Education is Easy!

Image
What do reading, prison, classes, and crime have to do with each other? If a child does not learn to read, he will very likely end up in prison, remain in a low poor class, and live a life of crime. Anyone CAN learn to read! In the early days of America - those wonderful days before compulsory education - everyone who wanted to make it in life and wanted to become who God created them to be....  learned to read. Literacy rates in America were about 98%. Reading was something that set an American apart from other Nations. And reading broke the caste system of classes, of the have and the have nots, of the lords and the serfs, of the ruling/power families and the masses of population. To Read was to be free - and it still is! Do you want to stop poverty? Do you want to keep people out of prison? Do you want to stop having forced lower class? Do you want to stop crime? Teach a person to Read! Schools - when they did develop because frankly they were not a necessity - were in t

Is America Still A Racial Country?

Image
I have hesitated a few times to type this, but I can't keep quiet any longer. I am so tired of hearing people accuse anyone who doesn't support our current president to be a racist. It simply is not true! How many times the past three years have you heard Americans being accused by public "characters" as being racist?  Do Americans you know judge the ability of a person to do their job or to be a leader based on skin color? Do you? Would you refuse to have a person of different color skin be your boss, teacher, leader, neighbor? Do you look at the color of the people sitting in a church or restaurant and sit by people that match your skin color? Would you decide to or not to vote on a candidate totally based on the pigment color of the skin? Clearly there are people who are racist. People taught to hate by their parents and that continue to hate others that are not like themselves. What kind of people vote for only people of their skin color? What kind of person wo

Are We One Race Under God?

Image
Racism is evil at its core. It is the concept that one person is superior to another. It has the pride of life at its seed. Satan's sin was his pride - Racism is based in such pride. Do you determine a person's value or ability by their skin color, their nationality, or their language? Or do you believe every single person is wonderfully and beautifully created? Racism breeds in societies that devalue people. Oh, the powerful, the rich, .... they have value.... but the average joe? Is any child born average or below average? Stop right there! Do you realize that there is NO "average joe"?  Did God ever create an average person? NO! Are you average? What about your children? Are you uniquely made? No child was ever born average... think long and hard about this point. Racism implies that people can be sorted by some characteristic. The characteristic is outward. It can be easily viewed by others. So what are humans? Are we our flesh and blood? Is that our soul

Is Jesus a Christian?

Image
Jesus is not a Christian. Does that surprise you? If so read on.... A Christian is a follower of Christ. Jesus is the Christ! He is the Messiah who came into the world to bring life. Everyone who believes in Him as My true Son and their own personal Savior, are forgiven of their sins and are given the gift of eternal life in Heaven. Jesus came into the world --born a Jew, and died for the Jews. He is the one and only Jewish Messiah. Through Jesus, I fulfilled My promise to Abraham to allow Him to be a blessing to all the Nations by showing the way to forgiveness of sin and everlasting life. Abraham was faithful and righteous because he was obedient to My call on His life. He became the lineage through which I would bring salvation and reconciliation to the world.   After Jesus died on the cross, He was buried, and three days later - just as He foretold to the Jewish leader of His day - He rose. His body, temple of God, raised in three days. When He rose from the dead, the eternal l

BREATHE - It reduces stress!

Image
Most women are pretty good at multi-tasking because we use both sides of the brain simultaneously unlike most men. But we also commonly put ourselves in high stress situations thinking we can handle it all. Slow down and BREATHE You may be cooking, remember you need to make an appointment. You put the food in the oven and another dish in the microwave, and pick up the phone to make the call. You don't have the number logged in so you go to find the phone number. The baby starts to cry or someone knocks at the door. The buzzer goes off on the microwave.... and then the dog or cat knocks over your grandmother's vase. Yes, this is a normal day for the average mom. And it causes tremendous stress that effects the body in negative physical ways. Stress - everyday stress - can damage our heart, arteries and cause heart disease. The release of the hormone of adrenaline flowing continually makes these changes in your body, but there are ways to reduce stress once it has started. Y

The Gospel - Plain and Simple

Image
God promises are true - He is faithful. Jesus told his disciples to share the Good News. It was a plain and simple request, and so is the message: God created the earth, its atmosphere, water, land, animals, birds, fish, plants and people. People are a special creation of God, not an animal or a plant, but a human made in the image of God. People live for all eternity. Everything was perfect on earth. In heaven a revolt was taking place after creation. The highest angel, Lucifer, was not content serving God his creator. Lucifer wanted to be comparable to God, to be his own god. God sent Lucifer from heaven and with him one third of the angels of heaven followed to be cast out of heaven. Lucifer, who became known as Satan or the Devil, went to earth to destroy what God had created. He knew to get back at God for punishing him and casting him out of heaven he would focus on killing and bringing great suffering to God's special creation, humans. Satan tricked Eve to disobey G

Apple says Christians are "objectionable and potentially harmful"

Image
This is my letter I sent to Steve Jobs and Apple: Dear Steve Jobs and Apple: Apple has wonderful products. It is one of the few companies that still produce QUALITY items. And I love supporting USA companies. Apple statement Against Christians! It greatly saddens me that the Manhattan Declaration has been told that Christians are objectionable and potentionally harmful. Frankly anyone with a strong believe can be considered objectionable to those who don't agree. I find much material, shows, movies, songs, books, people and groups to be objectionable to me and my values, but I don't want to censor or squash their right to freedom of speak and expression.  And sadly, everyone can be potentionally harmful. While we all want to be considered kind, loving, caring, we all have within us the ability to harm ourselves and others.  Let me make this clear. I have been a believer in God through Jesus for over 25 years. I am opinionated but I am trying to learn to speak in love, and I

Are Americans Under Law or Under God?

Image
Every person as an individual has to make a choice whom they will serve? But interestingly every Nation must make that choice also? No other choice is available. If you do not live under God's grace you, you live under man-made law. Under God is also called "natural law" or "common law" which includes all the rights given by God's grace. When America began it is a firm fact that the foundational documents, diaries, journals, letters, and all other recorded material shows the people who united together to create our Nation chose to be under God. Since this was their choice, they gave every limited powers to the Federal government listing and enumerating powers given. The Federal government was designed to be weak in its ability to control the people or the States. The main reason Federal government was needed was to protect our borders from attacking enemies, to protect trade with foreign nations, and to pay off  debt incurred by the American Revolutiona
