Have a Blessed Sunday: Go to Worship Service and Bring a Friend
Have a blessed Sunday, everybody! Go to a worship service, take somebody with you and reflect on what a blessing it is to wake up every morning. To paraphrase H. H. Breaker Morant: Live each day as if it's your last, 'cause one day, it will be.
14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15 Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. 17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

Making a Difference: Pay What You Can
I was really inspired today by a "Making a Difference" story NBC Nightly News ran about how an executive with the Panera Bread chain of restaurants is offering a "pay what you can" service in several of their locations (see video below). You can follow this segment on Facebook

Marquita Lister's interview is a Blessing
I recently heard a wonderful interview conducted by MetroConnection
with opera star, Marquita Lister.
(Click Here to Listen | Click Here to Read the Transcript)
Although I heard Ms. Lister via the radio, her beautiful soul
just radiated throughout. When you see the picture on her
Web site, it confirms her outer beauty as well.
http://www.marquitalister.com/Bio_English.htm
In the interview, she gave a powerful testimony of how
she is overcoming a rare disease that I am also blessed to
have, called "Polymyositis." I've written in the past how
this muscle disorder has blessed me and just listening
to Marquita, I'm sure she's already blessed others by
showing how God can work in one's life to overcome
illness.
Be sure to support this wonderful soprano. Buy
her music and donate to her the scholarship she
supports. I plan to do both:

Praise God for Health Care--Pray 1st Congress
As the bills for my recent ER and hospital stays come in the mail, I am so thankful to God for quality, affordable Health Care.
If any member of Congress wants to totally scrap the Health Care Law I suggest you pray first, then make a symbolic first step: Cancel the Govt. sponsored health care that you were provided. Then, if you have children, cancel their policy if they are under the age 27, as they are required to be covered under the current law.
I agree that the Health Care bill needs to be improved in certain areas, but throwing it out completely is not the answer. Again, pray first before you act, members of Congress.
As for the budget deficit, I agree, it's far too high. Again, Congress, take the first step, rescind the pay raise you voted for and received last year. Cut the salaries of all of your staffers as well before consulting them. (I'm being sarcastic, but please pray before you do anything Congressfolk. ) I'll certainly continue to keep you in prayer.

Voters, Please Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding
When Voting, Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding
Before you vote...
1. Pray for wisdom and understanding when voting.
2. Do your own research about issues and candidates.
3. Make decisions in consultation with God, not based on what a TV commercial, or talk show tells you
-----------------------Countdown to Election Day-------------------------
With less than 30 days left before Election Day on November 2, I think more and more about voter anger as shown on television.
When I see people express their anger about the current state of our government and the economy as a whole, I always wonder if they prayed before expressing an opinion.
We live in such a microwave society. We want change for the better quickly. We want God to solve our problems quickly. We want God to be “on-call” like an emergency room doctor, to be nearby when we need Him to save us from a crisis, but we have no relationship with Him when things are going well.
We lack patience and make decisions, often without first consulting the Lord in prayer.
When we lean on our own understanding, instead of trusting God with all our heart, we may make decisions that have long lasting, bad consequences.
Voters have a history of rushing into decisions and suffering for years afterward. For example, in the late 1970s, California voters passed a measure to cut property taxes. This property tax cut, many argue, led to budget problems and the increase of other taxes, which haunt California to this day.
TV commercials and many political talk show hosts, on cable TV and radio, craft a message to persuade you to their point of view.
Talk show hosts today often prey on our fears and anger. Why? So that they will become, or stay popular, increase their ratings, leading to more money for their network and for thus, for themselves.
We know that politicians will often say, and do anything to get our vote. They may offer things, like tax cuts, without fully explaining the long-term consequences.
Sin often operates in this fashion. Sometimes we cry out to the Lord and ask, “Why me?” when problems linger, without first asking ourselves, “Are my problems the consequences of my sins?”
You may be a follower of Christ, but if you have overdue bills because you used your credit cards for things you didn’t need, the bill collector probably will not wipe away and forget your sins as the Lord does.
Even when things happen to us financially that are beyond our control, the Lord is still there for us. He’s there to comfort and guide us during these low, tough valley experiences.
