J.R. On Tract!

A recent e-mail from Godsminute.com ....Enjoy!

John L007 Tract Minister — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:25:57 GMT

       They're Back! More Church Bulletin Bloopers:

  It is written; IF I SAY, 'I WILL FORGET MY COMPLAINT,
I WILL CHANGE MY EXPRESSION, AND SMILE.'
                        ( JOB 9:27 * NIV )

  Dear John,
        We all have days when we feel overwhelmed with life's
  many problems. However complaining about then doesn't
  change a thing!   So why not smile instead of complain, for
  it is said; "Smile and the whole World smiles with you, frown
  and you frown alone!"

      Now what better way to find a smile than to laugh with joy.
  So enjoy today's message, and let it be said; "OUR MOUTHS
  WERE FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, OUR TONGUES WITH
  SONGS OF JOY." For; THE LORD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS
  FOR US, AND WE ARE FILLED WITH JOY. ( PSALM 126:2-3 )

      Therefore, John, today's message is one that was sent to
  us by one of our Dear Subscribers. It will bring a smile, as well
  as, a laugh or two. It contains words that were found in Church
  Bulletins.
                    ___________________________

      Thank God for Church ladies with typewriters. These sentences
  actually appeared in Church Bulletins or were announced in Church

Doing our part for God....

John L007 Tract Minister — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:05:09 GMT

Fred Somebody,
Thomas Everybody,
Susan Anybody,
and Joe Nobody were neighbors,
but they were not like you and me.
They were odd people and most difficult to
understand. The way they lived was a shame.

All four belonged to the same church,
but you would not have enjoyed worshipping with them.

EVERYBODY went fishing on Sunday
or stayed home to visit with friends.

Anybody wanted to worship but was afraid SOMEBODY
wouldn't speak to him. So guess who went to church- NOBODY.

Really, NOBODY was the only decent one of the four.

NOBODY did the visitation. NOBODY worked on the church
building. Once they needed a Sunday School teacher. EVERYBODY thought ANYBODY would do it
and ANYBODY Thought SOMEBODY would do it?

And you know who did it?
That's exactly right NOBODY!

It happened that a fifth neighbor
(an unbeliever) moved in to the area. EVERYBODY thought
SOMEBODY should try to win
Him for Christ. Anybody could have mad an effort.
You probably know who finally won him: NOBODY!

This little parable brings to focus again that each of us is personally responsible
for God's work. If we Leave it for somebody or everybody or anybody, nobody will do it. Let's work till Jesus comes! Amen! God Bless You! Have a Awesome Day! Till the next Post! J.R. on Tract!

The Silver Cross around my neck....

John L007 Tract Minister — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:19:57 GMT

The silver Cross I wear around my neck is a simple reminder to me
of the fact that I am a Christian no matter where I may be.
This Cross is not magic nor is it a good luck charm.
It isn't meant to protect me from every physical harm.
It's not for identification for all to see, Although they do it's true,
It's simply an understanding between my Savior and me.
When I think about the Cross around my neck and what Jesus has done for me at the Cross of Calvery.
The Cross is a reminder of the price He paid for me and all it's people.
It reminds me, too, to be thankfull for my blessings day by day
And to strive to serve Him better in all that I do and say.
It's also a daily reminder of the peace and comfort I share
With all who know my Master and give themselves and there heart to His care.
So I wear a Cross around my neck reminding no one but me
That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life if only I'll let Him be.

Hope this post finds you doing well! Be sure to check out my Photo Blog:
http://www.jrsphotospot-com.webs.com/
Hope the above ministered to you in some way! God Bless you!

J.R. on Tract! I do wear a Cross around my neck since coming home from Florida last summer, I had it a long time before that and didn't start wearing it till after then for whatever reason other than I didn't take the time to put it around my neck, I usually at some point had a Cross in my Pocket, I kept losing them. that is what the above is from however it originally was intitled "The Cross in my Pocket". A Catholic ministry still sells them, However I'm not Catholic, I'm a Christian who does my best to Follow the Lord. Thats what the story befittingly says.
We are the Church, it's people, not the name over the Door or on the sign. Till the next post and always! Stay Safe!

Happy New Year!....Thinking about God

                              wish everyone did?

                       God is like American Express,
                       Don't leave home with out Him!

The Candy Cane Christmas story...

John L007 Tract Minister — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:29:07 GMT

Jesus Gentle Shepherd,
This cane of red and white
Proclaims the sweet love story
Born on Christmas night.

This cane you see,
when turned around
Begins your name of Love

And now becomes a symbol
Of peace proclaimed above.

The stripes are friendship
and the nearness of your love.
Eternal, Sweet Compassion
A gift from God above.

And so this cane reminds us
of just how much you care
And like your Christmas Gift
To us it's mean't for all to share.

Merry Christmas!

The Dollar Tree had Palmers Chocolate
Candy canes with this story on the back
Of course they are a dollar a piece, I have had
some of Palmers chocolate before for valentines
and it was good as I remember. They also have Bob's Candy canes
made up north somewhere. I don't know about the Chinese
made canes. Probably had them under another brand.
Have a awesome day!
God Bless you! Read the other post below.

A Christmas Prayer...

John L007 Tract Minister — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:22:10 GMT

Loving Father,Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of angels, the gladness of the shepherds and the wisdom of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clean hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake. Amen. Robert Louis Stevenson ( 1850-1894)

Hope all is well with your family at this time of year! Pray for each other bearing one anothers burden. Jesus saves and heals, those that seek Him shall lack no good thing. May the spirit of Christmas be in your heart throughout the coming year and always! Jesus Love and mine! J.R.

In God's Hands...

John L007 Tract Minister — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:20:12 GMT

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.00; a basketball in Michael Jordans is worth about $33 million. It depends on whose hands it's in. A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.00; a baseball in Mark Mcquire's hands is worth about $19 million. It depends on whose hands it's in. A tennis racket is useless in my hands; a tennis racket in Pete Sampras' hands is a Wimbledon Championship. It depends on whose hands it's in. A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal; a rod in Mose's hands is a couple of fish sandwiches; two fish and five loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands. It depends on whose hands it's in. Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse; nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire world. It depends on whose hands it's in. As you see now it depends on whose hands it's in. So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your families and relationships in God's hands because.........it depends on whose hands it's in.

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving!

Moments in Life....9 statements

John L007 Tract Minister — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 11:09:41 GMT

His divine power has given to us all things
that pertain to life and godliness, through
the knowledge of Him who called us by
glory and virtue.
          ( 2 Peter 1:3 *NKJV )

Dear John,
   There are times in this life when one of these
9 statements apply to each one of us. So let them
now be reminders that Minister to us.....

                        "Moments in Life"

1. There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from your
dreams and hug them for real! So cherish them while
they are with you.

2. When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the closed door that
we don't see the one, which has been opened for us.

3. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go
for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who
makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make
a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your
heart smile.

4. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to
go; be what you want to be, because you have only one
life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

5. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep
you human and enough hope to make you happy.

6. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything; they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way.

7. The brightest future will always be based on a
forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you
let go of your past failures and heartaches.

8. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. So live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you
is crying.

9. Don't count the years-count the memories.......Life
is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but
by the moments that take our breath away!     Amen.

Something to share...may it minister to you

John L007 Tract Minister — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:21:48 GMT

Don't Grow Old
===============

Many people are afraid of growing old.
I'm afraid of growing old and boring.

Many people are afraid of growing old, alone.
I'm afraid of growing old, insane.

Many people are afraid of losing their looks.
I'm afraid of losing my dreams.

Many people are afraid of losing their youth.
I'm afraid of losing my soul.

When you're 15, 35 seems ancient.
When you're 35, 15 seems juvenile.

A turnaround in a split second - two decades zoom past and
before you know it, it's only a mile to the next millennium.

Don't fear age,
it's a right of person-hood.

Don't fear death- it's God's greatest jest.

Don't grow old - you don't have to.

Don't date because you're desperate.

Don't marry because you're miserable.

Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.

Don't separate because you think it's fashionable.

Don't drink because you have troubles.

Don't gamble because you think winning is inevitable.

Don't philander because you think you're irresistible.
Most likely, you're not.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat.
Don't lie.
Don't pretend.

Don't try to buy your way into the kingdom of God.

Don't dictate because you're smarter.

Don't demand because you're stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you're old enough and know
better.

Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.

Don't sell yourself, your family or your ideals.

Don't stagnate.
Don't regress.

Learn a new skill.

Find a new friend.

Start a new career.

Don't live in the past.

Time can't bring anything or anyone back.

Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. or Mrs.
Right.
Don't throw you life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your
biological clock is ticking and you can't afford to have your
eggs harvested before the new millennium.

There's always a mad rush to something, somewhere - but victory
does not always belong to those who finish first.

Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid
for some of life's more hasty decisions.

You can't always go with the throng who could be wrong.

Sometimes, you have to be alone to be enlightened.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.

Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong
reasons.

To keep yourself warm, buy a jacket.
In the long run, it will be less complicated and less costly.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and be the best of
what you can be.

Simplify your life.
Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements - abusive friends, nasty habits
and dangerous liaisons.

Don't abandon your responsibilities, but don't overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your
family.

Be true to yourself. Don't commit when you're not ready.

Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Fall in love - it's the greatest thing on earth.
But take care and remember, after the fall must come the rise.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.

Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you must even at society's scorn.

Write poetry. Love deeply. Walk barefoot. Hold hands.
Dance with wild abandon. Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself.
Don't wait for someone to take care of you.

You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except you.
It is true that life doesn't get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.

Don't be afraid.
Don't lose your capacity to love.

Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.

Don't lose faith in God.

Don't grow old.

Just grow up.

They planned my funeral....I fooled them! So did the Lord!

John L007 Tract Minister — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 11:36:01 GMT

It's been a long time since the last post I have been in the hospital for roughly 7 months. The last month in a rehab hospital to learn to walk again. Two months before that in a Coma like state with double Pneumonia. They thought or was told by Doctors I wouldn't make it and actually planned my Funeral. However, I guess the Lord is not through with me and my ministry just yet. I had a Trake in my neck, was on dialysis, and a ventilator at one point. I couldn't talk at first with the trake and thought I never would again. I regained my voice thank the Lord. The trake was removed and ventalator. I was taken off dialysis and told by the Kidney Doctor I did not need it any longer! Praise the Lord! At one point I thought I couldn't go on, the sound of the trake making noise as I breathed It at one point nearly drove me up a wall. It crackled and made a noise in my ears that was greatly annoying. I had a hard time imagining it getting better. But I made it through with prayer and the Lord, one day at a time. I am at home finally and walking with a rolling walker when we go out. It is not easy going up stairs, however, I am regaining strength. Thanks for continued prayer when you think of it. My back and hips is not doing that great yet. I am having to sleep on the couch or in the recliner and it is hurting my hips and back. I have had sleep apnea in the past and can't sleep flat in bed. Lately I have had congestion building up and coughing if I lay at an angle so I am sleeping sitting up. Not easy but I do manage to sleep. I am praying at The Lord's direction for my continued life and have not given up! I am optimistic about the future. My finances have taken a hit. I have lost my hosting for my other sites on the net and hope to get them back online. No one paid the hosting bills and they shut them down. This site was the only one paid in advance. I'm waiting on the Lord! He'll fight my battles if I just be still! A new site will be in the works for a few of my sites. Pray for my direction and ministry and continued health. I am back on vitamins and herbs which they don't let you take your own while your in the hospital. I think that contributed to my pneumonia. Lack of vitamin D makes you more subseptable. Remember you may become a Facebook friend of mine at www.facebook.com/jlrasmussen . I should have www.jrsblogspot.com my ministry blog back on line or forwarded to this site. I hope all of you get in the habit of checking this site on a regular basis, I intend to update sooner than I have. Pray for me as I pray for all my blogging traffic. Have a blessed Day! Jesus Love and mine! J.R.

God is Good...

John L007 Tract Minister — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 14:15:00 GMT

An Honest Accessment.....My mother will tell you as A child I never gave my mother a minutes trouble. I didn't cry, throw panics, pitch a fit because I didn't get a toy while shopping. Behaved as a teenager. Had my own Lawn business in High school and College days. I never studied the Bible. No one impressed the importance of such. All I knew was John 3:16. And Lived primarily by the Golden rule. No one told me about Sin and things that were considered a sin. I knew early on that I didn't need a Baby or a wife that I could'nt take care of. I didn't Know the word Faith or the meaning there of. However, I thank the Lord that I haven't had that responsibilty with the health concerns I have had since 1988. The bible says if you lose your life for Jesus sake you will find it. So what am I saying here? I need you prayer. God has his timing for all things in our lives. If there is any correction the Lord needs to help me with. I hope I can discern it. The bible says "If you do things pleasing in his sight we have what He Wills for us." Does that mean He will give us a Mercedes? He rewards those that seek Him. Does it mean you will still get one? No. God sees the bigger picture. If He gave you a Mercedes this week and a year from now you died, which He knows anyway. The ones who get it may sell it and use the money to ruin there life and others. I want to go to a new level in the Lord. I want to leave what I need to leave behind. I haven't split churches in the past or tried to undermine it in the background. With that said I will stand up for the truth as I know it. I am no Bible Scholar. The message is the The Cross, Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus. All who call upon the Lord shall be saved! Everyone is pushing for the Rapture in alot of ways. I have heard this since 1988. There are those setting Dates out there now for this coming year. No one knows the Day or the Hour, not even Jesus. I have Classmates who don't believe. I am claiming them as believers. If you do an in depth study Of Revelations there is a lot to really come to pass. We still have the usual Banking System. I know of a few banks locally that have been built. It's when you see the Temple being built on the Temple mount. You better look out! Right now the Muslims have it. However, don't get me wrong. That could change quickly.

I went to an end time study with Marilyn Hickey many years ago in Orlando at Benny Hinns Church. Do I know everything? No. It was a Good study. I don't see how she pulls some of what she did out of the study. However, I thought it was good. With the beginning of what I said, Am I saying I am a Goody two Shoe. No. I just want to be Perfect as I can and Do what The Lord would have me do in His will. If I don't agree with You, I will tell you in Love, I hope. I will always stand on the Truth As I know and percieve it. Seeking the approval of Jesus the Most! and Our Heavenly Father!

With God All things are possible! I want to do my part! How about you!

Jesus Love and Mine! After you have done the will of God Comes the promise. Pray for the Church. Pray for me and my Tract and online ministry. God Bless you as always!

J.R. on Tract!

A good message...

John L007 Tract Minister — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 20:04:00 GMT

   If you woke up this morning
                         with more health than illness,
                         you are more blessed than the
                         million who won't survive the week.

                         If you have never experienced
                         the danger of battle,
                         the loneliness of imprisonment,
                         the agony of torture or
                         the pangs of starvation,
                         you are ahead of 20 million people
                         around the world.

                         If you can attend a church meeting
                         without fear of harassment,
                         arrest, torture, or death,
                         you are more blessed than almost
                         three billion people in the world.

                         If you have food in your refrigerator,
                         clothes on your back, a roof over
                         your head and a place to sleep,
                         you are richer than 75% of this world.

                         If you have money in the bank,
                         in your wallet, and spare change
                         in a dish someplace, you are among
                         the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

                         If your parents are still married and alive,
                         you are very rare, especially in this World
                         today.

                         If you hold up your head with a smile
                         on your face and are truly thankful,
                         you are blessed because the majority can,
                         but most do not.

                        If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
                        or even touch them on the shoulder,
                        you are blessed because you can
                        offer God's healing touch.

                        If you can read this message,
                        you are more blessed than over
                        two billion people in the world
                        that cannot read anything at all.

                        You are so blessed in ways
                        you may never even know.

My site www.jrsblogspot.com is changing. I am praying about the direction. Pray for me as I pray for you! Have a Blessed Day! I appreciate the recent comments I have recieved for this blog. If your browser cannot read this site fully try Google Chrome, that is what I use mainly. Also I don't yet have a mini-camcorder like the Flip. I would like to post a video of some sort.

Jesus Saves and Heals....

John L007 Tract Minister — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 11:27:00 GMT

I have been promising this update for awhile now. I have been through alot in the last five weeks. I was in the hospital with a tightness in my chest which lead the Doctor to believe I needed a Heart catherazation procedure. There are three potential outcomes to this procedure that are not favorable. Needless to say I opted out of even considering going ahead with it. What made me alittle put out with the whole situation, they wanted to do the procedure the next morning from arriving at the hospital on a Sunday. Not being admitted to the room until 11:30, only getting 2 hours of sleep sitting in a chair. I can't sleep in a flat bed because my airway cuts off in my throat and I don't breath out the nose without it also. They came in the room the next morning saying they could do the procedure. I didn't feel like walking across the room much less going into surgery to find out even if I had a blockage and repair it. The tightness in my chest had went away. I had this same feeling some 12-15 yrs earlier. I corrected it by taking Grapefruit Pectin. A natural product you can get at Vitamin World. I had ran out of this recently before going in the Hospital for about 3 weeks. Lesson! Don't run out of something that helps keep your arteries clear. I had read when I had it happen the first time about this product in a Doctors Journal. It said Grapefruit Pectin was like Drano for the Arteries.I have also read that Pomagranate Juice and Mangosteen Juices clear your arteries to some if not a good degree. I have also read that they don't recommend Stent procedures in clogged arteries. There are some other methods and supplements to clear arteries.You might investigate that at www.bottomlinesecrets.com After, all that said if you are in the same situation an option like mine, may not be an option for you. The Key is to catch something like this early. I had a slight tightness. I little anger that I got involved in triggered the situation to begin with. So maybe in a way that was a good thing. I read also recently letting out a little emotion via anger can help lower blood pressure. But that is occassionaly. Practicing anger on a regular basis is not good for the heart. It take's alot to get me angry! But when you have had enough, thats it! As an example the only other time I really got angry was over 25 years ago, So I don't practice it. My great nieces as I've said before on here call me the Teddy Bear, I told them I would like to be known as the Incredible Hulk instead! HA! HA! Teddy Bear is fine though. I collect Bears anyway, maybe I should collect more Incredible Hulk figures. I do have one and some green cars with the name on it. As the title of this blog entry says: Jesus Saves and Heals! He saved me many years back and continues to touch and heal me. Pray for me as I do for all my web traffic. If you need a Doctor! See one! but be informed of the medical procedures! www.bottomlinesecrets.com has some good information on medical, Life and wealth. Seek God! he is the Great Physician and healer! By the Stripes he took on his back at Calvery! We are Healed! I am still going strong in the Lord! God BlessYou! I'm just resting a little today though, Been up since 5am, reading and Facebooking. You may become my Facebook friend by issueing a request at www.facebook.com/jlrasmussen All the best to you! In Christ! J.R.

It's been a while since the last post...so here's the latest!

John L007 Tract Minister — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 18:51:00 GMT

I have been sidelined so to speak with continued pain in my feet , knees, and Charlie horses in my legs off and on since the last post.

Your prayers are greatly appreciated. There is so much to pray about these days with the Earthquake and all that is going on in different places that praying for me might be secondary! However, Say one for me when you can. I am still doing things here and there. I managed to give out some 1000 Pocket calender cards since October and thru Christmas. Distributed " Our Daily Breads" and even now continue to put out what I have left of the last shipment. I also have given out probably 200 Imprinted pens of the 450 in supply, with a Smiley Face and the imprint of "Jesus Loves You!" and Three of my websites on them. I tell you this as only a testiment of the power of God working through me to continue dispite a few challenges. I so want to continue to be obedient in all that the Lord would have me do. I don't know how good I am at discernment. So pray for me in this area. It is a Goal I believe of the Lord to Travel and put out 1000 Jesus Loves You! Smiley Tracts at Disneyworld. It's an easy assignment , but someone has to do it, I'm glad I am chosen to do so. It's just waiting on his supply for the funds to travel. I am so ready for a breakthrough in all areas of my life and want to do my part. The Smiley Tracts are already stamped with my blog and Gospel website on them. Pray about where you might fit into being a part of this ministry. You may go to www.ontractforjesusministries.org and read alittle about it. Some of the content may need to be changed. I haven't come up with a site

to make donations. I hit a snag about creating a website to do this. Pray about God's will in this area. I am just waiting on him, hopefully I am still in his timing. If you want to become one of my Facebook Friends I think this is the link for people if you are already a Facebook person, or want to become one, Go to: www.facebook.com/jlrasmussen . Pray for Haiti and its people, you can go to my ministry blog and read about where to make a donation. Thank you for continued prayer for my ministry, my family and me. Looking forward to a great Year! in Christ our soon and coming King! Be Ready! www.jrsblogspot.com

Jesus Love and mine!

What if.....

John L007 Tract Minister — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:13:00 GMT

I recieved this from a friend by email. If you voted for Obama, please know that I respect your opinion. Pray for me as I pray for you.

God Bless you!

….forget whether you’re a Democrat or Republican for a minute and think about this. Read the following and think how you would have reacted:

What if.....George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

What if George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

What if George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

What if George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

What if George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Au strian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

What if George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

What if George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?

What if George W. Bush had miss-spelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as "proof" of what a dunce he is?

What if George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on "Earth Day", would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

What if George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually "get" what happened on 9-11?

What if George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

What if George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

What if George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

What if George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

What if George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again 10 times within that year, would you have approved?

What if George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

What if George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a

play in NYC, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all the above in just 5 months -- so be patient you've still got three years and seven months to come up with an answer.

Just passing it on
Gentle breezes,
Ray

We need to Pray for President George W. Bush. He and Cheney may be up on charges for what they did to the AL-Qeuda

prisoners. This is such a waste of Taxpayers money and time. It is completely unbelievable to me they would do such. So pray!!!

J.R. on Tract today and always!

Life goes on....

John L007 Tract Minister — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 14:24:00 GMT

Life goes on! Whether your having fun or not! I said a few days ago on my ministry blog that I would be updating this blog. Well

it didn't happen till today, much later. I have been dealing with knee pain since my therapy on by legs. It affected my knees

and has caused the muscles around the knees to tighten. So I haven't felt like sharing my thoughts. I did however venture away

from the house with my mother to see the new movie " Julie and Julia". Dispite a little discomfort, I managed. It was much better

than working in the hot sun like I used to do cutting grass. On a different note, we need to pray! and pray some more! For this

Country and the direction of it's policies. The people, or at least the majority voted for change with Obama. Well guess what!

We are only seeing the tip of the iceburg. I don't agree with alot of what has been going on. Anybody can get in office and overturn

what the previous administration started. Whether or not it is good is the question. Well I hope this is the change everybody hoped for.

Obama sent us back to the dark ages in this country when he said at a speech, America is no longer a Christian nation. The Bible says:

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Jesus Christ). That does not mean Obama is Jesus, or anybody else who holds the office. It is just we recognize Jesus as the one who gives our leaders direction throught the spirit and its people follow the Lord and Biblical principals. Obama with his statement has done away with the blessings of the Lord. I hope the Lord will look through the thoughts and words of a few and still bless us because of it's people, who call themselves Christian, and live by the bible to the best of there ability.

So pray! and pray some more!!! With that I want to leave you with a Song I like which says it all for the Christian, saved by grace.

Who Am I
by Casting Crowns

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours..
I am yours..

Hope you liked the above! God bless you!
