FASTING

Are any if you planning to Fast in January?

What type of Fast are you doing and for what purpose and for how long?

Have you fasted before?

I would like us to share and encourage one another in our Fasting.

RE: What Did YOU Have For Your Christmas Feast??

We've always called that drink a Clam Digger

Health Care Bill Passes the Senate

Everyone should really watch the video on C-SPAN.
Max's reply comes almost 24 minutes into the film.



At the end, he mentions Catestrophic events, and stresses that we must show the other countries that the United States is faithful to pay it's debts.

I imagine we have borrowed too much money from China, as has the rest of the world and we are in a world of doo doo with them.
There is probably much more to this story than we may ever know.

We will have an idea when the nuclear attacks begin here in the states.

Any other senarios?

RE: The "Health Insurance Company Protection Act"?

Yes, Max stammers when he's LYING!! I have noticed that!
When he's talking about something else, his speech is pretty clear, but his speech is very broken and lots of separated thoughts gives me a clue that he is putting forth a message of deceit.

I would bet that Many of the Senators and Congressmen and women are bought by Lobbyists and are in the pockets of the pharmaceutical and health insurance companies. I would not at all attribute such defiant acts to one party alone or state that
one party was beyond this corruption.

RE: The "Health Insurance Company Protection Act"?

On the left column you can view the evening broadcast for December 23rd. His statement will be near the end. I did get that video to work.

RE: The "Health Insurance Company Protection Act"?

Here is the C-SPAN page with videos of each Senator by name and date.
Max Baucus has 20 videos for December 23rd. It would be one of the latter videos, as it was one of his closing statements before they adjourned for the early Christmas Eve morning vote.



I could not view it due to technical difficulties. Maybe later?

Cancer Killer!!!

By Sara Novak, Planet Green

According to the BBC, “an extract found in the bright yellow curry spice turmeric kills cancer cells.” Tests released by a team at the Cork Cancer Research Centre show turmeric can destroy gullet cancer cells in the lab within 24 hours. That’s no small deal. Now the question is, are you getting your fill?

Turmeric is a wonderful spice that shows up in a host of ethnic dishes. I use it mostly for curries but it does show up in other recipes. Make sure that your turmeric has not gone bad as can often unfortunately be the case for our lesser used spices.


This is great News! I Love Turmeric!

Please share recipes and ways You use Turmeric...

IMMANENT~

The most real fact in this universe is God. The whole creation bears witness to His presence. The sunlight that floods the earth, the glories of the firmament, night and day, winter and spring, all declare that the Creator is everywhere in His world. The rose that was blooming one morning in my garden, with colors more delicate than the brush of a Turner could paint, told me that the great Artist was there. The laughter of little children, the love of friends, the upward march of the races of men proclaim that God is about us and within us richly imparting His grace. The unsatisfied aspiration of the heart, its pain, its joy, its penitence, its thoughts too deep for words tell us how near God is.

Where The Search Ends

"I searched the world over for God and found Him in my heart." said Augustine. In the heart of the believer a still small voice speaks in clearest accents, bearing "witness with our spirits that we are the children of God." Nothing on earth is so heavenly as that ~ so like "the voice of angels singing in the silence." It is as clear as bells at eventime. It is assuring like the familiar voice of a friend beloved.
The Holy Spirit speaking in the secret chambers of the heart is the climax of God's revelation to us!

RE: A Wyoming Merry Christmas

Thanks! I hope you had a Wonderful day and that you get to spend some time with your girls!!!

I spent the day alone, shoveling snow out of the driveway!
Yes! We had a White Christmas!!!
First time since 1917!

I took pictures and a video.
Roasted a chicken and my dog and I ate it all!
Made phone calls to those I love and thoroughly enjoy the day!

RE: The "Health Insurance Company Protection Act"?

The Democratic Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee,
Max Baucass stated Wednesday night, December 23rd, the evening before the final Senate vote on the bill, that Social Security is BROKE and they would not be able to make the January Benefit payments if the Bill did not pass!!!

With the passing of the Bill, the new Federal Taxes go into effect January 2010 and they are counting on those Tax Dollars to support the payouts. Max Baucauss stated that they could borrow no more money and the country is headed for Bankruptcy if the Bill did not pass.

Of course they could not state this to the American People, as Max stated they had Overspent! They voted in Bailouts which 95% of the American People told them not to do!! They put us in the position we are in and now they expect US to bail them out!!

What a bunch of incompetents!! And they think WE are stupid???!!

RE: THE WALL SAYS....

To that I say AMEN!

MERRY CHRISTMAS WALL!

RE: Obama administration made it possible! Support universal Health care for all americans!

ttom...

Why not just be HONEST and tell the American People and the World that the United States is BANKRUPT???


It's the TRUTH and the reason behind this so called Health Care Bill!!!

RE: Obama administration made it possible! Support universal Health care for all americans!

You'd better include Arnold Schwartzeneger in that.

They are changing the rules, he will probably be allowed to run for President in 2012!!

Grace As A Way To God

By GRACE are you saved by FAITH!!!!

It's that simple Robert!

Grace As A Way To God

Grace offers constant support in everyday life. Grace adapts itself to each person. We make our choices, some of which are good for us, some bad, and then grace shapes the results. To express this another way, each of us does things that have unexpected consequences. Our foresight is limited; therefore our actions are always subject to blindness about what will happen next.

God is inescapable and constant. Sometimes he is felt with ecstasy, but just as often there can be pain, anguish, and confusion. This mixture of feelings reminds us that two entities are coming into conjunction. One is spirit, the other is body.

The body can perceive spirit only through the nervous system. As the intensity of God increases, the nervous system is overwhelmed by it. There is no choice but to adapt, yet adaptation can cause sensations of intense burning, tremors, blackouts, and fainting, along with fear and semipsychotic states. God’s presence overcomes the most intense conditions of pain and suffering.

There is no way to tell whether we are actually doing anything through our own will. An Indian master was once asked, ”When we strive to reach higher states of consciousness, are we really doing anything or is it just happening to us?” “It could be seen either way,” he replied. “You are doing your part, but the real motivation comes from outside you. If you wanted to be strictly accurate, it is all happening to you.”

Whether operating on the level of a saint or a criminal, grace is the ingredient that saves karma from being heartlessly mechanical. Grace is thus linked to free will.

Grace can take the form of a simple thought, or it can be an overwhelming transformation. In either case, the impulse to move toward spirit is the result of grace.

Health Care Bill Passes the Senate

I posted this on Dudes thread...

Well Dude, you will be Happy to know that the so-called Health Care Bill DID pass the Senate this morning.

But I hope you will listen and understand that this Bill has absolutely NO UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE included in it!!!!

This Bill makes it MANDATORYfor Americans to BUY Health INSURANCE!!

No part of this Bill regulates the cost of Premiums to consumers.
It guarrantees the Insurance Companies 26 Million new customers.
It leaves 24 Million Americans exempt from getting coverage of any kind. (Why? I have not figured that out yet. They didn't say.)

Senator Max Baucauss (D)Montana, Chairman of the Senate Finance Commitee, made his plea in favor of the Bill yesterday afternoon,
stating, 'We are broke, we have overspent, we can no longer borrow, they will not loan us any more money. The country is bankrupt, we will not be able to pay Social Security Benefits next month. This Bill must be passed.'

The Federal government is BROKE!!!
With the Bill passed, they will begin receiving Tax Dollars as of January 1st.

I am sorry that the Bill has left so many of you misinformed.
To sum it up, they want your MONEY, the need your MONEY and now you have to purchase INSURANCE. It is NOT FREE!!! It is NOT Universal Health Care for all!!!

Even the Democrats in favor of the Bill stated that Insurance Premiums will continue to RISE!!!

Doesn't the Government own the Insurance Companies, are part of them, since the Bailouts? I think I smell a RAT!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND ENJOY YOUR LUMP OF COAL!!

RE: USA-Citizens forced to PAY Med Ins PROFITS or become criminals!

This morning I received a private email on CS with questions concerning this Bill. Here is my response.

Answers

I am grateful that you have gained some understanding through my postings. It is the reason I post, as I know this Bill has misled many. Yes, it is confusing, even the Senators from both sides of the aisle have stated this.

Answers:
1.Is there a set price one has to pay or does this vary on the type of cover you take out?

The government will later decide the specifics of the required "Basic Plan" which the Insurance companies will be required to offer. You can add extra coverages and pay extra for it. Coverages will be limited also, such as they will only allow a certain amount of money to be spent on a certain treatment, then you are cut off! They will cover you for a little while but when your treatment cost too much money, no more for you! What kind of a deal is that??? What a freaking SCAM!!!

2. What if people who are on low income jobs, how do they pay for this? Because I can imagine it is going to cripple some people.

First of all, they will not be able to choose an "affordable" insurance company until 2014. If they are very low income and qualify for Medicaid coverage under the new plan, they will have to wait until 2014 to get coverage.

This new Bill is not supposed to cost the government anything.
They can not allow government coverage at this time cos they are broke. See what I posted in Dude's thread this morning, the one about Obama did it and Universal Health Care, page 23.

Meanwhile, Congress is BROKE, they need TAX DOLLARS NOW! They will start taking more taxes out of peoples pay checks on Jan.1st. This is how they will survive.
Now, you tell me, just what is all that money for? Will we receive anything in return for it? Does it give us all universal health care? Absolutely not! They have stated that the taxes received between Jan.1st and 2014 will pay off the current Federal deficit. This is why the Bill was rushed through. It has nothing to do with Health Care Benefits.

This Bill is cheating the American people and it's a very sad day for Americans. People are too busy shopping and preparing for their celebrations tomorrow, they weren't paying attention to what has been going on behind closed doors and the sweet deals offered to Democrats who opposed this bill. Mary, the Senator from Louisiana received $300 Billion for her state to vote YES! The Senator from Nebraska, Ben Nelson won his state free Medicare, exempt from taxes! The Federal government will pay his states share in exchange for his yes vote. Nebraska is the only state offered this deal. He was going to vote NO, so he was bribed. It's in writing, it's in the Bill!! Virginia also got a sweet deal, as well as Florida and Massachusetts.
This was all done behind closed doors, excluding the Republicans. All of these Democratic Senators were going to vote NO and it would have killed the Bill. By bribing them, they got exactly their 60 votes needed to pass it.

A Health Care plan such as what the UK has, is what many Americans thought this Bill was all about. They were scammed!

RE: USA-Citizens forced to PAY Med Ins PROFITS or become criminals!

EXACTLY!!!

All the other stuff presented in this Bill is nonsense!!!
We DID send this message! I called my Reps, they voted AGAINST it but it was passed in the Senate this morning.

Two days ago, the CNN pole showed 61% of the American people opposed this Bill. As a whole, the Senate did not carry out the request of We The People!!!

They were more concerned with getting more money out of us.
See my post on Dudes Obama did it thread about Universal Health Care on page 23.

Love you jvaski!

RE: Obama administration made it possible! Support universal Health care for all americans!

I think Southern Comfort will be more appropriate, I need something Sweet. This Bill has left a Bitter taste!!

Health Care Bill Passes the Senate

WHY?????

Do you know the real reason it passed?

Did you know it was written behind closed doors without cameras?

Did you know that we are Bankrupt and could not pay next months Social Security if this bill did not pass?

Did you know how desperately they need your TAX DOLLARS?

Why did Senator McConnell of Kentucky flip flop?

Values of Health Care Stocks Increase Fearlessly

I am watching the Senate debates continue and they will be voting very early in the morning.

To quote some Senators who are fighting against this Bill...
"Americans will be getting a lump of coal for Christmas this year"

Problem is that the Americans who are FOR this bill, do not understand what this Bill does!!

I talked with a friend on the phone this morning. He's a truck driver with a family. He thought this Bill would give ALL Americans Universal Health Care paid for by the Government!

When I informed him that it absolutely would not, that it makes it mandatory for Americans to purchase Health Insurance without discrimination from pre-existing conditions and that 24 Million Americans would be excluded, that there would be limitations on coverage, and Medicare benefits will be cut, he was SHOCKED
to say the least!! I also mentioned that TAXES will increase tremendously beginning January 1st, 2010 and continue for 4 years BEFORE all of the Bill goes into effect.

There is no Reform in this bill. The Health Care System is in great need of true reform, we all agree.

RE: Obamacare..............

Yes! It was ME... Thinking it as I read through these comments.

For ALL Americans!!!

This video is unique in that the musicians and vocalist are in different places throughout the U.S., yet the music is mixed perfectly and the voices sing together in unity.

What an awesome job they did putting this one together!

For ALL Americans!!!

Ya'll crack me up!

You've got to watch the video to understand...

For ALL Americans!!!
