://http://divinem.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/i-am-that-spiteful/" target="_blank"> I am that spiteful!</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The world will hate us. That is for those of us who <strong>submit </strong>to Christ. There are millions of people all over the world and especially here in the United States who <strong>claim</strong> to be Christians. The enemy has no problem with those people. Most of the Church and those who call themselves Christians are no threat to the enemy. We run around somewhat living our lives for Christ. We put some verses on our walls and in our offices. We go to church every sunday, sing some songs, listen to Christian music, read our Bibles, and sometimes we even try to do what it says. However, we are extremely afraid of giving it all to Christ. We like to say &#8220;Ya I&#8217;ve given my life to Christ.&#8221; The truth is that this world has no idea what it would look like if one single man or woman would give their life to Christ. We haven&#8217;t seen anyone, at least not in our lifetime, totally surrender everything and submit every single aspect of their life to God. And that my brothers and sisters is why the enemy doesn&#8217;t fear us. However, they do become afraid when we finally act out the Bible. Not the parts where we change our attitudes, but when we begin to engage the world. When we start confronting the sin in our lives and in the lives of those around us. When we begin to be a bright light. When we share our faith. When we don&#8217;t allow darkness or sin to darken our lives. When we pray with <strong>power</strong> and truly live for Christ.</p>
<p>We are either enemies of the world or it&#8217;s friend. There is no room for middle ground any more. Most of us, myself included, have tried to live our lives in that middle ground. We try to live for Christ when it&#8217;s convenient, when it won&#8217;t get us in trouble. Well the truth is that if you or I choose to truly life for Christ. If we choose to engage this world on our own front line, whether that front is at Mcdonalds, at our schools, or whatever arena God has placed us in, then we must get ready for a fight. Whether you want to call this a war or not I promise you that the enemy will come at you. Once you step into the realm of truly living out what God has for you the enemy will jump at you. It hates Christ and if we truly follow Him then the enemy will hate us to.</p>
<p>Many would say I am idealist for thinking that all Christians should truly submit everything to Christ and become radicles. That is simply a term people will use when they are faced with a challenge that seems impossible that they don&#8217;t have the courage to face. All I am exposing is the standard that Jesus holds us to. He holds us to perfection. Anything in our lives that falls below that standard is worthless. So we can either shoot for that high standard, or we can make excuses and continue on with business as usual. Jesus Christ, the God that we <strong>claim </strong>to serve, walked this earth as a direct enemy of the world. He didn&#8217;t preach some soft gospel crap. He never said any junk about &#8220;being a nicer person.&#8221; If all Jesus wanted was for us to be nicer then He wouldn&#8217;t have been crucified. What kind of government would kill Mr. Rogers or Captian Kangaroo? Our Lord called us to rebel against the world. To shoot for the highest standard, for perfection, to live in a way that makes people notice us. Not because we are standing on a street corner with a sign that says repent, but because our lives magnify Christ. People should see our lives and the fruit that comes out of us.</p>
<p>The simple truth is that we are faced with a choice. We can shoot for that high standard and <strong>really </strong>give Christ <strong>everything, </strong>or we can just keep doing what we have been doing. I&#8217;ve never heard of anyone giving Christ anything and being disappointed with the outcome. I&#8217;d rather make myself a fool for the sake of Christ then sit around at the end of my life wondering what if I had. I&#8217;m going to find our what that life looks like. I&#8217;m going to fall on my face countless times, but I&#8217;ll get back up and chase it every time.</p>
<p>Will you?</p>
<p><em>&#8220;If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. <strong>If you belonged to the world</strong>, it would love you as its own. As it is, <strong>you do not belong to the world</strong>, but I have <strong>chosen</strong> you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: &#8216;No servant is greater than his master.&#8217; If they persecuted me, they <strong>will</strong> persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They <strong>will</strong> treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me&#8221; John 15:18-21</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Count yourself blessed every time someone <strong>cuts you down</strong> or <strong>throws you out</strong>, every time someone smears or blackens your name to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and that that person is uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—skip like a lamb, if you like!—for even though they don&#8217;t like it, I do . . . and <strong>all heaven applauds</strong>. And know that you are in good company; my preachers and witnesses have always been treated like this.&#8221; Luke 6:22-23</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So, last time we spoke it was the middle of the night after a night on the town. Tonight it is the night of the morning after a night in a house with many friends and one enemy.</p>
<p>Anyway, I drove there, which was apparently a wise move, as several of my friends took a bus then a train then a bus and took a very long time to get there, carrying bags of who knows what. So, I arrived and, judging from the smell, they had been smoking for a while, hehe, so I joined them. There was a large table outside, an x-box inside, couches, good company (mostly), etc.</p>
<p>To be more specific about the one bad company, she&#8217;s one of the friends of friends who really isn&#8217;t up to the standard of the rest of them. I can&#8217;t really be fucked going into too much detail, but several times when she opened her mouth about three of us just left the table, which hopefully sent her and whoever invited her a message, but whatever, haha. Otherwise, it was a great time.</p>
<p>I hung out in my car towards the end with a select few of the good company with music and etc. then slept there until the sun woke me up, which wasn&#8217;t as pleasant as a sunrise deserves to be. This morning I drove to my friends&#8217; house, one of the friends had just arrived back from Canadia the day before, so that was cool.</p>
<p>And now I&#8217;m home, I rented a boxing game, haha, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been doing.</p>
<p>After writing this, it seems like the first or second time in my blogging experience where I doubt whether anyone will really give a shit. Which might be a sign not to post it, mm.</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;ll have to make up for it with something interesting, I guess&#8230;</p>
<p>I ate jelly today, that&#8217;s interesting, I&#8217;m sure. I haven&#8217;t had jelly in ages and it was as awesome as I remember it being. I also had peanut butter and jam m&#38;ms brought back from Canadia, which I enjoyed.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m as bored by this blog as you are, so I&#8217;ll find a quote for the day and be off,</p>
<p>&#8220;Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: &#8216;What! You too? I thought I was the only one.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Your boring jelly-eater,</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>This venerable and much honored <strong>WW II vet </strong>is well known in Hawaii</em> <em>for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes</em> <em>all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body,</em> <em>he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now.</em> <em>He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.</em></p>
<p>Dear President Obama,</p>
<p>My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don&#8217;t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.</p>
<p>I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II, retiring as a Master Chief Bos&#8217;n Mate. Now I live in a &#8220;rest home&#8221; located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.</p>
<p>One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.</p>
<p>So here goes.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t figure out what country you are the president of.</p>
<p>You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies <em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">despicable lies</span></em> like:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re no longer a Christian nation&#8221; and &#8220;America is arrogant&#8221; </strong>- (Your wife even announced to the world, <strong>&#8220;America is mean-spirited.&#8221;</strong> 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.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;d say shame on the both of you, but I don&#8217;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.</p>
<p><strong>After 9/11 you said, &#8220;America hasn&#8217;t lived up to her ideals.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.</p>
<p>Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don&#8217;t, I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don&#8217;t want us to offend <em>Muslim fanatics</em> by calling them what they are, <strong><em>terrorists</em></strong>.</p>
<p>One more thing&#8230; I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you&#8217;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&#8217;re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you&#8217;re thinking of.</p>
<p>You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That&#8217;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&#8217;t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Harold B. Estes</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>When a 95 year old hero of the &#8220;Greatest Generation&#8221; stands up and speaks out like this, everyone listens!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This morning was the initiation on my annual vendetta against my main cold weather nemesis! This intangible asshole has cause me so much grief over the years! I always forget my white hot passionate hate for this foe until it gets cold, and as soon as it is warm, this sneaky bastard creeps away to be forgotten and hidden. I can deal with winter dry skin, this is not a problem. I tackled that problem years ago, with a battalion of lotions, face creams, special masks, and whatnot. But this one, my enemy! I have yet to find a way to annihilate his presence from my life! I have tried for years, and yet <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>STATIC</strong></span> has strategically managed to allude all my attempts to vanquish it from my life!</p>
<p>I have tried so much to get rid of this plaguing menace. Hairspray, done! And done! I have sprayed until I look like one of those creepy Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and yet, somehow, I still have hair clinging to my face or eerily <img class="alignright" title="Oompa Loompa" src="http://insideportland.com/portland/wonka/oompa.jpg" alt="" width="134" height="99" />floating out to the side. Dryer sheets, done! I have rubbed dryer sheets all over my head trying to get the static out of my hair, but no. I end up smelling like a laundromat, and there is no noticeable change to my hair. I re-wash it, but this doesn&#8217;t help anything. My hair is already dry as dry can be. I get it dyed and have been so since I was like 12, and I have been lectured by ever hair dresser how traumatic washing is to your hair. It makes the dye come out faster (even permanent dye) and it dries out your hair, no matter how <img class="alignleft" title="Static hair" src="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4470062/static1-main_Full.jpg" alt="" width="78" height="138" />much conditioner you use. So today, when I was fixing my hair, and I pulled the brush away, and my hair floated up held in place by that asshole some refer to as static. I was livid! And ended up wearing my hair in a bun to make it a non-issue. My hair has finally gotten long, and I want to wear it down! I love my hair and it has give me much additional stress as of late (<a href="http://divinem.wordpress.com/2009/10/22/i-swear-i-am-too-young-for-this/" target="_blank">I swear, I am too young for this!!!!</a>) any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>So <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE</strong></span>!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have any suggestions for protecting and making hair static-free, <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>PLEASE</strong></span> help me out! I will appreciate and try any suggestions, in efforts to slaughter static and finally beat it once and for all!</p>

<p>I have written an ongoing account of &#8216;The Dogs&#8217; but today I had a day of the &#8216;The Lorries&#8217; and &#8216;The Tunnels&#8217; as I cut through the mountainous border from Serbia to Bulgaria.</p>
<p>The scenery was truly stunning with deep tree-lined valley&#8217;s, blue skies and village life lining the roads. The problem was the international single lane highway that was my only route through.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">It’s All About Jesus!</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><br />
</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-size:16px;">Spirit of Prophecy Bulletin</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns &#8212; Nov. 18, 2009:</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>The enemy has launched an attack against you, My people, to cause confusion, misunderstandings, miscommunication and hindrances. You must rise up in the spirit realm and shut the door on this attack and call forth a clearing of the air ways. And, I will give you clarity and open the door and clear the way for you to proceed unhindered, says the Lord. Be diligent to wage a good warfare. Victory is assured.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>1 Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare.</em></strong></p>
<p>One may have awakened by the alarm at 3:00 AM.  One may have gotten up right away and started cleaning the bathroom and confessing one&#8217;s sins.  One may have changed some things around, like getting up earlier so that one may have more time with the Lord.</p>
<p>After cleaning and confessing one’s sins, one came out of the bathroom and read the Spirit of Prophecy Bulletin.  One gathered one’s Bible, notebook and computer chair and headed for the bathroom.</p>
<p>Upon returning, one set the alarm for 4:30 AM.  One made a conscious effort to pray for the clearing of the airways.  One began to praise the Lord with Song.  One prayed for the sick and then one asked the Lord to lead one to the scripture that He wanted one to read.</p>
<p>One may have opened one’s Bible and one’s eyes fell on <a href="http://biblestudy.crosswalk.com/mybst/default.aspx?type=bible&#38;reference=ru%204:1&#38;translation=kjv" target="_blank">Ruth 4:1</a>.  One started reading the chapter.  One asked the Lord while reading if He wanted one to read the whole chapter.  One may have felt compelled to read to the end of Chapter 4.</p>
<p>One then got quiet and began to press into Jesus.  One may have thought many thoughts and fidgeted during the entire time.</p>
<p>While one may have been sitting there a thought came to one’s mind that the Lord was not going to show up.  One thought, ”What if He does, what are you going to do?”  One thought, “To be humble and just accept whatever the Lord gives one.”  One wondered how much time one had left as well.</p>
<p>The alarm may have gone off and it was time for one to leave.  One sat there for a moment with disbelief and disappointment at how the time spent turned out.</p>
<p>One left the bathroom.  One may have been upset.  One thought about how one made an effort to get up earlier even though one had not felt like it.  One thought to give up, throw in the towel.</p>
<p>The thoughts kept coming quicker than one could think.  Then one had an epiphany, “This is a “Lying Spirit!”  One began to literally laugh at all the accusations one may have heard in one&#8217;s head.</p>
<p>One may have dismissed all the negative thoughts.  One logged onto the website to pray for prayer requests.  When one finished, one laid down to go to sleep.  The disappointment, anger and accusations were not there.</p>
<p>One may look forward to trying again tomorrow morning.  Thank you Jesus, for everything.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Wednesday</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#00ff00;">PRaP 11-18-2009</span></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>More Than Conquerors </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[<a title="See footnote j" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208&#38;version=NIV#fen-NIV-28130j#fen-NIV-28130j">j</a>] who[<a title="See footnote k" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208&#38;version=NIV#fen-NIV-28130k#fen-NIV-28130k">k</a>] have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. </strong></p>
<p><strong> 31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:<br />
   &#8221;For your sake we face death all day long;<br />
      we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.&#8221;[<a title="See footnote l" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208&#38;version=NIV#fen-NIV-28138l#fen-NIV-28138l">l</a>] 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[<a title="See footnote m" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208&#38;version=NIV#fen-NIV-28140m#fen-NIV-28140m">m</a>] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Thank You LORD I needed that today!  I pray that these words encourage you in your trials as they have encouraged me in mine.  May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you today and everyday until He takes you home to be with Him, in Jesus Name AMEN! AMEN!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208&#38;version=NIV">Romans 8</a></strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[Fort Hood, Texas. Home of the United States Army 1ST Cavalry Division. Second to None!! AMERICAN SOL]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Fort Hood, Texas. Home of the United States Army 1ST Cavalry Division. Second to None!!</p>
<p><strong>AMERICAN SOLDIERS ATTACKED AT HOME IN AMERICA!!</strong></p>
<p>Soldiers coming back from the war and Soldiers preparing to go back to the frontlines, are killed by a muslim extremist whose patience paid off. The likes of Geraldo Rivera along with muslim groups and sympathizers are calling it a &#8220;stress related &#8220;mass&#8221; killing&#8221;. Obama and his &#8220;female partner&#8221; are using this &#8220;mass killing&#8221; as a kodak moment. Pelosi and her gang of pathetic pieces of human inconvenience are more concerned about socializing healthcare than they are securing the United States of America. All the while, General McCrystal awaits Obama&#8217;s decision on whether or not he gets the additional Soldiers he needs to fight these pathetic, witless, koran reading womb rejects.</p>
<p>Gees, I don&#8217;t know!! Maybe now would be a great time to SEND the 40 thousand Soldiers to Afghanistan. Better yet!! Why not deploy the United States Armed Forces throughout the continental United States? We need protection too! But from who? Hmmmmm! Is it our current government? Is it muslims?</p>
<p>Oh, I am sorry!! That sounds a lot like martial law, huh?</p>
<p>Okay then, will the real Nidal Malik Hasan please stand up? Uh oh, did I say stand up? I meant sit up and just breathe, your fate awaits.</p>
<p>The murderer, the islamic jihadist, the perpetrator of fraud, the anti- American muslim, the valueless piece of human waste and the epitome of a real and true muslim. This is the real Hasan contrary to what his family, fellow muslims,  Geraldo Rivera and his media support network might say.</p>
<p>THIS IS NOT STRESS; HASAN WAS NOT STRESSED!! If you media pro&#8217;s are looking for an argument that will enable your ratings based on your theory of stress, this time and rest assured, you are barking up the wrong tree. Obviously, you know not of what you speak.</p>
<p>Hasan NEVER, I say again, NEVER went to the war zone.</p>
<p>NEVER went headfirst into a foxhole dodging a mortar round or two.</p>
<p>NEVER fired a single round defending himself and fellow soldiers.</p>
<p>NEVER took cover from enemy small arms fire.</p>
<p>NEVER returned fire in defense of his position.</p>
<p>He has no claim nor the merit to align himself with the PTSD identifier.</p>
<p>Hasan, like ALL muslims, played on American values winning the hearts and minds of Obama and others, called himself American while singing the national anthem to &#8220;prove&#8221; he is a legitimate American.</p>
<p>Have the muslims really pulled the wool over the America&#8217;s eyes or what?</p>
<p>Hasan&#8217;s  jihadist charade wasn&#8217;t due to stress, it was his &#8220;allahu akbar&#8221; trash that sprang from his lips that solidified his True intent. Those of us who have been in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, know what&#8217;s coming when &#8220;allahu akbar&#8221; is announced. Hell!!!</p>
<p>The United States Armed Forces should now do what should have been done a long time ago, quarantine and lock up any and all muslims in the United States Armed Forces. Period!! Prevailing circumstances and justifiable cause win out. Then of course, the civilian side of America should follow suit and round up any and all muslims as dictated by the Constitution of the United States. We are at war with muslims and their islamic jihadism. The security of the United States preempts any and all &#8220;civil rights&#8221; these muslims enjoy as they only cry as an American when it suits their needs and &#8220;desires&#8221;.</p>
<p>Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) has called for an investigation into whether or not the Army &#8220;missed signs that Hasan embraced extremist views of islamic ideology&#8221;. Nice try Joe, but it is your fellow Congressmen who endorse enlistments and military service as being a &#8220;volunteer, come as you are policy&#8221;. No profiling or prejudice. An act of Congress Joe!! You know what that means Joe, no argument or &#8220;note of protest&#8221; allowed. C&#8217;mon Joe, you know the ACLU would challenge every effort to keep America safe. So, why waste your time unless of course you have the American Soldier at your side?</p>
<p>The ACLU has endorsed opening up our streets and neighborhoods to these terrorists. The ACLU is the ACLU. Open borders. Safe havens in American cities for illegals. Criminal rights preferred over victims rights. Ban the American flag. Ban the Catholic or Christian cross.</p>
<p>US Army recruiters and recruits are shot dead in front of recruiting stations. American sons and daughters are being killed by terrorists and illegals and what does our country do? They give these inbred rejects &#8220;Rights&#8221;.</p>
<p>Remember, it was Janet Napolitano who issued a statement to federal, state and municipal law enforcement agencies warning them of &#8220;returning war veterans becoming extremists&#8221;. Oh, but the muslim radical extremists are poster children of what America really is and should be? I think this is worth an LOL, don&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>Piss on you Napolitano!! You slap the American military in the face, spit on them, while at the same time caressing islam right on the ass. Great Job!! You wouldn&#8217;t by any chance be one of those 72 virgins, would you?</p>
<p>The United States Armed Forces serve with their hands tied while bent over. Of course there are military officers, especially in the upper echelon, who prefer to keep their mouths shut for fear of not getting that &#8220;political appointment&#8221;. And so we are a &#8220;nice, obedient military&#8221; who for all intent and purpose, gets the shaft both at home and abroad and especially after service. How fruitful!!</p>
<p>Many cheers to you, Napolitano, you were right. There are extremists among our military. My apologies! There is however, one teeny weeny problem. The extremists are the ones we are fighting against in the Middle East. Incidentally, they have infiltrated our military exactly how they infiltrate their own military and police forces in their respective countries. But you knew that, didn&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>How ironic, jihadism in the US military.</p>
<p>Jihadism in the US Government, from the Oval Office down to the office of Eric Holder, Attorney General at large, who is offering civil and judicial rights to America&#8217;s enemy right here in New York City.</p>
<p>That is so sweet of this government!!</p>
<p>Abu Gharaib was worse, wasn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Of course it was! American soldiers are dirty, anti human by nature, and murderers at large. And to think I was a part of that. Securing America and fighting for her very existence. How stupid of me!! Those muslims, I could hug em all!!</p>
<p>The American military is the worst of the worst as it violates the many rights of other countries and their people. Saddam Hussein was a prince compared to the American Soldier. Bin Laden is a hero who risked it all to prove that America is the Great Satan. Both Hussein and Bin Laden wanted nothing more than peace. Hasan proved this by killing 12 American Soldiers and obiding by the very comic book, the &#8220;Koran&#8221;, that Bin Laden and Hussein swore by.</p>
<p>Extremism? Nah!! Just a burdened element of your society, Napolitano.</p>
<p>Muslims &#8220;stress&#8221; too!! Really!</p>
<p>Strapping an IED to your body and then the possibility of detonating a bit early would stress me out. I would want to kill as many innocent folks as I could. It&#8217;s just part of the &#8220;game&#8221;. Hasan would agree with me. Which is why he used bullets instead.</p>
<p>Should we send a get well card to Hasan? After all, the poor guy is now paralyzed and we should show our American &#8220;heart&#8221;.</p>
<p>What really bothers me is the fact that Hasan&#8217;s relative stated unequivically, that Hasan was/is a &#8220;good&#8221; American. Well duh, anybody can be a &#8220;good&#8221; American. But to prove it&#8230;</p>
<p>Am I slow or what?</p>
<p>Not once, since 9/11, have I heard one single muslim say &#8220;I am a proud American AND I will defend the United States of America against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. Including fellow muslims or &#8220;islamic nut jobs&#8221;. Not One!!</p>
<p>If you listen to muslims very closely, you will only hear them say &#8220;the koran or islam does not &#8220;promote&#8221; or &#8220;condone&#8221; the killing of &#8220;innocent&#8221; women and children&#8221;. Words to ease the mind or just interpretation? Muslims NEVER actually condemn any act of terrorism with honor or integrity. In fact, they never mention men or buildings or collateral damage as &#8220;who or what is not to be harmed according to the koran and its teaching&#8221;.</p>
<p>How blind are you people?</p>
<p>Liberals, I can understand their ignorance. But Republicans or Conservatives? Is Fox news that convincing?</p>
<p>Are O&#8217;Reilly and Limbaugh really that iconic? Look, I am as Republican and/or Conservative as any one person can be, but I do not rely on media that continually promotes its own ratings and skirts the issues.</p>
<p>It is called &#8220;attention to detail&#8221;. Without it, anything goes.</p>
<p>Hasan did what he did based on simple American beliefs and values. America indulges  complacency. The so-called conservative media allows complacency out of the need for simple &#8220;argumentation&#8221; so as to create or blindside the Real and True American into a power rating struggle amongst media outlets.</p>
<p>When Limbaugh makes a comment like &#8220;I resign the position of being America&#8217;s Conservative leader&#8221;, two questions come to mind. First, who appointed you the Conservative leader? Second, what makes you compatible with the Republican Conservative agenda? Certainly not your dim witted wit.</p>
<p>If conservative media was true to its intent, then they would be going for the throat. Literally!! Instead, they boast about ratings, waiting for &#8220;something&#8221; to happen that they could capitalize on with &#8220;armchair experts&#8221; whose only vested interest is public relations and noteriety. These media talk and information shows use others to argue a point, while the &#8220;personalities&#8221; use &#8220;researchers&#8221; to do the important stuff like get facts to make an argument.</p>
<p>This does not require an Einstein I.Q..</p>
<p>Here are some points that will weed out the &#8220;fake&#8221; republicans or self proclaimed conservatives:</p>
<p>1 &#8211; Conservative media highlights the illegal alien issue by using &#8220;nice&#8221; words and phrases like &#8220;illegals cost the American tax payers billions of dollars a year and we need immigration reform now&#8221;. Or, &#8220;illegals have been killing Americans with their drugs, alcohol abuse and murder&#8221;.</p>
<p>Tell me something I don&#8217;t know!!</p>
<p>Like: &#8220;Put the US military on the border; do away with the Posse Comitatus act; seize any and all assets of the Mexican government and KEEP it as a &#8220;down payment&#8221; to pay back the American tax payer; round up, detain and criminally charge ALL illegals whether they are fresh out of the womb or drinking Geritol; SEND THEM BACK&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>2- Conservative media is a constant voice when it comes to the economy. They say things like: &#8220;All of the money from the bailout has yet to be dispersed&#8221;; &#8220;Where is all of the money going?&#8221;; The banks are beginning to pay their share of the bailout money back&#8221;; &#8220;the bailout money was supposed to save or create jobs&#8221;; &#8220;there is no &#8220;credit&#8221; or &#8220;financial relief&#8221; for the hard working American family&#8221;.</p>
<p>Again, Duh!!!</p>
<p>Why not try blasting the government for its intentional abuse of the American taxpayer. The government should have frozen ALL credit reporting activity and and levied fines against ALL financial institutions who continue to report negative credit activity. Establish as non binding, the three credit reporting companies who have done more harm than good to people and families and have created their own version of credit reporting without due process and making money from people who are or have been struggling. Require them to request in writing, permission to release any information for fee or free to companies who request it whether for credit purchases or employment; require banks to stop charging overdraft fees, ATM fees, checking fees, and late fees; banks will be charged by the consumer fees of inconvenience; false charge fees; wrongful entry fees and uncashed check fees among others; with the money that has exchanged hands between the government and financial, income tax should be frozen for one year based on economic status and all income should be tax free&#8230;..</p>
<p>Wishful thinking? No! Just plain, simple logic minus the backbone.</p>
<p>Terrorists can be afforded rights, money and health care much like their illegal counterparts, yet the broke, struggling, American taxpayer foots the tab. FOR EVERYTHING!!! For the simpleminded, it is called SOCIALISM which is designed to require a people to &#8220;DEPEND&#8221; on its government or dictatorship.</p>
<p>This is a 1+1 and if you can&#8217;t figure that out, you have more issues than you think. Stick with the liberal, bleeding heart, ill fated venture, you deserve it!!!</p>
<p>Hasan is due a firing squad, &#8220;whoever get&#8217;s to him first&#8221;.Go for the throat!! But you liberals want to give him a chance so the assumption is, a possible rehabilitation program, right? Right!!</p>
<p>As Real and True Americans, we must begin to take matters into our own hands. Politics and media are not concerned about America, but only what they can &#8220;reap or steal&#8221; from it. This is not about &#8220;how&#8221; we deal with muslims, the economy, terrorists, illegals, financial fraud against hard working Americans and anti-Americanism in all its forms, this is about &#8220;what&#8221; we are going to do about it.</p>
<p>Unless we have the fortitude and courage to stand beside the Constitution and the Bill of Rights ignoring political correctness, then we are going in a &#8220;one way, bad way&#8221;, with no return. America is my country and I am going to take her back.</p>
<p>The Hasans and bin Ladens of the world, the banks of the world, the criminals of the world and the politically correct must all be aware. We are coming and it will be on our time, not yours. We have seen enough. You show no respect, you get no respect&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Hasan has proven that with terrorism, comes hell, and with hell, comes a government of no courage or values&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.a government that continues to fine tune its own terroristic tendencies. Think people, think.</p>
<p>May islam burn in hell as it has disrupted the American dream and our future. Kind of like what the American government has done recently.</p>
<p>Stand up America!! We are not extremists, we are just extremely mad and will now focus on our American future that the current &#8220;government&#8221; forbids. We don&#8217;t rant, we speak with intensity and logic. Remember those who have given us this opportunity, not the Hasans&#8230;and Obama&#8217;s.</p>

<a href="http://americangrandjury.org/barry-soetoro-barack-obama-is-guilty-of-treason" target="_blank">Source: American Grand Jury</a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Obama must be prosecuted and severely punished for his Tr</strong><a href="http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/ii403/hahayouredeadblog/Treason.jpg"><img class="alignright" src="http://i550.photobucket.com/albums/ii403/hahayouredeadblog/Treason.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a><strong>eason </strong>to save our Nation. <strong>You, and everyone you know must immediately and publicly file crimin</strong><strong>al complaints naming Obama in commission of Treason</strong> in an attempt to keep the Civil War already begun to the lowest level of violence possible.</p>
<p>Obama is a Muslim. <strong>The word Muslim is used in this writing to describ</strong><strong>e an armed invading force with the mission of destroying the United States Constitution</strong>, slaughtering you and your children and subjugating survivors. Muslims intend to take over America as part of their War to conquer the world.</p>
<p><strong>Obama leads the Muslim invasion force as a foreign born domestic enemy</strong>. Obama’s Muslim invaders are augmented and reinforced from several quarters. <strong>All of Obama’s supporting forces are bent on the destruction of America.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Your failure to act at this moment ensures open combat in the streets</strong>. You’re gonna get more people killed! It may mean the death of America.</p>
<p>Trust me, it will be one helluva fight.</p>
<p>Pass the word. Your life, the lives of your children and the life of America depend on it!</p>
<p>Obama is my sworn enemy! Make him yours!</p>
<p>There isn’t more for me to say on any topic. It’s about Treason.</p></blockquote>
