‘REMEMBER TERROR’S VICTIMS OF 9-11.’

 Interesting news story from the Sunday Chicago Tribune on 9-11 A Decade Later. The Victims lost and those brave Firefighters and Police who went in to save them.  The new towers will have a memorial park and reflecting pond with the names of those lost that day. Plus hope to rebuild St. Nick Church lost that day as well. In this writer’s opinion, God rest and a tip of the hat  to you big time and those who want to continue progress against these dumb terrorist!

RE: The Costa Concorida

  From the Catholic Americans a Heartfelt sorry for the lost  for the sinking of the Costa Concorida off the Tuscan coast last week. So far there are still many missing and answers that have to be filled. Such as, why did the captain sail so close to that coastline? Who was that lady on the ship with the captain? Was he drunk? Why did he ‘ bail out ” when the ship hit? What now for the shipping lines? Many questions. Our heart go out to the families and victims. God speed.

‘SELLING OUT THE MILITARY NOT A GOOD IDEA.’

  Listening to “FACE THE NATION ON C.B.S.’ made me shake. The talk tonight was a smaller military and returning using smaller amount of personnel and equipment to fight two wars if needed in the world.  We feel this is a short-sighted idea and may cause harm than any good if Pres. Obama has his way.

 The reason for this is that in a world with terrorism waiting to occur is a dangerous. We need a strong military and navy to act fast to a growing threat in Iran of having a bomb and blocking off a canal that we need for oil supply. We agree with Senator Mc’Cain that President Obama is acting short-sighted and overlooking a problem needing action.

  We cannot let Iran get a bomb and have to hit them in the pocketbook to make them come under control. If that fails, then military action maybe an idea. We have to have all options open. We can not leave the military short.  That will in the end with cause a lost of a war and military people  on our side! Not to mention United States interests!

‘SEASON ‘S NO REASON.’

 Here are some ideas I found in the Chicago Tribune Employment section 12-18-2011. I know it is hard for workers today to find employment and I say don’t give dear reader. Keep up the good fight and have hope. You will have success.  I hope this helps I been there and done that. From temp work to jobs I would never bother with. As a dear friend of ours said once, ‘You do what you have to do.’

 Take contract work, retail and temp work. Many companies will hire full-time if they get a try out first. That is, if you ” fit the job.’ Many places will hire part-time and then a full-time slot later. Maybe a first climb up that ladder.

 Network. This worked for me and still doses. Never hurts to have friends looking for you also if you let them know you’re looking for a job. I have a sister who is looking and I have my friends and my wife’s friends looking and we even pick up apps when at Sears or Meier’s! Never wrong or shameful to get a little help from friends as the song goes.

 Volunteer. This is a good to keep going and feel good about helping others. Plus looking networking once again with others who are helping out and building friends as well! 

 Interview. Go out looking for other jobs if one is open. Keeps up your skills and how to answer those hard questions thrown at you in a seconds flash. You get better as you go along. Finally, be yourself. No one is perfect( God is) They are not looking for a Superman or Superhuman woman. Just do the new job. That is all they ask.

 In closing, with networking, interview, and walking the pavement, I hope this helps and not give up dear reader and have hope. I will pray for you as well and that we have a good 2012!!

BEST SUCCESS!

‘ THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!’

Dear brave citizen soldiers-

‘OBAMA AS T.R.? ARE YOU SERIOUS?’

 President Obama was in Kansas State giving an economy speech with the believe of the ” New Theodore Roosevelt ‘ with hopes people will take that seriously. Really? Lets see, T.R. was born in New York State, police commissioner, a war hero  during the Spanish-American  War, vice president, and President.  In a nut shell a true American who loved his country and God.

   Later a writer, traveler, hunter, and even put the country first not party going Bull Moose in 1912. He would have been elected president in 1920 if he hadn’t passed away in 1919.

  President Obama? I will stop here because I don’t want to be a person who talks bad of people. I will have to refrain myself from laughing as I add his profile. I can’t type and do that. Please! No match up here.

‘SPEAK UP FOR PREMATURE INFANTS. THEY CAN’T DO IT FOR THEMSELVES.’

Dear friends

1 in   8 babies are born smaller than this ad.  They are born premature, tiny, and vulnerable. but it’s not just their size that puts them at risk.  This  is why I like your help with this growing problem and what you and I can do. Over all, pray. That goes a long ways. Only God can do the heavy lifting. But I would like to make all aware of.

 Here are the shocking facts I read from Parade.com about this. Among many health problems preemies have underdeveloped airways which puts them at risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease such as bronchitis and or pneumonia.  In short,  November is Premature Awareness Day.

PREMATURITY AWARENESS. Today and Every Day.

God bless you and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

‘ONE STATE PERSONIFIES PERSONHOOD PUSH.’

 In Clarksdale Mississippi, Gail Giaramita is going door to door in general to announce a new bill or law, INITIATIVE 26. That is if you believe that the unborn are human beings, then vote yes. if you want to kill the unborn, vote no. That is that.

 For the pro-life side this could be the answer to over turning Roe V Wade in the United States by state rights. Proponents call this a scare tactic and would keep a woman from getting birth control and other help from clinics. Civil Libbers and other group vow to take it to that state highest court to be defeated.

 In this writer’s opinion, good for the state of Mississippi! For too long abortion has been going on and with the killing of the unborn! As a  Catholic, I seen pictures of what is done and I will not tell what they are here. ( see www. priestsforlife.org  for that.)  I will say that life doses start in the womb at an early stage and deserves to be brought into the world.

 I am glad that state has this on the table and that other states will follow suit such as my state of Illinois. Even our governor in due respect jumping on the band wagon by hosting a  pro abortions award dinner! 

 The pro-life forces even had to take the state to court over a pro-life  licence plate the state didn’t feel we should display. The governor, general assembly, and the heads of the dmv.  What gives? The bottom line is,  abortion is evil and has to be ended now!  Pray that this passes and the ball gets rolling so to speak.

‘PERRY EMERGING AS A FORCE WITHIN THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT.’

Washington Chicago Tribune

‘On a remote ranch more than 70 miles out of Austin, evangelical leaders assembled for a 2 day retreat. It wasn’t a religious revival that drew the group of 2oo Christians but the chance to hear Governor Rick Perry give his testimony why he should be President Of The United States.

  Among Perry’s promises to those at the ranch that he would select a pro-life running mate. He spoke openly about his faith and was honest and very upfront on his answers.  ( I like the pro-life part.)

  The  retreat comes just weeks after Perry hosted a prayer rally at a stadium in Houston Christian leaders agree he had solidified his standing as he now heads to Iowa and South Carolina to get the word out about why he should be president. 

  The meeting received little public notice even though the attendees included James Dodson of Focus On The Family, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Bishop Harry Jackson of the largest Black churches in the United States for example.’

  In  this writer’s opinion, good for Governor Perry! It is nice to see a candidate who is not afraid to openly speak about his faith and how it guides him in public office. The country would be a better place if we had candidates who gave us honest answers and not what we like to hear just to pull a vote in their favor. That is a very good thing.

WHERE VOTERS STAND . If the election were here today, how would you vote? Interesting stats indeed. Looks like the religious folks have a big say in the matter! Good!

PRAY EACH DAY

‘Compassionate God, your generous presence is always attuned to hurting ones Your listening ear is bent toward the cries of the wounded. Your heart of love fills with tears for the suffering.  Turn my inward eye to see that I am not alone. I am part of all life. Each one’s joy and sorrow, and mine is theirs.  May I draw strength from this inner communion. May it daily recommit me to be a  compassionate presence for all who struggle with life pains.‘

‘OCTOBER IS REPECT LIFE MONTH.’

BY POPE JOHN II THE GOSPEL OF LIFE NO -95

‘In our present struggle between the “culture of life” and the ‘ culture of death’  there  is need to develop a deep critical sense, capable of discerning true values and authentic needs.  What is urgently called for is a general mobilization of consciences and a united ethical effort to activate a great campaign in support of life. All together, we must build a new culture of life.’

Well put by Pope John Paul. Pray that pro-life prevails and so doses the end of terrorism and unemployment plus hurt we see in the third worlds. Pray congress may address the problems with  God ’s help  and  please help us all and forgive us.
