In need of a Bailout!

Seems like all need a bailout in one way or another. It's interesting to note that the 700 Billion dollar Bailout is separate from what they have already gave out before. I wrote many things on the bailout. I mentioned that many things will happen between now and the year 2012. All of this is part of their plan for a one world government. 9/11 was the beginning even though this plan has been in motion for sometime.

Fidel Castro suggested Sunday that the U.S. government has promoted Americans' fears about al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups to justify its plans for world domination.
Castro has previously accused the U.S. government of misleading the public about the Sept. 11 attacks, and his close friend and ally Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says it is plausible that Washington was somehow involved in planning the attacks.

The world has indeed changed since 9/11. Its interesting because many will look at this as if it's just another bad economy and that it's happened before. Think about all that I have posted.

1. Economy
2. Vaccinations
3. Water
4. Chemtrails
5. One World Government.

Speaking of water. What comes to mind when you think of arsenic? For most people, it conjures up a deadly poison used by killers in fictional mystery novels and some real-life murderers, too. But the danger of this toxic substance most often comes not from some evil-doer but simply from exposure to it through our environment, including the water we drink. Unwittingly taken into the body over many years, arsenic can result in lung, bladder and skin cancers, as well as heart disease, diabetes and neurological damage.

In the U.S., many locations are known to have groundwater containing arsenic concentrations in excess of the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard of 10 parts per billion. But now comes research that suggests the EPA’s supposedly “safe” level of arsemic allowed in water supplies for public consumption isn’t safe at all. In fact, water laced with the federally-approved amount of arsenic could be causing high blood pressure and artery-clogging arhterosclerosis.

According to animal research by University of Pittsburgh scientists set to be published in the December issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, and available online now at http://www.jci.org/articles/view/35092, arsenic at EPA-approved levels for drinking water causes pores in liver blood vessels to close, potentially leading to cardiovascular disease and hypertension. This study calls into question whether present Environmental Protection Agency standards (currently based only on the risks of arsenic causing cancer) are stringent enough.

Isn't that interesting? Vaccinations, well I mentioned it time and time again. You get more information on what's in the food you buy at Safeway than you do in any vaccination given to you. All I ask is that they list what's in it and then you decide if you want it or not. This is what will happen. An outbreak will take place. They will tell everyone that they need to get vaccinated to protect themselves. They get the shot and all goes away but does it? No because that shot you just lost 10 years if not more on your life because of that shot! Can happen...Has happened....

Chemtrails: The fact that congress discussed it makes it real. It does happen and is happening now.

It indeed is a scary time to live. I know with this topic I'm all over the place but I have tons on my mind. Be safe...

Here Chip me!!!

I was reading this article that talked about inserting a microchip into Aids patients. Here is the article: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/11/24/asia/AS-Indonesia-AIDS-Tagging.php.

What I found interesting about the article is the fact that here in the United States they have the same plan for our future. The Government wants to chip each and every American. When they found out that it could cause tumors, back to the drawing board I call it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20643620/

There are some good idea's about chipping but there are also bad ideas as well. An example of a good idea is what's mentioned in the above link which talks about someone with a medical condition who cannot speak. If scanned they may save his life because his medical information is stored on this chip. Sometimes a few seconds can save your life.

Another reason to be chipped would be to find your children. Let's say someone takes your child. The police can track your child and find him or her before anything happens or at least find your child if something does happen.

So medical, financial, tracking, and all other information about you will be in this chip and please don't sit there and tell me that the FDA approved it which I know they did and I can care less if they did. FDA approves many things that are bad for people.

It's already been proven that the chip can be hacked but yet they say it's safe. Folks it's not safe. What do you think? Would you want to be chipped?

In case you didn't know.

What do rat poison and the HPV vaccine have in common? The answer is a hazardous chemical known as sodium borate. Savvy readers may wonder what a toxin that is commonly used to kill rats is doing in the ingredient list for the HPV vaccine that is currently being pushed on girls as young as nine and is even being considered for men and boys. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t very comforting, especially for new U.S. residents for whom the HPV injection containing sodium borate is now mandated.

What is Sodium Borate?

Sodium borate, a boric acid salt also known as borax, has many common uses. In addition to its use as a rat poison, it is also used in laundry detergents, cosmetics, enamel glazes, flame retardants, and buffer solutions in chemistry. However, sodium borate also has antifungal properties, which means that its probable reason for being in the vaccine is to act as a preservative.

Sodium Borate Banned as Food Additive

Sodium borate is used as a food additive in some countries, but it is now outlawed in many places. For example, one Australian government recall site notes: “Product is Borax (sodium borate) which is a non permitted food additive and is harmful to health.” So, if it’s “harmful to health,” why is it being added to the HPV vaccine?

No Longer Used in Medical Preparations

The U.S. National Library of Medicine states in an article that boric acid is “no longer commonly used in medical preparations.” It’s a good thing, too, considering that the U.S. National Library of Medicine also reports that this substance used to be used to disinfect and treat wounds and that individuals “who received such treatment over and over again got sick, and some died.” In fact, the U.S. National Library of Medicine provides the number for Poison Control for people exposed to this chemical and notes that treatment for those exposed to it may include gastric lavage (stomach pumping), dialysis, and liquids by mouth or IV.

Sodium Borate Poisoning Symptoms Mimic Reactions to HPV Vaccine

Sadly, the information about sodium borate gets even scarier. Another government website article states that exposure to sodium borate can cause convulsions and other ill health effects. Interestingly enough, young girls who receive the HPV vaccine have reported similar symptoms to those that appear in cases of sodium borate poisoning. This particular government site provides the following warning regarding this chemical: “WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED, INHALED OR ABSORBED THROUGH SKIN. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.” Given this information, is sodium borate really something that should be injected into humans? This is something the reader should carefully consider, along with the previously reported information, before choosing to receive the controversial HPV vaccine.

I know a few who have received the HPV vaccine and have had side effects. This past week the Wall Street Journal ran an article on a man getting Alzheimer’s in his 40s, one of 500,000 Americans with early onset. The notion that this problem is striking ever earlier sent shock waves through the country and left people wondering why this is happening.

There are many inflammatory factors in a person’s life and gene-related weaknesses are involved. However, theoretical data on the inflammatory nature of vaccines, especially in the large numbers given to children at an early age while their nerves are developing response patterns for future life, means that they cannot be ruled out as one main factor that primes the Alzheimer’s pump.

On the other hand the Canadian researchers found in another article I read that the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, wine consumption, coffee consumption, and regular physical activity were associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease. There are many great anti-inflammatory nutrients that readily replace the concept of drug use, including the grape seed extracts of red wine (which have been shown to reduce Alzheimer’s plaque formation).

Natural vitamin E at the dose of 2000 IU per day has been shown to extend the life of Alzheimer’s patients by two years. DHA and folic acid have been shown to be protective against Alzheimer’s. Moderate coffee intake has a brain-activating effect, which would be synergistic with learning or other forms of constructive brain exercise that help keep your brain cells fit. Physical exercise is proven to elevate levels of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) vital for your brain to withstand stress and inflammation and keep your brain cells living longer in a healthier condition. The common theme is that using your brain constructively helps keep it fit and factors that induce brain inflammation, of which there are many, send you in the wrong direction.

Besides the above, obvious factors that cause brain inflammation include a lack of sleep, emotional stress, physical exhaustion, cell phone use, and a poor quality diet. This means that there will never be a specific cause of Alzheimer’s identified, other than the idea that too much inflammation combined with genetic weaknesses will lead to the problem. Too much inflammation is the common theme behind all nerve-related diseases, heart disease, and cancer. Thus, the manifestation of various shades of cognitive decline will be common in the overall population and progression into full Alzheimer’s, compared to some other serious problem, will depend on genetic weak spots.

For example, healthy children of Alzheimer’s patients have adverse changes in their brain structure before any symptoms appear. The greater the amount of inflammation, combined with an individual’s ability to tolerate inflammation, will determine the age of onset.

Recently researchers did autopsies on the brains of individuals who maintained sharp memory into their 80s. Those with sharp memory compared to the brains of those with “normal aging” had far less brain tangles. Thus we see a sliding scale of tangles, going from virtually none in true health, to the common averages of “normal aging,” down into the diseased ranges of cognitive decline, and eventually into Alzheimer’s. With this understanding, “normal aging” can be seen as abnormal from an optimal health point of view. Such brain tangles are driven by inflammatory processes.

The adjuvants used in vaccines (putting the mercury issue aside) are intentionally highly inflammatory so as to provoke a more active immune response to the weakened pathogen. The fact that American children are the most vaccinated in the world at such an early age, when their brains are setting up shop, runs the high risk that vaccinations will “train” nerves to become more hyper-active to future inflammatory stress of any kind.

Such issues would be magnified if a child had a history of stress in the womb, stress as an infant (unstable environment), poor nutrition in the womb or early life, other health problems as an infant, or has family-related gene weaknesses predisposing to Alzheimer’s (or any other nerve-related disease for that matter). These massive numbers of early vaccinations could easily set the stage for early onset Alzheimer’s. At this point there is absolutely no science that refutes this theory, and plenty of science to predict it.

Our government, bless their little hearts, has no interest in proving this not to be the case or in figuring out a safety threshold for the number of vaccines or the age they are given. Rather, they operate on the assumption that any number of vaccines is harmless. This public health mentality of “fire a shot gun and ask questions later” (or never ask any questions at all) is good for herd mentality and not so good for personalized wellness and quality of life.

Any notion that the treatment is problematic, such as a contributor to autism, is met with flat out denial. It does not matter to them what data is presented or what new science obviously predicts. Our government’s illness is their bizarre concept of control at all costs by unelected bureaucrats, risks be dammed. The bottom line, our government doesn’t actually care what adverse effects vaccinations may cause to your child, they are treating a herd.

Thus, the question of the immunization link to Alzheimer’s is an open-ended and controversial issue. A responsible government would have demanded animal studies with different levels of immunizations at different ages in relation to the onset of Alzheimer’s. These studies aren’t being conducted because OUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER.
Stopping Problems Early
Regardless of factors that set the stage for Alzheimer’s it is quite clear that an overall strategy that balances your inflammation checkbook is central to preventing the problem. On one side of the equation is the wear and tear in your life. On the other side are the healthy things you do to rejuvenate and recover. No matter what you believe in, you’d better figure out a way to balance this checkbook.

We definitely know that it takes many years of wear and tear for full blown Alzheimer’s to manifest. It is vital to act aggressively to prevent the problem if you are sliding down the Alzheimer’s slope. Managing inflammatory stressors is at the top of your list. It is easiest to make changes in your brain before the problem gets large. Various memory glitches are normal and others are not. The Alzheimer’s Association does have a list of the ten warning signs that is helpful:

1. Memory loss. Forgetting recently learned information is one of the most common early signs of dementia. A person begins to forget more often and is unable to recall the information later. What’s normal? Forgetting names or appointments occasionally.

2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks. People with dementia often find it hard to plan or complete everyday tasks. Individuals may lose track of the steps involved in preparing a meal, placing a telephone call or playing a game. What’s normal? Occasionally forgetting why you came into a room or what you planned to say.

3. Problems with language. People with Alzheimer’s disease often forget simple words or substitute unusual words, making their speech or writing hard to understand. They may be unable to find the toothbrush, for example, and instead ask for “that thing for my mouth.” What’s normal? Sometimes having trouble finding the right word.

4. Disorientation to time and place. People with Alzheimer’s disease can become lost in their own neighborhood, forget where they are and how they got there, and not know how to get back home. What’s normal? Forgetting the day of the week or where you were going.

5. Poor or decreased judgment. Those with Alzheimer’s may dress inappropriately, wearing several layers on a warm day or little clothing in the cold. They may show poor judgment, like giving away large sums of money to telemarketers. What’s normal? Making a questionable or debatable decision from time to time.

6. Problems with abstract thinking. Someone with Alzheimer’s disease may have unusual difficulty performing complex mental tasks, like forgetting what numbers are for and how they should be used. What’s normal? Finding it challenging to balance a checkbook.

7. Misplacing things. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may put things in unusual places: an iron in the freezer or a wristwatch in the sugar bowl. What’s normal? Misplacing keys or a wallet temporarily.

8. Changes in mood or behavior. Someone with Alzheimer’s disease may show rapid mood swings – from calm to tears to anger – for no apparent reason. What’s normal? Occasionally feeling sad or moody.

9. Changes in personality. The personalities of people with dementia can change dramatically. They may become extremely confused, suspicious, fearful or dependent on a family member. What’s normal? People’s personalities do change somewhat with age.

10. Loss of initiative. A person with Alzheimer’s disease may become very passive, sitting in front of the TV for hours, sleeping more than usual or not wanting to do usual activities. What’s normal? Sometimes feeling weary of work or social obligations.

Since Alzheimer's runs in my family it's good to know that there is a possibility that maybe it doesn't run in my family but that they caused it to run in my family. Think about that for a second the next time you get a shot.....

Amazing...

In 2006, attorney Rob V. Robertson drafted a “Children’s Bill of Rights” for the Travis County Domestic Relations Office, in Austin, Texas. Ostensibly designed to protect the children of divorced parents, the Children’s Bill of Rights is a prime example of government micromanagement of the affairs of parents.

“Marriage is a contract between adults, and when it ends, the matter is between the adults also,” writes Robertson. “Yet no parental action has a greater impact on children. Children love their parents and want to be with them. Even in times of great stress, parents have a responsibility to conduct their legal affairs in a manner that will protect their children from adult conflicts.”

However, the bill transcends the realm of legal affairs and mandates how adults will conduct themselves in relation to their own children, including the displaying photographs, making phone calls, and sending and receiving correspondence and greeting cards.

Bureaucrats in Travis County have forcibly inserted the state into all manner of private minutiae, once the province of families but now apparently the business of government. The list is exhaustive:

1. Neither parent shall deny the child reasonable use of the telephone to place and receive calls with the other parent and relatives.

2. Neither parent shall speak or write derogatory remarks about the other parent to the child, or engage in abusive, coarse or foul language, which can be overheard by the child whether or not the language involves the other parent.

3. Neither parent shall permit the children to overhear arguments, negotiations or other substantive discussions about legal or business dealings between the parents.

4. Neither parent shall physically or psychologically attempt to pressure, attempt to influence, pressure or influence the children concerning the personal opinion or position of the child concerning legal proceedings between the parents.

5. Each parent will permit the child to display photographs of the other parent or both parents in the child’s room.

6. Neither parent shall communicate moral judgments about the other parent to the child concerning the other parent’s choice of values, lifestyle, choice of friends, successes or failures in life (career, financial, relational) or residential choice.

7. The parents will acknowledge to the child that the child has two homes although the child may spend more time at one home than the other.

8. The parents shall cooperate to the greatest extent practicable in sharing time with the child.

9. Each parent will permit the child to retain, and allow easy access to, correspondence, greeting cards, and other written materials received from the other parent.

10. Each parent will respect the physical integrity of items possessed by the child which depict the other parent or remind the child of the other parent.

11. Neither parent will trivialize, or deny the existence of the other parent to the child.

12. Neither parent will interrogate the child about the other parent nor will either parent discourage comments by the child about the other parent.

13. Neither parent will intercept, “lose”, derail, “forget” or otherwise interfere with communications to the child from the other parent.

14. Neither parent will refuse to acknowledge that the child can have or should have good experiences with the other parent.

15. Neither parent will directly or indirectly attack or criticize to the child the extended family of the other parent, the other parent’s career, the living and travel arrangements of the other parent, or lawful activities of the other parent or associates of the other parent.

16. Neither parent will use the child as a “middleman” by using the child to communicate with the other parent on inappropriate topics.

17. Neither parent will undermine the other parent in the eyes of the child by engaging in the “circumstantial syndrome” which is done by manipulating, changing, or rearranging facts.

18. Neither parent will create for, or exaggerate to, the child differences between the parents.

19. Neither parent will say and do things with an eye to gaining the child as an “ally” against the other parent.

20. Neither parent will encourage or instruct the child to be disobedient to the other parent, stepparents, or relatives.

21. Neither parent will reward the child to act negatively toward the other parent.

22. Neither parent will try to make the child believe he or she loves the child more than the other parent, by, for example, saying that he or she loves the child more than the other parent or over-informing the child on adult topics or overindulging the child.

23. Neither parent will discuss child support issues with the child.

24. Neither parent will engage in judgmental, opinionated or negative commentary, physical inspections or interrogations once the child arrives from his/her other home.

25. Neither parent will “rewrite” or “re-script” facts which the child originally knows to be different.

26. Neither parent will punish the child physically or threaten such punishment in order to influence the child to adopt the parent’s negative program, if any, against the other parent.

27. Neither parent will permit the child to be transported by a person who is intoxicated due to consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs.

28. Neither parent will smoke tobacco materials inside structures or vehicles occupied at the time by the child.

29. Each parent will permit the child to carry gifts, toys, clothing, and other items belonging to the child with him or her to the residence of the other parent or relatives or permit the child to take gifts, toys, clothing, and other items belonging to the child back to the residence of the other parent, as the case may be, to facilitate the child having with him or her objects, important to the child. The gifts, toys, clothing and other items belonging to the child referred to here mean items which are reasonable transportable and does not include pets (which the parents agree are impractical to move about).

Once upon a time, the state limited its involvement in the affairs of parents, divorced or otherwise, in cases of physical abuse. Now the state and meddling government bureaucrats are in the business of dictating subjective behavior and deciding what opinions are acceptable. Minor infractions are used to take children from their parents and force them into the abusive “Child Protective” system.

How long before the state and “social workers” are dictating and monitoring the daily behavior of all parents? Across the country, children are locked down in government schools, forced to take deadly vaccinations under color of law.

Great speakers

Last night after attending our meeting I recalled a talk that I gave in front of about 80 or so brothers and sisters. What I recalled was how I gave the talk and how others give their talks. The training I call it to become a great speaker. I thought of those who inspired me. Although some may find it offensive you must admit these are indeed great speakers.



Here is another one that I often enjoyed listening to



Here is another one that I often enjoyed listening to.



Please note that I don't share his views on how he feels but you must admit just hearing him makes you want to hear more. Notice his speech, notice how he gives he speech, and notice how much emotion he puts into his speeches. That's what I mean. Martin Luther King's I dream speech was a great speech. I love it. When I give my talks, I often try to give as much emotion that I can do without over doing it.

I remember giving a talk on counsel or the proper view of it. Till this very day people still talk about that talk. I tell them thank you but the feeling I get inside is joy because I helped encourage another brother or sister to fight another day in this wicked system of things. It's hard to stay moral or have any when there is so much wickedness to turn to.

It's funny because just the other day at work they were talking about other celebrity woman and asked who I would sleep with if I had the chance. I told them that I don't look at any other woman in that fashion. I love my wife very much. For some odd reason they couldn't understand that. You have understand what Jesus said. Jesus said that everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

I love my wife very much and to think of any other would be very dis-respectful of her and my marriage. Call me old fashion but remember Jesus's words next time you go to a strip club. If Jesus wouldn't go with you to a strip club why should you go? Common sense folks. Anyway have a great day.

Word

Several questions thrown my way. Sorry for the delay in answering them. I will try and answer most covering various topics. The first question asked was

Q. Why do I think that 9/11 was an inside job.

A. Well, if you haven't checked any of my posts on why then I suggest that you do. I also suggest that you just google search 9/11. There is always new information coming out about it. Keep an open mind when researching 9/11.

Q. Along time ago you talked about your son and a girl. What happened to that relationship.

A. Well they both had different priorities in life. Jesse wanted to devote his entire time serving God and his friendship with her was hurting him spiritually. He does care deeply about her but wanted to make sure his relationship with God was first.

Q. You say that Jesus is God's son but if you look at John 1:1 it states that he is God?

A. I have tried to explain this scripture many times. It's hard for some to believe that Jesus is the Son of God and not God himself. Keep this in mind. Jesus himself said he was created. The scriptures tell us that Jesus had a beginning thus being created. Someone had to create Jesus? The scriptures also tell us that God has always been. That alone should tell you that they are different. Father and Son.

Q. You say that you gave up many games, can you tell me what games you play now and what games you gave up?

A. I play wow, rockband, baskball on xbox. I used to play Urban Terror, Call of Duty, Quake series, Battlefield series. I gave those all up.

Q. What do you expect of people since you talk so much about your God?

A. I expect people to be themselves without closing the door or window to what might be truth. When I mentioned that I lived in the world that means that at a time I did study other religions before becoming a witness. I didn't have to do that but I did and each and every time someone comes along and tries to show me what they believe I just don't agree with them but I expect them to be respectful, all of us should be that way. If someone talks about going to Heaven, well I don't believe that we do and that scratches many religions of my belief meter. When they say we die and go to hell, I scratch them off my belief meter. It's ok to quote scripture and many do it but to understand what it means is an entire different thing. Even Jesus had to show many who read scriptures often that they didn't have a clear understanding.

Q. Did you know that the leader of the Watchtower was a freemason

A. I didn't answer this the last time it was asked so sorry I just forgot. Many ask about Charles Taze Russell. Many have tried to say that he was a freemason after his death. They even tried to say even back then that witnesses were a cult. Kinda like those who say Obama is a terrorist and never even met the man. But for Charles many of these things were said after his death. Freemasons, for their part, have stated that Russell was not a Freemason. They stated this not Witnesses and yes I know there are sites out there always trying to connect the two but there are also sites showing that even the Pope himself worships Satan. History is nothing more than His Story...

Q. You mentioned Halloween and I understand what you meant by not celebrating it, what about other holidays such as thanksgiving and Christmas?

A. Well I spoke of Halloween simply because I find it offensive to God. No different than if several guys put on white sheets and go to a black hood. Note I used to live in the hood and my mother lives there now thus the reference to hood. I find it offensive. As for thanksgiving. While admitting that the present celebration has some connection with the Pilgrims, where did these get the idea of a thanksgiving festival? Historians note that ‘harvest festivals’ were among the oldest known holidays. And there were several different harvest celebrations in existence at the time of the Pilgrims.

Of special interest is the fact that the Pilgrims did not flee directly from England to North America. They first fled to Holland. Although religiously free there, they were disappointed with the industrial way of life, the “new” language and their economic circumstances. So from Holland they sailed on The Mayflower to the “New World.” But, argue some, the time in Holland would have brought them in touch with European harvest festivals.

Special celebrations over good harvests had occurred in several of the early American colonies. Hence, the 1621 celebration was not unprecedented.

Eventually this holiday was observed annually in the New England area. However, it was not until 1789 that the first national Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed by George Washington. And, even after that precedent, this practice was not carried on by succeeding presidents. It is claimed that Thomas Jefferson condemned it during his two terms. Finally, as already noted, in 1863 Abraham Lincoln established a yearly national festival, which ensuing presidents have honored.

Why did some people oppose the idea? For one thing, many governors felt that it was an example of state interference with religion. Actually, in time the celebration itself became more political.

Not to mention what happened to the Indians after the meal. There is nothing really to celebrate since many men, woman, and children died.

Christmas well, I'll have to answer that one later but Jesus was not and I repeat not born on that date. I'll talk about that tomorrow. I want to thank you all for your questions, I know I didn't get to all of them. I do have them on a list and will answer them maybe every Friday or sometime during the week. Thank you.

Word up

I was thinking about this over the weekend because of what was mentioned to me a week ago. That is video game addiction. For some it can be just like a person who is addicted to drugs. You may deny it but it's real. I have read and written about video game addiction. I have known personally those who were addicted to video games.

Back in the day - Pac-Man, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Battlezone and Donkey Kong, video games have landed themselves not only in amusement arcades but also in corner drugstores, supermarkets, gas stations, fast-food parlors and nearly everywhere else that people congregate. This was before they entered into your home.

I remember stealing money from my mother just to play Donkey Kong jr. Pacman and games like it are in a different league compared to games today. Take for example Grand Theft Auto. The object of the game is to advance in a criminal organization by taking part in various crimes, such as prostitution and murder. Each of your actions has consequences. If you kill pedestrians in your stolen car, police officers chase you.

If you shoot one of them, the FBI gets involved. Kill an FBI agent, and the military seek to destroy you. Although the game is intended for those 17 and older, stores have been known to sell the game to younger children. Even 12-year-olds are expressing interest in playing. Reason I picked this game is because of what was said yesterday. Gabriel who is 5 years old, my son of course received a letter from another 5 year old in his class. After asking Gabriel in his letter a series of questions, one of the questions asked " What was your favorite video game ". His answer to his favorite game was " Grand Theft Auto 3 " I then said to myself, Wow this kid is 5 years old and his parents allow him to play this game?

At any age is this kind of game or games like it healthy for you? Spiritually speaking it's not. I often mentioned having a balance in life along with what entertains you. If you do play games make sure you do not neglect every other part of your life. For example, if you have a wife - you know that your wife has needs. Make sure those needs are met. If you have children, make sure you are playing with your kids. Last thing you want is your wife to leave you and your kids not knowing who their father was.

Is it real? Yes it is. One of the most popular games right now is World of Warcraft and since they just released WOTLK everyone is in a hurry to get to 80. Spend hours and hours and hours neglecting everything else in their life just to get to 80? It doesn't stop there. Now comes gearing up! Requires even more time. How are you going to do it? If you are to play games, you need to balance it out. If you have an addictive nature then maybe you shouldn't be playing at all.

Another popular game that was recently released was Call of Duty 5. I was a big fan of Call of Duty 4 and did play it for sometime before I deleted it and games like it. The scriptures don't spell everything out for us but there are guidelines we can follow of what to play and what not to play. For example you will not find a scripture that says not to smoke but there are guidelines and thus with games its the same thing. Use caution on what you do with your time. Before you know it, your kids are young men and women. Before you know it, your wife has left you or your husband has left you. Before you know it you are alone..................Till tomorrow....

Word up!!

Let me add because I was asked. This has nothing to do with me. Just pointing out the obvious. My family are very happy. Our relationship is great. I couldn't ask for a better wife and couldn't ask for better children. We are in the process of getting Jesse his first car!!
