Excerpt from CHRISTINA's God, History and You: You're Only Halfway Home, General

As we approach the end of President Bush's second term in office, I thought it might be interesting to examine our first President's second term in office. Surprisingly, there are similarities.

"The man who, in 1775, upon entering Philadelphia to attend the Second Continental Congress, was met with 500 horsemen. a marching band and companies of foot soldiers - the man who, in a 'poem' written by a Rhode Island representative was called "Virginia's hero" - the man who was twice elected unanimously to the Presidency (not to mention his prior unanimous election as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental army) - became the man who, during his second term as President, was attacked from both foreign and domestic camps and by a critical press for his stand concerning a foreign war, the man who was embroiled in Congressional and public discord over difficult treaty negotiations with England, the man whose own cabinet members turned against him in sabotage and treason.

"Before he finally left office, authors Michael and Jana Novak tell us in their book Washington's God, the formerly beloved father of our country was actually accused of behaving as a monarch.

"(Note: Along these lines, by the way, in May of 1782 [about 7 months after the final major victory at the Battle of Yorktown] it was actually proposed to Washington, by one of his colonels, that he become king of the United States! Washington was horrified. Yet, before all was said and done, he was accused of that very thing which he found so abhorrent.)

"Maybe it's just me, but some of this sounds familiar.. (CHRISTINA, Sep 24, 2008; Excerpts Retrieved HERE.)"

God Has The Answer To The Question

by Dave Darnell

As I try to share my limited views, as related to my belief that God has given me a chance to make peace with all those I've wronged and offended, it becomes more evident that without a faith, strong and undeterred by gainsaying, nothing will pass.

Jesus is the path to that chance. His blood, outside the gate, joined Him to us. His blood, on the Tree, joined him to the Heavens, sanctified us and paved a road for us to see God's face in His Heaven with Jesus' perfect White Light.

The events taking place in our country and around the world are disturbing but not new. The newness of it is in the setting not in the action. Never before has this type of unsettling financial and social turmoil been played out instantaneously for everyone to see and hear. In addition, the sheer magnitude of our numbers is greater than anyone, except the dedicated demographers, is capable of fathoming.

So with constant and immediate media attention and huge masses of humanity at the whim of said media any chances for negotiation and introspective dialog to happen, decrease in mere moments. Then, whenever a meaningful announcement is available, it, once again becomes rapid-fire fodder for the news media, in all of its quick, beat Reuters to the keyboard efficiency.

The last time this happened was in the 80's. Failed banks, foreclosures, high gas prices, higher interest rates, credit tightening, hand wringing, failed war policies, anxious politicians, hung out to dry populace, proliferation of bars.

Then people became inventive and used talent and reason, some God gifts, to solve problems.
I'll leave these verses with you to read, I like them for today:
Leviticus 19:8-19

Spirit by Grace; Faith in Joy; Love in Harmony

"By faith--by believing God-- we know that the world

and the stars--in fact all things--were made at God's

command; and that they were made from things

that can't be seen." Heb. 11:3


"Continue to love each other,
Don't forget to be kind to strangers,
Honor your marriage,
Stay away from the love of money,
Remember your leaders who have
taught you the Word of God,

Jesus Christ is the same Yesterday,
today and forever,
Your Spiritual strength comes as a gift
from God."

For God has said," I will never, never fail you
nor forsake you. " Heb.13:1,4,5,7,8

As we all strive and reach for our various visions of salvation and deliverance,
sometimes it is forgotten, with the worldly hectiocity surrounding us,
that one of our choices, with God's grace, is to do nothing.

God Bless Us

Y H W H

"May the God of steadfastness and encouragement

grant you to live in such harmony with one another,

in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may,

with one voice glorify the God and Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ. " Romans 15:5

Happy Sunday; We all find it in our own uniqueness
