Good luck with your efforts and even more luck on keeping it from coming back. Best advice I&#39;ve gotten has been to try to find ways to keep it away as it&#39;s being eliminated.Shawnhttp://www.bedroomclosetsystems.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760918723949930025.post-43574917479472499702009-12-29T18:52:17.316-05:002009-12-29T18:52:17.316-05:00Nicely said my blues brother, I know how you feel, I also need Christ yoke for some clutter in my life.

Though world started calling it has Hinduism recently, but it is above that. People/culture from every part of the world was always accepted here, but it was only others always tried every tricks (telling us only their religion is real)throughout the history and tried to destroy its soul.<BR/>My point is, you are welcome to spread your religion, but don't mislead innocent uneducated tribes with, "Jesus is the only God", "Only what Jesus says is truth", "To go to heaven you should only follow Jesus". <BR/><BR/>If you try you may figure out, most of the people in India would be happy to cinsider Jesus as God or Son of God and even worship him, but for narrow minded people like you, it is not enough, or it is more bad, since your religion may get absorbed by India's culture.<BR/><BR/>That is not love what you are spreading, it is hatred and thoughts that, your Idea is the only truth and everyone else are fools.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>Suryasurya.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06987825962046138356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760918723949930025.post-45679004103542992912008-11-07T15:37:00.000-05:002008-11-07T15:37:00.000-05:00Hey "anonymous"... thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'll be praying for you...whoever you are... because I'm just sensing a lot of bitterness and anger and negativity in your writing. If I had that outlook I probably wouldn't sign my name to posting like that either! That kind of vitriol is just not the heart of God. I certainly don't agree with everthing Obama has proposed, and I'm most concerned about what will happen with the seating of judges over the next four years. But God is in control my friend... and this is not the end of the world. I thought it would be when Clinton was elected and you know what? We survived. Armageddon did not happen. Such will be the case this time too! In the meantime, dude.. find your joy in Christ again! Life is too short!Pastor Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068891204377093063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760918723949930025.post-28563433428139212322008-11-07T10:50:00.000-05:002008-11-07T10:50:00.000-05:00"Healing the racial divide."<BR/><BR/>The exact opposite will occur. Racial tensions will explode. There are some blacks who are of the belief that with a black man elected, this gives them carte blanche to commit crimes and racism. This is what happened in New York when it elected its first black mayor. Racial arsonists thought they had license to commit racism and start riots. And they did, for the new black mayor did nothing to stop it.<BR/><BR/>"Whether it is deserved or not, the world response to America's choice of president has been overwhelmingly positive. America being isolated from the world community is not a positive thing."<BR/><BR/>We have never been isolated from the world community.<BR/><BR/>"the world response to America's choice of president has been overwhelmingly positive"<BR/><BR/>That's only because they now think that Obama is going to give them billions of dollars of free money. And he will. Have you seen his global tax proposal? Take from the taxpayer to give away to god knows who around the world.<BR/><BR/>"We need the support of all the nations if we are to defeat terrorism and tackle the challenges of social justice around the globe"<BR/><BR/>No, we do not need the support of ALL nations. Even IF we did, we would never get it as ther are plenty countries out there that doesnt want us to lift a finger to fight terrorism as they are friends of the terrorists and terrorist supporting countries themselves. There are many countries that weould love to see America attacked. <BR/><BR/>"With Obama comes the hope that the endless recycling of the same tired platforms and policies have come to an end, or at least have been seriously disrupted."<BR/><BR/>Most of the old policies is what worked. The Constitution is over 200 years old and that still works. <BR/><BR/>"But, hope springs eternal that we might actually see truly creative ideas coming out of an administration that Obama has promised will NOT be filled with the old retreads of the past."<BR/><BR/><BR/>Wrong. What he has proposed is old ideas, old ideas that have proven not to work. The few new ideas he has proposed, he has no intention of following through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760918723949930025.post-32572201898426892372008-10-31T09:12:00.000-04:002008-10-31T09:12:00.000-04:00Good questions! Blogging is short for "web log", which is where the concept began. Over time web blog got shortened to "blog". <BR/><BR/>Of course the OMTL campaign is not proposing that everyone only has one month to live. It is a hypothetical question designed to help us think differently about how we are living our lives. If the answer to the OMTL question is that we would do a lot of things differently, then the more challenging question is why aren't we doing those things now? The truth is that none of us are guaranteed how many days we will live, so we should live every day to the absolute fullest to the glory of God!Pastor Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05068891204377093063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760918723949930025.post-58562073834434853202008-10-30T22:57:00.000-04:002008-10-30T22:57:00.000-04:00Why do they call this blogging? <BR/>Why does everyone only have one month to live?

Well that was the question that I had to ask Steve when we first signed up. Well I decided to look it up and this is what I found. <BR/>Catalyst; n; A person or a thing that causes a important change to take place.<BR/>CATALYST was AWESOME. I was able to connect with like minded people with desires simular to mine... What disires is that??? To reach the unreached. God is so good, lets not keep it hidden. So who wants to be a Catalyst with me? BTW; once my "wonderful" husband helps me set up a web blog myself, I too will be posting wonderful ramblings, lol :)<BR/>-Alicia MaynerAliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17855872216322835604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760918723949930025.post-32267526571251875222008-10-07T16:52:00.000-04:002008-10-07T16:52:00.000-04:00You're right on target! The counselor gave you excellent advice. I got similar advice when I needed to spend some time in counseling. It really works!

I guess "blogging" will be another compartment for me. I spent time on the One Month To Live website last night in anticipation of this week's start of the Connection Group. This is going to be an AMAZING journey for all of us privileged to be involved! I had an appointment with my counselor in Annapolis yesterday due to on-going anxiety regarding spiritual and personal issues. Instead of the usual gratitude journal, she strongly suggested I journal my daily "God Sightings". You know, all the little ways He speaks to us through others, the unexpected blessings and small answers to our prayers. I dusted off my partially used CR Journal this morning and started really looking and listening for God in the midst of everyday life. <BR/><BR/>My next challenge is to follow through on more of the convictions God gives me. I will give a smile to someone who needs one, make contact with those I have ignored, witness more boldly, serve as God leads me... But for TODAY, I will choose to live "one moment at a time... as a pathway to peace...".Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09802452498926388824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760918723949930025.post-56388095288114502402008-04-29T23:08:00.000-04:002008-04-29T23:08:00.000-04:00Great Job...
