"Breaking Boundaries Karaoke For A Cause For Disabled Children by Alexandra Kaluta & Brianna Malgioglio At Connetquot H.S." Posted By Reverend Barbara Sexton

Dear Ones:
     Here is a special 'treat' for you...and I'm not just saying that because Alexandra is my niece LINK: http://www.facebook.com/people/Alexandra-Kaluta/1164525530! 
     The video is a little 'fuzzy', but I think you'll agree that Alexa and Brianna are two very talented young ladies 'singing for a great cause'.
     Alexandra Kaluta and Brianna Malgioglio present their rendition of "The Dark I Know Well", sung at a "Karaoke For a Cause" Performance at Connetquot High School on 11/15/10.

Dear Ones:

     It must be 'Christmas', with never a dull moment.  Last night the world was treated to a lunar eclipse--a wondrous sight to behold for those who saw it 'live' and/or recorded this morning.
     The 'breaking news' is that Japan has just suffered a major earthquake this past hour.  And we hear that California is suffering from unprecedented precipitation.
     According to the USGS LINK: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/, the data for the Japan quake are as follows:

"Our Day Laborers Are Here & They Need Us Conservatives To Help Them Survive This Winter" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

http://www.free-foto-animation-digital-images.blogspot.com/
Dear Ones:
     I know that this Christmas Season is fraught with many considerations for all of us.
     We've financial considerations, health considerations, time constraints, travel concerns and more.
     We're busy with Christmas, with celebrating Hanukkah, with the Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa and even with 'Festivus'.
     Originally a 'joke holiday' of Seinfeld origin, Festivus is a 'silly-yet-appealing concept' which both the 'religious' and 'non-religious' like to joke about.
     As 'Wikipedia' says, "Celebrants of the holiday sometimes refer to it as "Festivus for the rest of us...". LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus  I pose this here in deference to my atheist and agnostic friends, having been one myself for the first 37 years of my life.
     I pray you'll bear with me in mentioning all of this.
     Whoever you are, my message is for you, whatever your religious, political, socio-economic, cultural or ethnic 'preference'.  It does not matter what your age is or, for that matter, what you do for a living or where you live.
     What I want to say is this:  We have literally STARVING and FREEZING DAY LABORERS in Stamford, CT.  You know where they are-under I-95 at the 'pick-up spots' that we have become familiar with.
     No matter what your stance on 'immigration' is, these fellows are willing to work...a trait which sets them apart from many others.
     Not surprisingly, many of these men are in need of many things.  I ask you in the name of Christian Compassion--even those of you who are Jewish or of other religious persuasion or even of no religious persuasion at all--to have mercy and help such as these.
     These workers are here now.
     Please donate your unneeded SIZE LARGE and MEDIUM WINTER COATS and other items.  It's an easy thing for you to do, as easy as going through your closets.
     Having a man freeze to death will do nothing to further the cause of 'just' immigration reform.  And it doesn't say much of us as Americans. 
     It is cruel to pretend to be a 'sentient peoples' while we ignore basic human needs.
     I'm not asking you to put your political convictions aside.  I am not asking you to be a 'patsy' for the progressive-lib Dems whom I've railed on for lo these many months since before the 2010 Mid-Term elections.  We exist as minority conservatives in a very liberal state.
     But I am asking you to cull out/wash/clean your winter outerwear and drop them off at St. Mary's Church on Elm Street Friday Dec. 17, 2010 after 8:30 p.m.--if you are able.
     I'm sure anything you can drop off at any time will be equally appreciated, if you can't make it by Friday.  Just call LUCAS ROMERO at 203-820-6874.
     Things needed are:
--large and medium winter coats
--gloves
--hats
--scarves
LINK: http://blog.stamfordadvocate.com/stamford411/2010/12/15/a-chance-to-lend-a-helping-hand/
     Stamford Partnership, CRISOL, and QUETZAL Group LINK: http://www.stamfordpartnership.com/current.html as well as the church will distribute these items at St. Mary's Church Saturday Dec. 18, 2010 from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
     Coats are not 'Amnesty' or a capitulation to the radical left.  They are simply a conduit to human compassion to decently deal with the immigration situation as it is today.  So in the name of Christ, I ask you to clean out your closets.
     A day will come when believers will be asked, "Did you not know that Jesus was a homeless man?"
     Your answer will be 'Yes',  I pray.
Thank you and God Bless you,
Reverend Barbara Sexton

"The Wisdom Of The Animals" By Reverend Barbara Sexton, Dear Ones Healing Ministry

A Nativity Scene was erected in a church yard.

During the night the folks came across this scene.

An abandoned dog was looking for a comfortable, protected place to sleep.

He chose baby Jesus as his comfort.
No one had the heart to send him away so he was there all night.

We should all have the good sense of this dog and curl up in Jesus' lap from time to time.

This is too sweet not to share.  No one mentioned that the dog breed is a "shepherd!"

Please remember our animal friends this Christmas & always

"Please Pray With Me For Stamford Police Officer Richard Gasparino" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

courtesy www.JellyMuffin.com

Dear Ones

     Please pray with me right now for Stamford Police Officer Richard Gasparino, callously shot in the face on Thursday Dec. 10, 2010.
LINK: http://www.greenwichcitizen.com/news/article/Stamford-felon-charged-with-shooting-police-873104.php

LET US PRAY

Dear Lord God: 

We come to you this day to ask for your Special Intervention.

We pray that you will spare the life and health of your child Police Officer Richard Gasparino and restore him to complete wellness and back into the arms of his loving family and friends.

Please instill in P.O. Gasparino a 'fullness of spirit' that allows him to not only recover from the physical and psychic wounds he has received in the line of duty...but that he be ever stronger, able and more determined than even before this event.

Give his family, friends and colleagues courage and fortitude and sustain them at this time and always, we ask you dear Father in Heaven...and give them great HOPE, especially during this holiday season.

May our fears evaporate and may our indignation be placated by your righteous Judgment--that those who are guilty be appropriately punished, even as we pray for their repentance and rejuvenation...if that be possible.

Blessed are we who walk with you, Lord.  And so we glorify your Name as we ask all good people to step forth in the name of Truth in order to help at this time.

We do pray these things in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

AMEN

"A Christmas 'Laugh' For Today" Posted By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

Myspace christmas Comments
From 'e-mail.
We ALL need a little laugh once in a while...
(Thanks Uncle Charlie for sending this along!)
    When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
     Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
     When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
     Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
     Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
     Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
     And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
    
     Not a lot of people know this.
***********************************
Even in the 'best and worst' of the holiday season, let us all remember to keep our senses of humor and be able to put things into perspective.  This I pray for YOU, dear ones!
With Love in Christ,

"Today Dec 1 Is World AIDS DAY: A Reflective Lesson" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

http://blog.bioethics.net/2008/12/world-aids-day-how-far-weve-comeand-still-how-far/

Dear Ones:
     You may have 'heard me' say this before; "If HIV AIDS were easily transmissible, I would be dead by  now". 
     I say it because it's true.
     I was 'in' biomedicine in the years immediately preceding the full 'out-cropping' of this horrific disease, during which time I literally handled and processed as many as twenty liters at a time of pooled human blood serum for 'cell culture' at Sloan-Kettering.
    We all knew what we were exposing ourselves to potentially and we all knew what the risks were.
     Prior to the full-emergence of 'AIDS', our main concerns in the lab were the usual blood-borne infectious agents such as hepatitis, reasonably well-understood and accepted 'risks'. 
     My technique was always excellent, but one can never discount the occasional bad-luck, unavoidable 'accident', such as a slip or spill or 'needle stick'. 
     Thank God I never suffered one of those, although in those late-70's/early 80's years I didn't do much praying (or any) for I was yet a proud atheist-agnostic back then.
     Coincidentally, a few years later, AIDS as a 'community concern' was just rearing it's head where I was living in Stamford, CT and a 'new Christian'.
     You can believe that few 'knew' about AIDS and HIV in those days and even 'fewer' cared about it, if they did.  And NO ONE wanted to 'work' with HIV+ patients if they could avoid it.
     But my universe was working with homeless individuals, female prostitutes, male prostitutes and many i.v. drug users. 
      So there was no escaping anything related to that emerging terror known as 'AIDS'.
     In my capacity first as a 'secretary' and then as a Soldier in The Salvation Army...I was there on the front lines. 
     I didn't want to be and I didn't ask to be, but I was immersed up-to-my-eyeballs when 'AIDS' first reared it's head in our area.
     I was there when the first few clinic patients walked into my office for a counseling session, test results in hand and 'collapsed' in grief, misery, fear and disbelief. 
     These poor souls were amongst the first to be diagnosed as 'HIV Positive' and who were struggling to know 'what does that mean'?  And they were amongst 'the first' to be modern-day 'lepers' as far as society was concerned.
     I write about this in detail in my upcoming book 'ENTERTAINING ANGELS' LINK:  http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/01/entertaining-angels-book-by-former_27.html
     You will read about those 'first' heart wrenching months when we began regular HIV testing.  You will read how exposed I was to the body fluids and substances of HIV+ individuals who were 'acting out' due to concurrent psychiatric issues.
     No distinction was made back then between 'HIV Positive' and 'AIDS', but you can imagine where my biochemist's mind was going each time a situation presented itself.
     You will read how I clutched a dear HIV+ lady to myself, resulting in my having a soaked-to-the-skin tear-drenched blouse and slip as I consoled her and she asked me to 'explain her test results'.
     In those early days of AIDS, you will read how I managed to get my own personal physician (a Stamford doctor many of you know!) to volunteer in our Clinic downstairs and how he monitors me to this day.
     And you will read how I 'gave permission' for the very first 'AIDS SUPPORT GROUP' to meet in the 'conference room' across from my tiny Salvation Army office on the first floor on (the old) Beehler Street HQ (Headquarters).
     Finally, you will read about my 'crisis pregnancy work' of many years wherein I was just as likely to 'send a gal for a pregnancy test' as I was to send her for an 'AIDS test' and the agony of waiting it all out. 
     You will read of the shock and disbelief of those early days when few acknowledged, let alone understood, the vagaries of this multi-faceted, multi-formed Human Immunodeficiency Virus in all its 'incarnations'.
     No one wanted to 'be involved' back then.  Everyone was 'afraid' and those who say otherwise are not being truthful. 
     My story needs to be told of the emergence of AIDS in Fairfield County, CT.  The 'early days' of this socio-medical saga must not be forgotten or glossed over, or, worse still, ignored.
     It is a tale of fear turned to hope, and of prejudice turned to compassion.
     And in it lies hope and guidance for dealing with what the future may hold.
God Bless You this World AIDS DAY 2010 & every day
Reverend Barbara Sexton
