CONCERNED? Some who started from humble beginnings who grew in wisdom and faith and became aware of the ETERNAL ONE who lead them to believe that all are “ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR TO HAVE LIFE, LIBERTY, PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS,” etc. Many who believed and shared this openly were and are destroyed emotionally, by reputation, etc. and physcally MURDERED by many who hated them.
It’s been going on since the beginning of human time AND IS SURELY GOING ON NOW: FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN-
JFK, MLK, etc. IT BEGINS WITH VOCAL HATRED, BEATINGS AND ENDS IN HORROR. It’s happening and growing today. WILL YOU PRAY FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR PRESIDENT, HIS FAMILY, OUR NATION, etc.? May God have mercy on those who hate with words of fire and untruths!

WHERE WILL WOMEN AND FEMALE YOUTH TURN TO IF THEY CAN’T AFFORD A DOCTOR?
No matter how much anti-choicers wish otherwise, it’s not feasible to create an approach to women’s health that separates good girl concerns from bad girl concerns. For instance, many women land in gynocologist‘s offices seeking contraceptive services and cervical-cancer screenings, and doctors use that opportunity to teach the art of breast self-exam.


One of the first things I would do as a minister called to another church is to ask for a list of members who no longer came. I would call, setup an appointment with each one of them and go to their homes. I told them everything would be in confidence. I just wanted to know why they no longer came. I heard things like: “the preacher played favorites,” or “I took on too many responsibilities and just burned out,” or, “the trustees or deacons tried to run the church,” or “there was too much quarreling, gossip,” etc.
I assured them that I never played favorites, that I would be open to any concerns they had, etc. We had prayer together. I would leave with this: ” I heard it said that a new broom sweeps clean. I am glad to be your pastor and hope that you will give us another chance. Regardless, please call if I can help in any way.” mackie

‘On July 28, bestselling author Anne Rice officially left the Roman Catholic Church. The writer has had a fairly tumultuous religious history. Although she was raised Catholic, Rice rejected the church for the first time when she was 18.
But in 1998, Rice — who’s famous mostly for writing steamy, gothic, decidedly un-Christian novels such as Interview with the Vampire — had a religious awakening. She converted to Catholicism and began to write exclusively Christian-themed novels, like Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt.
In July, Rice decided she had had enough. She announced her decision on her Facebook page:
“For those who care, and I understand if you don’t: Today I quit being a Christian. I’m out. I remain committed to Christ as always but not to being ‘Christian’ or to being part of Christianity. It’s simply impossible for me to ‘belong’ to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group. For ten years, I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.”
But, the decision wasn’t an easy one.’

With the selection of Barack Obama as the first black Democratic nominee for president seeming more possible by the day, racists and white supremacists are posting increasingly ugly and even threatening remarks on the Internet.

“OBAMA WILL DIE, KKK FOREVER,” concludes a [2] Feb. 15 post by “Rodney” to a blog run by a person identified only as Strider333. Above that signoff, Rodney wrote: “The KKK or someone WILL assassinate Obama! If we get a NIGGER President all you NIGGER’s [sic] will think you’ve won and that the WHITE people will have to bow to you……….”
