"Despite facing threats of disqualification, a 12-year-old girl took first place in a speech contest when she eloquently argued for the rights of unborn children – after an offended judge quit.
"What if I told you that right now, someone was choosing if you were going to live or die?" the seventh-grader begins in a video of her speech on YouTube. "What if I told you that this choice wasn't based on what you could or couldn't do, what you'd done in the past or what you would do in the future? And what if I told you, you could do nothing about it?""

I've been reading article after article advising the same principles to be put into place as we move into the "Obamanation of Democrat Control and Spending."
1. Don't spend money on anything you do not NEED, conserve financial resources, fix things which are fixable and do not replace. Money is going to be very tight in the near future. Learn to make do with what you have and create those things you will need.
2. Begin gathering supplies and simple food stuffs in anticipation of a highly inflated economy and shortage of goods (We are gathering dried beans, rice and canned meats, i.e., things that only need water and heat to cook). If your local store closes due to transporation failures, do you have enough food in your house to last a month?
3. Simplify your life. We have become a nation of leisure spenders and most of us would starve to death if left to our own resources. Learn to live with less; you may have to!
4. Reduce or eliminate debt.
5. Maintain a ready supply of cash.
6. Arm yourself and teach your family the principles of home defense.

how to put out a kitchen grease fire
source unknown
"I never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits all lid to cover a fire in a pan! This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire ...oil in a frying pan. Read the following Introduction, then watch the show .... It's a real eye-opener!!
At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students. The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room. Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup of either creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.
This is a powerful message----watch the video and don't forget what you see. Tell your whole family about this video. Or better yet, send this to them. extinguish kitchen grease fire

"IT is a commonplace that no book in all the world has been subjected to such close and prolonged study as the Bible. Other religious texts, older than much of our Bible, are still extant and venerated by the devotees of other faiths. But their study has never been undertaken on the scale of Biblical study. Nor has any other book been so widely circulated, or translated into so many different tongues." ~ H. H. Rowley

how to play church
An early sobering sermon by John MacArthur illustrates "the false church incorporated within the true church". Please do not misunderstand my purpose in noting this lesson. I believe in "church" and "church" attendance. I think it is imperative, however, that we truthfully ascertain the identity of the church we attend. Is it a place of "comfort" (think Joel Osteen) or is it a place where believers are confronted with the truth of their sinfulness alongside the path to and joy of redemption? Do you see and hear nothing but "Praise the Lord" or are those praises joined by squirming seats and low volumed "amen"s and "thank you"s? Is your church a place to attend or a place to mend?
Join me.
Highlights:
"This morning I want to present to you a discussion on the particular verses, Matthew 7:21 to 23 and talk about...well as the subject was advertised...how to play church, church...or the false church incorporated within the true church. Because I think that we have to examine ourselves to begin with to see where we really are before we know what we need. And so, this Sunday and next Sunday I'll be presenting messages dealing with the church and the ministry."
"The Church Age then comes up in Matthew chapter 13. Having set Israel aside because of her unbelief, Christ begins to institute a group of parables that discuss the Church Age and they present the Church Age as a very unique age. He talks about the fact that in the Church Age there is going to be the wheat and the tares, that is the true and the false. And they're going to be so hard to tell apart that you won't be able to tell them apart until God who is the final judge decides between them."
"And then we read about the fact that there are various dimensions of the church. The mustard seed illustration gives the idea that the church is going to explode and it's going to be a great big thing including real and unreal, true and false. And so the Church Age is going to be a very strange era and truly it is. For under the name church, quote/unquote, we have all kinds of things going on today. Christ commanded John in Revelation to write to the Sardis church, "I know thy works that thou hast the name that thou art alive and art dead." What a commentary on most churches today. They have a title, they have a name, but they're dead. And why are they dead? Well they're dead initially because the people within them are dead. I would say that the great majority of church members in America today probably...probably and according to Billy Graham statistics this is pretty accurate, probably the majority of them don't even know what it is to be a Christian and they're dead spiritually. Paul says in Ephesians 2, "They're dead in sin." Consequently dead people are going to constitute a dead church and the church is not suffering today or dying today because of a tax from the outside, most churches Satan wouldn't even waste powder and shot on them, they're dead from the inside. "
""Very important to understand this and Paul elucidates it in 2 Corinthians chapter 6 beginning in verse 14 where he brings up the fact that the love of Christ is a very basic issue and that what is really important is that the church is involved in making new creations out of these dead people. A church that is a real living vital church is a church that is in the business of taking dead people and communicating to them the gospel that alone can make them alive. That's the mission of the church. There is no way biblicaly under the sun that the church can ever court the world. The church must be the conscience of the world. The church must be so well defined that it becomes the antagonist of the world. For those outside of Jesus Christ, this church I trust, I pray, this church will be the most uncomfortable seat in the world because we present a gospel that divides.

I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her fertile fields and boundless forests, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in in her public school system and her institutions of learning, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her democratic congress and her matchless constitution, and it was not there.
Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.

update: U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child
"A United Nations human rights treaty that could prohibit children from being spanked or homeschooled, ban youngsters from facing the death penalty and forbid parents from deciding their families' religion is on America's doorstep, a legal expert warns."
United Nations' threat: No more parental rights
