Dear Ones:
It is good to know that the "Marine Musician of the 21st Century is as proficient at firing the M240B Machine Gun as he is at playing his instrument at a military ceremony".Dear Ones:
For the USMC Marine Band gave an OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE at Westhill High School in Stamford, CT on Saturday, May 28 this 2011 Memorial Day weekend!
Marine Corps veteran Pat Battinelli of the city's Patriotic and Special Events Commission thanked U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., for bringing the Marine Corps Band to Stamford.

Thanks were and are also extended to Mayor Pavia and Westhill H.S. Principal Camille Figluizzi for making this concert possible.
And, most of all, a BIG THANK YOU to:
---Band Officer (Director) CWO2 Chief Warrant Officer 2 Joshua A. Stone
---Band Master (Concertmaster) MSGT Master Sergeant William L. Call, Jr.
---Narrator GYSGT Gunnery Sergeant Jayme D. Dalberg and...
---THE PARRIS ISLAND MARINE BAND!!!
The crowd that amassed at Westhill's auditorium consisted primarily of those over 50, with most actually 70 years of age and over.
Not many young people attended this event (no surprise in a 'liberal' state like Connecticut), though the parade always attracts more of the younger crowd.
Arguably and to her chagrin, my 13 year old granddaughter was one of the very youngest there, being full witness to the extent of her grandparents and others' fierce sense of pride and patriotism in the U.S.A.
We explained why there was nary a dry eye in the place as the USMC Band played and we stood and honored and remembered and enjoyed the beautiful music.
We each must teach young people to appreciate their 'freedom and liberty' before it is too late!
So download the program bulletin above as a keepsake if you like and check out my YouTube uploads of parts of the concert for you to enjoy, including a moving and heartfelt tribute to local veterans.
God Bless You & God Bless America

"And The Rockets' Red Glare: Memorial Day Gratitude To Our Heroes" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'
We stand solemnly...hands over our hearts (well, most of us, anyway)...as we sing our beloved National Anthem 'The Star-Spangled Banner'.
It is Memorial Day and we honor military service members who have died for our country.
Nary a dry eye will be found amongst 'those who truly care' about the United States of America and let those who feel otherwise while enjoying the benefits of America be but 'objects of their own shame'.
For this is a time of reflection and communion for the rest of us.
It is a time to cling to the good and pray for those who loved liberty enough to have died for it.
It is a time to memorialize those who fought for us so that we may live in freedom and thus we pray:
"Heavenly Father, hear our prayers:
We pray for those who have fought and died for us.
Is it possible that You might let them know just how grateful we are?
We remember their sacrifice and we are humbled.
We pray that we are worthy of enjoying the liberty and freedom they have presented to us.
Instill in us right-minded hearts and make us 'deserving', Lord.
Lead us to similar service for the betterment of others,
Known to care and ever-caring,
We put our trust in You, our one and only God.
For you love us...and care for us...and know that you bless America.
We pray these things with hearts overflowing with thanks in the name of your Precious Son Jesus Christ."
AMEN
Did you know that 'The Star-Spangled Banner' has four stanzas?
Although usually only the first stanza is sung, our National Motto "In God We Trust" is derived from the line 'In God is our Trust' in the fourth stanza, which was adopted in 1956...
And don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
LINK:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner The Star-Spangled Banner
O! say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
’Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation.
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust;”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave![12]
GOD BLESS AMERICA

"Blogger Ken Dixon's Cancer Disclosure Article " By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'
Ken Dixon http://blog.ctnews.com/dixon/
Dear Ones: There are times in life where many of the usual rules no longer apply.
And such is the case when cancer strikes.
C-a-n-c-e-r...this most feared of medical conditions, strikes the entire circle of loved ones of the person affected.
Make no mistake; cancer is very much a family disease, sparing neither the very youngest, nor those rich in age.
It likewise strikes the 'known', as well as the 'unknown', and the 'good', as well as the 'bad'...whatever that happens to mean.
Of course the words I use here are mere human qualifiers, for who can tell who truly is GOOD or not so good, on any given day or at any given time?
Indeed the best that humankind can truly expect to 'agree upon' are judgement calls where truly horrendous actions prevail whereupon most sentient human beings can agree that 'evil is afoot'.
Through the ages, a singular theory has been floated that 'cancer is a punishment reserved for those who need chastening'.
RUBBISH, I say, to that! I do not believe that our Lord allows for such as this, especially in view of the fact that innocent babes contract cancer all the time.
Consider also the concept of a 'cancer personality', meaning that a category of human exists which is particularly vulnerable to developing cancer.
I've studied this theory for a life-time now and can say that if there is anything 'approaching' a bona fide 'cancer personality', it is one where stress rules and medical care neglect reigns in a person's life.
These are qualifiers particularly difficult to discern second-hand, and, so, I am prone to debunk the theory of 'a cancer personality', as I do the concept of cancer being used as 'God's punishment'.
But here are some things I DO know about cancer:
--A person's entire life changes when cancer is diagnosed, as does that of the patient's family.
--Some prefer to share their saga publicly, while others do not. It is a personal choice. Just be aware that once a person's cancer is 'made public', there's no taking it back.
--Once people 'know' of someone's cancer, everyone's reaction will change towards this person, be it family, friends, employers, employees, 'readers', fans and everyone else whose life has been touched by the cancer patient. In some places, even today, a 'cancer diagnosis' is perceived to be a thing of shame. This is borne of ignorance.
--There may be some merit to keeping one's own counsel when it comes to sharing one's cancer diagnosis with the world. Only in this way can a cancer patient avoid the inevitable 'false niceness' that arises when people learn that one has cancer. This 'niceness' can be grievous, indeed, since it is so flagrantly evident and it always seems to arise from the most unexpected of persons.
--Most patients and their families turn to their faith life, or lack thereof, in a fresh way, for better or for worse. Some turn to God for love and support, and other believers 'hate Him'. Atheists and agnostics have no one to blame, except...perhaps... some hapless health care provider. So they will turn their wrath elsewhere unless and until they can accept their diagnosis and lose their anger.
--There will be those who completely 'drop out' of a cancer patient's life, rather than face the prospect of having to deal with cancer 'face-to-face'. Try not to be too hard on those who stay away, for they will know well what they have done or not done.
--People 'there' for the cancer patient in the beginning will 'drop away' over time for any number of reasons. Remember that people have their own troubles and one can never know who, themselves, has cancer or is struggling to live with the cancer diagnosis and treatment of a loved one. You just never know!
--Everything changes when one has cancer, even the little things. Perception of day-to-day matters, for instance, take on greater or lesser importance, dependent upon the severity of the cancer diagnosis and all else related to it.
--Money matters take center stage as medical costs escalate for the family, sometimes bankrupting them completely. It is best not to have overly-high expectations for help if it is not readily apparent that it is available.
--Eventually the patient (and his or her 'advocate' if they are lucky enough to have one) stands alone in the face of the never-ending options presented as part of their cancer care.
--Any and all emotional reactions are influenced by the many drugs (including anaesthesia), treatments, surgeries, radiations, etc a cancer patient is likely to be subject to, so it is good to 'expect the unexpected'. Therapeutic 'steroids' can induce a rage like no other after extended treatment, for instance, as can some of the psychotropic drugs used for anxiety and depression control.
--And finally, at the end of the day, a person with cancer will learn beyond a shadow of a doubt who their 'true friends' are and who really, truly cares about them.
There are many other 'changes' attendant to dealing with cancer and the patient has a choice: he/she can either choose to be alternately dying from/suffering with/living with/fighting against/struggling with/gaining over/beating/triumphing over this dread condition.
The head and the heart determine many a cancer outcome.
Rest assured, your choice of reaction and mind-set (or 'free will' as we believers would say) is about the only thing the cancer patient can truly control to even the slightest degree. It takes time, but eventually a good number of cancer patients figure this out for themselves.
And this brings us to the very public disclosure by 'Blog-O-Rama' Ken Dixon's recent disclosure that he has bladder cancer.
In fact, it is a rather lengthy piece intended to send out a very good lesson, which I will even repeat here: 'If there's blood in your urine-even absent other signs and symptoms-get thee to a doctor immediately'!
Good advice, that. Dixon's syndicated newspaper column also contained an attempt at humor ('bladder ball'?) to be taken with a grain of salt, the overall message being one of a person with cancer 'reaching out' to all in his time of need--a most human response to a devastating diagnosis.
It would be no surprise if Ken picks up where he left off in the blogosphere and/or on Facebook with a detailed blow-by-blow description of the ordeal he is going through, albeit for a much smaller, specialized 'audience' than the one he reaches through newspaper syndication.
Forums and blogs abound on every medical subject under the sun. Such endeavors are educational and cathartic, indeed, and it is always good to share information and inspiration with others, as one can.
But poor Ken has a problem with inspiration, which he reveals as openly as his bladder cancer diagnosis:
"This whole bladder business dates back to mid-February when I finally admitted that those were traces of blood in my urine. That was the only symptom. No pain, just a few drops of blood at the end of a urination.
From there the CAT scan showed some sort of polyp activity on the inside. My first urologist initially played his cards close to his chest, but said that if it was the worst, if it was cancer, I could always pray.
Praying is not a medical option for an atheist."
I can understand Dixon's need to dig his heels in and assert his life's paradigm of atheism.As I said above, "Most patients and their families turn to their faith life, or lack thereof, in a fresh way, for better or for worse".
But I have good news for Ken here. HE need not believe himself, for the prayers of others to be effective for him!
Numerous studies have proven that even those with no faith, for atheists and for the agnostic doubters amongst us, intercessory and substitutionary prayer works!
So Ken's in good hands spiritually, so long as believers do what they should and pray for someone and their family who are suffering.
God grant Ken and his loved ones the strength, fortitude and discernment they need at this time in their struggle with his bladder cancer.
And may God Bless the hands and hearts of health care providers, especially those who pray and who counsel their patients to do like-wise.

"Forget Judgement Day: CDC Issues 'Zombie Apocalypse' Preparedness Plan" By Reverend Barbara Sexton The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"
Dear Readers:
It's no joke! No less than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also known as the 'CDC', has come out with a bonafide 'Zombie Apocalypse Plan'.
Without further ado, I urge you to check out the LINK below for your reading pleasure...or displeasure...depending upon your point of view, that is.
Probably it's all in 'good fun', this legitimizing of the 'zombie' genre so popular today, by what is supposed to be a drop-dead, serious, 'scientific' governmental entity.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
One hopes and prays that our friends at the CDC remain ever-vigilant for that which is REALLY scary and for REAL diseases such as the rare and unheard of case of a previously healthy 14 year old boy in Uruguay being killed by western equine (horse) encephalitis.
LINK: http://www.cdc.gov/eid/content/17/5/952.htm
LINK: http://www.cdc.gov/eid/content/17/5/952.htm
But why be so gloomy?
For now we enjoy this chuckle, with the hope that any 'real life' zombies encountered are every bit as 'slow and sloppy' as their movie counterparts and thus can be readily dispatched.
I can't think of any known medical illnesses, conditions or syndromes at the present time which completely 'resemble' zombie-ism, but if one does come to mind, rest assured I will write about it here.
Do be sure to sign up for Reverend Barbara Sexton's FREE NEWSLETTER just in case(see below) and stay current with all 'Zombie News' from a biochemist's viewpoint as it is breaking
As it is, a number true 'zombie-believers' are convinced of the existence of our flesh-eating friends, and that is no joke to those who are truly afraid.
Perhaps the CDC decided that, 'imaginary or not', it would be best to address the zombie phenomenon once and for all and put some minds to rest.
Yet...I don't know about you, but checking out the CDC LINK below is not exactly comforting!
All that 'emergency-preparedness' talk is SKEERY!
It is said that 'art imitates life', though in this case, I would say more correctly that it is 'science' that is now imitating art.
And if that isn't weird enough, the CDC timed the release of this article to coincide with what some predict to be Judgement Day, May 21, 2011.
What are the feds trying to tell us?
Crazy though it all is, maybe it's all in good fun and we all have nothing to worry about at all.
Maybe this zombie page is all just a ploy to get people to read up on 'preparedness issues'.
Then, again, maybe there ARE zombies amongst us and we are being warned.
LOOK OOOOOOOOOOUT!!!
God Bless You

"What I Know For Certain About Judgement Day May 21, 2011" By Reverend Barbara Sexton
courtesy www.TurnBackToGod.com
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.
With Love in Christ,

"All Sharia All The Time: The Mutual Love Of Gov Dan Malloy & Midhat Syed & Co." By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry' "
WATCH THIS ON YOUTUBE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7JZBeSPCEI&feature=player_embedded#at=19
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?

May we teach our children, by example, to respect and obey our law enforcers at all times and thereby insure a more peaceful existence in these days and the ones to come.
And most importantly, Heavenly Father, we ask that you bless, protect and keep our Stamford Police Officers and their loved ones from harm all the days of their lives.

God Bless You For Taking the time to read this and for helping assure the security, safety and freedom of our fine country!
Unity. Honor. Respect. Pride.

Not much is known about the members of SEAL Team 6, but we can be sure that they come from all walks of life; united by their common bond of brotherhood and love of country. They represent a cross section of America; all colors, religions and political persuasions. They are united, focused and patriotic. They are the best of what we as a nation can be. SEALs approach every day willing to make the ultimate sacrifice so we may continue to live The American Way of Life.
In the aftermath of September 11, 2001 President George W. Bush told us that we were a country "awakened to danger and called to defend freedom. Our grief has turned to anger and anger to resolution. Whether we bring our enemies to justice or justice to our enemies, justice will be done." Now, almost 10 years later, President Barack Obama sent American heroes onto foreign soil with the sole mission of getting Osama Bin Laden dead or alive. On May 1, 2011 the United States lived up to its word and the whole world heard the sound of freedom ringing in the echo of the gunfire.
While politics may divide, the security of our nation unites. It is symbolic of our system of government that two very different administrations were able to start and finish this important mission. Reflecting on bin Laden's death President Bush reminded us, "No matter how long it takes, justice will be done." The first tip on bin Laden's whereabouts came from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 5 years ago while being held at Guantanamo Bay. President Obama seeing the value of information obtained from GITMO detainees as imperative to securing our nation's safety then made his choice to keep the facility open.
People often ask why we organized SoldierSocks.com and there is no better reason to give than to merely refer to the heroes of SEAL Team 6 who killed bin Laden. We founded this organization to help the men and women who have been fighting, suffering and dying for the opportunity to bring closure to this chapter in our nation's history. We as Americans need to do everything that we can to thank this brave group of heroes who show the world every day who we are, what we can be, and what we can accomplish. There are individuals who have made this cause their life's work. They are the operators in the field, the analysts here at home; the families that support them, and most importantly, the families and friends who have lost loved ones along the way. Let's continue to do all that we can to show them the full extent of our appreciation.
Sometimes it takes historic moments such as these, for us to reflect upon who we are as individuals, and what we stand for as a nation. Our daily posturing drowns out the notion that we should be united as one. Let us put all of our differences aside for this one moment and pay tribute to our brave men and women in uniform. Let us remember the SEAL motto: 'The only easy day was yesterday,' and make it a part of our daily life. Let us show the world that we are 'One Nation, Under God, Indivisible.' Let us show them that we too can be the best America has to offer. Let them see that the state of our union is stronger today than it has ever been.
May God bless the United States Armed Forces, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

And I know many share the same 'concerns of faith' that I have at this time in history.

So let each of us pray, wherever we are, "14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14 (NIV)

Here is my contemplative link for those who have faith and believe and for those who are yet seeking God: http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-must-jesus-be-thinking-when-he.html
