Obama-gate - "Executive Privilege" keeps His Birth Certificate in safe

Image
Two days ago Chris Matthews said the most obvious statement and declaration for 2011.... would be for Barak Obama to just go ahead and show his long form birth certificate. NYTIMES poll states 23% of Americans are not sure where Obama was born and 20% feel sure he was not an American. I hesitate to claim this but I agree with Christ Matthews.... go ahead Obama show your long form of your birth certificate, and while you are at it, let's see college records, social security numbers, childhood friends, Harvard Thesis, passports, "also-known-as" (aka), and anything else that might give us transparent background on who Obama is. "Obama-gate" regarding his birth certificate is a matter of LAW, not opinion or feelings. Photo in taken while I was in Kenya (one of my very favorite!) Quite frankly, I am happy that we finally have an man in office that to many represents African Americans, just as I would be happy to one day have a female in the office of Presiden

The Greatest Blog Ever

Image
Do you want the greatest blog ever? I have been taught by many very knowledgeable people "in the business" a few points: Keep it Short . When you write a post keep it under 400 words. "No one reads anything long." Stay to the point . Don't ramble. Pick a topic and stick with it. No rabbit chasing. Focus. Make it applicable. People want to read what they can use or relate with for a purpose. Ask a question. If you end with a question, you are more likely to receive comments. Give away something . People love contest and love to win something for free! Post Regularly. People are more likely to read your blog if it has a scheduled date for publishing. Stay with your blog theme. People will sign up for your blog if the theme interest them. Keep post positive and encouraging . No one wants to feel beat up or ready to fight after reading it. Proof before you post. Reading your blog out loud to yourself is very helpful in catching errors. So, those are

Lighting Little Candles - Hanukkah

Image
Jesus Is Love - God Is Love - Jesus Is God So, I being a "eager beaver" or a "bird brain" thought I would breeze through writing a snappy article about Hanukkah... you know that simple little holiday Jewish people do around Christmas time. It goes on for 12 or so days and they give gifts to their children so they don't feel so left out during Christmas time , or so I thought. Yes, it has been around a lot longer than Kwanza (something I NEVER heard of until 10 years or so) but isn't it about lights and gifts and having your own holiday, too. Well, back to Hanukkah, the candle lighting holiday . God always has a sense of humor when we think we know all about something and we can be sure if we are His child He is getting ready to feed us a little humble pie. Thank God, I love to research, dig, and uncover the first original documentation to be most accurate as possible in my writing. I know I will make errors in writing but I want to the best of my abi

Blending Family Traditions

Image
First Generation Christian Families have a unique opportunity to establish meaningful family traditions. Coming together to become one, the husband and wife bring traditions from two differing families, particularly if one or more are non-Christian. Blending family traditions and creating your very own can be both exciting and intimidating. Communication is the key, not only listening to each other’s words but being sensitive to the unspoken, the language of our hearts. God Is The Center of Our Family Guilt and shame are often the first thoughts that come to my mind when I hear “family traditions.” Before I had children, even before I married, I longed for happy, meaningful, family traditions. My childhood home had multiple horror stories associated with holidays and the traditions my family kept. Each year we also had a variety of violent abuse from my father, triggered by the slightest unpredictable incident. Drinking, mixed with midnight mass, fear restraining tears, and on

Narcissitic Personality Disorder

 Everyday it seem President Obama stirs up more hatred, division, and takes credit for all good throughout the world. I just heard Obama on a staged Youth Show (On Demand Comcast - Barak Obama's own channel) take credit for helping the Chile get the miners out of the mine. I think I am going to loss my mind. Pray, p[ray, pray. Look at this description of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.... How do you think President Obama rates? Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:(Mayo Clinic) Believing that you're better than others Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness Exaggerating your achievements or talents Expecting constant praise and admiration Believing that you're special and acting accordingly Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans Taking advantage of others Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior Being jealous of others Believing that othe

Go To The Back Of The Bus

Do not ignore what is happening these days in America! Educate yourself! Be aware.  Obama's legacy will certainly be one of hate. No president in American history has ever so hated so many American people in general as a group as Obama. He hates people who are not dark skin, if they don't also hate America for the dark skin people being oppressed by the white. Yesterday, Obama speaking about Republicans and those voting republican rallied, “It's time you sit in back of the bus ”. October 26, 2010. Clearly he is using such rhetoric to stir up racial tension, to insight activism, to anger racially motivated minorities to fear that a day may be coming when they again will be forced into submission, oppression, discrimination. Sadly, Obama is so isolated in his own world of belief he can not even hear his own words from other view point. He does not display the ability to empathize. He can not think like Americans. He can not understand liberty and justice for all. He c

Islam: Religion or Nation?

The headlines of the Murfreesboro, TN newspaper, The Daily News Journal, "DOJ: Islam is religion" is surely a catchy hook title that will sell papers, but is it accurate? U.S. Attorney Jerry E. Martin of Nashville, made it clear, to him, it is "quite simply ridiculous" to not treat Islam as a religion. He is expressing his views because there is a case currently in court about whether Islam is a recognized religion, due to Muslims (in Murfreesboro and beyond) want to build a huge Islamic Center of Murfreesboro (52,000 square feet!) on the corner in a one of the town's residential areas. Yes, yes, there will be a little mosque surrounded by a ball field, swimming pool, meeting convention halls, and so much more... like a little Islam City. Is it normal for a US Attorney, of the Department of Justice, to publicly comment on a case currently in court? I thought they usually waited until the case moved up to higher courts to keep their bias out of lower court de

Living Life in the Zone - Scores High!

Image
Kyle Rote Jr. and Dr. Joe Pettigrew, authors of Living Life In The Zone , have written a book worth buying and reading. In the times we live in when authors are trying so hard to have a wide audience appeal by being spiritually all-inclusive and encouraging easy believism, it is refreshing to read a Biblically sound well-organized and very informative book for men. The book is a 40 day spiritual game plan for men. I guarantee it will be hard to find a man that wont be able to relate to the topics, sports stories or solutions for practical daily needs. This book hits home fast with focusing attention on the first day with making personal time with God. I love a book that doesn't beat around the bush and take 30 chapters to slowly sneak in that the goal of the book. This book is clearly written to help men develop a real personal relationship with God and to live a life of sacrificial obedience to Him. The priorities of wife, children, friends follow in proper order as the book pre

The Executive and The Elphant Book Needs Warning Label

Image
The Executive and The Elephant is a book written to leaders aiming to not only help them identify problems they personally have in leadership but to teach how to resolve those problems. The information given in the book is very up to date with the latest developments in neurobiology, psychology and trends in pedagogy. The core theology taught is very old Hindu faith being newly discovered by author Richard Daft on a trip to India and blended with all sorts of other doctrine, spirituality and philosophy. He quotes Apostle Paul's teaching in the Bible, Chinese Zen Masters,Gandhi, Lord Buddha,and many others. If you are looking for a religious faith, and will to try any idea that passes by, instead of seeking for truth, and a personal relationship with Creator God, you may have found your perfect book. If you consider yourself a Christian believer, even in the mildest degree for you this book should have a big warning label: Caution This Book May Mislead or Delude! Richard Daft tr

Stand in God

Image
I received an email this morning. A local neighborhood is being burglarized. The crimes are increasing and the criminals are becoming more brazen not caring if someone is home making family feel scared, especially stay-a-home families. Prepare for War! We are Spiritual Warriors! My certain response is "We need to stand in God"! I am asking concerned family members to come together in a spirit-filled prayer walk. This was my letter of reply: Kristine, I think those who are interested (including children) need to gather quickly and go on a prayer walk through the neighborhood. It would be nice if we make little door hangers to put on each house front door knob and to tell them we are covering them in prayer. I would be glad to make these. "In the name of Jesus and by the blood of Christ" is the prayer request to the Lord. We need to be bold and go before the throne, and ask God to send His Warrior Angels to guard and protect this neighborhood. I strongl

The Word of Promise Delights

Image
The first Bible I picked out for myself over 26 years ago was a Thomas Nelson New King James Version, and I have always loved it. I was so delighted that The Words of Promise New Testament audio was the NKJV. For people unfamiliar with this version of the Bible it is a translation from the work of the original King James Version that has created the standard for Biblical accuracy. Extraordinary Audio Bible The poetic and familiar phraseology loved by many die-heart KJV fans will be surprised to know the NKJV holds true to words translation and syntax. This is very important to many who love to hear the Bible as they have known it from childhood, or at least since they have been a Christian. This set of audio CDs are amazing quality, so enjoyable to hear with some of the best trained voices that not only transmit the words of the Bible but often the passion, and emotion, and life of the Word. I highly recommend this set of audio CDs. Anyone who loves God's Word or who would

I Can SEE!

Image
Teenagers struggle with a phenomena deteriorating their vision.  The sensory input of their eyes do not compute brain activity into producing willful action. Many teens have been reported to say they didn't even see to begin with and therefore their brain was unable to pick of the visual data. I have found a solution in my home that is working with astonishing results. I am using the "I Can See" glasses. When I notice with my eagle parent eyes that underwear is crumbled on the bathroom floor for days, empty used up milk cartons are resting on the refrigerator shelf, dirty dishes are becoming science laboratories in secret spots of bedrooms, I present my teen with something special, the "I Can See" glasses. I help them place these dark rimmed glasses on their face and ask them to look and see if they find something that needs to be done. Without error, these special glasses have been able to help my teens' eyes narrow in on objects that are not where t

Sunday Sights

Have you seen a church lately? The beautiful Bride of Christ. Do you know her? Does she know you? She isn't a building, an organization, a business or a religion. She is the blushing Bride, the pride and joy of Jesus. She is living, growing, and in love with her Jesus. Are you committed to His Bride? Do you know Jesus? Have you seen His precious Bride? Do you spend time with her, help her, commit to being a friend to her for life? You say, you have heard about Jesus... but you haven't seen Him lately with His Bride. You've visited a local church but something was not right about  about Her... something was missing, like she wasn't a complete Body. She just did seem to act like she knew and belonged to Jesus. She needs your help. God gifted you so you could offer Her your specialty. Without you she will never be fully what God intended Her to be. She is living, growing, changing. Seasons come and then they go. She will never be the same. I longed to know Her a

Blogs Runneth Over

Image
We will never thirst for want of more blogs. Blogs runneth over! One Among Many My heart was opened anew today as I stumbled upon a truly literary achievement in a blog. Legal Intrusion is a first rate blog. While I played around with poetry in high school, this author has mastered the beauty of this skill that only a few rare souls ever accomplish. While I was clicking around on this site's favorites, I came upon many more highly talented bloggers. The best of these bloggers are not commercial and probably not highly traveled in site traffic, but they are still simply precious elements of our world today. I hunt in antique stores for just the perfect 100 year old or later book. Wonder if these blogs will remain in time and space for someone 100 years from now - if the Lord tares - to discover. Will our best work during this generation be lost in web-land... filled away on some sector .... pushed back in a dark crevice of a server? Or will these gems be erased - like old

Devoted to Devotions

Image
Today I am blessed to share this link:   Lindy Abbott at Godly Gals A few weeks ago I wrote a devotional for an amazing lady that has hosted a year of Godly Gals to her website. I hope you enjoy everything you find on her site.  Devotions have found me. I did not find them. Well, that is not totally correct. I guess a long time ago, many, many years ago... I wanted to express what I was experiencing about God but had so little time being a mom of young children... this is way before blogging or facebook... in the stone-ages of emailing! I would send out an email once a week to a bunch of people who probably wished I would stop. Do you remember the days of mass emailing? Now I am mostly bombarded by mass company emailing that I detail as soon as I see it. Pouring - Both Emotional Tears & God into Me As column writer Take, Root and Write website, I was asked to try my hand at a devotional column. God has a funny way of getting us to do things we would never do without his

Out With The Old

Image
Do you have junk? Not the kind inside your soul, but in your personal surroundings. Do you ever think about how stuff can weigh you down, hold you back, keep you from being all that God created you to be? Old Items with New Purpose This is exactly what God is teaching me. I went on a craze, almost a passionate obsession of seeing everything as re-usable. It sounds really green to be recycling old things into new usable items, and a lot of fun. My only problem is a kept picking up broken, discarded, unwanted items and saw a purpose for them, a new life. (Sounds like some people I know, llike me...) Maybe that is why I had such an overall compassion for seeing the good in what most regarded as trash. But collecting trash, old, broken, worn-out, needy things doesn't work if you never have the time or energy to spend with each item to allow it to become a usable treasure. It just stays junk. I think God is showing me quite a few spiritual applications in my life, but I don'

The Greatest of These

Image
Enjoying a day with my husband of 26 years is something I don't get enough of during this stage of our raising teens life, but yesterday I was with him and he poked fun at me being the only person in the world that would be as excited about reading a 1917 book I found in an antique store. I unofficially call myself a historian, because I LOVE to read real life accounts of people - not fiction, but true impressions of life as they lived it. I know no better way to experience history in its purest form. And in turn to gain a deeper understanding of what the world must have been like with an eye witness account. The author, Owen Wister. The book, The Penecost of Calamity. The topic, Germany before and right after world war I. The insight, Hatred was the motivation. And what was the creed of the German people, their declaration of faith, of decades to be only ratified by actions of destruction of human life... "The German claim must be: Educate to hate.... Organization of

How Much To Share?

Image
 I have been doing some contemplating. Anyone that knows me deeply is now rolling eyes and possibly fallen off their chair and about the ground... because that is an understatement of my life... contemplating... Bits of Information Mulling Around Do others mull as much as I? I do not know because I only really know what goes on in my own soul. Thoughts, ideas, passion... are ever moving... like dough being kneaded over and over... given time to rise in thought and then punched down to rise again... Do you constantly do this too? It is not that I doubt my soul. It is that my receptors are usually open, taking in odd bits of information, sensing all about inside and out, and trying to let what doesn't grab me pass along to another day or time. How much do you share? Do you think it is a result of what you take in ....  think about... read... see? Are am I an endless circle of data on overload? Thinking too much about thinking...

Friends Again - Finding Golden Friends

Image
“Make new friends, but keep the old; one is silver and the other is gold.” As a little girl I sang this traditional Girl Scout song. Long after the meetings, campfires, and badges are a distant memory of my life, I recall singing with a smile on my face and a warmness in my heart, but as a child its lasting value evaded my understanding. Every occasion presents a new opportunity for God to bring spiritual blessings to our life. We should live life always expecting, in anticipation of what God is going to do. Just a few weeks ago, I stood in the church parking lot so hurt, sharing my heart, crushed by a person in church who lacked grace. After listening, my wise pastor told me not to worry about it, that the person did lack grace, but to hold on because "God is doing a new thing!" Those few words gave me hope to hang my heart on as I walked to my car smiling knowingly repeating those words inside... "God is doing a new thing!" As Christians we are c

Houston, We Have A Problem!

Image
Houston, We have a problem! But it may also be the beginning of the solution, if Americans will pay attention and wake up to what Obama is doing to the United States of America. On April 15, 2010 President Barak Obama spoke at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. He vowed an additional $6 billion into NASA's budget over the next five years while halting a project to resume lunar missions known as the Constellation Program. This program intended to be the next space craft to carry equipment to the moon to make human space travel deeper into space more likely providing a launching site for more distant mission. After his speech, details of what specific programs were going to be selected for this additional $6 billion in NASA funding. Little did we know at that time what all this newly appropriated money was going to be funding. NASA administrator Charles Bolden says President Obama has ordered him to pursue three new objectives: When I became the NASA Administrator —

The Spirit of America

Image
The true Spirit of America has not been seen for many years, but it is not dead. Most "mom and pop"s have been distracted working hard to raising their family. They were busy going to ball games, celebrating family occasions, improving in their jobs, and making sure their children got a good education. The Spirit of America by those currently in power in Washington DC is totally misunderstood and underestimated. Daniel Webster rightly noted: "God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it." Simple everyday people, your neighbor, friend, and co-worker, have not taken time to be involved in politics because they didn't seek power over others, scheme to steal money from citizens and fellow neighbors, desire to give working people's money to those who would not work, think it was necessary to keep the already green planet green, or to make a fortune keeping the frozen ice caps frozen. They made sure their children had n

Who is Keeping Minorities "Under Their Thumb"?

Today, July 4, 2010 Americans equally protected under our constitutional law celebrate being a citizen of a great country and heroic past of laboring steadfastly to gain and keep freedoms. But there are those in America today that feel they have been excluded from the hope of the "American Dream," and I say rightly so. Many minorities in our country are being held down to menial odds of truly experiencing life, liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness. Who is keeping the minorities "under their thumb"? Read on to find out. Look to the people in power who want to give a handout instead of a hand up. As long as they give a handout (welfare type programs) they can keep people groups under their control. If you want a person to have equal opportunity you teach the person how to fish, you don't give them a fish a day. Who is pushing to keep citizens, especially poor, dependent on those in power, instead of teaching them how to become independent and free? Who r
