Details are scant, but the mother organization IRIS (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services) headquartered in New Haven, CT is sponsoring this campaign. http://www.irisct.org/index1.html Perhaps some news services will pick up this story for a news report, but I'm not holding my breath.
In the meantime, please join me in praying for non-muslims all over the world--especially Christians and Jews--who are being killed, tortured and obliterated by Muslim terrorists.
Americans need to know about this--and that means all of us.

Dear Ones Healing Ministry (DOHM)
As Christians, we know the following 1 Corinthians 13 passage from the many wedding ceremonies we have been witness to.
Why not take a moment now to reflect upon this passage in it's 'entirety'?
Love, Rev. Barb
" 1 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all
knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not
have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge,
it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I
reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood
behind me. 12 For now we
see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (NIV)
Source (one of many) : http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=48171 Dear Ones: CLICK ON THE LINK ABOVE TO ENLARGE THIS PIECE OF CHRISTIANOPHOBIC hatred. I've written a number of pieces already on this and will be addressing Rabbi Hammerman's unhealthy and cruel obsession with Tim Tebow's mother and her apparently 'at-risk' pregnancy. I have a strong stomach, but Rabbi Josh's 'spiritual commentary' (as if he had a prayer) for Tim Tebow's mom chills me to the bone. How dare a man...let alone a Jewish clergyman...'pontificate' to a Christian woman who is carrying and already in love with her unborn child, about whether or not her child is worth 'saving'? I have a friend whose mother was told in the eighth month of pregnancy that her child 'had a big, boxy head'. His mother was inclined to follow 'doctors' orders and have a late-term abortion. Fortunately for my friend, his Aunt (his mother's sister) intervened and my friend was born... And, yes, with a 'big, boxy head'. But he is alive and is a wonderful, able and super intelligent person! For now, focus on the Rabbi's Christianophobia, which alone is cause for concern. But as you read about this burgeoning story, please remember what you have read here and that those who intend to do 'evil' are attempting to purge all this from the Internet. Who can blame them? But I, for one, don't want to see that happen. No doubt about it. This is one case where no ministry IN THE WORLD can begin any healing before the repugnant pimple of prejudice is 'popped', cleared, cleaned and prevented from 're-appearing'. I know in my heart that Jews in Stamford and CT don't hate Christians as much as Rabbi Hammerman would have us believe. But for those who so obviously support exactly this sort of anti-Christian bigotry BY YOUR SILENCE (take note Interfaith Council of SW CT, of whom Rabbi Hammerman is a stalwart member)... We are not about to sit by silently, complacently and acquiescently, for any of this. Rabbi Hammerman's quick and stealthy 'retraction' and pseudo-apology tells us all we need to be aware of what is and what may come.

http://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Members-of-all-faiths-gather-in-support-of-Islam-630355.php Dear Ones: This is upsetting, yes, but it is hardly surprising in liberal Stamford, CT that this type of thing should originate here. But, Rabbi Joshua Hammerman of Temple Beth El recently 'went off', as many Progressive Libs are wont to do as if it is their birthright. He raled on 'those not like himself'...and on those who do not hold to 'his particular social justice values'. The Rabbi's blog is called, ironically, 'On One Foot: Joshua Hammerman's Blog. Unfortunately Rabbi Josh, you don't have a FOOT to stand on with your anti-Christian rant. LINK:http://joshuahammerman.blogspot.com I am very used to hearing from religious leaders with Rabbi Hammerman's mindset, especially ever since he played a major role in some ill-conceived interfaith shenanigans in the 'interfaith community'. LINK: http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/08/shariah-law-preached-from-stamford.html But recently, Rabbi Hammerman's blew it bigtime! Even I was surprised when he decided to zero in on all moderate/conservative CHRISTIANS in a very unkind (and weird) way by saying,
"If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his
faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning
mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants." WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, RABBI JOSH HAMMERMAN? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? Not surprisingly, 'Jewish Week' pulled Rabbi Hammerman's article and the good Rabbi offered an 'apology'. LINK: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2011/12/jewish-week-apologizes-for-anti-tebow-column-by-rabbi-tim-tebow-denver-broncos-rabbi-joshua-hammerman/1 not because they wanted to, but because they had to. Popular outrage saw to that. Be that as it may, it is worthwhile for people of ALL faiths (as well as for all atheists/agnostics) to educate themselves about the anti-Christian/anti-religion bigotry that is running rampant today. I, myself, never realized that Rabbi Josh was such a Christianophobe. He certainly successfully hid it from me in the 22+ years I have been acquainted with him via the faith community. But do draw your own conclusions. May God grant us the ability to live together peaceably, if it is at all possible. To my fellow Christians, I say learn and be wiser. Then do as Jesus would do. Be smart about those who intend us harm and be as agreeable and understanding as possible with those who are 'different than ourselves'. Forgive Rabbi Josh Hammerman and sin not as he has in thought, mind, word and deed. With Love In Christ Rev.

Dear Ones: Whatever you may think or feel about the 'OCCUPY DARIEN' movement, I would ask you to have compassion for it's apparent leader/organizer Margaret Rague, who was recently arrested: LINK: http://www.thedailydarien.com/news/occupy-darien-organizer-arrested The news media have been 'rift' with comments, back and forth, between Ms. Rague and others. Even a cursory examination of these reveals some very disturbing interactions: LINK: http://www.thedailydarien.com/news/occupy-wall-street-protesters-head-darien We don't need this kind of thing. It does Darien (or Stamford with their 'OCCUPY STAMFORD" or New Canaan with their 'OCCUPY NEW CANAAN' or any of Connecticut, for that matter) no good at all. And it certainly is not in keeping with what should be the 'joy' of this holiday-time of the year. So won't you please join me in praying for all involved here? Please pray that those who are hurt and angry may know 'peace in their hearts' in the spirit of compassion and forgiveness. Above all, do not contribute to that which seeks only to promote discord and tumult across our fine country. At this time in history we should all be 'pulling together'! We should be seeing to it that those most 'at risk'--our young, our elderly, the weak, the poor, the hungry--are comforted and cared for! Thank you & God bless you, all true 'Peacemakers', who I know are here and listening! With Love in Christ Rev. Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross" www.DearOnesHealingMinistry.blogspot.com
Oh...it starts off 'innocuously' enough, but the motive of GAY BULLIES is painfully obvious for those of us who have been assaulted by them and their devious supporters.
So, without much 'ado' here is what's behind the attack of radical gay bullies on churches and other conservative houses of worship, which I pray will be of some consolation to my church-fellows in New York currently struggling with gay rights and gay marriage, specifically.
Points to understand:
1) The gay bullies responsible for the 'uprisings' in houses of worship are typically not regular parishioners or visitors, and do not generally present themselves as genuine persons of faith. Unlike our LGBT loved ones, these gay bullies wish to usurp houses of worship solely for their political and social gain.
2) LGBT persons of faith are likely to attend UCC (United Church of Christ), and Unitarian churches, Disciples of Christ , Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) and other 'liberal wings' of traditional churches. Catholic churches are particular targets of gay bullies due to the church's pedophilia 'history'. Gay marriages are already performed in many churches and in secular settings in certain states. But gay bullies are NOT satisfied with this and wish to infiltrate ALL Catholic and conservative Protestant churches for their own personal punitive reasons.
3) Gay bullies are 'one issue voters' and 'one issue church attendees'. They are most likely to volunteer (if at all) for such things as hospitality, food and beverage preparation and event handling, so they can bring more of their 'fellows' into the church.
4) When gay bullies infiltrate a church, it is important to determine who their 'inside contacts' are. No gay bully can make a furtive or spectacular 'entry' without being enabled by at least a couple of church members who are either gay themselves or have a family member or two who is gay. These church members will invariably end up on the O & A (Open and Affirming) Committee or at least be vitally interested in what's going on with that committee.
5) Once the issue of 'gay marriage' is brought up in a church, it will be decided that a 'discussion of homosexuality' FIRST will be useful. Many hours will be devoted to assuring one and all that, like Christ, 'all are welcome'. Gay bullies bank on the good-will and compassion of clergy and Christians to do their deeds.
6) Should anyone be honest and express any anti-gay sentiment, the gay bullies will shout the person down and label him/her as a 'homophobe', utilizing the typical tactics of bullies everywhere.
7) Gay bullies will polarize a church overnight, thus distracting it from all the other work at hand. Be prepared for this.
8) Where gay bullies gain a foothold in churches, 'false good behavior' prevails in those who do not wish to be 'unliked' or called a 'homophobe'. Free speech will be stifled. The whole 'gay marriage discussion' will go underground...just like the gay bullies prefer it to be.
9) As gay rights are discussed more and more, the subject of gay marriage will come up. Many persons have strong feelings about gay marriage. And many are 'okay' with a civil ceremony as opposed to a 'religious ceremony'. But make no mistake: gay bullies will settle for no less than full religious ceremonies in the sanctuary with a Priest or Minister or Rabbi celebrating. Gay marriage proponents in NEW YORK call those who have strong anti-gay marriage sentiments (and who as clergy may not wish to perform gay marriages, as is their right) as using 'sad, filthy tactics'. "Filthy?" Really? How about I'll keep my religion out of your 'uterus' (or in your case, Alvin, your 'prostate')...if you'll keep your self-righteous gay bullying out of my 'faith life'. Deal? "If this is the case, then it is a sad, filthy tactic which proves that in spite of all of their prayers and talk of upholding God's will, those who oppose marriage equality don't have any suitable arguments to defend their cause and therefore have to exploit the righteous indignation of those oppressed by their lies." http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/
10) Gay bullies and their supporters will insist that just because a church votes to become 'open and affirming' (of LGBT individuals), it does NOT necessarily follow that the church will be performing gay marriages. THIS IS A LIE. Once a church 'goes' 'O & A', gay marriage invariably follows poste haste.
11) Anyone in the church community standing in the way of gay bullies will be confronted with any number of accusations whether true or false, including: claims of violations of civil rights, claims of pedophilia (especially in churches with histories of such), claims of sexual abuse and misbehavior (in the case of Protestant churches where infidelity and illicit affairs are more predominant than pedophilia) and the like. Be aware of this and learn how to protect against 'false accusations'. And if false accusations are made, FOLLOW THROUGH & PROSECUTE!
(Hint for all GAY BULLIES: Another's 'downfall' does NOT serve as justification for your own shortcomings. If you KNOW what it's like to be 'stripped of your rights', why do you seek to strip another of their rights to either perform or not perform gay marriages, each according to their conscience?)
12) Gay bullies will challenge their detractors as being 'bad Christians' for not accepting them and all they demand. They disrespect and discount the Bible and mock long-held Christian beliefs. One of the favorite ploys of gay bullies is to make absurd comparisons of Biblical passages, such as, "Well, if you're going to believe that homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, then you can't have sex with your wife when she's menstruating." Very quickly, discussion with gay bullies in church gets 'weird'. Be prepared for this. http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/2010/10/phony-christians-shedding-crocodile.html
13) Gay bullies get their way by 'intimidation' when they can. Once they are established in the church, they will tell their opponents, "If you don't like it, then leave." Then they will deny saying such a thing. Sadly, many DO leave a church which is overrun by gay bullies.
14) Gay bullies do NOT represent all gays. Most decent gays, like most decent non-gays (Christians and otherwise) can 'live and let live'. Of course, I may be wrong here, but I like to look for the best in people...which is why I've been so successfully 'suckered' over the course of my life, I suppose. Gay bullies only care about what they can get and not a few of them had 'bad experiences' as children at the hands of 'clergy', so to them it's all about that most un-Christian of concepts, 'payback'. Oddly, gay bullies most strongly align these days with Muslims (who also feel sidelined, although most Muslims are not very open-minded about homosexuality). Gay bullies will also align themselves with 'Black Liberation Theology' proponents. This, also, is a curiosity, since the traditional 'Black church' is fairly straight and conservative. "BLACK, GAY & MAD AS HELL" (no kidding!) http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/2008/05/black-gay-and-mad-as-hell-i-was-reading.html
15) The liberal gay community has a lot of resources for gay bullies to use to further their cause. Outside groups will be brought into your church. Protests may be staged. Money may be 'brought in' with the contingency that gay marriages be performed with all the trimmings.
16) The Pastor must provide moral guidance when the church is under attack by gay bullies. If that Pastor has any secrets of their OWN in their closets, or out, they must disclose and deal with it immediately. Gay bullies are great at 'blackmailing'. Any clergy person or church leader who is at risk of being 'blackmailed' should excuse him/herself from any further interaction in positions of authority with gay bullies. Good churches should always police themselves as believers are admonished to in Scripture.
17) Gay bullies are persistent. They say they want your 'approval', but really what they want is 'to be able to have their big church wedding just like everyone else'. There is nothing particularly noble about this, in fact, though only God knows for certain what is in anyone's heart.
18) Gay non-bullies are often uncomfortable by the bully-tactics of their activist brothers and sisters, which is not to say that they don't secretly or openly approve of such tactics. Still, churches need to be aware that closeted gay members may fear being 'outted' by gay bullies and thus may fall away from the church. "The Case For Outting Closeted Politicians" http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/06/14/kruger_outing/index.html This 'falling away' may be misinterpreted as strong disapproval of the gay bullies, thus causing great anguish for non-radical LGBT persons when they feel like they have lost their church home.
19) It's all about power, sex, money and more sex. Gay bullies know this and it serves the church well to know this and react to it with a 'clean heart'. A favorite tactic is disrespectful disruption of church services: Gay activists terrorize Boston church
20) The subject of children is a touchy one. Many gay bullies have no authority over their tongues as they debate 'open and affirming/gay rights/gay marriage' issues in church. Parents must be prepared to protect their children from inappropriate speech and actions. And they must be prepared to 'explain' what gay bullies are all about in ways that are age-appropriate for the individual child.
21) Gay bullies (and other LBGT persons) in church are often found to be involved in 'youth activities'. Gay bullies in particular are keen to 'help' young people 'determine whether or not' a child is gay. I cannot stress strongly enough how imperative it is to be vigilant whenever a radical gay bully seeks close contact with church children. Make sure chaperone's are present. Do background checks! Those who are abused sometimes grow up to be gay bullies who abuse children themselves. In this day and age where anything goes, gay bullies must not be trusted even in a so-called 'church setting'. Gay bullies have issues and have some 'out there' justifications!:
(Hint for all GAY BULLIES: Another's 'downfall' does NOT serve as justification for your own shortcomings. If you KNOW what it's like to be 'stripped of your rights', how DARE YOU attempt to STRIP OTHERS OF THEIRS? (In this case, the right to REFUSE to perform gay marriages!)
22) Gay bullies and their silent but ardent supporters are coming to a church near you. All they care about is gay rights and gay marriage and they will 'damn' anyone who disagrees with them and/or gets in their way. They take advantage of Christian hospitality and Christian kindness, knowing full well that in order for Christians to 'live the Gospel' we must love the sinner along with the saint. And we must know that we cannot always tell the difference between the sinner and the saint either! Scripture tells us very clearly that 'even the elect will be deceived' meaning that even churchmen and women will make bad choices and have bad discernment. We are told that in these days, sexual mores will be lax and libertine lifestyles will be common even in religious settings, so that none of us should be surprised.
23) There is one last 'trick' that gay bullies have which they 'pull in church' in order to further their own selfish gay rights and gay marriage ends. They will start to speak of Jesus as being gay. They will speak of the disciples as being gay. They will speak of Jesus and the disciples having gay sex together and they will speak like this in front of all...including the children they are 'trying to help through their wonder years'. I am not aware that there are any Biblical passages that affirm that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is gay, but I am certain that the liberal left gay bullies have a plethora of evidence. It's amazing how even non-Judeo-Christian gay bullies are quick to pull out a Bible verse they don't believe in if it is useful to make their point! Prepare yourself for such talk. There are no limits when it comes to gay bullies justifying a lifestyle they feel they must justify. They will impugn Mother Mary and the other Mary and all the women in the Bible. They will even go so far-as they have in the O & A gay-friendly, gay-marriage performing churches I am familiar with here in CT-as to call God the Father...'Mother'.
24) I've told you these things so that you are prepared when gay bullies attack your church in New York. Be strong in Christ and testify to the truth. Do not forget to be kind to strangers, but use the wisdom and discernment God gave you to determine what gay bully troublemakers are really all about. Most of all, pray for those, both straight and LGBT, who are NOT like gay bullies, but who simply wish to live their lives in peace and in the Love of God. No evildoers will prevail in the end. But in the meantime, true Christians must be strong so that when gay bullies who are interested only in the things of the world assault them and their houses of worship, they will be prepared.
25) It is claimed that legally, no Priest, Minister, Rabbi or other clergy person can be compelled to perform a gay marriage against their wills, nor force a church or synagogue or social center to service a gay event they are not comfortable with. However, gay bullies are already seeing to it that such 'exemptions' be deemed 'unconstitutional' on the grounds that the rights of gay people will be violated.
As it stands, church leaders and their congregations will be the ones with no rights whatsoever should they oppose gay marriage.
Please keep the New York religious community in prayer with me at this time. I have a 'soft place in my heart' for conservative New Yorkers in the religious community, as I was one of the few 'moderate-conservatives' (now fully conservative!) in liberal Connecticut for many years. The truth was so expertly concealed from me that I want to warn others of this. I want to warn those involved in church politics in New York that they will be lied to. False promises will be made to them. And when all else fails, bully tactics are sure to follow in their wake from those with no consciences or regard for the law. The old adage is: 'give them an inch and they'll take a yard'. The 2011 version of this is: 'give them an inch and they'll try to sue you for violating their 'civil rights' if you don't perform their gay marriages in your churches to their specifications no matter WHAT, if any their 'religious preferences' may be and HOW DARE YOU ASK ANYWAY? I will never alter my perception of marriage as it is given in the Bible and as it is in my heart as God speaks to me: Marriage is a union of men and women for good so that people don't 'stray' (I know, I know...but remember that we are all but dear sinners) wherein those who are intended to bear children do so and those who are so destined adopt. I no longer care if gays get married or not as long as they don't 'get into my face with it'. I don't care if they have a civil or church ceremony, as long as they don't tell me I must sanction gay nuptials in my church sanctuary'. That will not happen. Others are responsible for what THEY do, as I am responsible for what I do! A church sanctuary is a holy place in God's house, no matter that my Progressive lib friends consider it to be nothing more than a 'really neat site to have a wedding and to take pictures with the cool stained glass windows'. Of course, my gay friends, God will know what's really in your hearts and what socio-political points you just had to make at your gay wedding. Rev. Barb is happy to leave it at that. But there are LOTS of pretty places to have your ceremonies and take your photos. Are you sure you really care about our 'churches' or are you just trying to make some kind of 'statement'? To all gay bullies: I want you to consider that there are those of us who dedicate our church sanctuaries for holy activities such as worship, communion, baptism, funerals/memorial services, weddings, confirmations and other life-affirming transitions and celebrations. Do you realize how disrespectful and hurtful you are to insist that you get your way when there are so many other options available to you? I don't expect the 'worst' of gay rights advocates to understand what I am saying here, especially those who don't have a faith life. The greatest thing I can do for them...is to pray for them and wish them well. However, I DO expect gay rights advocates to RESPECT MY RIGHT to feel and say as I do as an American citizen who has a right to freely practice my religion. Neither do I expect GAY BULLIES to understand that my refusal to perform gay marriages is anything other than a PERSONAL CHOICE...and one to which I am entitled, at that. And strangely enough, I am grateful to the LGBT community in Connecticut, New York and surrounding area and especially to those few of you whom I call 'gay bullies': You have made me more aware. You have blessed me and you have freed me. You have solidified my work and my faith and I am grateful for all that you have done. Now I only wish that we could 'work together' in true honesty, without the games and subterfuge. Reverend Barbara Sexton

Dear Ones: By now all have heard that tomorrow May 21, 2011 will be 'Judgement Day'. Believers will be 'Raptured', the dead first and then living believers, a 'concept' which is cherished with wondrous anticipation by many, if not most, genuine Christian believers. I don't know if tomorrow will be the day or not, but my advice to you is this: If you are a Christian striving to live in a 'state of grace', keep on doing what you've been doing. If you are a non-believer, I pray that you will be given the gift of faith. And to 'marginal' Christians, this is a good time to 'firm up' your beliefs and fully put your faith in the Lord. Pray to God that your faith be strengthened. Come what may tomorrow, there are TWO things I DO know for certain: 1) It will be a hey-day for scoffers and non-believers who will reveal the true depths of their religious intolerance and lack of understanding for Christians and other persons of faith ....and 2) As if things were not bad enough in this world already, even today, this so-called 'day before', May 20, 2011, true followers of Christ have an even more difficult path to tread with those around them.

Dear Ones: I certainly have spoken enough in the past about the ever-burgeoning presence of Sharia- compliance in the Nutmeg State of Connecticut. (See keywords below for a number of articles of interest) But the dearth of 'views' of the video above is SHAMEFUL! This is something not only every person in STAMFORD, CT should watch....but so should everyone in this COUNTRY! Oh, and President Obama, you need to watch this, too. I know you and Dan are 'buds', but I do believe he's after your job! Clearly, the Muslim population of Stamford and CT think VERY HIGHLY of our new Governor Dannel Malloy! Sharia lawyer Midhat H. Syed (Midhat Hassan?) (that's the guy lauding Malloy in the bottom end of the video) formerly (?) of Murtha Cullina LLP, Stamford, CT sure likes Malloy, anyway. And that's GOOD....isn't it? I, for one, 'wish' that Dan would use his ever-increasing outreach to the Muslim community to address THE GROSS PERPETUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AND PERPETUALLY INCREASING VIOLENCE of Muslims against Christians and Jews all over the world, especially in Pakistan, Egypt, Libya and Syria. It would be nice if Malloy would have a care for the treatment of WOMEN in Syed's Pakistan and other areas of the world where male Islamodominance prevails. But for now we are content to just 'get out the word' and have as many people as possible watch the video above so that they can draw their own conclusions, since in this day and age, we can hardly believe what our leaders tell us anyway. Witness the recent killing of Bin Laden, with it's myriad of twists and story-telling, and fabrications and nonsense proffered forth by a W.H. spokesman barely old enough to shave. Good luck getting at the the truth anymore, but that's what happens when political callings are at stake in the rough and tumble business known as American politics. The truth becomes fungible. Freedom and freedom of speech is variable and is no longer a 'right' in America today. So take a look at the characters in the video above and consider what this all means regarding the phenomenon known as 'creeping Sharia'. It's 'all good', right? "I Say, Not 'God Damn America', but God Bless America"
I ask all in the world who read this to please join me right now to pray for Rhonda McGlinn who is in extreme pain due to an injurious fall.
Let us pray:
Lord God, hear our prayer.
We seek your Comfort when we are most in need, for we know you never fail us.
While we do not understand the purpose behind the pain and injury we might receive, we trust in your Judgement and Wisdom regarding your intentions for us.
Still, we ask, "Why must we suffer? Why must your child Rhonda McGlinn suffer as she does? What is your purpose for her?"
Please, Heavenly Father, relieve Rhonda's suffering and help her to discern just what is going on in her life at this time and help her to understand the reason for her suffering, and by extension, the suffering of her family and friends.
Please have mercy on Rhonda, Lord, and on all others who grieve and mourn for their loss of good health and well-being.
Bless Rhonda with the strength and grace to bear what she must until she is healed and may her journey from pain to wellness be a testimony toyou.
We are ever expectant, our loving Father...ever faithful and ever grateful and we thank you for all good things on earth and in Heaven.
We pray these things in the Name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit AMEN. Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross" http://www.dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/

Please excuse my poor translation into Arabic, but understand that I have but the best of intentions on this happy day for all of Egypt and the world.
لقد علق بالكاد على الوضع السائد في مصر حتى الآن.
I've scarcely commented on the situation in Egypt until now.
يرجى العلمبأننيمتعاطفجدالمحنةالشعبالمصري
Please know that I am very sympathetic to the plight of the Egyptian people.
لقدحاربتمن أجل حقوق الإنسانطوال حياتي.
I have fought for human rights all my life.
ولكن الحقيقة هي هذه : أريد ماسة لل'الفرح' شعرت في مصر اليوم في ميدان التحرير في القاهرة
والذي يجري الآن ورأى في جميع أنحاء العالم ليكون صحيحا ودائم
But the truth is this: I desperately want the 'JOY' felt in Egypt today in Tahrir Square in Cairo and which is now being felt across the globe to be true and lasting!
أريد من الشعب المصري ليكون حقا 'الديمقراطية'، لأنه من الواضح أنهم يريدون ذلك ويستحقون
ذلك
I want the Egyptian people to be truly 'democratic', for it is clear that they want it and deserve it.
أريد من الشعب المصري أن يكون هناك معيار أعلى بكثير من المعيشة ، لكسب المزيد من المال والحصول على أفضل من كل شيء لأنفسهم ولأطفالهم.
I want the Egyptian people to have a MUCH HIGHER standard of living, to make more money and to have the best of everything for themselves and for their children.
أريدمصرأن تكون دولة ديمقراطيةوتأخذ مكانهااللائقبينالأمم.
I want Egypt to be a democracy and take its rightful place among the nations.
أريدمصرأن تعيشفي سلاممع جميعالدولوالمشاركةفي التجارة العالميةمن اجل المنفعة المتبادلة. I want Egypt to live in peace with all nations and participate in global trade for mutual benefit. أريد ، والأهم من ذلك كله، أن مصر وأمريكا، ونعم، إسرائيل حتى يعيش بعذوبة... معا في سلام ودون خوف من بعضهم البعض. I want, most of all, that Egypt and America and, yes, even Israel live together affably...in peace and without fear of each other.واسمحوا لنا جميعا الذين يريدون هذه الأشياء الصلاة والعمل معا، بغض النظر عن الجنسية أو الدين أو العرق أو الثقافة. Let all of us who want these things pray and work together, no matter what nationality, religion, race, or culture. ومن المؤكد أن الله هو الله جميعا. Surely God is God of us ALL. خالقنا يحبنا وينتشل أولئك الذين يعيشون في الحب والصداقة. Our Creator loves us and uplifts those who live in love and friendship. ومن المؤكد أن يشعر الغبطة اليوم في مصر هو فرصة لا مثيل لها لجميع الرجال والنساء ذوي النوايا الحسنة للعمل معا من أجل تحسين أحوال البشرية جمعاء. Surely the elation felt today in Egypt is an opportunity like no other for all men and women of good will to come together for the betterment of all mankind.
لذا دعونا دعم إخواننا وأخواتنا المصرية مع الرعاية. دعونا مساعدتهم في نضالهم من أجل أفضل طريقة للحياة
So let us support our Egyptian brothers and sisters with care. Let us help them in their struggle for a better way of life.
ونضم صوتنالهمفيتذكرأولئك الذين فقدواحياتهمفيمصر.ونضم صوتناأسرهموأصدقائهم وزملائهموهمحداداعلىفقداناحبائهم.We join them in remembering those who have lost their lives in Egypt. We join their families, friends and colleagues as they mourn the loss of their loved ones. نرسل حبنا والدعم لإخواننا وأخواتنا في مصر الذين يحبون الحرية. We send our love and support to our brothers and sisters in Egypt who love freedom. بارك الله فيكم ويحفظ لك، God Bless & Keep You, القس باربرا قندلفت Reverend Barbara Sexton "الكتاب المقدس والكيمياء الحيوية، حيث يلتقي العلم الصليب" "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross" http://www.dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية From the United States of America
"Conservative or Progressive, the Message is the same for believers & non-believers alike and we must not forget it":
"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."

January 27 marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly designated this day as International Holocaust Remembrance Day (IHRD), an annual day of commemoration to honor the victims of the Nazi era. Every member nation of the U.N. has an obligation to honor the memory of Holocaust victims and develop educational programs as part of an international resolve to help prevent future acts of genocide.

Praise G-d for His Love & Mercy!
