SO MUST SHOW THE TOWN WHERE I WAS BORN.
IT's SUMMER TIME HERE NOW.

There Goes Freedom of Speech !

As Reported in The NOT SORRY NEWS: In late September this year the Jewish High Court Judge Mordecai Bromberg ruled that Melbourne journalist, Andrew Bolt, had racially vilified 9 alleged Aborigines by pointing out that although they were as Fair-skinned as the whitest Australian and some having had very little Aboriginal ancestry, they nevertheless chose to identify as Aborigines, many for reasons of gain.

In his articles (2009), Bolt criticised these fair-skinned Aborigines for what he argued was a choice they made, as people with mostly European blood, to emphasise their indigenous heritage over their white heritage. He wrote that some of these fair-skinned Abos, whom he called "political Aboriginality", had received prominence or indigenous awards because they chose to identify with their scant Aboriginality.

The Jewish lawyer for the so-called Aborigines, Ron Merkel, said Bolt was free to express his views on the subject, but should not have chosen to attack the 9 individuals he named in his newspaper columns and blog. He even had the nerve to compare his blog with Nazi writings against the Jews in Germany that asserted that they provoked the rise of the holocaust! Neil Young, lawyer for Bolt, said that was preposterous and argued that freedom of speech trumped other rights and was the cornerstone of democracy.

Mr Bolt took the stand and argued that those who chose to identify with only one part of their background were contributing to racism and came at the cost of less focus on the important issues of education, housing, health and poverty. Unfortunately Judge Bromberg, probably relating to the nasty Holocaust vision by Ron Merkel, ruled against Mr Bolt and every other white Australian with an opinion on the matter. In essence, this insane verdict by Bromberg is endorsing the crazy Racial Vilification Act, which can be used as a battering ram by everybody except white Caucasians to try and silence any criticism of every two-bit minority that wants to play the Race Card.

Andrew Bolt published the absolute and unvarnished truth about Aboriginality. There is not a shadow of a doubt that the 9 plaintiffs have used traces of Aboriginal ancestry to identify as being Aboriginal. What this means is that a person with one-sixteenth Aboriginal ancestry can legitimately imply that he or she is a full-blood Abo and use this as a vehicle to claim all sorts of benefits. It can be easily proven that some of these 9 plaintiffs have exactly that. What a rort!

The Way I See It...that idiot judge has now politicised genetic science by ruling that these and other Abos standing can be legally changed and legally recognised if that person asserts that he is of the race chosen by him...screw DNA testing. This concept these 9 Abos are attesting to and want put into the law books is so stupid, racist and down-right wrong.

We stand right behind Andrew Bolt and his comments about these nine "ghost'' Aborigines. We and many in the journalistic and legal profession condemn this ridiculously stupid verdict by Bromberg and state that this sort of action brings the whole system of Australian jurisprudence into utter contempt. How could any same person have anything but contempt for that scumbag Ron Merkel for pursuing litigation that tramples on the very fundamental concept of freedom of speech, the press and expression, as well as trying to politically and legally overturn scientific fact? Andrew should point-blank refuse to apologise or retract anything has has said in this matter and refuse to pay one cent of compensation. He ought to give those plaintiffs the finger and tell them to stick it up their WHITE asses!

HEAVEN: Another Time, Another Place.

Another year is passing.
A new one begins for us in Australia tomorrow.
Samoa are the first to celebrate the New Year.
Then New Zealand...
With Australia coming sixth and so on...

What will the New Year bring??
No one knows...
None can accurately predict, only God knows.
Some of us my leave this earth next year...
For where??

We are all sinners...YES! we ALL struggle..

BUT, God knows the desires of our hearts,
And He knows, how hard we try.
Perfection will never be ours here on earth.

We have a risen savour in Jesus Christ....
AND, we have the promise of a Heavenly home..
Please listen to this song.. and know where YOU belong.
Believe it... You are covered with His Blood.

Promises, Promises !

Now, with a new U.S. Presidental election on the horizon this coming year I got to thinking about the last one. It was three and half years ago that Mr Barack Obama was campaigning hard for president. He was drawing immense crowds, bringing them to their feet screaming his name. What was he promising these fans (suckers)?

1) That he would end the recession and bring back a healthy, booming economy. Has he done it? Obviously not. The crash stopped because of the rescue of Wall Street by George W. Bush's bailout. I don't see any causative link between Obama's trillion-dollar "stimulus package" and his supersize deficits and the modest recovery there is. There is still extremely high unemployment and a housing foreclosure disaster that could take years to resolve. This was a failed promise.

2) That he would "reset'' relations with Russia.He promised to get friendly relations with this important country. Still the Russians mock the U.S. and balk at any cooperation in the U.N. and everywhere else. Another failure.

3) That he would go over the federal budget "line by line" to weed out waste and corruption that would save so much money to help balance the budget.This one was a laughter from day one. He could not possibly go through the millions of lines in the federal budget. It was just a nonsense. As it happened, we have a wildly bigger budget than ever before and deficits on a scale that is genuinely terrifying. So far...another big failure.

4) That he would bring peace to the Middle East.Another bad and naive promise. The Middle East is more dangerous than ever. Kicking out Mubarak from Egypt has given the land of the Nile an anti-Israel, anti-u.S. government that is already working hand in glove with the terrorists in Gaza. Libya has also joined the club. Fail!

5) That he would create a new, peaceful productive relationship with Iran.Oops! Did he really believe that? Was he delusional or just naive? He missed the opportunity to oust that scumbag regime when the young people rioted against rigged elections but sat on his hands instead of extending his support so the revolution eventually was crushed. Big failure.

The Way I See It....is that the man is an inept failure. He couldn't lead a dog down a street much less show some "balls" in the international arena. In an effort to woo over the Muslim world he seems to believe somehow that even criticism of radial extremists of Islam is a slap in the face to their religion as a whole. Americans are angry that he obviously has not taken the war on terror seriously enough, especially when they see that government officials won't even utter the word "Islamic radicalism." That smacks of APPEASEMENT! Maybe his Muslim roots are to blame.

The world knew how that great statesman Winston Churchill felt about appeasing one's enemy. To quote the great man: "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." And to add insult to injury, Obama has insulted our two best friends in the world --Britain and Israel --by showing his contempt for them.

It is very hard to find any real pluses in his term so far with his Socialist agenda consistently undermining the very principles that was made America great. This is how great nations fold up. They get small men and women in Big jobs. He should definately not be voted back in as President.

U.S Trumped by China says Trump !

Two days ago Donald Trump angrily stated in an interview from Newsmax Magazine that Obama's administration's decision not to call China out as a currency manipulator is totally "inconceivable" because "all you have to do is look at the numbers, they have doing it for years." He said emphatically that President Barack Obama does not command Chinese respect.

Earlier this week, Obama declined to label China a currency manipulator after seeing recent increases in the value of the Yuan compared to the Dollar. Trump said, "We have a naive bunch in the White House that has the Chinese laughing at us. I deal with the Chinese all the time...they tell me they cannot believe what they are getting away with. They are not our friends." He says the Chinese make it impossible for U.S. companies to remain competitive because the currency manipulation is so severe. "We let them take our jobs", he added.

"They take our money and then they loan it back to us and we pay them interest and Obama's given us a $16 trillion deficit," he said. "The whole thing is absolutely insane. And for this bum, as President, to say they don't manipulate their currency is...really a LIE to the American people." He stated the President is beholden to lobbyists on this issue.

The real estate billionaire said if he was President, he would put a 25% tax on all the goods coming in from China, although a treat to do so would probably be enough for the Chinese to back off. "If only Obama had the balls to do it! And you'll get some government troll say 'Oh, you'll stop free trade.' This is no free trade--this is stupid trade -- this is stupid on our behalf. And we have to stop it, we have to stop it soon. It is destroying our country!"

The Way I See It....the Chinese economy is poised to surpass the U.S. economy later this century. America is practically owned by China. China is the largest holder of Treasury paper, with 850 billion as of July. Obama's government isn't addressing the trade deficit and the exploding debt burden. As a student of history...I see there is a parallel to the collapse of Britain's empire in the 20th Century.

China and India represented the world's two biggest economies in 1832, and that ranking will repeat itself by 2032. The 200 years when Britain and the United States were the top two economies were an aberration, and that will change...unfortunately. The decline of empires has happened much faster than folks think. To be on the safe-side, my advice would be that gold will be a far better bet in 20 years than the dollar.

Capitol Steps - Buy, Buy American Pie

Happy New Year all... 

And lets remember to buy Home Made.

Thought I'd slip in this picture of the Amedisys Nurses and Team

where I used to work in Tennessee.

Hey Mates, you are all the best!!!

I Think Congratulations are in Order

OK...it is for those of you born in the 1930's, 40's, 50's and even the 1960's. Congrats! Why? Because you will have a right to be a little smug as I have you reflect on those innocent years with their not so terrible consquences that made us what we are today.

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses with no air conditioning. They took aspirin, ate soft cheeses, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can and fish caught by their husbands. And our mothers didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet and enjoyed "housekeeping".

Then after that risky pregnancy business, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets. When riding our bikes we had no helmets and many times no shoes. Back then we didn't need to worry about hitchhiking either. We would also ride in the family car with no seat belts or air bags.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a plastic bottle and we shared a drink with four friends from a soda bottle without getting sick. Our mother cooked all the meals as take-away food was limited to fish and chips. There were no Pizza shops, McDonalds, KFC, Subway or Nandos. And even though all the shops closed a 6:00pm and didn't open on Sundays, somehow we didn't starve to death!

We ate biscuits, white bread with real butter and had sugary drinks but we weren't overweight because...WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on the folks were happy. No one was able to reach us all day and we seemed better for it. We never were house-bound by Playstations, Nintendo Wiis, X-boxes or video games but by rainy days and couldn't wait to go out. We had friends and we went outside and found them.

We fell out of trees and off of monkey bars, got cut, broke bones and even teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. It was "Grin & Bear It". The boys were given air or BB guns on their 10th birthday and later on were much appreciated in the armed services for their marksmanship and at the same age ONLY girls got their ears pierced.

The Way I See It....in those days the Rugby, Football, Cricket and/or the Baseball try outs were tough on those that didn't make the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with the disappointment, because we all knew then that getting onto the team was based on Merit. We got toughened up when our teachers smacked us with a ruler for being inattentive, stood us in a corner or sent us to the principle's office for the cane. Through all of this our self-esteem was bruised maybe, but never crushed by being shown how to behave responsibly.

And finally...the idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the Law! All in all...we had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all! Congratulations to you....the Older Generations!

A Swag man or a Hobo

The swag man of my childhood.
Carried his swag (sleeping blanket) on his back.
A blackened old billy to heat his tea.
And a few other items in an dilapidated sugar bag.

 I watched a program the other night featuring a man who has wandered homeless for forty years.
He used to be a bank teller.
Then he decided he wanted to roam free, go where he liked and live a natural life.
He draws no government money so I suppose he does, the same as the swaggies of old.

As a child growing up in a small rural community, we often had these men wander into our small farm.
If I was the first to spot one coming over our hill, I'd run to tell my mother.
She prepared a tray of food while he chopped us a load of fire wood.
Then, sitting on our garden bench, under two tall gum trees, this roamer would eat his fill.
He usually had two huge sandwiches, one filled with cold lamb the other tomato, or jam.
Also a pot of hot tea, with milk and sugar on the side, plenty for him to top up on.
I always sat on the ground and watched as he ate without talking.
When he was finished he returned the tray to mum and thanked her, before heading off.

 

I can't imagine such a life.

On your own with no one to talk to.

                                                        Sleeping out in the rain or cold.

There is a verse in the bible that reminds me of this....

Jesus replied, 

“Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
Luke 9: 58

I pray (if you haven't already done so), that you invite Jesus....
Into you home and life today.

BEWARE....the Cult of Deafness!

Last month, in Australia, a prominent educator on disabled children is under attack from the deaf community after reports that she described deafness "as a scourge in our world" during an awards ceremony. The remarks by Dr Dimity Dorman (see photo), director of Brisbane-based organisation Hear and Say, which teaches deaf children how to listen and speak, were made when she was named Telstra's Queensland Businesswoman of the Year on Tuesday and got on stage and started to speak.

Dr Dornan could never have imagined, as she rose to accept her award that she was about to be accused of genocide! Nor could she have imagined that Telstra, in naming her for this prestigious award was about to censor her for a crime against multiculturalism or for just general offensiveness. I doubt you'll quarrel with a words of what she said.

According to the Brisbane Times, Dornan gave a reved-up speech that included this: "I think deafness is at the same stage as polio was a few decades ago. It is a scourge in our world but it can be almost completely eradicated." Oops!!

Within 48 hours, Deaf Australia, Deaf Victoria and the Deaf Association of New South Wales all demanded Dr Dornan apologise for insulting deaf people, while hundreds of other assholes denounced her on a Facebook page called (if you can believe it) STOP DEAF CULTURAL GENOCIDE, with other deadshits demanding she be sued for vilification!

Gutless Telstra, which makes a fortune from people communicating, snipped Dornan's own words, removing from its website and YouTube a video of her speech on the grounds her comments could offend. It was, of course, to have the nerve to say deafness was an illness, a scourge, and something that should be eradicated. It was to treat the deaf as disabled and not just another of our multicultural minorities. BooHoo!

Hear it from Sharon Everson, head of the Deaf Society in NSW; "People just find it SO offensive that hearing people still want to cure them...that hearing people aren't willing to value, I suppose, what is a deaf community." What Everson is hinting at is that there is what some fanatics in the deaf community call "a Deaf Culture". (cult for short) As a lobby group Aussie Deaf Kids puts it: "For culturally deaf people, to be deaf is a natural state of being...to express sadness or regret (god-forbid!) for a person's deafness can be considered a lack of acceptance of who they are." You wouldn't want to hurt their self-esteem, now would you...it's pathetic!

The Way I See It....this is political correctness gone mad. Soon we'll have the RSPCA attacked for calling female dogs "bitches"....give me a break! Surely any normal, sane (no offence to the fruitcakes out there) individual can comprehend she wants to get rid of the scourge of deafness, not that deaf people are a scourge. Even Blind Freddy (oops!) could see this.

I don't think deaf people should be "proud" of being deaf any more than an alcoholic should be proud of their excessive drinking. Sure, be proud of what being deaf has taught you. Be proud of how you have overcome the obstacles being deaf creates. Be proud of the innovation and tenacity of the deaf community and the help it gets from wonderful people like Dr Dornan. But does anyone seriously suggest that the "Deaf Culture" should be reinforced with cries of villification if its possible to consign this disability to the history books?

Note: Federal Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Graeme Innes, said he can't understand the deaf community's silliness about the speech but reminded them that Australia had no disability vilification laws and thus there was no basis to lodge a complaint. Mr Innes said, "I have no argument with Dr Dornan's right to hold her opinions and I hope I don't hear anything more about this."

Psalms 23. IS YOUR HOPE FOR NOW !!

The 23rd Psalm holds many promises.
And those promises are for today, for now.
That's why it begins with......
The Lord IS My Sheppard,
Not WAS my Sheppard..
But IS My Sheppard.
As you watch this video it will reassure Gods promises to you..
Take it into your soul and rest in His eternal love today.

Merry CHRISTmas

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights.."  James 1:17
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Christmas Eve Thoughts

I love Christmas. I love the decorations, the lights on the tree and up and down every street. I love the feeling in the air and the cooking and last minute rushing around. Yep, it's my favourite time of the year. But this year I have had a realisation that I am unsure about.

Christmas is full of pretence. From the moment we understand anything at all about Christmas, our parents pretend there is a fat man who somehow gets around the world in one night and manages to enter and exit our homes via a chimney which we may or may not even have!

When we are a little bit older we learn to pretend we love every single thing we unwrap, "It's exactly what I always wanted." We learn to pretend when Uncle Micheal makes a joke, it's funny; we learn that we must pretend we enjoy hearing "My, how you've grown!" twenty times from twenty separate relatives we don't even really remember and who all enjoy stating the bleeding obvious.

We pretend that it's okay to have five extra house-guests turn up on Christmas Eve. We pretend it's okay that our favourite wine glass gets broken and we pretend...maybe not too successfully...that the red wine stain on our carpet will come out with a professional clean. The world over, people are pretending for the Christmas season. And I wonder if that's a bad thing.

We do it, essentially, to avoid hurting people's feelings and keeping the peace. We don't want to be the ones who ruined Christmas...so we grit our teeth and pretend all is going well.

The Way I See It....I wonder why we don't do it all year round? The thing with pretending is this: the longer you do it, the more it becomes your reality. Maybe if we pretended more often to appreciate family and enjoy being with them, we would soon find we don't need to pretend any more. If we pretended more often not to care about our material possessions, like wine glasses and carpet, we might find our priorities changing so we can better see the Big Picture of our existence.

We just might find that our pretence turns into honesty and surely that can only be beneficial to us, our families and our communities. Then maybe we can take leaf out of the book of a certain baby born over 2000 years ago. And this particular baby was pretending to be nothing other than who He was. May you enjoy this Christmas, and future Christmases, in a new light and perspective.

 My Inspirational Book Verse: 

"For with God nothing shall be impossible."
—Luke 1:37 (KJV)

The Story:        
Twenty-seven-year-old Ariana Ross has not had an easy life. 
Orphaned at two after her parents are murdered, she is raised by her father’s family in Queensland, Australia.
Ariana—who embraces spirituality and refuses to believe life is against
her—eventually becomes a physician. Now, as Ariana heads to new beginnings at a medical practice in Gumbirra, Queensland, she hopes to broaden her horizons, tend to her patients with the help of God’s love, and leave her past behind. 

She has no idea how many surprises await to change her life forever.
After relocating, Ariana encounters Zane Lombardi, a handsome, angry stranger who leaves her heart thumping. It is only after another chance encounter with him that she realizes he is an emotionally scarred man who has lost his trust in women. Even so, the pair are so attracted to each other that it seems destiny dictates the potential for a relationship. 
As Ariana forges new friendships and heals her patients, Zane must reconcile his past as well as his relationship with God as he looks toward the future.
 
In this contemporary Christian tale, Ariana finds that
her quest for a new beginning seems to be leading her
to not only love, but also to an amazing discovery that
may bring her inner peace at last.

Jesus - Loves - Me & You

Just As I Am

I was a young seventeen year old student nurse in a large Sydney hospital.
My best friend Yvonne, persuaded me to attend a church rally.
It was the first time I had ever been to one of those.
I was a shy niave country girl.

Towards the end of the service this song was sung.
Tears rolled down my face as the Words hit home.
Jesus had died for me.
I gave my heart to Him completly that night, and the Holy Spirit filled me with His healing power.
The years of hurt, fear, lonliness and dread disappeared, as I knelt at that Altar, and accepted Him.

True Love

Life is Fragile...

True Love is not. 

                                                                      Our Mille and Marley

  “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

Jesus said to him, 

“You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, 

with all your soul, and with all your mind. 

This is the first and great commandment. 

And the second is like it: 

‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself."(without distinction)

^{Matthew 26:36-39}

Mary's Boy Child - by Harry Belafonte

I love this older version.
It is so sensitive....
Have you ever thought how old Mary was when the Angel visited her?
It is supposed she was between 12-14years...very young indeed.
Young to have not been afraid when the Angel visited her.
Young to be brave enough to risk a stoning for expecting a child when not married.
Young to have such a complete faith in God.
Young to stand firm in that faith.

 In Mary's own Words she confesses:

"My soul magnifies the Lord,

And my spirit rejoices

In God My Saviour."

Luke  Chap 1 Verse 46.

Only a sinner needs a savour, yet here we read Mary confesses to her own imperfection.
What a wonderful young woman.
No wonder God chose her, as the mother of Jesus.

As a nurse I know a child mainly has the same blood grouping of its father.
The blood in Jesus, came from the Father.

Medics Dummy-Spit Over New Chiro-School

If it wasn't so pathetic...it would be funny. News articles have come out saying that Central Queensland University (in Mackay, Queensland) is under fire over its new Chiropractic course, described by a group of uninformed scientists and doctors as based on "anti-science". They want courses in chiropractic, as well as acupuncture and naturopathy, scrapped claiming they are a misuse of public money and encourage quackery. (sic!)

A bluntly worded letter to the university's hierarchy, signed by 34 medical people, including former Australian-of-the-Year, the Ian Frazer, known for his development of the deadly Gardasil vaccine. (See my April 26 & 27th, 2010 postings on Gardasil) It seems to have escaped these high-minded individuals that there are three other chiropractic programs in Australia situated in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth and now also in Auckland, New Zealand that can't keep up with the public's demand for chiropractic's natural healing approach.

The really stupid argument they present is that "it is necessary to protect consumers (they mean sick people) from the dangers of scientifically unproven practices and having universities giving undeserved credibility to alternative therapies." They seem to forget that Chiropractic is only 5 or so years younger than medicine. It's credibility goes back to 1895 when structural spinal misalignment causing interference to nerve supply was theorised to effect the innate health of an individual. That theory is now a fact of daily practice life for every modern chiropractor and their patients.

Speaking of unscientific, Dr Bruce Lipton, medical doctor and researcher, stated that much of medical practice itself is far from being a proven evidence-based approach. He says that only 15% of medical principles and practice qualify as being scientifically proven. You know the familiar line: "Try these pills, Mrs Jones this week and if they don''t work we'll switch to a new lot." He says that Medicine has rejected Chiropractic from the beginning because "they saw it as metaphysical. And what they call metaphysical is what we now call today Quantum Physics. Medicine is outdated, because medicine hasn't adopted Quantum Physics and it turns out that the new research reveals that the primary mechanisms controlling the body's biology are from the quantum field."

Dr Lipton states; "that allopathic medicine's old fashioned because it's still locked in to using the old physical universe of Newtonian foundations and chiropractic has been using quantum mechanics since its inception. The philosophy of chiropractic, as first postulated by D.D. Palmer, is more scientifically accurate than the principles used by allopathic medicine. It's a joke to me, because the allopathic model is the wrong model, that's why it doesn't work at keeping people well. All this treating symptoms while mostly not correcting the underlying cause of most illness."

Of course, even the pure, simple approach of chiropractic to natural healing has some oddballs in its ranks. There are colleagues (I use the term loosely) that want to limit chiropractic's help of sick humanity by confining spinal treatment to evidence-based conditions; to match the flawed allopathic model. We call these..."Medi-Practors." These people want to be recognized by medicine by discarding the original principles of D.D. Palmer and are willing to sell their soul to become medically acceptable by treating conditions rather then removing interference to spinal nerve supply (life force) to bring out the health in the patient no matter what the age group.

The Way I See It....chiropractic has had a much more accurate assessment of the flow of information in the biology in the world of the nervous system than conventional medicine. For some reason, perhaps pure arrogance, the medical profession hasn't seen the forest-for-the-trees. They can't make the connection between vertebral misalignment causing nerve interference...hence the supply to that organ, gland or tissue suffers loss of vitality. So simple.

Thirty-four misguided medicos making a big stink over one more university offering the most profound health-giving paradigm of this century sounds to me like Sour Grapes. Chiropractic, started in the 19th century, gained worldwide acceptance in the 20th century, and has now become a growing leader with the new buzz-word...Wellness Care. Governments around the world are crying out for an answer to the growing tsunami of baby-boomers and how to keep them well longer and off the hospital rolls.....and here it is... staring them in the face!

Finally, in a statement, the Central Queensland University's dean of medical and applied sciences, Grant Stanley, said, "Chiropractic is a discipline recognised by the Australian Government and the university's chiropractic program was evidence-based and WELLNESS-FOCUSED." Enough said I think!

Sowing Seeds of Good or Evil

These are some Words of a wise old song:

We are sowing, daily sowing
Countless seeds of good and ill
Scattered on the level low land
Cast upon the windy hill
Seeds that sink in rich brown farrows
Soft with Heavens gracious rain
Seeds that rest upon the surface
Of the dry unyielding plain

We need to be mindful of, how our seeds (what we say and do) effect others.
What are their consequences?
One of the greatest lessons in life, is to learn that we are accountable for our own choices.
We are responsible for our own acts, and for their intent and outcome.
We need to be mindful...

And with this, I need to say.
I ask forgiveness if I have ever hurt or offended anyone, by my words on here.

   but a harsh word stirs up anger."

You Trust These Bastards With Your Health?

Pharmaceutical giant CSL was reprimanded by the US Food & Drug Administration last month for "high-risk deviations" in its vaccine production that caused Australia to ban the company's flu shot for young children. (See my exposure of this cover up in my May 17th, 2010 posting)

The FDA's inspection report raised concerns that live swine flu virus was not properly deactivated to minimise the horrendous side effects of the combo vaccination. CSL's seasonal flu vaccine Fluvax, has been suspended for use by under-fives in Australia, Europe and now the US since it triggered febrile convulsions at 10 times the expected rate! So these bastards actually expect a number of convulsions from the crap they are putting into the bodies of their ignorant victims. Astonishing!

The report revealed that CSL dismissed as a "false result"a test that detected "an infectious virus" in a sample that investigator Rose Ashley reported. "I informed CSL that this was a new virus that may not perform as other viruses performed." Ms Ashley then told two other CSL officials the test could not assure the viral inactivation was achieved and further tests should be conducted to ensure the inactivation process was achieved. She was fobbed off with a terse reply, "All material has been demonstrated to be inactivated."

The FDA report also found vaccine solutions were not protected from "'contamination", as operators failed to wear masks. Better late than never, a CSL spokeswoman said it is now requiring its operators to wear face masks. What other forms of benign neglect will the FDA discover in future as CSL continues to market a vaccine with dubious effectiveness.

Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration said it is auditing CSL monthly to see if they have improved their compliance system and have improved current processes and their quality control. It's always after the "horse-has-bolted" and innocent people are injured by slapdash production and sleeping watchdogs that make the headlines and gets the public irate, but not irate enough to refuse to have these useless shots.

The Way I See It....medical brainwashing of the public is ingrained in our society even after year after year there are studies showing flu vaccines DO NOT provide any benefit no matter what age group you are in. Three years ago a study in the British Medical Journal concluded that the effectiveness of annual flu shots has been exaggerated and that in reality they have little or no effect on influenza campaign objectives, including reducing the number of hospital stays, time off work and death from the flu and its complications. Say "NO" to the Bastards!

Belly-Fat Boosts Eye Disease Risk

Excess abdominal fat increases the risk of age-related macular degeneration in middle-aged men and may have an opposite effect in women, says a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in older people and treatment options are limited. A study of 21, 290 Australians who were followed from their 40s to mid-80s found that each o.1 increase in the waist/hip ratio was associated with a 13% increased chance of developing early-stage AMD and a 75% increased chance of the more severe late-stage AMD, but only in men. Strangely, abdominal obesity reduced early AMD risk in women by 7% to 11%.

"Belly-fat releases estrogen and other chemicals (like cytokines) that may contribute to inflammation associated with AMD", researchers said. The inverse association in women could reflect a genetic resilience to disease seen older people called "the Survivorship Effect" plus the protective effects of long-term estrogen exposure.

AMD occurs when central vision deteriorates, making reading, close work and recognizing face more difficult. The most common forms are Dry and Wet AMD. Dry AMD results in a gradual loss of central vision and Wet AMD leads to sudden and significant changes in vision.

What are the symptoms?

• A gradual decline in the ability to see objects clearly


• Distorted vision


• Dark or empty spaces blocking the central field of vision


• Dimming of colour vision

The Way I See It....there is currently no cure of Age-related Macular Degeneration but treatments are available that are aimed at maintaining the vision for as long possible. You must visit an eye doctor about seeing if other eye problems that affect vision can be detected. Also an up-to-date glasses prescription is important as well as getting any cataracts and glaucoma treated.

Aside from the new found belly-fat risk just mentioned, there is a now a well-established link between smoking and AMD....so it makes good sense for women as well as men to avoid or give up smoking as they enter their third trimester of Life.

Do You See The World With Eye Blinders?

 Is your Christian Focus only on what you hear?
Or do you read Gods Word (the Bible) for yourself, asking the Holy Spirit to teach you?

 Do you only see straight ahead....
Like a racing horse wearing eye blinders?
Being brought up in one particular faith...
Do you hang on to that as the one and only TRUE way to heaven?
Please don't stop reading, perhaps God is speaking to you today.

Jesus was a Jew, I am not!
I am a Gentile, someone who St Paul was sent by Jesus,  to teach. 
The very first Christian Faith, which Jesus and His disciples followed was known as:
The Sect Of The Nazarene. 

Because of that, Paul was persecuted by the Jews, even though he was a Jew.  

“We have found this man (St Paul) to be a troublemaker, 

stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. 

He is a ringleader of the Nazarene Sect and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.

Acts 24:5

Aha! because Paul was teaching about a faith in a risen Christ, his own Jewish faith was against him... They liked POMP...and Ceremony.

In those days a church was known as a sect.
Many readers will not wish to read this..BUT, it is the truth, because, God's Word does not lie.
Only man lies...when deceived by satan, the prince of liars.

Through my life God has lead me to be a part of many different denominations.
I praise Him for allowing this.
Because during my walk I have discovered that most of us choose what suits us.
'It was good enough for my parents, so it is good enough for me."
(Many of our parents used candles, yet we use electric light.)

What we are where we feel is right, and where we think God wants us to be.
Or where we seem to fit in.

Looking at the Bible which is GODS WORD, I know that The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit
MUST COME FIRST, before any denomination
Go to your Bible and read the following.

Romans 14                                                                                                                                               Do Not Pass Judgment on One Another.

Also read....there is No Longer a required Penance For Sin!!
Gods Word Says So!

  

Hebrews:10-16-18

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin."    
JESUS CHRIST BECAME THAT SIN OFFERING ONCE AND FOR ALL.

He and he alone forgives, when we ask him to... read your bible.

I have come a long way in my faith over my sixty plus years. 

After attending a mission Sunday School as a child my love of the Lord was instilled in scripture, prayer and song.
And as the Word tells us, when we bring a child up to know Him, it will never depart from it....

I was brought up in the Salvation Army and taught to love and accept every denomination with respect.

So I place no tag of a certain faith on my Blog, although I do belong to one.
In Heaven there will be no sign posts directing one Faith this way and another Faith that way.
As seen in many cemeteries today..   Man makes division! God does not!!


When Jesus died on the cross, he put to death, the hostility between the Jews and the Gentiles,(Ephesians 2:14) that applies to how we should love and accept one another within the body of Christ today.....
God bless all who read these words and become a true follower of Jesus Christ...
Don't leave your denomination, but be a shining light within them.

The Glory of the Lord

"And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Luke 2:9

If this were to happen to me, I am sure I would also feel fearful.
The night was calm, and the stars shone.
Then suddenly, an angel appeared..
No light was needed, for Gods Glory shone.
Then perhaps hundreds of thousands of angels appeared...
Wouldn't your heart pound in fear?

Doesn't this make you think?
Angels are around us all the time.
Yet can only be seen, at certain times.

Jesus was not born on the 25th December. Many of you know this.
It was actually a pagan date as the birthday of the Sun God.

I won't get into when I think he may have been born.
The wondrous fact is, God came down to earth as a human child.
He grew up knowing the realities of this world from a human prospective.
No silver spoon in his mouth.
Life was tough.
He understands us, because He cared enough, to be one of us.

Long overdo…

It has been a while since we last posted. We are still homeschooling but have not been posting about our adventures online.  There have some family events that have taken much of my time online away. Now that some time has been set aside, I can begin sharing with family and friends our studies.       

This week we are rowing with Blue Berries for Sal and I plan on sharing our week this weekend.

About me?

 I received this award from Rhonda, another dear sweet Blogger.
Thank you dear heart... 
 http://joybug56-denimlace.blogspot.com/

There's not much to tell about me...
I was born three days before Christmas, so my mother named me Crystal.
She thought it went well with our surname of White... and she still thinks this.
Have to love her...she meant well. 
How I was teased at school and how I hated the full name.
I got, Snow White (my hair was blond), White wash, and Mary had a little lamb. 
My second name of Mary was after an aunt and second aunt.

For the rest..... my testimony is:

"It's no longer I that liveth, but Christ that liveth in me."

 

Always: Forgive and Love others.

                                                                      It heals you as much as them.

Old Man Emu

 Every time I look at my photo of Ray and our little dog Monty with the Emu I have to laugh.

 We were staying in an outback Caravan Park where an emu roamed.
I thought it belonged to the owners, so told Ray we needed to keep an eye out that Monty didn't take after it.
Ray isn't used to the antics of emu's and let Monty off his lead.
Immediately our little dog took off, chasing the big bird.
Around a shed they raced, out of sight while Ray and I watched, horrified that we'd be asked to leave the park.
Next thing Monty comes running for his life, with the tables turned....
The emu was chasing him at full speed.
Monty ran behind a stunned Ray and myself, diving under the caravan for cover..
Gosh we laughed!!


I went off to apologise to the Park owners.
"Oh, he doesn't belong to us," they reassured.
"And don't feed the thing or he'll be knocking on your door day and night."
Well, it was too late. Ray had already fed it and now we knew who'd been waking us up!


Poor Monty, he kept well away from that big eyed emu in future...
There is was no way, he could out run one of them!

Australian school phone answering machine message

Hi, I shared this with you a few weeks ago, but something went wrong, and the message failed.
I hope you all get to hear it this time.
What a crack-up.....
This High School is here on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland.
I don't know if it was real, it may have been? And good on them if it was.
Australians don't beat around the bush, they say it for what it is.
Hope you have a good laugh.

The Flame Tree

 This tree is called the Illawarra flame tree, or flame kurrajong.
It is a member of the Jacaranda family. 

And a native to the forests of eastern Australia, it grows to about 15 metres (45 feet) tall.

At present  trees are blooming all over our town.

Some are saplings while others  flower on only part of the tree.

The one in this photo sits on council land at the side of the cemetery on the way to Ray's golf club.

I have never seen one as happy or healthy....

The first of December heralded summer in Australia.
And  with the trees flowering everywhere I am beginning to feel a hot bush Christmas in the air.


Last year was a solemn time for all due to the floods.
This year it seems will be very different.

Only..

My son Peter will be working away, hundreds of miles from home.   
He is a coach captain to the mines in far North Queensland. 
The rest of us we will be thinking and praying for Peter not to be by himself on Christmas Day. 

The holidays are a joy for many,  yet a sad time for the lonely....

"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, 

for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."

Hebrews 13:16

Finishing this blog

Thank you to all who have followed and enjoyed this blog but my health is too poor now to be able to maintain it. My main blogs such as

http://goldenagepaintings.blogspot.com/

will continue but I must cut back on what I can do - though I still love sharing some lovely images.

Self Confidence

 

Self confidence all comes from the thoughts in our mind.

I am sure all who read my Blog and my comments on theirs, will think I am a very self confident person.

Well, this may surprise you, because I am not!

It's taken me years to build up confidence.

And still I have times of terrible self destruction in my mind.

WORDS...

Our Words to our self..

And the Words of others to us!

Can do much to destroy our self esteem and confidence.

In my first marriage (over thirty years) I was constantly told I was stupid.

So much so, that I believed it.

  and I sometimes still tell myself this, often aloud!!

Then I have to remind myself, WHO I am in Christ.

And that God loves me,  just as I am.

In His Word.....and His Word is truth, 

He tells me He lovingly formed me.

“And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. 

We are the clay, and you are the potter. 

We all are formed by your hand.” (Isaiah 64:8)

I was formed by God's hand, now that can make me feel better!

By this I know, I am not so bad after all. 

Sometimes our thoughts are completely wrong.

Our mind can run away, thinking something that is not true.

When this happens I/you/we, need to ask ourselves.

"Where is the evidence to what I am thinking?"

An Example:

A friend doesn't call you, so YOU THINK they don't care.

*When the truth is, they have problems of their own and they are waiting for you to call them.

You attend a new church and not many, or no one, come to greet you.

So you feel unworthy, unwanted.... and walk away, despondant, never to return.

*INSTEAD, you could walk forward and introduce yourself to those around you. 

Proverbs 23:7 says..

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is."

We think with our feelings, and our emotions. So that's where the devil attacks.

In our most vulnerable place. 

He wants us to feel unwanted and unloved.

He wants to reduce our self image, and esteem.

He wants to take away our confidence, that we are beloved of God.

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,

but against principalities, 

against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this age,  

against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Ephesians 6:12 

When I get down in spirit and my thoughts are misconstrued. 

I speak scripture aloud because I know it is the Sword of the Word..

I know that if I resist the devil, he will flee from me.

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God 

for pulling down strongholds.

2 Corinthians 10:4

Because...

"I have been crucified with Christ; 

it is no longer I who live, 

but Christ lives in me; 

and the life which I now live in the flesh 

I live by faith in the Son of God, 

who loved me and gave Himself for me."

Galatians 2:20

AMEN

Refresh your soul.....God loves me/you/us.
