I do not know if you heard (I certainly hadn't) but Stamford, CT has suffered a disastrous loss of life....in Marvel Comics, that is.  You see, per their series Civil War II 1 & 2:

"The disastrous loss of life in Stamford, CT sparked the creation of the Superhuman Registration Act, a bill that required all US heroes to register their identities with the government and submit to training and regulation. The SHRA split the superhero community down the middle, with Iron Man leading the pro-registration faction and Captain America spearheading an underground resistance movement. When the dust from their war finally settled, Cap turned himself in and registration became the law of the land (for a while, at least)."

Stamford, CT, eh?  They must be talking about the West side...and other areas.. with all their recent gun violence.

Not a day goes by recently that there isn't a shooting or some kind of violence in Stamford.  Speaking for myself, doing social and ministry work here is no picnic at all and I am always on guard against becoming a victim of some kind.

I shall have to investigate the 'etiology' of 'Civil War II's choice of Stamford as the focus of violence so  rampant that 'superheroes' must be involved.  I mean, they could have chosen Detroit or Hartford or some similar place where death by 'bad guys' is endemic.

I welcome your comments as we explore this together, either here or on Facebook.

What I won't do is leave this topic unstudied, unquestioned and not pondered, nor scrutinized.

We've got a 'situation' here, with this 'disastrous loss of life', in reality, as well as in fiction.

Anybody listening?

Kudos To Green Beret Heroes Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland & Capt. Daniel Quinn For Their Righteous Acts By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

 Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/apr/28/green-beret-martland-hunter-army/

When is a hero 'not' a hero?

Apparently, when the US Army is pretending to be 'politically correct' by throwing out two heroes responsible for truly good and righteous acts.

Capt. Daniel Quinn

http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/2015/09/30/defenders-mount-support-ousted-green-beret-charles-martland/72996486/

This is exactly what happened to two Green Berets, Capt. Daniel Quinn and Sgt.1st Class Charles Martland after 'dealing with' an Afghan police commander who likes little boys way too much.

"At issue was a 2011 altercation that Martland and a Green Beret officer had with the Afghan police commander, who was known for sexually abusing a boy and chaining the child to his bed."
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/apr/28/green-beret-martland-hunter-army/

If you've never heard of this type of behavior before, readers, you are in for a shock.

"Called bacha bazi, or “boy play,” the abuse is a longtime custom practiced in parts of Afghanistan — and in Iraq and other Middle Eastern places where American troops have served for more than a decade, analysts have said."
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/apr/28/green-beret-martland-hunter-army/

and

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/28/politics/green-beret-discharged-for-beating-alleged-child-rapist-speaks-out/

You see, in Afghanistan, it is their 'culture' to rape and molest young boys for their entertainment.  The men, I mean.  And worse still, US military service members are prevented from interfering with such 'practices'.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/21/world/asia/us-soldiers-told-to-ignore-afghan-allies-abuse-of-boys.html?_r=0

This is one way men treat boy children like sexual play things in this video of the 'dancing boys' known as 'Bacha Bazi':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IABZVbQ_rbg

and:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIPBGC3QOWE

There is a price to pay for being allowed the 'privilege' of gaining the trust of and interacting with the local Afghans, to which our heroes said, in effect, 'no thanks to you, buddy', referring to Afghan Local Police commander Abdul Rahman in particular.
http://www.stripes.com/news/green-beret-who-hit-admitted-afghan-child-rapist-will-stay-in-the-army-1.406959

Turning a blind eye to this brand of pedophilia just wasn't going to cut it at all for our guys here.

But I can report a 'somewhat' happy ending with what follows.

Brave Hero Capt. Daniel Quinn has left the US Army, while Brave Hero Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland has been allowed to stay in the Army.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/04/29/army-retains-decorated-green-beret-it-planned-to-kick-out-over-confronting-afghan-child-rapist.html

and

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/28/politics/green-beret-afghan-police-confrontation/

We are so grateful for Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland and for Capt. Daniel Quinn, that they and their families and friends may now have some peace of heart over this matter

Thank you, Gentlemen, for your bravery, courage, honor and determination.  We are very sorry for the pains you have endured.

May your moral decency ever spread and flourish and reach all souls across the globe.

And may God truly bless you fine Soldiers, you fine Americans, with an abundance of all the good things you deserve so much.

With love in Christ,
Rev. Barb

Syrian Refugees Welcomed In Stamford, CT by Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

How Isis Smuggles Terrorists Among Syrian Refugees

http://www.newsweek.com/how-isis-smuggles-terrorists-among-syrian-refugees-453039

 It's a big secret and we don't have much information, but apparently SIRS (Stamford Integrated Refugee Services) is welcoming Syrian refugees to Stamford today! https://www.facebook.com/fccstamford

"An update and URGENT request from our SIRS action team.... (4/17/16)
Our Syrian family is coming to Stamford in ten days. We are delighted to have secured the apartment for them and are thankful that the Westchester Refugee Task Force has gotten the furniture and some household goods to furnish it..."  read more at https://www.dropbox.com/s/vl0yl833ctaj21q/SIRS_wants_and_wish_list.xls?dl=0

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.

(Additional link added 4/30/16)  http://www.fccstamford.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Crossroads-April-2016.pdf
"SIRS group is prepared and funded (thanks to a $10,000 gift from an anonymous donor) to receive a refugee family in Stamford.  Thank God that this group was able to organize themselves with representatives from and community groups in Stamford and get approved in record time!"

What does this mean?  Who's involved?



God Bless You,

Who Killed Delbert Belton? By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

Suspects: Demetrius Glenn (above), 16, was arrested for the murder of Delbert Belton; his alleged accomplice, 16-year-old Kenan Adams Kinard (below), is on the loose

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

     

"Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Daughter Indicted for Alleged Money Laundering" By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright leaves the Selma Performing Arts Center, March 5, 2009, in Selma, Ala.

"Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Daughter Indicted for Alleged Money Laundering"

"By LEE FERRAN (@leeferran) and BRIAN ROSS (@brianross)

April 11, 2013"

"The daughter of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama's controversial former pastor, has been accused of laundering money in an alleged $1.25 million fraud led by an ex-police chief in Illinois.
Jeri L. Wright, 47, was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday for allegedly accepting $28,000 from former police chief Regina Evans and her husband, ex-police officer Ronald Evans, for Wright's supposed work related to the Evanses' not-for-profit program called We Are Our Brother's Keeper. Approximately $20,000 of that money, however, found its way back into bank accounts controlled by the Evanses, prosecutors said.
According to a release from the Department of Justice, Wright was playing a part in a scheme by the Evanses to misuse a $1.25 million state grant that had been awarded to the not-for-profit program in 2009.
We Are Our Brother's Keeper was supposed to spend the money on training up to 40 participants in bricklaying and electrical work at a Regal Theater also owned by the Evanses, but the indictment alleges that "little, if any, of the training provided in the grant agreement was ever completed."
The Evanses have been charged with more than 10 fraud-related counts. In addition to the alleged money laundering, Wright stands accused of making false statements to federal law enforcement officers and lying to a grand jury. If convicted, Wright could face potentially decades in prison."

Dear Ones:
     Heaven knows that the world of organized religion regularly 'sees' its share of gross illegalities and immoralities.
     But this article about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's daughter, Jeri L. Wright, got our attention.
     You will recall that Wright is a major proponent of the 'Black Liberation Theology' and its follow-up 'white privilege programs', popular not only in his Chicago church, but here, as well,  in the progressive liberal United Church of Christ And Unitarian Universalist churches in Connecticut and elsewhere.
     The 'theme' of these 'paradigms' is not to 'unite', but to 'demonize and divide'.
     Worse , the ultimate goal is to 'dominate' those who were former oppressors.
     As if.
     As if that is a suitable solution, any more than 'white supremacism' is a suitable solution.
      People need to get real!
      Any movement set upon deliberately shredding and unraveling the racial fabric of the United States has historically been doomed to failure ever since the Civil War.
     Somehow or another, Americans have managed to have the ''triumph of spirit' that allowed for this.
     But I see a 'change' in the air.  I see a country in all kinds of distress.  And I see a complete 'system overload' on 'false dialogues on race'.
     What might have started as reasonable dialogue has, thanks to the deadening overkill of 'political correctness', dissolved into silent resentment, fear, deceit and the bearing of false witness.
     'Race communications' have fallen by the 'wayside' in the looming shadow of threats of terrorism, financial collapse and other 'quality-of-life horrors' so endemic in the United States today.
     Worse, 'race conversations' that remain are being further obfuscated by those injecting 'Islamist' considerations them, in this day and age where everything revolves around 'terrorism'.
     I say Americans need to 'reboot and reengage' on the race issue.  We need to not 'give up' on discussions of race, because we are witnessing a decline in interracial civility, the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.
     But we have to keep it 'real', as I said.  And the way to do that is to disregard all vestiges of the bogus 'political correctness' that have brought us to where we are today.
     We can and should rationally observe the actions of those who abuse their 'positions of power' on ALL sides of the race debate, learn from them and vow to never 'do the same', ourselves.
     We can 'say we've had enough' and choose to work for 'good', but only if we throw off the mantle of false speech, false pride and false doctrine.  If you can't play this way, this is not for you, of course.
     For all others, especially for those of the Judeo-Christian tradition and for those who do not purely wish to 'dominate others', I suggest this:
     Let us subscribe to 'God Liberation Theology' first.
     It's worth a shot.
God Bless You
With Love In Christ,
Rev. Barbara Sexton

"Easter -- A Season For God And Family" By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

123Tagged.com - More Easter Blessings Comments

Dear Ones:

     We live in a hustling, bustling 'work-a-day' world...And it's not always easy to take time to 'smell the daffodils and tulips'.

     But today is a special day.  Today is the most important day for Christians all over the world, because it heralds the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus.

     We take time out from our busy lives today to worship and spend the day with family and friends.

     We pray, we hunt for eggs, have fun with the children, enjoy a wonderful Easter meal together....And, more likely than not, eat way more chocolate than we ought to!

     Yet, amid all this 'fun', there are times when true 'spiritual breakthroughs' occur, for the very fabric of this day lends itself to discussions and meditations of all that is God-breathed.

     In fact, Easter is a time when some may even decide that they wish to be baptized.
     And here I have some interesting information for you:  Did you know that any baptized Christian may baptize another with 'full authority'?  It's true.
  (Disclaimer: I realize that certain denominations do not consider laity to be 'qualified' in this regard, except in emergencies, and that certain denominations and individuals do not feel that a 'woman' (myself) is qualified to be clergy and speak as I do, but for those who are other-minded, please read on.)
 

The Great Commission

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. ¹⁷ When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. ¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Mt 28:16-20 (NIV)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+28&version=NIV

 

     My message to you is this:  one need not necessarily use 'Jordon River water' to baptize a person seized by the Spirit of the Lord and asking for a fellow Believer to baptize them.

     Any Believer may take pure water and 'bless it' for Holy use and then proceed to use it to 'baptize'.

     ALL Christian Believers are qualified and, are indeed, 'commanded' to GO FORTH and baptize others in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!

     From a 'private baptism' in a family bathroom on Easter Day to a heart-wrenching, yet life-affirming one performed in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) on a precious infant in an 'Isolette' (using sterile water and a sterile eye-dropper), one never knows when the need to baptize may appear.

     So, dear ones, if someone should ever ask you to baptize them, proudly proclaim your 'authority' as a Believer and do it!

     Whether it be a 'normal day', at an 'accident scene' or other disaster or when clergy are simply unavailable, step up and fulfill that request.

       Do it and live, so that the person you baptize can 'live', just as Christ lives and bids us to be his 'hands, feet and hearts' on this earth.

May Your Easter Be Especially Blessed,

Rev. Barb
