Human Body a giant factory only God could design

The Human body is like a giant factory operating - @ - heating system, sewer system, plumbing system, factory machinery, power source, computers planning, rebuilding & repair department, all things in complete sync, communications dept., record keeping, etc. - and all these things working for 79 years ( in my case ) is amazing !
 
Something or someone very powerful had to work all this and the details out - Only GOD could do it - No human, no matter how powerful could ever come within any per-cent of achieving this.
 
and the "politicians  " think they are powerful - They don`t know or have "squat" power !
 
       This is a thought on the last day of this year 2010, to keep in mind all the remainder of what time or years that are left.

The Apple computer Ceo, exactly my age, was named the Best CEO of the decade!  Amazing.  He was fired not that long ago from his own company. And he almost died from liver cancer and had to have a liver transplant just to live.  Not only lives, but thrives!

Just talking to a 40 year old salesman who leaves town after Christmas because he still misses his family now deceased.

 I do have fond memories of the yellow apples. Really a miracle to live just one day.  Happy New Year!!

Well Covered: A fundamental American perspective many have forgotten




 

 

THINK THIS GUY HAS IT ALL COVERED. I COULDN'T SPOT ANYTHING HE LEFT OUT.

 


 
cid:1.2067242563@web33705.mail.mud.yahoo.com
I Am the Democratic Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare. 
I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker. 
I am a Master leatherworker. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.

I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others.

I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and I believe in American products and buy them whenever I can.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental functionary, Democratic or Republican, that wants to share it with others who don't work!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English.

I believe there should be no other language option.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave, nor was I a slave. I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!

This is AMERICA ...We like it the way it is and more so the way it was ...so stop trying to change it to look like Russia or China , or some other socialist country!

If you were born here and don't like it... you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.  (And take Barack Hussein Obama and his group with you.)   Massachusetts started the ball rolling.  Keep it going.

I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the White House, the seat of our biggest problems.

I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution? Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are, but not just because you happen to ride a bike.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license. I think it's good....  And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause....  Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents....

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know....

We want our country back! My Country.....I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

My great, great, great, great grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the Revolution & the War of 1812.  My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Mexican American War.  My great, great grandfather watched as his friends & brothers died in the Civil War.  My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Spanish-American War. My grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I. My father watched as his friends died in WW II. I watched as my friends died in   Vietnam , Panama & Desert Storm. My son watched & bled as his friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq . None of them died for the Mexican Flag. Everyone died for the American flag.

Texas high school students raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole, other students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.

California  high school students were sent home on Cinco de Mayo, because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.

Enough is enough this message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to stand up for America . We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand.

I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the American flag.

If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know.  I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

AMERICANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS !

Let me make this clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY !

This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration !

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally:

1. Get  a sponsor !

2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past !

3. Live by OUR rules !

4. Get a job !

5. Pay YOUR Taxes !

6. No Social Security until you have earned it and Paid for it !

7. NOW find a place to lay your head !

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE  PART OF THE PROBLEM !

We've gone so far the other way . . .  bent over backwards not to offend anyone.

Only AMERICANS seems to care when American Citizens are being offended !

WAKE UP America ! ! !

If you do not Pass this on, may your fingers cramp !

Made in the U S A & DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!!!

Every day everything is a miracle!!!

"People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle."

I will make you fruitful...


Make Room

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year's harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new"
(Leviticus 26:9–10, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

God wants to bless you and multiply you. He wants to increase you above and beyond what you could ever ask, think or imagine. But sometimes, we fill our lives with so much that we simply don't have room to receive all that God wants to give us. People fill their lives with good things, noteworthy obligations and impressive accomplishments. But "good" can be the enemy of "best." We have to take the time to evaluate what we have in our hands and be willing to move some things out in order to make room for the new thing God has for us.
Today, take some time to evaluate your life. Be open to what God wants to do in and through you. If your hands are full, maybe it's time to use what you have to bless other people. Don't let holding on to yesterday keep you from God's best. Instead, make room because He has abundant blessings in store for you.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, today I open my hands and my heart to You. I choose to release anything spiritually, physically or emotionally that would keep me from Your best. Search my heart, God, and show me where I need to make adjustments to make room for You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Stoicism...

In his Meditations, Marcus Aurelius defines several such practices. For example, in Book II, part 1:
Say to yourself in the early morning: I shall meet today ungrateful, violent, treacherous, envious, uncharitable men. All of these things have come upon them through ignorance of real good and ill... I can neither be harmed by any of them, for no man will involve me in wrong, nor can I be angry with my kinsman or hate him; for we have come into the world to work together...

Almost 400 years ago, an Englishman named Henry Fleet became the first European to set foot on the land that would become Washington, D.C. He reported enthusiastically on the pleasant climate, the plenitude of sturgeon and other fish. "And as for deer, buffaloes, bears, turkey, the woods do swarm with them."

Overcome the unpleasant with the pleasant

Overcome the angry by non-anger; overcome the wicked by goodness; overcome the miser by generosity; overcome the liar by truth.

The past can be an object of mindfulness..While grounded in the present moment

 "To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibly plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future.  Ifyou are firmly grounded in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness and concentration.  You can attain many insights by looking into the past.  But you are still grounded in the present moment."

Nothing can separate us from the Love of God


Romans 8:38-39 (New Living Translation)
 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A visit from Brother


From: rocknrod2 <rocknrod2@aol.com>

GOOD
MORNING!!!





I
HAD AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR THIS MORNING.
HE ARRIVED
EARLY,
SAT DOWN WITH ME AND CHATTED FOR A WHILE ABOUT HOW THINGS WERE
CURRENTLY GOING FOR ME IN MY LIFE. AFTER VERY CAREFULLY AND COMPASSIONATELY
LISTENING TO ALL THAT I HAD TO SAY, HE SAW THE STRESS ON MY FACE AND THE TEARS
IN MY EYES.




HE STOOD UP, WALKED OVER TO ME, LEANED OVER AND GENTLY HELD ME FOR AWHILE
BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A REALLY BAD MORNING. THEN, AFTER REASSURING ME NOT TO
WORRY, THAT EVERYTHING WOULD WORK OUT FOR ME AND BE JUST FINE, HE ASKED ME IF I
KNEW OF
ANYONE ELSE THAT COULD USE A VISIT FROM HIM.



I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF YOU MY FRIEND. I GAVE HIM YOUR NAME AND TOLD
HIM WHERE YOU LIVED. HE GAVE ME ANOTHER REASSURING HUG, THANKED ME AND I WALKED
WITH HIM TO MY FRONT DOOR. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO YOUR
PLACE.






When
He gets to your PC, escort Him to the next stop. Please don't allow Him to
sleep on your PC. The message He is carrying is very important and needs to go
around. I asked him to bless you and yours with peace, happiness and abundance.

Say a prayer, and then pass Him on to bless others as I sent Him on to bless
you. Our assignment is to spread love, respect and kindness throughout the
world.

Have a blessed day and touch somebody's life today as hopefully I have touched
your life. He's walking around the world via e-mail!! Please pass it on so He
can get there....
Be sure and put your town in the subject box to let others know where he is leaving from.

I LOVE MY ATTORNEY



From: "RTH232@aol.com" <RTH232@aol.com>

> After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the end.
>
> The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court house.
>
> The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.
>
> As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor. '
>
> He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.
>
> I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.
>
> The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes.
>
> He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.
>
> As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'
>
> The prosecutor rose and said, 'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell.'
>
> He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank.
>
> I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about.
>
> As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all.
>
> I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?
>
> Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise.'
>
> When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward.
>
> As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty.
>
> I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior.
>
> He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'HI, DAD,' and then He turned to address the court.
>
> 'Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished.'
>
> Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine.'
>
> My Lord continued with, 'His name is written in the Book of Life, and no one can snatch him from Me.
> 'Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.'
>
> As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said, 'There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all.'
>
> The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips.....
>
> 'This man is free. The penalty for him has already been paid in full. Case dismissed.'
> As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, 'I won't give up, I will win the next one.'
> I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?'
>
> Christ lovingly smiled and said, 'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, ~Paid In Full.'
>
> If you do not pass this along to 15 people immediately, absolutely nothing will happen .
>
> Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend,

Let go of body and mind

"Let go of body and mind, until you reach a state of great rest, like letting go over a cliff ten miles high, being like open space. And don't produce representations of discriminations of random thoughts arising and passing away; the moment a view sticks in your mind, use the sword of wisdom to cut it right off, not letting it continue."

All Blessing will come upon you and accompany you

Commanded Blessings

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all His commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God"
(Deuteronomy 28:1-2, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

There is a blessing that God has for every one of His children that will cause you to rise out of lack into abundance! It will take you from barely getting by to living in overflow. It brings supernatural increase! We were never created to drag through life constantly struggling. If we're going to receive His blessings, we have to come into agreement with His Word in our minds, hearts and actions.

This commanded blessing is found in Deuteronomy 28. It tells us that if we will live a life that honors God and obey His Word, then all these blessings will chase us down and overtake us. It says that you will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. God will open up to you His good treasury and cause you to lend and not borrow. He will make you plenteous in goods and give you a surplus of increase.

Today, let this truth sink down into your spirit: the Creator of the universe has commanded blessing upon you. Receive it today and choose to walk in complete obedience to Him!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
