  1. Good morning and happy Wednesday, everyone! I have good news and bad news today. The bad news first - no HCL, no RV. Sorry. The good news is something I encourage everyone to verify for themselves... simply click the "What's New" tab and scan through the recent articles. Look for the headlines on ISIS and turmoil in Iraq. You aren't seeing many, are you? That's right! Because things are actually going VERY well over there right now, and this is exactly the situation we want to be in before the HCL is passed and they can successfully make a big change to the value of their currency. Although I am cautiously optimistic, this looks to me like the "quiet before the storm". Let's go, Iraq! Time to get this show on the road! Before I get to the Weekly Q's, let's talk about a recent event that you probably saw on the news - Tropical Storm Erika. Those of you in my VIP group know that I spend a lot of time working with people in various 3rd world countries (mostly for banking and dual citizenship reasons). Most people can't begin to fathom what "3rd World" actually means until you go there and walk the streets... and I'm not talking the streets that they keep nice for tourists. I'm talking about 6-20 blocks off the tourist area, where they actually live. Take the Dominican Republic, for example. If you've been to Punta Cana, you might think you've seen the "Dominican Republic" - sorry, but no. Punta Cana is a beautiful place where the impoverished live like kings compared to what you will find in Santo Domingo, the capital city. Here's a picture of the only beach in Santo Domingo: If you were to brave the steep cliff to get down to it, you'd be lucky to find a spot to put a single beach chair amongst all the trash that is washed up, and by the time you left you would need a shower and you might want to burn the clothes you were wearing! That's just the surface of what I'd like to share, I could go on for hours and days about the things I've seen. I've actually had tears in my eyes on occasion, and as a business person it's damn near impossible to get to my heartstrings. One thing I've started doing is take an extra suitcase on every trip to one of these countries. I go through the house, and so does my family, and we gather all the clothes we haven't worn. We find useful household items that we no longer use or think could benefit someone else. I check that bag, and then lug it to a church when I get there. I'd like to encourage everyone to do the same when you take the time to go to any of these places. Back to TS Erika... there is a small island called Dominica (pronounced "Dom-in-eek-uh") that was hit hard - REALLY hard. (Click the picture for more details.) The destruction has killed at least 25 people and set their economy back 20 years... and their economy wasn't the best to begin with. I actually had a trip planned to Dominica this week, and when I heard about this tragedy I planned on keeping my travel plans, because I'm sure they could use volunteers down there in person. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. You can't even fly into the country right now, because their airstrip is covered in mud. All supplies have to come over on a ferry at this time. Fuel is being limited to emergency vehicles - if you have a job to go to, you're walking. And it's going to be a very long time before things go back to normal. I've been researching over the last few days and I've learned a few things that are important for those of us that want to help out. 1. Sending physical items may not be ideal for them, because it's more efficient for them to buy from one vendor and get a larger more organized shipment rather than pick through smaller boxes of donations. With that said, I haven't found a specific organization that is dedicated to focusing on Dominica. I don't like putting my money into a pot where it may or may not specifically benefit the cause I am seeking to help, but that shouldn't completely prevent me from making an effort... so I donated a small amount here: http://www.foodforthepoor.org/our-work/where-we-serve/dominica.html 2. After speaking to many Churches and other organizations in Dominica, I believe the Bishop of Roseau is doing a good job of getting organized and they explained that they are working on a way to accept cash and how they will use it, but as of right now they are asking for food donations. I've decided to put a larger amount of money into sending physical goods. As soon as I can get out of the office today, I'm going to go buy a box of the following: - Dry Goods - Flour - Oil - Canned items (tuna, beans, etc) And I will ship it to: Bishop of Roseau Turkey Lane, Roseau Commonwealth of Dominica Edit: Well... I've made less progress than I expected. I went to Walmart and bought 111 lbs of the above items... took it to Fedex, packaged it up, and the price was: 2 Day Shipping: $858 5 Day Shipping: $550 It doesn't make sense to spend $1000 to provide $120 worth of food. Bummer... so I also checked USPS and they aren't much cheaper. My next idea was Amazon, but Amazon doesn't ship flour to Dominica (and I can't find an answer on why not, so I'm still looking...). I'll keep looking for a solution to help them. Anyone have any ideas? Now onto the Weekly Q's! I'm not going to over-complicate it at this time. "General progress" is the 2nd most important thing after the HCL. Regarding the budget, nope. The budget is a moving target that will change drastically once they RV, so I have never put much emphasis on the budget. You asked to ask another question, but you ended up asking three! 1. YES 2. YES 3. I expanded on that last week - in my opinion, it doesn't matter. Check last week's update for a detailed explanation of my opinion on USD vs IQD in this situation. If I'm thinking of the same thing you are, Abadi didn't actually plan on "re-filling" those positions - they were simply being eliminated. I like that plan, because too many monkeys on the same tree is just as bad as too many chefs in the same kitchen. What I said sometime ago about the GOI being important was that we needed a significant change and improvement in the GOI, and I believe that requirement has been "filled" to a very reasonably satisfactory level. It means nothing until they decide to use it for something. Also, I'm not sure what source gave the rating, so it's hard for me to make a conclusive statement on it. If the rating was officially approved by the IMF, that's a big deal! But if it was an Iraqi organization that made the statement, that's less impressive. I'm fine with all transactions going digital, because my bitcoin will skyrocket! But that kind of situation becoming a reality is further away than an RV, so I don't think this agenda is delaying the RV. The only thing that has delayed the RV in the past has been Iraq's need to be in complete control and reasonably stable. I think we've met those necessities, so I'm just going to give them the green light. Go ahead, Iraq! You've earned it! (Maybe they are listening, who knows ) That is a great suggestion, thank you for pointing it out! Here's a quick and dirty recap: 1. The GOI can't force the CBI to honor a higher rate. It simply wouldn't work. 2. Equally important - the CBI doesn't need the support of the GOI to successfully raise the value of the dinar, but they also don't want opposition from the GOI. With those things in mind, we can know that the CBI makes the final call, but both entities will work together to ensure the success. ================================================== That's it for now, friends! Please consider helping the good people down in Dominica if you have the ability.

  4. My Wife's Plea to Christian Men August 31, 2015 Over the weekend I could see that Aileen had something on her mind. We spoke and she told me about reading the news, about seeing more Christian men fall into scandal, and, in the face of it all, her confusion, her despair, the crumbling of her hope. I asked if she would write about it. Here is what she said. How long ago was it now? Was it ten years? Twelve? How long has it been since I faced it for the first time? It was a whispered rumor here, a shaded suggestion there. Then it was the devastated wife weeping in my basement as I tried desperately to draw on some wisdom, some biblical truth, that would help her. Little did I know, all those years ago, that this was simply the tip of the iceberg. But I had hope. Six years ago, Tim wrote Sexual Detox, and I followed up with False Messages. The number of letters we received shocked us—heart-breaking, soul-crushing emails from guilty men and women married to unfaithful husbands. I wrestled and fought to understand it all from a biblical perspective. Why do so many men, and even so many Christian men, have such weakness when it comes to sexual sin? But even then I still had hope, hope in the truth of the gospel, hope in the power of the Holy Spirit. In the years since, I have listened to more stories of more Christian men falling, wept with more women, and prayed a whole lot. I have tried to explain to women how their husbands think about sex: Your husband doesn’t just want it, he wants you. I’ve tried to tell them that sex is a good gift that God gives as a means of grace in marriage, a means of bonding a husband and wife together. I have counseled single young women to pursue purity. I have been teaching all the right stuff. And I have believed it all. I had hope. Then came Ashley Madison and the suggestion that hundreds of pastors would have to resign after being caught with accounts on this website that glorifies adultery. And it’s not just pastors—hundreds of other Christian men, both single and married, have been caught up in the scandal. Now there are more broken homes, more devastated churches, more weeping wives, more mocking of God. And I have to tell you, this week, today, I am struggling to find hope. I have fought to understand the struggle men face. I have fought to have compassion. I have encouraged wives to extend forgiveness, to willingly and joyfully give themselves to their husbands. But you know what? I just don’t know how I can keep doing it. Not when so many husbands are deceptively defiling the marriage bed. Not when so many young, single men are recklessly defiling the future marriage bed. Not when so many men seem just plain unwilling to change. Is it really that difficult? You would almost think that this one sin is beyond the power of the Holy Spirit. Men, you are supposed to be modeling holiness before the world (Titus 2:6-8). You are supposed to be cherishing your wives as Christ cherishes his church (Ephesians 5:25). You are supposed to be abstaining from all sexual immorality (1 Thessalonians 4:3). You are supposed to be fleeing youthful passions (2 Timothy 2:22). Why are so many of you failing at these basic tasks? Is it really that difficult? You would almost think that this one sin is beyond the power of the Holy Spirit. You who keep choosing to sin, you who keep visiting those websites, you who have secret lives you keep hidden from your friends and your wives: Why won’t you stop? You know that God loves to give victory over every sin. You know that God calls you to pursue sanctification. You know that the Holy Spirit equips you to succeed. God has given you everything you need in the gospel. So why do you keep failing? The only conclusion I can come to is that you are so consumed with self-gratification that you are not willing to fight, and I mean really willing to fight, this sin. If it’s not that you can’t, it must be that you won’t. I plead with you. I plead with you on behalf of your wives, on behalf of your future wives, on behalf of Christian women everywhere: Stop. Just stop. Stop believing that this is a special sin that women just can’t understand—we do understand sin. This isn’t a special sin, it is just sin: God-belittling, Christ-mocking, Spirit-despising sin. Stop pretending like there are no future consequences to your actions. Stop putting your selfish desires first. Stop engaging in activities that bring shame on the gospel. Stop doing things that leave us picking up the pieces of your devastated wife. Stop indulging in your sin, and start thinking and acting like a God-honoring, Christ-praising, Spirit-glorifying man. For the love of God and his church, stop.

  6. Senior Texting‏ An older couple had just learned how to send text messages on their mobile phones. The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy. One afternoon, the wife went out to meet a friend for coffee. She decided to send her husband a romantic text message, and she wrote: "If you are sleeping, send me your dreams, If you are laughing, send me your smile, If you are eating, send me a bite, If you are drinking, send me a sip, If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you." The husband texted back to her: "I'm on the toilet.....Please advise.” H.A.N.D.

  8. Adam Very nice suggestion about issues in Dominical. I love that you're using this form to promote helping others enrolling people to each other versus promoting VIP. A really nice and appreciated change. Thank you. The trash is an issue throughout the Caribbean, and also Mexico and Central America. I remember being in Mexico near Belize and the beaches were similar. I learned that it was all the trash that is being dumped in the ocean off of places like Jamaica and the United States that then washes up from the ocean back onto the shores with the currents. It's the same slew of garbage that is the filling the pacific gyre. It is a huge issue in the world and represents all the consumption we make without regard to outcome. The good news is that there are so many inventions happening to deal with waste that now garbage is becoming the new gold as they extract materials that are becoming increasingly rare and expensive to make. So another man's trash is everyone's gold - and one area we could be looking to invest. It's very important for us to do this for the planet and for ourselves as resources become less available. The next few years Ressie radical changes in cities and the way that garbage is dealt with. I anticipate in 10 years there will be people mining the ocean for plastic and the beaches and that this will all resolve because it will become an economic benefit to re-constitute the materials into the wrong form and be used again. I have been reading a website www.nobleprofit.org that has some interesting coverage of these changes across multiple industries. There have been tons of changes in major companies and private investment in this area. Possibly something to consider when we are all flush from the dinar. So thanks again for helping those folks in Dominical. I will make a care package.

  9. Free people keep governments in check by maintaining their right to keep and bear arms. This bothers those who wish to be governed by elites – they rally in the streets and cry out for more sweet bread and to be ruled; Rule us, rule us, they sing in discordant harmony. We want a Ruler, a King to make our choices for us. We want to be fat dumb and happy and we don’t want to be bothered with personal choices that draw us anywhere near the white hot smelter that forces the dross out of our lack luster souls. We don’t wish to shine as individuals – we wish to dine like hogs at the trough and screw like dogs in the alley. Thank goodness there is no place in this modern world for the inspired individual; take his guns away, take his words away and, well… just take him and his selfish independent minded family away, we have to make room for the coming anti-christ King of Peace.

  16. What gets me about the good for nothing low life cowards who are chanting 'pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon' are marching behind a police escort so they don't get hurt. They are too cowardly to actually say what they are meaning which is they want to see cops in caskets murdered in the streets. If blacks were so concerned about black lives then maybe they should stop murdering their own people so much. Over 90% of all black murders are done by fellow black people. Shut up about black lives matter until they start really being concerned about fellow blacks, stop the Planned Parenthood which was formed to exterminate black babies (just check history), and stop being a big hypocrite.

  18. Ok so I ran across a little issue with how some people understood my last post concerning my, PERSONAL PROPHESY , and I didn't know exactly how to handle it. So I decided to take it to the Lord and see what he had to say. I pray that everyone here would know that I take my faith very seriously and I would rather die than to intentionally or inadvertently lead anyone down the wrong road. That being said you can imagine how excited that I was when Jesus told me that he did have a message to pass onto everyone that reads these words, and the entire world, as much as is possible. Also I want to say that when you read this prophetic message there will be no doubt that God gave it to me. I am just a trucker and while I can be exceptionally observant I don't possess the intellect to come up with this on my own. This is something for EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET. No matter what your education level or profession this message from God is for YOU. In it you will find the answers to all questions about dinar and everything Middle East. You will find the answers to the various political, social , and personal issues of our day. But most importantly you will find information as to the direction the world is going and where it will all end. It's quite allot of information so I decided to provide a special link to this wonderful Message from God. GODS PROPHETIC MESSAGE FOR EVERYONE.

  19. IMF warns of the risk of the spread of the recent volatility in the markets Wednesday 02 September 2015 | 12:51 Chinese shares have fallen about 8% The IMF said that the recent volatility in global financial markets shows how the risks can quickly spread from one economy to another. The Executive Director informed the International Monetary Fund Christine Lagarde conference in the Indonesian capital: "What was evident in the last few weeks is how Asia is in the heart of the global economy and how the imbalances in the market to Asia could spread in fact to the rest of the world." Lagarde said that the global economy faces the negative effects resulting from the rebalancing in China and slow growth in Japan and falling commodities and uncertainty surrounding the lifting of US interest rates rates. Lagarde said that it must pursue policies that are appropriate to the needs of individual countries but will include mostly strengthen the defenses of a prudent fiscal policy and curb the excessive growth of credit and the unification of exchange rates to operate as tools absorb shocks and Hafiz on the occasion of foreign exchange reserves. The Chinese shares have fallen about 8%, after a week of volatility of trading which triggered panic in global markets, where the Chinese economy dropped the second largest economy in the world and greatly affected the markets, the fact that China's largest consumer of commodities.

  20. Jaxinjersey please come out of your suburbia dream world. its amazing how out of touch many of you are to the real world. i am literally in awe. but to your credit, your poll seems so sincere however it lacks any realism whatsoever. "....and so i am like, these are the same people as me. i am not going to arrest these people. some of these people are judges sons, i am not going to jack them up. and so i would head over to park heights a black neighborhood and get my arrest there to get my stats. you have to get stats, you have to get arrest to make my supervisors happy because we all know i am not going to arrest anybody in mt washington. ...and so if you ask a black male between 16 & 24 years of age, they would tell you that they have probably been locked up on a humble. a humble is where we humble you for running your mouth too much or something like that and we create something or write up a citation to lock you up and humble you. we wouldn't do that to whites because that citation would probably be revoked even before we turned it in [a criminal record would hurt their future career]. young blacks however are powerless to fight against it, that's why we do it. ....so that cycle 'we did'. we target young black males 16-24 and search them illegally. we find marijuana on them and lock them up. they miss their court date and get a warrant and we find them and lock them up again. they lose their job because of it and now they can't work. so they are in a perpetual cycle that we helped create. whites smoke marijuana too if not more than blacks but we don't stop and frisk them. our target is 16-24 year old black males." -- Michael Wood (Marine and Ex Police Officer) and so jaxinjersey i would like to see that bit of information, interestingly omitted from your poll, at least referenced. this is the real world.

  21. Fitch Ratings From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fitch Ratings Inc. Type Subsidiary Industry Financial services Founded 1914 Founder John Knowles Fitch Headquarters New York City, United States, and London, United Kingdom Key people Paul Taylor President & CEO Revenue $732.5 Million (2011) [1] Owner Hearst Corporation andFIMALAC SA Number of employees 2,000 (approximate) Website www.fitchratings.com Fitch Ratings Inc. is one of the three nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSRO) designated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 1975, together with Moody's and Standard & Poor's, and the three are commonly known as the "Big Three credit rating agencies".[2] Fitch Ratings is dual-headquartered in New York, USA, and London, UK.[3] On April 12, 2012, Hearst increased their stake in the Fitch Group to 50%.[4] Previously, Hearst owned a 40% stake in the company, while FIMALAC was the majority owner with 60% stake.[5] Fitch Ratings and Fitch Solutions are part of the Fitch Group. It is a jointly owned subsidiary of Hearst Corporation and FIMALAC SA. On December 12, 2014 Hearst Corporation announced that it will purchase from Fimalac S.A. at $1.965 billion an additional 30 percent interest in Fitch Group, bringing Hearst's equity interest to 80 percent. Fimalac will retain a 20 percent equity interest in Fitch Group.[6] On the same day Fimalac announced that the deal also coprises provision that Fimalac CEO Mr. Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière remain Chairman of the Board of Directors of Fitch Group as well as Fimalac will hold 50% of votes within that Board until 2020.[7] The firm was founded by John Knowles Fitch on December 24, 1913 in New York City as the Fitch Publishing Company. It merged with London-based IBCA Limited in December 1997. In 2000 Fitch acquired both Chicago-based Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. (April) and Thomson Financial BankWatch (December). Fitch Ratings is the smallest of the "big three" NRSROs, covering a more limited share of the market than S&P and Moody's, though it has grown with acquisitions and frequently positions itself as a "tie-breaker" when the other two agencies have ratings similar, but not equal, in scale. In September 2011, Fitch Group announced the sale of Algorithmics (risk analytics software) to IBM for $387 million.[8] The deal closed on October 21, 2011.[9]

  26. He Does All That He Pleases Our WORD for Today, 2 Sept.2015 This verse teaches that whenever God acts, he acts in a way that pleases him. God is never constrained to do a thing that he despises. He is never backed into a corner where his only recourse is to do something he hates to do. He does whatever he pleases. And therefore, in some sense, he has pleasure in all that he does. This should lead us to bow before God and praise his sovereign freedom — that in some sense at least he always acts in freedom, according to his own “good pleasure,” following the dictates of his own delights. God never becomes the victim of circumstance. He is never forced into a situation where he must do something in which he cannot rejoice. He is not mocked. He is not trapped or cornered or coerced. Even at the one point in history where he did what in one sense was the hardest thing for God to do, “not spare his own Son” (Romans 8:32), God was free and doing what pleased him. Paul says that the self-sacrifice of Jesus in death was“a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God” (Ephesians 5:2). The greatest sin and the greatest death and the hardest act of God was pleasing to the Father. And on his way to Calvary, Jesus himself had legions at his disposal. “No one takes my life from me; I lay it down of my own accord” — of his own good pleasure, for the joy that is set before him. At the one point in the history of the universe where Jesus looked trapped, he was totally in charge doing precisely what he pleased — dying to justify the ungodly like you and me. So let us stand in awe and wonder. And let us tremble that not only our praises of God’s sovereignty but also our salvation through the death of Christ for us, hang on this: “Our God is in heaven; he does whatever he pleases.” John Piper

  30. Wow, is that a flying pig I see? Kapreoni is right about something! Yes an RV is, and always was, impossible. Even more so given there is something like 80T or so in M2, 32T is just M0 (physical cash). I think a LOP might someday happen, but I don't think it will be anytime soon with the current political instability. Alas I don't see them floating either. Single resource economies are to vulnerable to currency fluctuation if they float which makes things even worse. What a growing economy wants is exchange rate stability (which is why this is the primary goal of the CBI as stated in their charter).

  31. Good day folks. All are welcome here, but ultimately this only effects Californian Dinarians. I will copy an article that pretty much covers it ALL. This one is from the Sacremento Bee online. BY DAVID SIDERS dsiders@sacbee.com Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León was promoting his new climate bill in a TV interview Monday when he was asked why lawmakers should grant authority to the California Air Resources Board – an unelected body – to decide how to implement provisions of the legislation, including reducing petroleum use in California. “Well, it was a board that started with Ronald Reagan back in the ’60s – they had the authority,” de León said on KCRA-TV in Sacramento. “My legislation would require them to come back and present the plan to the Legislature. So ultimately, the Legislature – those elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans – will be the ones ultimately responsible for voting the plan up or down.” Analysis: De León has the history of the California Air Resources Board right – but not his own bill. In a sweeping effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Senate Bill 350 would require the state to increase to 50 percent from one-third the amount of energy derived from renewable sources, while reducing petroleum use in motor vehicles by 50 percent by 2030. The legislation does not spell out how the state will achieve that level of petroleum reduction. Instead, it maintains the California Air Resources Board’s existing, broad authority over vehicle emissions and fuel standards. And it does not call for an “up or down” vote on ARB regulations. The issue is one of the most significant points of controversy in debate over SB 350, with some moderate Democrats in the Assembly calling for a future “up or down” vote on ARB plans. De León has said he is drafting amendments to address concerns about oversight of the board. But his office has suggested those amendments are unlikely to pull authority back entirely from the ARB. Read more here: http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article33247278.html#storylink=cpy So many Californians cannot afford the dilapidated, stuck in the 1970's, housing in the cities where we work. Let alone the more recently built houses in these same cities. So we commute. I personally drive 88 miles round trip every day. If this bill is passed by our out of touch money hungry off the backs of the average working guy with a job and a house ( by their understanding and definition these things make us filthy rich and able to pay a bit more) it will kill me financially. My wife and I work, yet we are just getting by paycheck to paycheck as it is. Don't fool yourselves, this is just another "revenue stream" for them. Is the State of California going to pay for me when I cannot afford to by gas to go back and forth to work. Are they going to pay my moving expenses when move into a rental closer to my work paying more in rent than I am paying on my mortgage right now. The state is going to invade my privacy by placing a monitoring device in my car to monitor my driving habits and "fine" me even more if my habits don't fit into their model of a good driver. I don't trust them with any of my info more than I can throw them. Bottomline, please go to support.californiadriversalliance.org and sign their petition against this bill. You all can imagine how negatively this bill will effect your lives. So what move out of state? Who will buy my house in a state where they do this stuff. Its junk like this that will have this family move out of this otherwise beautiful state post RV. Thank you for your time. NYK Mods I hope this post meets with DV rules and regs.

  32. if they delete the 3 zeroes wouldnt this make them 50's and 100 dinar notes and possibly with new value by end of year?

  33. nice checklist but one thing i would do is discard dates of lower denoms being issued etc.. they change like dinar thug changes his thuggies. Personally with a liquidity crisis id imagine they would need to put value on new lower notes alot sooner than 2017 but then again who really knows.

  35. Tex i appreciate your feedback. I am sort of disheartened that you didn't make it past the first 3 minutes. Actually it is a bit upsetting. Sometimes I feel like there just aren't many people I can have objective conversation with being the truth seeker that I am (even when the information hurts me). I was hoping that you were one of those that I could. Thanks for the dialogue and the fact that we could share our thoughts even though our backgrounds and experiences are very different.

  36. A young man entered the Army and hadn't been there very long until all the members of his unit was humiliating him for his beliefs in God. They loved to make fun of him and sometimes bringing tears to his eyes. Even his captain decided he wanted to put on a show in front of the group. As they were standing in formation one morning the captain called this young man to be front and center then told him to take the keys he handed him and go get that Jeep down the way and bring it back to him. The young trooper said, "But I can't drive and this made the captain almost laugh but he held his composure". Well ask your God for assistance to help you if he is so good. He did as he was told and on the way he prayed and prayed hard for God to help him and he got into that Jeep backed it up and brought it back to the captain and parked it right in front of him ever so nearly. As the young trooper got out of the Jeep and looked around, all the members of his group including the captain was crying big tears and he asked them what was wrong....Almost in unison they said we want to know your God, we want to serve him like you do and the captain was also agreeing with them. He still was bewildered until the captain walked over and opened the hood and there was no engine there. See, this is the God I serve and believe in, he can do wonders. He can make the impossible possible, he can give life to what does not exist yet. He makes welcome all who comes to him. I was trying to decide on which story to bring this week and when I ran across this one a strong feeling told me that someone out there is falling into trying times and their faith is weak or they have lost hope because something has happened and they need a word of encouragement. We serve a risen Jesus and he welcomes all who will confide in him and he will shield us from all harm. May the lord bless you and keep you...may he make his face to shine upon you now and forever more......Amen

  39. MORNING CHUCKLE............They weren't in my pockets. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the car's ignition. He's afraid that the car could be stolen. As I looked around the parking lot, I realized he was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then, I made the most difficult call of all to my husband: "I left my keys in the car and it's been stolen." There was a moment of silence. I thought the call had been disconnected, but then I heard his voice. "Are you kidding me?" he barked, "I dropped you off!" Now it was my turn to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me." He retorted, "I will; just as soon as I convince this cop that I didn't steal your damn car!"

  41. my thoughts exactly friends. in order to get this new economic reform pumping full steam, iraq need experts in place who know exactly how to make it happen. shabibi is world renowned for his astute economic sense. to leave him on the sideline in a time like this is foolish. take this thing through the legal system and prove that corrupt motives sacked dr. shabibi, restore the man to a place in the country without fear of legal reprisal, and get on using his masterful ability to build a solid economic infrastructure.

  44. Hey Peace, thanks for the post. We can expect more of these attempts for universal vaccination until they manage to ram it through or even arrange some kind of false flag "viral" threat to scare parents. The problem with vaccines is two-fold: 1. Most people are not aware of the nature of diseases and how to properly heal the body through natural means--or better yet, avoid becoming ill by living a healthy lifestyle. For further information about disease and the vaccine racket, go can also go to Whale.to 2. Most people are shamefully unaware of their UNALIENABLE RIGHTS--if you can't immediately define unalienable (NOT INalienable), and if you cannot state from where your rights are DERIVED, then you do not know your rights. To learn about your rights, go to Youtube, listen to "Michael Badnarik's Constitution Classes", the class is eight hours long, but well worth it. If Americans actually KNEW their rights, Corrupt politicians such as Frederika wouldn't even be able to introduce such a bill, she would be so vehemently detested by all. A quick lesson on your Unalienable Rights: Rights are NOT GIVEN--they cannot EVER be granted, you are born with them. The Constitution does NOT grant Rights, it merely LISTS a FEW of them. To say you have "constitutional rights" is FALSE. You have natural born unalienable rights. Rights cannot be granted, and Rights can NEVER be taken away. Your rights are derived from your PROPERTY What is your Property: your body, your money, your house/land, your children Your children are YOUR property, not the government's, since rights can never be taken away, the government cannot make laws which strip sovereign power from a parent--it is the parent's right to choose whether or not to vaccinate. Because most are ignorant of their rights, anti-rights "laws" are often forced on us, with punishments of jail or fines if we do not comply, punishments which are then obscenely upheld by unfortunately unaware jurors and law enforcement. For instance, the many raw milk raids and arrests occurring in this country: you have the right to eat what you want--YOUR body, your property, you have final discretion as to what you put into it.
