Dear Ones:
     Unfortunately, information on this case is both slow in coming and is, apparently, being suppressed by the progressive liberal press.
     Please -- whatever your race and political 'persuasion', suppress your anger and try not to let things get out of control.
     I am taking my 'own advice', just so you know.  I told my daughter last night, "I am ALMOST sorry about all of my 'civil rights work'."
     She said, "Please--don't be that way".
     I thought about it, and I really am 'trying not to be that way'.
     But to hear of a WW II Okinawa WW II veteran beaten to death as so much 'fodder' for lowlifes who have no respect for life....I have to wonder.
     I'm trying not to succumb to anger in this area where Progressive Liberalism and 'White Privilege Initiatives' prevail.
     I'm trying to live the Gospel by not promoting vengeance and violence -- and by concentrating on my own 'spiritual self'.
     Yet a little part of me wants to say to all good, law-abiding people, Christian or not, to not be lulled into some kind of karmic 'trance' believing that racial tension does not exist any more.
     We are not in a 'post-racial period' and we have problems on the horizon, the likes of which we have not seen before in our fine country.
     Join me in believing these words:

The Beatitudes

He said:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5&version=NIV
      I pray for the eternal soul of Delbert Belton and his family and friends and for a humanity who has lost its way. 
     Please join me.
With Love in Christ,
Rev. Barb

"The Recently Discovered 'Lead Codices' &'The Seals of Revelations' Explained" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110330/ts_yblog_thelookout/could-lead-codices-prove-the-major-discovery-of-christian-history
Dear Ones:
     By now you've heard of the recent (re-)discovery of 70 early Christian 'lead codices' and there is much debate about them.
     The major debate is whether or not they are authentic.
     The other major debate is that, if they are authentic, are they the 'seven seals' referred to in Revelation 6 of the Bible?
     Is their content 'relevant' to current day events?

"The Seals

1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest."

READ THE REST HERE:

LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+6&version=NIV
     Some believe these 'seven seals' are on a single scroll or 'book' which is bound together in a certain order.
     However, it was very difficult to produce volumes of large size in ancient days, for everything had to be literally 'hand-made'. 
     Thus, it is not unusual to see ancient texts 'published' as individual chapters or sections, meant to be read in succession.
     Such could be the case with these 70 codices.
     We must also remember how very dangerous it was...and still is in many places of the world today...to be a Christian believer.
     Even today we are as likely as not to be castigated and mocked for our belief in the Risen Christ, and this even in so-called 'civilized' areas of the modern world.
     Imagine the difficulties early Christians encountered and the methods they must have used to avoid detection, persecution and death!
     They used 'secret symbols', one of which is the well-known fish-shaped 'Ichthys', to identify themselves.
     And they wrote and transported their 'writings' in piece-meal fashion, exactly like these credit-card-sized 'codices' under discussion.
     How much easier it would have been for Christians of old to each carry small portions of larger texts and then read them all together, as desired, during group worship.
     That would lessen the risk of an entire written body of work being confiscated or stolen and would make it much easier to hide that which must be hidden.
     Anyone who carries around a small 'New Testament with the Psalms and Proverbs' understands the desirability of this type of 'portability'.
     Can you imagine going to church today as the 'safekeeper' of  a rare copy of '1 & 2 Thessalonians' so that the entire Bible can be 'reassembled' for use during worship?
     Can you imagine that kind of responsibility, even in our modern age?
      Every and any thing about your little portable treasure, by very definition, would have significance, and, if found, would be 'scrupulously examined' in places where such things are 'forbidden'.
     This naturally brings us back to the subject of some ancient 'booklets' and whether or not they contain the 'seals' in Revelation everyone seems to be talking about....believers and scoffers, alike.
     If there are 70 seals to be broken, we once again have the Biblical tradition of interchanging numbers like 'seven' and  'seven times seven' and 'seventy times seven' and other word plays that God has used to get His points across!
     Commonly used and 'exaggerated or singularly emphasized' numbers in Scripture include 3, 7, 12, 40 and so on, as well as the well-known '666' and others.
     Thus, perhaps the 70 discovered tiny codices series do, indeed, represent the 'seven seals' in the form of seventy different smaller 'booklet's or 'codices', which are intended to be read in some kind of order and which comprise a single large body of work or works.
     Soon enough we'll find out.
     Even the number of 'rings' (three) is intriguing, as well as the apparent number of total 'closures' (looks like twelve or nine in some pictures, below)

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110330/ts_yblog_thelookout/could-lead-codices-prove-the-major-discovery-of-christian-history

     Right now, we don't know.  And we won't know until authentication is completed and scholars get it together enough to allow some fine panel of 'experts' to reveal what these newly discovered 'treasures' hold and tell us.
     One thing is agreed upon regarding these codices, at least.
     There seems to be substantial evidence that the 'books' in question here stem from year one (1 A.D. aka 1 C.E.) and whatever they contain should be interesting to Christians and non-Christians alike.
     At the present time, these codices are in the possession of a Jordanian Bedouin, having been purchased from an Israeli Bedouin.
     Both Israel and Jordon figure prominently in 'end times' eschatology, but the Jordon connection is particularly intriguing to this 'Biblical Biochemist'.
     According to Isaiah 63, the Lord will come from Edom which is in what is known as Jordon today.
     More specifically, the place where the Lord will return will be 'Bozrah' in Edom:
 Isaiah 6

"God’s Day of Vengeance and Redemption

" Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?

Who is this, robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength?

“It is I, proclaiming victory, mighty to save.”...

" I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground.”

Isaiah 63:1-6  (NIV)

READ THE REST HERE:

LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah%2063:1-6&version=NIV
     The interesting thing about the Isaiah passage above is that it is mirrored in Revelation 19:11-16:
"The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2019:11-16&version=NIV
     Bozrah in Jordon figures prominently in Scripture passages detailing 'the Day of the Lord' and ultimate events and 'Heavenly Appearances' in Jerusalem.
     In Isaiah 34 we read:
"2 The LORD is angry with all nations; his wrath is on all their armies. He will totally destroy[a] them, he will give them over to slaughter."
"6 The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood, it is covered with fat— the blood of lambs and goats, fat from the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom."
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah%2034&version=NIV
     'Edom' represents those who are enemies of God.  
     Without overwhelming readers here who are non-believers or who are new to Scripture, here is another reference to 'the Day of the Lord':

8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of retribution, to uphold Zion’s cause. 9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch, her dust into burning sulfur; her land will become blazing pitch!"

LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah%2034&version=NIV
     I'm trying not to 'overwhelm you', dear readers, with so much Scripture that you 'miss the point'.
     But IF the recently found codices are, in fact, bona fide, it is an interesting 'convergence' that their discovery comes out of the land of Jordon which was known in Biblical times under the various names of 'Edom' (including 'Bozrah').
     If you are interested in 'googling' more related to Jordon, look-up: Edom, Ammon, Moab, Isarel/Judah and all things referring to 'Petra'.
     It will be a fascinating exercise for you.
     For now,  true Christian believers scarcely 'need' validation of what we hold as truths due to our faith.
     But academic study, the inevitable media spin-fest and direct observation of world and current events should convince even the most 'stiff-necked scoffers' amongst us that something is afoot worldwide.
     But not everyone will be convinced:
     "The devil doesn't have any 'business' if he doesn't have any followers."
     To that end, let all of us--Christian and Jewish and others so-inclined-- pray for the salvation of all as the time of Revelation approaches.
     Every woman who has ever been pregnant and has delivered a child knows that a time comes when one's body is simply not one's own.
     Once labor begins and birth is imminent, no one can prevent what is to come, for better or for worse.
     And so it will be with the Day of the Lord, and Jesus says so:
"8 All these are the beginning of birth pains."
Matthew 24:8  (NIV)
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A6-8&version=NIV  
     We may not know the exact time and place it will occur, but we will have some inkling.
     Those whom God looks upon with favor will be given abundant faith and discernment and will not fear.
     The others, I don't know about except that now is the time for all persons of good faith to spread the Word of the Gospel with great vigor. 
     Whether 'the Day of the Lord' will ultimately be one of joy or terror and tragedy to anyone, only the One who directs our ways and to whom we pray and put our trust in, knows.
For You In Christ

courtesy http://justwallpaperdownload.blogspot.com/2011/03/japan-earthquake-2011-wallpapers.html"Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”""Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life."

8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

BUT WHAT WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY THE EARTH IF NOT WATER???*

Dear Ones:

     Yes.  Events in Japan and elsewhere ARE just like a 'mini-version' of the movie 2012.

     Yet...all that is happening in the world today is actually written in the Bible!

     At this point in time, needless to say you need to be vigilant if you live in earthquake, flood, tornado, volcano, etc areas.

     And be sure to exercise the good sense the Lord gave you.

     Above all, don't be afraid, for there is nothing any of us can do to 'do away' with what is happening in our world today!

     You may not be able to change the horrifying things occurring around the globe, but you most certainly can change your own reactions to them and your attitude towards past, current and future events.

     If you have never trusted in God before, maybe you'd like to do so now.

     It's your choice, of course.

     An while you're at it, if you've never read the Bible before, maybe you'd like to read that now, as well.

     That way you will at least understand what all the 'holy-rollers' are talking about all around you!

     I recommend that you actually purchase an NIV Study Bible, below, so that you will have it when computer communication is impossible.

     The notes in it will help you in case you are isolated from Christians who might otherwise help you to understand 'it' and 'things' better.

     Of course, ANY Bible version will do in a pinch.  The main point is to GET YOUR HANDS ON ONE NOW AND READ IT!

http://justwallpaperdownload.blogspot.com/2011/03/japan-earthquake-2011-wallpapers.html

     Think of the Bible as a 'handbook for your heart and soul', if you will, and one that is a good investment at any price.

     Specific passages will speak to your heart as they describe things happening today and I recommend the following for your reading, for starters:

     Matthew 24-25 in the New Testament

     LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024-25&version=NIV

     1 Thessalonians 4-5 (verses 4 to 5) in the New Testament

     LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%204-5&version=NIV

     The Book Of Revelation-all of it.  You might want to start with Rev. 8 (chapter 8) and take it from there. 

      Just try reading the parts of Revelation you can easily understand first and the check back here for additional information as you continue your studies. 

     Revelation is in the New Testament and is the last book in the Bible.

courtesy http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/magnitude-quake-strikes-japan/story-e6frf7lf-1226019903430

     Don't worry if it is all too confusing; NO ONE TRULY UNDERSTANDS ALL THE 'METAPHORICAL PARTS' of Revelation and if they say they do, they are lying, no matter how much of an 'expert' they claim to be.

     The truth is that as far as the Bible is concerned, I like to say to believers, "We've read the book and now we're doing the movie!"

     This is particularly amusing since my 'title' for this article here is 'Just Like The Movie 2012'...but you get the idea I'm trying to get across-kind of a 'chicken-and-egg' metaphor of my own for YOU regarding current events/ 

      Of course, only God knows what He has in mind for us and what His 'timeframe' is.
      The best we can do is try to lead as good lives as possible and live by our faith in Him.

     Here's your Revelation link:

     LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+8&version=NIV

     Now, if you have a taste for Revelation, you will enjoy discovering the revelatory 'delights' of the Book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament.

      Once again, the reader is barraged with metaphorical and literary devices which to non-believers sounds like 'nonsense'.

     Well, I say 'Nonsense to THAT!'

     Anyone with a scintilla of perception and discernment and a genuine desire to learn the truth in good faith, so-to-speak, will recognize riveting 'convergences' between Biblical text and current events.

     If you never have before, 'speak with God' through prayer and ask directly for Guidance.

     Then listen carefully and you will receive it, I promise.

courtesy http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/magnitude-quake-strikes-japan/story-e6frf7lf-1226019903430

     In fact, once you start reading and meditating upon Scripture, you're probably going to want to start journaling about what you read, glean and dream as it pertains to 'real life' and 'real Life'.

     So have pen and paper handy and write down this one word as you start: *'FIRE'

Yours In The Fire Of the Holy Spirit

"An Ash Wednesday Remembrance For You" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

courtesy www.GospelGifs.com  Jim Sutton

Dear Ones:

Remember on this Ash Wednesday, that "it is from dust you came and it is to dust you shall return."

These are the words you pastor will say to you as he anoints your forehead with ashes, making the sign of the cross.

There are two Scripture passages for you to reflect upon today, whether you have literal ashes on your forehead or not.

If you are unable to get to a church or other place to receive ashes, consider this:

Ask the Holy Spirit to anoint your 'spirit-body forehead' and let this be your Ash Wednesday observance.

Let scoffers 'scoff'.  But even the most-hardened atheist/agnostic acknowledges what the medical community calls 'phantom limb pain' after an amputation.

Pray God these nay-sayers expand their minds to understand that 'phantom limbs' are nothing more than an amputee's 'spirit leg'!

No matter how you honor this day, here are two Scripture passages for you to reflect upon.  Please take the time to use the link provided to read the extended readings which will help you to understand the concept of 'dust-to-dust'.

"5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the LORD God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."    Genesis 2:5-7 (NIV)

"17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’“Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.

18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”
Genesis 3:17-19  (NIV)
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%202-3&version=NIV 

Your pastor anoints your forehead with ashes as an 'outward sign' to the world and to yourself that you dedicate your life to our Lord Jesus Christ.

You realize that your life--all life--is precious and is 'fast-fleeting'.

The 'ashes' used on Ash Wednesday are made by burning 'last years' dried palm fronds from Palm Sunday which are saved, burned and blessed especially for this purpose.

No 'common' ashes here!

Everything in liturgical use is special in origin and utilization.

In fact, Good Christians have a sacred reverence for ALL that God has given us in the natural world...or we should have anyway.

So on this day, dear ones, take the time to reflect upon your own mortality and ask yourself the question: "If I die right now, what state of 'grace' will I be found to be in?

Is my life one which is pleasing to God, our Father and our Creator?

My prayer for all of you is that you enjoy peace-of-heart with the Lord on this solemn day, Ash Wednesday, free of doubt...and full of faith.

With Love in Christ
Reverend Barbara Sexton

Epilogue: Invitation and Warning

12 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.           Rev 22: 12-21 (NIV)

Harry Reid: ‘The time has come for us to outlaw prostitution’

By Anjeanette Damon, David McGrath Schwartz, Cy Ryan

Published Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011
CARSON CITY — Sen. Harry Reid on Tuesday called for “an adult conversation” about prostitution in Nevada, saying it is an impediment to economic development because it discourages businesses from moving here.
“Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment – not as the last place where prostitution is still legal,” he said in a speech to the Nevada Legislature......"

"......Dennis Hof, a flamboyant brothel owner, arrived at the Legislature about 90 minutes before Reid was scheduled to speak. Hof was accompanied by eight working girls from his brothel outside Carson City."
"Harry Reid will have to pry the cat house keys from my cold dead hands," he told the media.
READ THE REST HERE: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/feb/22/reid-vs-brothel-industry

Dear Readers:

     Make no mistake about it, prostitution has always been with us and is likely 'here to stay'.

     In fact, the Bible, itself, is rift with mention of this profession in it's various incarnations:
--sometimes redemptively 'flattering' as in the story of God-fearing 'Rahab', the brave prostitute who hid and helped two Israelis spying in Jericho escape with their lives
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua+2&version=NIV
--sometimes (rightly or wrongly, but in my opinion the latter...) as a 'repentant prostitute' in the tradition of Mary Magdalene
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+20&version=NIV
---and sometimes in the 'no-holds-barred' tradition of the metaphor of the 'Great Whore Of Babylon', who in collusion with 'the Antichrist' and the 'Beast' wrecks havoc on earth and humankind in their 'final days'.
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017-18&version=NIV
     Of course, other prostitutes, concubines, sex slaves and all sorts of sexual activities are elaborated upon in Scripture (listen up you who think the Bible is all irrelevant and boring ramblings of stern old men!).
     In fact, Biblical stories of 'fallen women' are a very powerful reflection of the realities of life of earth...in times past, currently, as well as in the future.
     To write the 'Good Book' off as 'mere arcane and imaginary writings' (as I once did for the first 37 years of my life as a proud atheist/agnostic) is to do it a great injustice.  (Note: You OWE IT to yourself to read the Bible NOW, if you never have before!)
     But I digress....
     Back to the surprising 'stance' of the uber-liberal Harry Reid, I stand with those who simply cannot believe that 'Prince Harry', as Tea Party Patriots call him, is SO up-in-arms about the legal prostitution business in Nevada.
     It boggles the mind that Progressive Lib Dem Harry Reid is actually BLAMING Nevada's financial woes on the 'world's oldest profession'.
     Not only is it 'counter-intuitive', but it smacks of the kind of perverse 'self-righteousness' exhibited by those who consider themselves to be totally 'above the frey'.
     Is Prince Harry SQUAWKING too much because he has something to hide, like the fact that HE and his CRONIES are responsible for not only the pathetic financial state of Nevada, but of the entire U.S.A., itself?
     Is the 'gentleman (ahem) from Nevada' objecting just a little too much?
     I think so. 
     And I think that Harry Reid is barking up a storm over Nevada brothels not so much because he hails from a position of 'high moral import'...but because he craves to be in the spotlight, once again and he'll do whatever it takes to get back there.
     Don't get me wrong-engaging in prostitution has enough negative ramifications.
     Those who do it for a living must face a myriad of consequences and life-impacts that are more often bad than good.
     Prostitution, gambling, booze, drugs, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases and various forms of 'abuse' are always potential cohabitants in the lives of the Bunny Ranch babes and their sisters.
     Family and friends are affected, not to mention 'significant others', if there are any.
     But, at least in Nevada some level of legal regulation is applied to and oversees the prostitution industry, which is more than we can say about the dog-and-pony show we have been forcefully subjected to by Nancy Pelosi and the 'squawking' Prince Harry.
     I don't know what set Reed 'off' here, but I think he's off-base.
     Doesn't he realize that it was Mary Magdalene, that 'fallen-woman-wrongly-branded-as-a-prostitute' by eons of male chauvinist church leaders who first saw the 'empty tomb' and then the Risen Christ?
     Doesn't Harry realize that it was 'the women'--those branded 'sainted' and 'fallen' and those 'in-between' who stayed with Christ under the cross...prepared his body for burial...and then were the first to 'see' him again after resurrection?
     The lesson here is that the way of Jesus is one of understanding, forgiveness and 'rebirth'.
     I urge Prince Harry to 'revisit' these tenets in the religion he claims for himself which is Mormon, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
     And as one who has 'worked' with prostitutes with my street and church ministries for many moons, I speak from the soft places of my heart.
     I want to remind my sisters everywhere and whatever they do for a living, that they can, at any time, earnestly pray to 'our God of second chances and new beginnings'...
     And know we will all be heard.
May God Bless You
With Love in Christ

"⁷ Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

"Shocking Revelation For CT TEA PARTY PATRIOTS Almost Immediately After Pima, Arizona Shootings" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

Myspace Stuff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Acquitting the guilty and convicting the innocent, the Lord detests them both."

Proverbs 17:15 (NIV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Ones:
     Below is the timeline for the recent Arizona shootings from the Pima County's Sheriff Dept, including an addition of concern to us in red.
     Please fellow TEA PARTY PATRIOTS, take care with such as these who anonymously instigate and propagate hate on the internet.  They are right here next to us!
LINK: http://ctbob.blogspot.com/2011/01/sarah-palin-might-as-well-have-pulled.html 
     Do not be afraid of persons such as CT Bob--whoever he or she is--and his 'respondents', but be aware of them, these who think they can hide in plain sight behind the anonymity of the 'Web'. 
    None of us need to be reminded of all the 'online ramblings', anonymous of course, of shooter Jared Loughner, which no one bothered to bring to any one's attention until AFTER he perpetrated his horrible crimes.
     First anonymous words are used to wound and as happens all too often nowadays, not-so-anonymous bullets are next. 
     I certainly don't want that to be the case here in Connecticut and so I bring this to your attention.
     There is no denying that the gross problems affecting the entire U.S.A. are no where more 'exemplified' than in this very liberal state of CT, to the point that I fear 'fair elections' at this point are now virtually impossible in the aftermath of the 'Bridgeport Ballot' imbroglio.

'Gadsden Flag' of the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS

     Those of us who 'dare to speak' and 'dare to question' and claim our God-given liberties as American citizens, must be ever mindful that there really are those intend to do us harm every day and we must feel sorry for them.
      They speak without thinking and have no authority over their emotions.  They claim to 'know us' when they don't.  They 'indict and condemn us' without care.
LINK: http://ctbob.blogspot.com/2011/01/sarah-palin-might-as-well-have-pulled.html
      Yet we should pray for those poor souls who seek our destruction, even as we pray that God grant us His Vast Protection and Victory this election season.
     And we should stand united to remain ever peaceful, respectful, lawful and forthcoming in truth and openness not in hate as our detractors do, but rather in love, for the good of all in our Nation.
     May Connecticut set the bar for decency of speech and action by the TEA PARTY and others on the 'right' in light of recent speech and actions on 'the left'.
May God Bless Us & God Bless America

14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked

or walk in the way of evildoers.

15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;

turn from it and go on your way.

16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;

they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.

17 They eat the bread of wickedness

and drink the wine of violence.

Proverbs 4:14-17 (NIV)
