dennisqA Word From The Admins
Am I the only one out here whom believes that the best way to cut government spending and balance the budget is to issue a pay cut to our legislatures? In the private sector people are expected to preform to a minimal level to expect to be replaced. Some companies, the employees are taking a cut to keep the company from going bankrupt. Cutting the prescription payments to pharmacist is forcing them to take a cut or turn away patents they have been serving for years. Let our congress take a 1% cut, take away the unlimited sick days, I get 5, that should be more than enough for them. Last I counted, there are 52 weeks in a year, I’m expect to be at work 47 of them (16 years gives me a good vacation), i haven’t counted them, but I’m inclined to think they are in session 5 weeks a year. Excluded from laws which would leave me in hot water for years and lifetime medical benefits after just one term. Lets stop the madness. Now is the time and this is the place, change tomorrow, today.

Twas the night Jesus came and all through the house,
not a person was praying – not one in the house.
The Bible was left on the shelf without care,
for no one thought Jesus would come there.
The children were dressing to crawl into bed,
not once ever kneeling or bowing their head.
Mom in the rocking chair with babe on her lap,
she was watching the ‘Late Show’ as I took a nap.
When out of the east there rose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutters and lifted the sash.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but Angels proclaiming that Jesus was here.
The light of His face made me cover my head,
was Jesus returning just like He’d said?
Though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth,
I cried when I saw Him – in spite of myself.
In the ‘Book of Life’ which He held in His hand,
was written the name of every saved man.
He spoke not a word as He searched for my name,
when He said, “It’s not here!” my head hung in shame.
The people whose names had been written with Love,
He gathered to take to His Father above.
With those who were ready He rose without sound,
while all the others were left standing around.
I fell to my knees – but it was too late,
I’d waited too long and thus sealed my fate!
I stood and cried as they rose out of sight,
Oh, if only I’d known that this was the night.
In the words of this poem the meaning is clear,
THE COMING OF JESUS IS NOW DRAWING NEAR!
There’s only one life and when comes the last call,
we’ll find out the Bible was TRUE after all!

dennisq"Not my will, but thine.", A Word From The Admins, Open
It has come time for me to re-evaluate my path for the up coming years. Calling into question the substance of my faith and belief I am taking some time for prayer. Meditating on the written word and waiting patently for God to guide me in His path of righteousness. Part of me finds it hard to deny the path of the enlightened in believing that religion was created by man to explain the things happening. With our technological advances explaining the mechanics of such things as lightning and earthquakes, that might seem to nullify the need to believe in a higher power. Keeping my head clear, plunging myself into prayer, worship and study, I hope to clear my mind.

9/11 Remembered and Honored.
Whom here among the multitude of people of this country and around the world remember that fateful day in September of 2001? I was driving into work that morning concerned about a stalled car on the freeway. I turned on the radio to the local all news station to hear if the car had already been reported. The first thing I hear is the national alert tone and the emergency broadcast mandating all New York City police and fire personal report for duty. I modern re-enactment of “War Of The Worlds” I pondered. As I listened to the events unfold, I begun to realize this was no radio drama, Two jets had in fact crashed into the Worlds Trade Buildings. My heart sank and I prayed for a minimal loss of life.
In the following; days, weeks, months, I witnessed a whole country rally under its national flag, stand as one united with a common bond and the faith of its people renewed. The name of the Father in Heaven was raised to the sky and The American flew high and proud. Today I’m saddened to learn that there will be no public prayer at “Ground Zero” for the Ten year memorial of that terrible day just a few short years ago. Have we lost all to political correctness?
Even I walk a fine line not to offend too many people, but there is the truth, ask and I will explain as best as I understand the issue. But this country was founded on a belief in a supreme Creator, commonly referred to as GOD (the Everlasting Father in Heaven), Yahweh and Jehovah. I can be sure there are many more names for the Exalted One, then way would the Mayor of New York forbid all clergy from publicly praying at “Ground Zero”?
Exert from an Email from American Family Association:
“But New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has banned all clergy and all prayer from the upcoming 9/11 memorial service planned to commemorate the tragic events of that day. “
(Click here for full text from the American Family Association)
Lets not fall to the wayside, pray fervently for our country, its leaders and the people that all may seek the wisdom and giudance of the Lord God and Father in Heaven before making the decisions that effect so many people in this proud county of ours. GOD BLESS AMERICA and everyone loves Him who is the author of all life.

“It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to have to paint it.” – Comedian, Seven Wright.
This world of ours spins in tighter circles than we think. Never in my life would I have ever thought the people whom I served with a joyful heart would be serving myself. For a couple years a served at my church in the children’s ministry as a very part time child care provider for toddlers age walking to about Two years old so that their mothers might attend bible study classes.
Over the years, many of the families have found membership in other churches, yet, some of the mothers remember the man whom, “Took good care of their children”. Recently; as a I arrived at a local church for food and fellowship with local homeless friends; I was blessed to have been recognized one such mother of two children whom I haven’t seen in over five years. Though awkward, it brought joy to my heart to know the small impact I made on their lives had not gone forgotten.
I could borrow a cliche like, “What goes around comes around” or “Treat others as you would have them treat yourself”. I prefer, “You reap what you so” and “But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Call it karma or whatever you’d like, the bottom line is; the things we do or not, people we help and the people we hurt today will come back to us as a time best suited for it’s purpose. The Lord GOD in heaven above will chose to use our moments of indiscretion to teach us a life lesson or our good works to reward us at a time when it most needed.

Not the astrological sign, but rather the deadly malformation of human cells. Though it would appear the is little we can do to prevent its development, there are many groups working towards a cure for many, but they all need our help. Donations, charity walks and even prayers will go a long way towards finding a cure.

dennisqCount Your Many Blessings, GOD'S precious gift of life., Open friends, GOD, people, Thanksgiving, The Blessings in your life.
That special time of year is upon us again. Perhaps the only time of the year many of us take a moment to ponder what we are truly thankful for in our lives. Why is this? I think, perhaps we tend to forget what we are truly thankful to have or survived. The people we have known; whom have gone on before us, people whom have been a minor or integral part of our lives; have influenced our daily perspective of the world around us, were we thankful for the time we had them with us? Did we thank them for their daily influence in our lives? Too often we get warped up in our daily routines that we forget to acknowledge the people whom have molded us into what we have become. Are we thankful on a daily basis? Do we remember to give thanks? Perhaps one day before our souls leave our bodies and we gather around the Throne of God, the first thing on our minds will be how thankful we are for all Gods blessings.

dennisqCount Your Many Blessings, My Homeless America
A portion of the Wikipedia definition of Mitzvah is “express an act of human kindness”. Sunday I saw an outpouring of human kindness portrayed at Temple Menorah in Redondo Beach California. Reaching out not only to the homeless population of the surrounding areas, but to your troops abroad with handmade cards and a blood drive by the American Red Cross. Basically, picnic food served outdoors by adults and children with cheerful smiles while cabaret singers entertained the visiting guests with a few songs. I thought it was a fitting touch to close with a song from the musical Annie, “Tomorrow”.
Smiles adorned the faces of people whom would not otherwise have a reason to smile. Everyone was treated like an old friend, no one was overlooked or left out of the activities. My personal CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS to all of the volunteers and contributors whom made “Mitzvah Day” a joyful success.
