"INTEGRITY" Matt 5:9

REMOVED...from Mountain Home Air Force Base Dinning Hall.....WHY????

"“I have been extremely disturbed and shocked by a clearly Christian picture of religious supremacy very prominently hanging in the dining facility of our Air Force Base,” the apparently oversensitive airman wrote. “I and countless other Airmen were forced to look at this ‘Crusader/USAF’ painting while we ate.”

SINCE Christians don't go around beheading such infidels above or strap bombs to their kids or target innocent citizens for mass murder........... it was EASY to target such an ideological offensive painting!

HOW ABOUT........... we remove from our Founding Documents from the Mayflower Compact to our Constitution the "Christian supremacy" written and conferred to of the God of Jesus Christ......and HIS Providence AND Blessings our founders believed was given us !!!!

IN AMERICA - when your President is more in tune with Muslim sensitivities and Atheists, and places "Christians" and his #1 threat to his administration ....we will see more and more of our GOD GIVEN LIBERTIES EXPIRE to advance Communism.

REFERENCE on Painting Matt 5:9

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”

PEACE MAKERS............refers NOT to laying down on the ground to be happily slaughtered by your enemies !!!!!

ANYONE HAVE..... A HISTORICAL REFERENCE OF SUCH A STRATEGY EVER CREATING PEACE ?

MAYBE WHAT ...... Christians should do is "boycott" all calls this nation and it's allies for help overcoming Evil, and especially when Islam expands as it did during the Ottoman Empire...........CHRISTIANS SHOULD REMAIN HOME....and let the spineless atheists, pacifists and liberals fight the good fight...because Christians won't be answering the phone !!

Because we know how it worked so well for Stalin, Mao, and Ottoman !!

Just a thought.....

College Graduates' Expectations Are Out Of Line with Reality, Says Study - Forbes

 A new poll by consulting firm Accenture ACN -0.17% shows some striking gaps between the expectations of graduating seniors about the world of work and the experiences of recent grads who are already in the workforce. Only 18% of pending 2013 grads plan to get a graduate degree to get ahead in their career. By contrast, 42% of grads who are already working say they plan to get a graduate degree. There is also a gap when it comes to salary expectations. Just 15% of this year’s graduating seniors expect to earn less than $25,000 a year. But a third of recent grads report that they are making that amount or less.
There is also a big gap when it comes to the training new grads expect they’ll get on the job. More than three quarters, or 77%, of seniors graduating this year say that they expect their employer will train them to advance in their careers. But less than half, or 48%, of recent grads say they got training in their first year on the job.
College Graduates' Expectations Are Out Of Line with Reality, Says Study - Forbes

A Lesson I learned From Jeannie

In High School I had a girlfriend. Jeannie.  She was crying one day.  I thought it was something I did. I asked her, "What did I do?" She set me straight.  "What makes you think that everything is about you?".  That was good advice.  To this day I know full well that people are allowed to have opinions, attitudes and actions that are independent of me.

In fact, the insignificance I carry with most people is pretty important to remember. 

Only in High School did I think the world revolved around me.

I grew up.  Thanks to her for setting me straight.

The following are 40 statistics about the fall of the U.S. economy that are almost too crazy to believe...

#1 Back in 1980, the U.S. national debt was less than one trillion dollars.  Today, it is rapidly approaching 17 trillion dollars...

#2 During Obama's first term, the federal government accumulated more debt than it did under the first 42 U.S presidents combined.
#3 The U.S. national debt is now more than 23 times larger than it was when Jimmy Carter became president.
#4 If you started paying off just the new debt that the U.S. has accumulated during the Obama administration at the rate of one dollar per second, it would take more than 184,000 years to pay it off.
#5 The federal government is stealing more than 100 million dollars from our children and our grandchildren every single hour of every single day.
#6 Back in 1970, the total amount of debt in the United States (government debt + business debt + consumer debt, etc.) was less than 2 trillion dollars.  Today it is over 56 trillion dollars...

#7 According to the World Bank, U.S. GDP accounted for 31.8 percent of all global economic activity in 2001.  That number dropped to 21.6 percent in 2011.
#8 The United States has fallen in the global economic competitiveness rankings compiled by the World Economic Forum for four years in a row.
#9 According to The Economist, the United States was the best place in the world to be born into back in 1988.  Today, the United States is only tied for 16th place.
#10 Incredibly, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have been permanently shut down since 2001.
#11 There are less Americans working in manufacturing today than there was in 1950 even though the population of the country has more than doubled since then.
#12 According to the New York Times, there are now approximately 70,000 abandoned buildings in Detroit.
#13 When NAFTA was pushed through Congress in 1993, the United States had a trade surplus with Mexico of 1.6 billion dollars.  By 2010, we had a trade deficit with Mexico of 61.6 billion dollars.
#14 Back in 1985, our trade deficit with China was approximately 6 million dollars (million with a little "m") for the entire year.  In 2012, our trade deficit with China was 315 billion dollars.  That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in the history of the world.
#15 Overall, the United States has run a trade deficit of more than 8 trillion dollars with the rest of the world since 1975.
#16 According to the Economic Policy Institute, the United States is losing half a million jobs to China every single year.
#17 Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs.  Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs.
#18 At this point, an astounding 53 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year.
#19 Small business is rapidly dying in America.  At this point, only about 7 percent of all non-farm workers in the United States are self-employed.  That is an all-time record low.
#20 Back in 1983, the bottom 95 percent of all income earners in the United States had 62 cents of debt for every dollar that they earned.  By 2007, that figure had soared to $1.48.
#21 In the United States today, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worth than the bottom 90 percent combined.
#22 According to Forbes, the 400 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined.
#23 The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have as much wealth as the bottom one-third of all Americans combined.
#24 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 146 million Americans are either "poor" or "low income".
#25 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that receives direct monetary benefits from the federal government.  Back in 1983, less than a third of all Americans lived in a home that received direct monetary benefits from the federal government.
#26 Overall, the federal government runs nearly 80 different "means-tested welfare programs", and at this point more than 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one of them.
#27 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid, and things are about to get a whole lot worse.  It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls.
#28 As I wrote recently, it is being projected that the number of Americans on Medicare will grow from 50.7 million in 2012 to 73.2 million in 2025.
#29 At this point, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38 trillion dollars over the next 75 years.  That comes to approximately $328,404 for every single household in the United States.
#30 Right now, there are approximately 56 million Americans collecting Social Security benefits.  By 2035, that number is projected to soar to an astounding 91 million.
#31 Overall, the Social Security system is facing a 134 trillion dollar shortfall over the next 75 years.
#32 Today, the number of Americans on Social Security Disability now exceeds the entire population of Greece, and the number of Americans on food stamps now exceeds the entire population of Spain.
#33 According to a report recently issued by the Pew Research Center, on average Americans over the age of 65 have 47 times as much wealth as Americans under the age of 35.
#34 U.S. families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent.
#35 As I mentioned recently, the homeownership rate in America is now at its lowest level in nearly 18 years.
#36 There are now 20.2 million Americans that spend more than half of their incomes on housing.  That represents a 46 percent increase from 2001.
#37 45 percent of all children are living in poverty in Miami, more than 50 percent of all children are living in poverty in Cleveland, and about 60 percent of all children are living in poverty in Detroit.
#38 Today, more than a million public school students in the United States are homeless.  This is the first time that has ever happened in our history.
#39 When Barack Obama first entered the White House, about 32 million Americans were on food stamps.  Now, more than 47 million Americans are on food stamps.
#40 According to one calculation, the number of Americans on food stamps now exceeds the combined populations of "Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming."

Why Having More Christians Won't Necessarily Change Our Culture

For centuries, Christians thought culture would change if we just had a majority of Christians in the culture. That has proven to be a false assumption. Culture is defined by a relatively small number of change agents who operate at the top of cultural spheres or societal mountains. It takes less than 3-5 percent of those operating at the top of a cultural mountain to actually shift the values represented on that mountain.
For example, this is exactly what advocates in the gay rights movement has done through the "mountains" of media and arts and entertainment. They have strategically used these avenues to promote their cause and reframe the argument. They are gradually legitimizing their cause through these two cultural mountains through a small percentage of people in society operating at the top of the media and arts and entertainment mountain.
Mountains are controlled by a small percentage of leaders and networks. James Hunter, in a book entitled How to Change the World, highlights what sociologist Randall Collins says about civilizations in his book The Sociology of Philosophies. According to Collins, civilizations have been defined by a very small percentage of cultural philosophers who influence seven gates and supporting networks since our birth as a civilization.
Hunter summarizes, “Even if we add the minor figures in all of the networks, in all of the civilizations, the total is only 2,700. In sum, between 150 and 3,000 people (a tiny fraction of the roughly 23 billion people living between 600 B.C. and A.D. 1900) framed the major contours of all world civilizations. Clearly, the transformations here were top-down.”

Japan: The Land Without Muslims

There are countries in the world, mainly in Europe, that are presently undergoing significant cultural transformations as a result of Muslim immigration. France, Germany, Belgium and Holland are interesting examples of cases where immigration from Muslim countries, together with the Muslims’ high fertility rate, effects every area of life.

It is interesting to know that there is a country in the world whose official and public approach to the Muslim matter is totally different. This country is Japan. This country keeps a very low profile on all levels regarding the Muslim matter: On the diplomatic level, senior political figures from Islamic countries almost never visit Japan, and Japanese leaders rarely visit Muslim countries. The relations with Muslim countries are based on concerns such as oil and gas, which Japan imports from some Muslim countries. The official policy of Japan is not to give citizenship to Muslims who come to Japan, and even permits for permanent residency are given sparingly to Muslims.

Biden asks clergy to make moral argument on guns

WHY IS IT THAT LIBS SPOUT ...SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE... BUT GO AFTER PASTORS TO PUSH THEIR AGENDAS... 501C3 DO NOT ALLOW POLITICAL PUSHES DO THEY?... WHY IS IT THE LIBS... TRAMPLE THE US CONSTITUTION... THEN SOMEONE LIKE LOIS LERNER SEEKS TO TAKE THE 5TH.....TO STOP BEING QUESTIONED REGARDING HER ROLE IN IRS TARGETING CONSERVATIVES TO STOP THEM FROM INFLUENCING THE 2012 ELECTIONS?....

Biden asks clergy to make moral argument on guns
Biden met for two-and-a-half hours Monday with more than a dozen leaders from various faith communities _ Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh, to name a few. Both Biden and the faith leaders encouraged each other not to give up on what has been an arduous and thus far fruitless effort by Biden and President Barack Obama to pass new gun laws in the wake of December's schoolhouse shooting in Connecticut.

I WONDER WHO WAS THERE WITH BIDEN---WHO IS BEING USED BY THE ENEMY TO DISARM AMERICA?... IF ANYONE GETS A LIST OF NAMES... PLEASE PUBLISH IT... There were some very powerful evangelical leaders in the room who needed to be reassured," said Pastor Michael McBride of the PICO National Network, a faith-based organizing network.

Citing what he described as misinformation from the National Rifle Association and others, Biden said the renewed push for gun control must correct misconceptions about what the proposals do and don't do, participants said. He asked clergy to keep up the pressure and to reframe the debate for their followers in moral terms.

A spokeswoman for Biden declined to comment on the meeting. But Rabbi Julie Schonfeld, executive vice president of the Rabbinical Assembly, said a diverse spectrum of denominations and religious orders were represented. She said they included evangelical leaders Richard Cizik and Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, as well as Sister Marge Clark of Network, a Catholic group.

THIS is the best marriage advice I have seen

This is the best marriage counsel from a guy who tried and failed. I agree with EVERYTHING he says. It's really worth the read. If you are married, thinking about marriage or are having difficulty, this will open your eyes... if you are a man.  IF you are a woman, give the link TO your man.

Wonderful read.

When it's all Painful - Relationships

I spent last weekend with a large group of people.  During that time I had opportunity to interact with 22 people for many hours.  Personalities are interesting. I met a woman about my age who has been widow for two years.  How that has affected her.  In another case a couple who's son was injured badly and are very bitter.  Bitterness has poisoned their life.

Life isn't about what happens to us, but about our reaction to it.  One woman I met in her late 40s looks 70 because of the bitterness that has consumed her.  Everything is someone else's fault.  She is always the victim, always right, goes off on everyone.  Volatile.  Believes that if people would just listen to her life would be perfect. The life she has today is exactly as her words have constructed.  In turmoil. The classic toxic person.  A Poster Child for James Allen's essay, "As a Man Thinketh".

Unfortunately if you are married to or live with someone like that, there is no escape short of the drastic actions of the courts.

Proverbs 22:

24Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,

do not associate with one easily angered,

25or you may learn their ways

and get yourself ensnared.

What is interesting is the children I met of these people are often more kind and loving.  They have had to develop personalities capable of working around the toxicity.  The cycle of personality is often that a passive parent produces aggressive toxic children and the aggressive toxic parents produce more tolerant and passive children.  Every other generation extremes.  Unbalanced.

I wish it weren't so.  I wish well balanced people would produce well balanced people.  Sometimes it does.  Not often enough.  I look at my own life and wonder about the result of what I have produced in offspring, in work, in relationships, in families, in leadership roles.  I have not been good in this. 

It took 3 days to detox after last weekend.  It shouldn't be like that.  Life is too short.

A toxic person can be anyone. A friend, a parent, a sibling, a teacher, a boss or a co-worker. No matter who it is that is toxic in your life, you must set up strong boundaries against them, and potentially remove yourself from their life.  You cannot change them. The tactics of a toxic person siphons away your self-esteem. Life is too short to be depleted by another person. You need all of yourself possible to live your life and grow as a person.

"Life is just too short to put up with a kicking cow"

When you come to the point where you know you MUST separate yourself from someone who is toxic in your life, do it.  I long ago made the decision that life is too short to put up with a kicking cow. You don't know the story?

A farmer had a prize milk cow. It would produce twice as much milk as any cow in the county. People would come and marvel at the output. She was a pride of the dairy industry. There was only one problem. She had a bad habit of KICKING the farmer across the barn every time he knelt to milk her. She never missed. Seemed to enjoy it. One day his wife heard a noise. Went to the barn and found the cow dead with a gun in the farmers hand. She said, "WHY would you kill the prize cow, your best producer?" He said, "Life is just too short to put up with a kicking cow". I won't. Neither should you. No matter how productive they are... if they kick you every time.. time to call time out and out with them. This is a management principle worth knowing.

I cut this from a facebook post.... I think it's over the top...but sorta hard in truth

 

We Are the Idiots

Our continued acceptance of environmentalist manipulation, lies and fear-mongering has led Congress to establish deadly public policies in the name of saving energy -- such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, which downsize autos and cause unnecessary highway fatalities. That's on top of the stupid 1970s 55 mph laws. The next time an environmentalist warns us of a pending disaster or that we are running out of something, we ought to ask: When was the last time a prediction of yours was right? Some people are inclined to call these people idiots. That's wrong. They have been successful in their agenda. It's we who are the idiots for listening to them and allowing Congress to let them have their way.

Walter E. Williams - We Are the Idiots

Dr. Henry Miller, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and Gregory Conko, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in their Forbes article "Rachel Carson's Deadly Fantasies" (9/5/2012), wrote that her 1962 book, Silent Spring, led to a world ban on DDT use.

Wimps Versus Barbarians

Without a moral framework, there is nothing left but immediate self-indulgence by some and the path of least resistance by others. Neither can sustain a free society. Disruptive activists indulge their egos in the name of idealism and others cave rather than fight.

It's not just academics who won't defend decency. Trustees could fire college presidents who cave in to storm trooper tactics. Donors could stop donating to institutions that have sold out their principles to appease the campus barbarians. But when nobody is willing to defend civilized standards, the barbarians win.

Whether on college campuses or among nations on the world stage, if the battle comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are bound to win.

Denial and Avoidance Won’t Fix Housing or Grow Economy - Mandelman Matters

 I wish we’d stop with the false bottoms and imaged recovery stories so we could actually concentrate on making some much needed improvements in how we’re handling our economic malaise, because that’s the only way we’re going to see any actual improvement in our quality of life.
Denial may help us sleep for a few nights, like giving a drunk alcohol makes him or her feel better too… but it’s always short lived and the hangovers only get worse when we wake up and discover that nothing substantive has changed.

Thinking About Paying Off Your Mortgage Before Retirement? Consider This First | wusa9.com

 Wouldn't it be great to pay off that mortgage before you retire?  But that might not be your best financial move.
Jane Clark, from Kiplinger's Personal Finance, gave us some steps to consider first, including paying off our consumer debt (see the list below).
"You're probably paying a lot more for your consumer debt on your credit cards than you would be on your mortgage. Mortgage rates are probably below 5% now and so you could be paying 13%, 14%, 15% on your credit card balance. It doesn't make sense to keep that debt and pay off your mortgage," said Clark.

YOU are being lied to again

I am astounded at the gall of big government and big business to offer up as "fact" something so ludicrous. You will see posters, ads on tv, celebrities and political people (Mrs Obama) say this, "ONE IN FIVE CHILDREN GO TO BED HUNGRY IN AMERICA". or one in five don't know where their next meal is coming from. That is absolutely a fabrication and is being propagated for political and corporate (ConAgra) purposes. I have a very wide swath of readers in THE USA. Those of you from Australia and Africa have to stand aside. DO YOU personally know anyone in your circle of acquaintances, I mean YOU KNOW them who fits that description. Not you heard from someone. Not some fake government statistic. REAL LIFE. IF you know 25 children in your circle are any 5 of them going hungry? This is a con job.. again. The gall of these people to tell these lies for political and economic power is amazing.

"God did not give us local churches to become country clubs where membership means we have privileges and perks," Rainer writes. "He placed us in churches to serve, to care for others, to pray for leaders, to learn, to teach, to give and, in some cases, to die for the sake of the gospel. The time to get this right is now." This is part of an article in Charisma magazine well worth reading.

When Churches Become Like Country Clubs

www.charismanews.com

Nine out of 10 churches in America are declining or growing at a pace slower than the rate of their communities. The president of LifeWay sees this as a symptom of an underlying problem in most churches.
