I was recently sent a nice e-mail, encouraging me in my "growth as a Leader" (sent by a fellow Shorecrest High grad, class of '91). This successful businessman (real estate) told me that "in order to climb the ladder of success, that we can't have our hands in our pockets!" (paraphrase)
How true this is!
Often life will send set-backs.
Mortgage foreclosures. Sickness. Job insecurity.
You name it and 2008 is a pretty awful year for the U.S.A.
But, however tempting it might be to blame Bush, blame Cheney (although I like blaming Cheney! :-), it is still the lot in life that we receive by Divine Providence, and as a "test of faith!"
Joseph, the early Hebrew patriarch was betrayed by his very own brothers (thrown in a well; sold into slavery in Egypt!).
Joseph could have cried "woa is me!" Joseph could have "kept his hands in his pockets . . ."
INSTEAD, however, Joseph just kept being faithful to God. God directed his path, and lo and behold, at the end of Joseph's life he became the second most-powerful political leader (next to Pharaoh!) in the Ancient World!!
So, when life throws us lemons, MAKE LEMONADE!
God will test us, but in the end, we shall be refined as silver or gold tested in the flames of Christ's holiness!
Blessings in Jesus' Name,

Defending the "Culture of Life . . ."
AN OPEN-LETTER TO PRESIDENT-ELECT, BARACK OBAMA!
I just read today how you, Barack Obama, want to overturn 200 Executive Orders by George W. Bush! Included in these orders are National Security measures designed to protect the lives of the innocent--i.e. orders designed to limit abortion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_development); orders to keep babies from being harvested for their organs, etc.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???
As a Father of two children, why would you support the old, old Democratic Party's position of the 1970's - 1990's that promotes "death-on-demand?" Why do some of your fellow Democrats enjoy killing the defenseless?
This is completely INSANE!
Even the pre-Christian grandfather of Western Medical Theory, Hippocrates, outlawed abortion as something that physicians simply should never do! Hippocratic Ethics means that the physician seeks to safeguard LIFE! Now, in 1973 - 2008 in the U.S., even the pre-Christian Greek Pagans were MUCH MORE ETHICAL than the majority of the U.S. that supported you, Barack Obama and your anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-LIFE policies!!
Why not 'fix the economy' rather than neutering men and spading women of their TRUE reproductive rights? Why not focus on ending bloodshed in the Middle East rather than promoting it in the wombs of American women and in the sinister petri-dishes of the "mad scientists" who wrongly insist that babies must be murdered (cattle style!) in order to produce the most succulent stem-cells? (i.e. stem-cells that can be equally obtained from umbilical cord blood!)
Why are you set on death? Death of the innocent, death of the defenseless?
Well, my friend, unless you repent, truly turn your life over to Jesus Christ in a REAL-church (not that excuse for a dying, pro-death denomination called the U.C.C.!), then you my dear friend, Mr. Obama will have the blood of millions of innocent children on your hands!
Sincerely in Christ Jesus,
