Marin's 'Balloon Boy' from 1964 still flying high - San Jose Mercury News - http://tinyurl.coom/ylntf4r Which pretty much reminded me of it again so I thought I'd discuss it with you because it still amazes me. If you are like Paul, my son, and me, you were watching this live on the news. It captivated me right away when I first turned Fox News on and saw it on the screen. My son's son is 6 - the same age as the boy in this news story. We could imagine him in the same terrible predicament. Trapped thousands of feet up in the air in a run away helium balloon. When the horror and the shock of it hit home, I lifted it to Father and got back an immediate response from He whom I felt was Christ saying 'I will take care of it'. I felt better. I was thinking there must be many praying to God for the safety of this little one! But my 'feeling better' quickly changed, even though I tried to keep my faith and positive belief in check. As we watched the live Fox News report, they got experts in that made us very concerned. They said they learned the trap door was made of thin plywood that would not sustain a crash. They couldn't figure how to get this saucer shaped balloon down safely. The wind was causing it to travel some 25 mph sideways. Thankfully they said it was topped out and would not be climbing any higher. However, they said something that made both my son and I gasp look at each other and exclaim 'Oh No!' Their expert said a balloon like that one could stay up indefinitely! Not come down on it's own. A troubling thought of the little boy stuck up there without food or water for hours and days filled our minds. It wasn't long after that though, that we noticed the balloon loosing it's shape and appearing to be coming down. We watched in glee as it began to descend. The wind suddenly stopped as it neared the ground. It circled in a slow spiral giving it the 'gentle me' affect that I will never forget. It was as if our Lord Jesus Christ himself was right there gently bringing this craft to the ground as gentle and as safe as possible! We were praising God! We knew if this boy was in there that he was not harmed by the landing and we had much hope for his safe return to his family. Anyone who followed this knows the rest of the story. The boy was actually hiding at home and it was all a hoax put on by the family to gain media attention so that they might one day have their own reality show. Sad state of affairs to put their children up to this! It was the most horrible act of 'Crying Wolf' that I've ever witnessed. But what gets me is our God and our Lord. It didn't matter to God that this was a hoax. Remember what the bible teaches us? 1 Peter 5:7 'Casting all your care upon him [God]; for he [God] careth for you.' This was important to millions of us across the nation. We were very concerned! This was 'our care'. We lifted it to Father and God gave it to His right hand man - our Lord Jesus Christ to take care of. This is a wonderful amazing example of just how much God cares for us. He will even take care of things for us when there is no real danger or threat. So many eyes were on that balloon. If it had crash landed or come down violently, just think of all who would of been devastated by it? We totally invested our hearts to this little boy and their family! Isn't God good? Isn't Jesus our Lord wonderful? Gotta love them - at least I know I Do! :) , , /////| ///// | ///// | |~~~| | | |===| |/| | B |/| | | I | | | | B | | | | L | / | E | / |===|/ jgs '---' >Bible Teachings: Who Is Jesus Christ? http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/whoisjesus.html God's right hand Man, Jesus Christ seated on throne, given all authority power http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=48 What does the Bible say Jesus Christ is doing as Lord / at God's right hand? http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=450 Our Valuable ANCHOR http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/ouranchor.html Genealogy Of Jesus Christ http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/genealogyofjesuschrist.html The New Birth - Born Again http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/newbirth.html All About Jesus Christ - More Teachings: http://www.truthortradition.com/modules.php?name=News&new_topic=27 -<>- , , /////| ///// | ///// | |~~~| | | |===| |/| | B |/| | | I | | | | B | | | | L | / | E | / |===|/ jgs '---' >-->From Our Friends At TruthOrTradition: Dear Partner / Contributor, We are very excited for you to watch our first ever Live Out Loud Teens & Twenties promotional video.

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; she put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar,and a bottle of spring-water. When she'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow center of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. On the fourth day, the husband came back with his new girlfriend, and at first all was bliss. Then, slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the place. Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which time the two had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked! People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they couldn't take the stench any longer, and decided they had to move, but a month later - even though they'd cut their price in half - they couldn't find a buyer for such a stiinky house. Word got out, and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, unable to wait any longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. Then the ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for having the house. Knowing she could have no idea how bad the smell really was, he agreed on a price that was only 1/10 th of what the house had been worth ... but only if she would sign the papers that very day. She agreed, and within two hours his lawyers delivered the completed paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home .... ... and to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!

Here's what motivated this unusually strong action... The congressional letter states, "As the founder of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), Mr. Jennings has played an integral role in promoting homosexuality and pushing a pro-homosexual agenda in America's schools-an agenda that runs counter to the values that many parents desire to instill in their children...

He is an outspoken proponent of a radical pro-homosexual curriculum -- including so-called "diversity" training at the elementary school level! This is deplorable. It is not to be tolerated! On top of his unacceptable, strident stand on the homosexual agenda, Jennings has even admitted to the use of illicit drugs, showing no signs of remorse or repentance.

Frankly, if you can’t afford to pay for your pet, you have no business owning a pet. Why should the rest of us have to pick up the tab for this? And unlike children, other than not deliberately running over it, I have no grand moral obligation to your pets. This is going to end up causing crazy cat people, who hardly pay any taxes anyway because of their near unemployability, to end up paying no taxes at all. Van Jones is not only a professed Communist but also a high-ranking occultist as well. In an episode of PID radio, broadcasters Derek Gilbert and Doctor Future pointed out that Obama’s former special advisor for green jobs is also a fellow at the Institute For Noetic Sciences, a New Age think tank that researches “extended human capacities”, “integral health”, and “emerging worldviews”. These categories include psychic abilities, the survival of consciousness after death, and earth-worshipping pantheism. Obama’s circle of advisors continues to grow more creepy and Nazi-like. Obama’s regulatory czar, who will play a pivotal role in overseeing how laws and policies are implemented, believes organs should be harvested from the terminally ill without their permission. WorldNetDaily reports Sustein as writing. “the state owns the rights to the body parts of people who are dead or in certain hopeless conditions.” Before this is all over with and these tyrants driven from office, one of those “certain hopeless conditions” will no doubt be disagreeing with the Obama regime.

Pro-life Democrat leader Bart Stupak, the courageous Congressman from Michigan, has been fighting a gallant many-month battle to have health care reform legislation absolutely guarantee that Americans' tax dollars will not be used for the abominable practice of abortion. So far, it has been a losing battle. The vote on Obamacare is expected in the House of Representatives in early November. Countless non-partisan authorities have confirmed that the five bills being considered in Congress -- 3 in the House of Representatives and 2 in the U.S. Senate, where only one Republican, Olympia Snowe from Maine, voted for only the Obamacare bill coming out of the Senate Finance Committee -- will allow taxpayer funding for abortions. Each of these bills are not subject to the Hyde amendment -- authored by the late Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Henry Hyde -- which ensured that no abortions, except to save the life of the mother and rape/incest abortions (less than 2% of all abortions) would be funded with tax dollars. There are some 40 Democrats who are from generally conservative districts who cast a pro-life vote from time to time -- some all the time such as Congressman Stupak -- and they, with a unanimous vote against Obamacare could stop abortion from being funded. There are additional Democrats from conservative/moderate districts who are pro-abortion and whose reelection chances are threatened next year if they vote for a government-option health care bill..

Santo Gambino, 30, who was arrested for dumping construction waste in March, was taken to court after he was caught violating his house arrest and asked to be given a jail sentence instead to escape his wife’s “non-stop nagging” at home, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Thursday. However, the judge sent Gambino, who lives outside Palermo on the island of Sicily, back home on house arrest and ordered him to “try to get along” with his wife. -- Young Norwegian takes Monopoly title ----- LAS VEGAS – A 19-year-old Norwegian defeated opponents from New Zealand, Russia and the United States to become the new world Monopoly champion. Bjorn Halvard of Oslo won $20,580 Thursday, KVVU-TV, Las Vegas, reported. The prize in the Monopoly World Championship is the real U.S. currency equivalent of the paper money in the standard Monopoly bank. Hjalvard, who graduated a few months ago from high school, the Oslo Private Gymnasium, needed only 45 minutes to eliminate his three opponents in the final. The runner-up, Geoff Christopher, 25, of New Zealand, tapped out when he landed on Pacific and North Carolina avenues in two consecutive moves and did not have the Monopoly money to pay Hjalvard $1,600 in rent. Monopoly in its current form dates back to 1935 although it was based on an earlier board game invented by Elizabeth Phillips in 1904. Phillips, a Quaker and advocate of the single-tax ideas of Henry George, hoped to show the evils of monopoly ownership of land. Hasbro which owns Monopoly, has been holding the world championship since 1973. -- Man pleads guilty to La-Z-Boy crash ----- PROCTOR, Minn. – A Minnesota man pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated — in a motorized easy chair he crashed into a parked car. Dennis LeRoy Anderson, 62, of Proctor, who pleaded guilty Monday in St. Louis County District Court, was fined $1,000 and given two years of probation, the Duluth (Minn.) News Tribune reported. Judge Heather Sweetland of the 6th Judicial District stayed two years’ jail and half of a $2,000 fine. The criminal complaint against Anderson said he tried to drive the motorized La-Z-Boy chair home from a Proctor bar after drinking eight or nine beers. Police arrived after he hit a parked car with the chair, powered by a converted lawnmower, and his blood alcohol content was 0.29 percent, more than three times the legal limit for driving.

"We're in trouble!" He said. "We're out of quarters, and customers are waiting. Go next door and get me $40 worth." I ran to the supermarket next door, but a cashier said she wasn't allowed to give out that many quarters. Determined, I sprinted to a convenience store two blocks away, but it was closed. At a gas station farther down the road, the clerk took pity and gave me the four rolls of quarters. Twenty minutes after I'd left, I handed the coin rolls to my boss. "Where are the quarters?" He asked. "Right here," I said breathlessly. His face sank. "I meant chicken quarters." -<>- >Love In The Home If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everthing in its place, but have not love, I am a housekeeper --not a homemaker. If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements, but have not love, my children learn cleanliness--not godliness. Love leaves the dust in search of a child's laugh. Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window. Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk. Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys. Love is present through the trials. Love reprimands, reproves, and is responsive. Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, runs with the child, then stands aside to let the youth walk into adulthood. Love is the key that opens salvation's message to a child's heart. Before I became a mother I took glory in my house of perfection. Now I glory in God's perfection of my child. As a mother, there is much I must teach my child, but the greatest of all is love. =============================================================== >-->From CleanLaffs: BOYFRIEND 5.0 TO HUSBAND 1.0.....
