A WORD FROM THE LORD OF WHAT IS KEEPING THE BODY OF CHRIST FROM HIS FULLNESS On the 22nd of September 2009 I received this word of revelation concerning the body of Christ . . . Why am I shedding tears ? These are tears of remission ,They have come close as babyl yet not entered into a oneness with me ,You see " I AM The Good Shepherd " and there can be no other for I AM the Way , The Truth and The Life ... And no man comes unto the father but by Me ! ALL...

Ordinary measures will not do any more , For I have swung wide the door , Warfare that is behind shall stay there , I am raising you to new levels of warfare , An understanding beyond my heavenly hosts , What I am about to release to you not even my arch angel Michael can boast , But a depth , a knowing farther than you now see \o/ , You shall go behind enemy lines and their encampments you shall see , Their plots and schemes , their strategy from a god's eye view , And even their...

" Pursuent " . Remain pursuent my children of my will alone and you shall fall upon the wings of my shoulders (Deut 33:12) abiding in my voice and love for I shall not only speak to you here (Exodus 25:22) but dress you in my righteousness as I call you My Beloved and I shall make all known to you that I am doing in these last days on Earth as it is in Heaven , for my guiding light of love I have bestowed upon you in my Son and he shall be your path and light as...

GOP to rebrand Dems as 'socialists' By: Roger Simon May 13, 2009 04:32 AM EST A member of the Republican National Committee told me Tuesday that when the RNC meets in an extraordinary special session next week, it will approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the “Democrat Socialist Party.” When I asked if such a resolution would force RNC Chairman Michael Steele to use that label when talking about Democrats in all his speeches and press releases, the RNC member replied: “Who cares?” Which pretty much sums up the attitude some members of the RNC have toward their chairman these...

Fifty Years of Math 1959 - 2009 (in the USA ) Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help...while he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because...

In The Gulag Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn noted that Shakespeare's evildoers were content to commit only a handful of murders. They stop killing, Solzhenitsyn explained, because "they have no ideology." This pithy observation succinctly distinguishes Macbeth from mass executioners Stalin, Mao, Che and Saddam. But what explains the curious fact that intellectuals can apply critical thinking to the study of Shakespeare's murderers, while ideological massacrists inspire -- in leftists -- the very opposite: a lapse in critical thinking so egregious that it amounts to a pathology?

Thanks for viewing! This short video is based on a true event that happened on a US Navy liberty boat- (top railing), going on liberty from the USS Kitty Hawk CVA-63 to NAS San Diego California in the fall of 1967. The little bumblebee appeared to be dead and was blown aboard and landed in front of my eyes on the top railing. I prayed a short prayer and the bee jumped up and flew away. Not one sparrow falls or dies without our heavenly father knowing and also not one bee. Jesus the Lord really cares for YOU and...

Warming up a crowd in North Carolina Saturday, Republican Rep. Robin Hayes offered the diagnosis that “liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.” His remarks came shortly after he had said he would “make sure we don’t say something stupid, make sure we don’t say something we don’t mean.” Hayes had followed Rep. Patrick McHenry, also a North Carolina Republican, who laid out the choice between McCain and Obama. “It’s like black and white,” yelled someone from the crowd. HT: ThinkProgress Update: Hayes spokeswoman, Amanda Little, says that Hayes absolutely denies making the comments that...

Rep. says 'Liberals hate real Americans' By: Ryan Grim October 21, 2008 02:26 PM EST Rep. Robin Hayes (R-N.C.), has conceded that he did tell a North Carolina crowd that "liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God," even though he initially denied making such a statement. Now he says he didn’t mean it that way, and he was just trying to rev up a campaign rally. “I genuinely did not recall making the statement and, after reading it, there is no doubt that it came out completely the wrong way. I actually was...

The mainstream media has justified ignoring this story based on a “conspiracy theory” chain email (politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/465) making the rounds from some African missionaries. Politifact.com examined the email—which claims Obama gave $1MM to Odinga’s campaign—and declared it “a pants on fire”. However, the underlying (more important issues) are verifiably true. In August and September 2006, Senator Barack Obama traveled to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Chad and Kenya as a congressional delegation of one (Codel Obama) (“Codel Obama” The Hill 9/7/2006) While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared at the side of fellow Luo Raila Odinga (“your agent for change’), who was...

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- "Please do not sit for too long every day to fool around with your personal computer," a Tainan surgeon warned yesterday. If you do, the chances are that you may get hemorrhoids. Known commonly as piles, hemorrhoids are swellings of veins in the lower rectum or anus, either internal (above the anal sphincter) or external (outside the sphincter). Frequently associated with constipation, straining to defecate, pregnancy, or prolonged sitting, hemorrhoids are often painful and sometimes bleed with defecation. Treatment includes topical agents to shrink and anesthetize the hemorrhoids, compresses, and if severe, ligation or surgical excision. Dr....

It Might Be True That 'Men Marry Their Mothers' ScienceDaily (May 7, 2008) — Whether a young man's mother earned a college degree and whether she worked outside the home while he was growing up seems to have an effect years later when he considers his ideal wife, according to a study by University of Iowa sociologist Christine Whelan. High-achieving men -- those who earn salaries in the top 10 percent for their age and/or have a graduate degree -- are highly likely to marry a woman whose education level mirrors their mom's. Nearly 80 percent of the high-achieving men...

FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas, March 27, 2008 – Gavin Cox could have traveled to any exotic locale or tried any profession in the world, but this 5-year-old with leukemia had just one wish: to be a soldier. Army Maj. Gen. Russell Czerw, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, installation commander, teaches 5-year-old Gavin Cox how to shoot an M-9 pistol at the ES 2000 weapons training facility. Gavin also trained on an M-16 rifle and walked away with a marksmanship badge. Photo by Ed Dixon   (Click photo for screen-resolution image);high-resolution image available.

True Story? Men Prefer 'Chick Flicks' When They Are Explicitly Fictionalized ScienceDaily (Jan. 10, 2008) — Characterized by a heart-tugging plot, emotional melodrama is a subtype of dramatic entertainment that fosters deep emotional reactions on the part of the consumer. Often labelled "chick-flicks," "tearjerkers," or "human interest stories," the importance of this form of entertainment is underscored by the popularity and success of movies like Titanic and the "Oprah Winfrey Show." However, despite the apparent popularity of melodramatic entertainment, scant academic attention has been paid to the genre. Now, new research examines emotional melodrama and finds a significant difference between...

The eldest children in families tend to develop slightly higher I.Q.s than their younger siblings, researchers are reporting, based on a large study that could effectively settle more than a half-century of scientific debate about the relationship between I.Q. and birth order.

I announced my candidacy for the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination with a speech at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on January 21, 2005. The common theme among ... candidates is "we need a true conservative" or "we need a Reagan conservative." I have two issues with this. First, this is the Republican primaries, every candidate is going to try to sound like Ronald Reagan and none of us is Mr. Reagan. Second, I believe we need a President who is more conservative than Ronald Reagan and I am that candidate.

Ubi Christus, ibi ecclesia And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 20:28 At the other end of the sea whose shore lies before us, by the Sils Maria, there is an inscription carved into a mighty stone, on a forested peninsula. The inscription reads "Friedrich Nietzsche" and above is the song of the deep midnight, from the Zarathustra who once originated in Sils Maria. Year after year Nietzsche had fled from the hustle of the world to the loneliness of this mountain vale, upon which at that time lay the deep...

BOGOTA, Colombia - After a two-year search among more than 300,000 candidates nationwide, Colombia on Thursday unveiled the new Juan Valdez, the country's iconic coffee ambassador to the world. His real name is Carlos Castaneda. Like his two predecessors, the 39-year-old sports the leather bag, bushy mustache and straw hat typical of rural Colombia where the world-famous arabica coffee is grown. But unlike those other Valdezes — who were played by a Cuban-born actor and a silk-screen artisan — Castaneda knows a thing or two about growing coffee. The oldest of 10 children born on a coffee farm, he picked...

For years, Sacramento wags have joked about “state Sen. Rudy Bermudez, D-California Correctional Peace Officers Association,” because the only thing the Norwalk lawmaker seems to care about is propping up the pay and benefits of prison guards. Given what happened this week in the Legislature, it is now just as proper to think of Sens. Don Perata, Debra Bowen and Gil Cedillo as being “D-California Teachers Association” – because their primary allegiance obviously isn't to Californians in general. This week Perata, Bowen and Cedillo killed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's nomination of David Crane, a highly regarded San Francisco financier, to the...

After months of tacit approval, Vermont Democrats made it official: Bernie Sanders is one of them, at least for this election season.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (Dec. 20, 2005) -- Most children grow up playing with trucks and tanks, but few of them have the chance to ever experience riding the “Iron Horse.” Thanks to the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Marines of 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, that experience came alive for six-year-old Brandon Rasnick of Lehigh Acres, Fla. Brandon, who was promoted to the rank of sergeant by his fellow Marines, has cystic fibrosis, a genetic lung disorder. Since his one wish was train with Marines and to “save the world,” the Marines of 2nd Tanks arranged a...

Sifting through hundreds of bills lawmakers sent to his desk at the end of the session, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger provided fresh evidence that he is a maverick who will never satisfy either the left or the right wings of California politics. On labor, business and fiscal issues, the governor tilts right. On the environment, he leans left. On social issues, his instincts go left but are tempered by the legal and political realities he confronts. He is not so much a consistent centrist as a mix of conservative and liberal positions, an eclectic combination of views that makes him a...

Last week, I outlined the problem of the age: the incompatibility of Islam with a multicultural West that hides away inconvenient history and disturbing doctrine under layers of political correctness. Without stripping them off to examine the problem, all we get is a lot of wishful thinking. Historian Niall Ferguson, writing in the London Telegraph on the intensifying "Muslim colonization" of Europe, has decided that such "demographic shifts" are not "invariably a bad thing." After all, seven centuries of jihad-imposed dhimmitude for infidels in Muslim Spain gave us the Alhambra, or something. It's that pesky "ideology" of conquest that follows...

The Bay Bridge retrofit contractor's new spokesman is a political public-relations heavy hitter with a national reputation for digging up dirt on embattled clients' critics. Chris Lehane, 37, helped the Clinton White House spin the Whitewater investigation, spoke for Vice President Al Gore on the 2000 presidential campaign trail and advised former Gov. Gray Davis during the 2001 energy crisis and 2002 gubernatorial campaign. Now he's working for KFM Joint Venture, the contractor building the Bay Bridge's new eastern span. The Oakland Tribune has reported welders' accusations that many of the project's welds are defective and that unsafe working conditions...

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics: 1. For no reason...

We live in a time when what is left is right, what is good is bad, what is up is down, and what is true is false. This is a period of our history unmatched in its preponderance of mind-control mechanisms meant to manipulate public opinion and fool people into believing what is black is white, what is white is black, and gray is all that matters. Every day I hear people parrot what they ingest from the mainstream media, foolishly believing they are informed and are paying attention. I learned some time ago that lies and deception are not...

   by Grace MacKinnon Other Articles by Grace MacKinnonContact this Author True Food and True Drink 12/14/04 Dear Grace, Some of my friends have questioned me about why and how I can believe that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Host which we receive at Communion in Mass. Sometimes I am not sure exactly how to explain it well enough so that it will be understood. Can you help? It is true that some people consider the Catholic Church’s belief about the Eucharist to be totally unbelievable and almost outrageous. Catholics actually believe that when a priest, during the Eucharistic...

New York Post Gossip columnist Cindy Adams has a short item as the lead today. "CNN rumors up the kazoo. One concerns Dan Rather signing for their 8 o'clock news." In the past, Rather has expressed admiration for CNN's news resources and free air time. Three years ago in an interview with CNN's Larry King, Rather joked about being interested in hosting a primetime interview show with former president Bill Clinton. "You talked about what President Clinton is going to do. How do you feel about a talk show that had President Clinton and myself on a national talk...

The propaganda wing of the Democratic Party and Kerry campaign tried to stick it to the Bush Administration yet again with another concocted story. Dan Rather, of course, was readying to trash Bush with a Halloween trick on what is still euphemistically called CBS News, but the New York Times scooped him. One would think that these media morons would at least ask around within their own ranks before running stories that later make them look like the biased fools they really are. But no, these rabid lefties are chomping at the bit to "get" bush. Therefore, honor, ethics and...

Mysterious pottery shows true face of first Pacific settlers Staring out from an ancient piece of pottery, the mysterious face of a bearded man has given scientists a unique glimpse of what the first settlers of Fiji may have looked like. Researchers say the "extraordinary discovery" is a vital clue in mapping out how the South Pacific came to be inhabited some 3,000 years ago, suggesting the first direct link to islands some thousands of kilometres away. Thought to be the work of the Lapita people - a long-lost race which originated near modern-day Taiwan then migrated to Polynesia -...

A True American Patriot… Written by JB Williams ©2004-10-20 The word patriot seems to get tossed around a lot today. Nearly everyone claims the title, especially anyone running for public office. But the word patriot has one of the shortest, most precise definitions in the English language, and I suspect that’s so, to avoid mistaking who actually qualifies and who doesn’t… The definition of patriot is simply, “One who loves, supports, and defends one's country”, and being one is just as simple, though not always easy… To avoid any confusion on this matter, or any appearance of bias, we better...

Sen. John Kerry’s long and sordid past of association with defaming American soldiers, voting against needed weapon systems, voting to cut funding to American intelligence agencies and negotiating with America’s enemies continues to be the past that Kerry would like the voters to forget. This is an email-able, copyright-ready graphic you can use in emails, on blogs, in flyers, on posters... anything that's noncommercial.

Just heard on AM 870 out here in the High Desert of CA that Bush's Yale GPA was Higher than Kerry's is this true. Does anyone know or can anyone find out? If so, I have all the talking points I'll ever need.

The True Origins of Terrorism: Interview with Dr. Joseph Douglass By: Ryan Mauro tdcanalyst@optonline.net RM: What countries were the most involved in the creation of the current terrorist threat we face? JD: The most important nation, the granddaddy of terrorism, is Russia. Russia adopted international terrorism as a strategic intelligence operation in 1955. It organized schools for terrorists, terrorist training camps, coordination conferences and much more. Next to Russia is China. Although not so prominent, nevertheless China was one of the major actors on this stage. There is hardly a communist or former communist nation that was not involved. North...

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Two years after a failed coup against President Hugo Chavez, the opposition's bitter and often bloody effort to oust him culminates in a recall vote Sunday. The former military commander, who himself led a failed coup in 1992, insists he will win the referendum and keep his job. But the real winner may be Venezuela's shaky democracy, with voters getting a chance to decide their country's future "This is a victory for the constitution, for the people, for democracy," Chavez said Saturday, promising to respect the results "no matter what they are." The leftist leader, who...

Dutch Center-Right Coalition Stands up to Islamism By Andrew L. Jaffee, July 22, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and his center-right coalition are standing up to Islamism, the true enemy of all civilized nations in the 21st century. Balkenende said Muslim groups “were sowing hatred, and [he] promised new anti-terror measures” in a speech to the European Parliament yesterday. On February 18 of this year, Dutch lawmakers promised to expel approximately 26,000 asylum seekers after digesting a parliamentary report which concluded … that the country's 30-year experiment in tolerant multiculturalism had been a failure, and has...

Tonight's Grammy awards could turn into one long anti-war protest, judging by the parties leading up to the event. "Tell Mr. President we don't want war," Wyclef Jean told a cheering crowd during a rendition of Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry," at Friday's "Tinseltown to Gotham" party at Cipriani 42nd Street. Asked why American soldiers shouldn't oust Saddam, since they rid Wyclef's Haitian homeland of "Baby Doc" Duvalier, the singer told us: "The United States and Haiti always had a relationship." At the pre-Grammy bash thrown by designer Nicole Miller, Faith Evans boldly declared, "War is the pits. I...

Exposing children to second-hand smoke is tantamount to child abuse, the Canadian Lung Association says. In a controversial statement released yesterday to mark Non-Smoking Week, the venerable charitable organization called on parents to stop smoking in the home because they are endangering the health of their children. "Children who are exposed to second-hand smoke are victims in their own homes -- the very environment that is supposed to be safe and protective," said Noel Kerin, an occupational and environmental medicine specialist and medical spokesman for the lung association. "Second-hand smoke is damaging to a child's health and is tantamount to...

The Midwest This is for all my FRiends out here in the solid, conservative Heartland... Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners and Californians cross the 12 Midwestern States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin) the Tourism Councils in those states have adopted a new policy. In an effort to help outsiders understand the rural Midwesterner's mind, the following list will be handed to each person as they enter any Midwestern State. 1.
