When I've gone the last mile

You know they say you can't go back and change things thats happened even 5 seconds ago. But if I could I would suredly try to change a lot of things. They also say you have to live with the cards you are dealt. well if I had it my way, I'd ask for a new hand. Myself as well as countless on thousand upon thousand of people just here in the USA, just like myself, we weren't born on the other side of the tracks as to say, no silver spoon, no ira's, or college funds set aside. no we are the ones who have to fight for everything we got. Christianity in my house was nothing unless it was taking the church for everything they had and then when the well went dry, that's all you heard about church. I guess if it hadn't been for my late, late, grandmother, God rest her soul, I would have never graced the inside of a church building. And I praise the Lord for her.



They say that it's not good to look back on the past, but look to the future, but how can you look to the future when so much of your future is in the past. Growing up in the house I lived in was pure hectic to say at least. Like thousands of other young kids who had broken homes, life wasn't easy, especially when your mother remarrys a man she met in a beer dive. not to say that my real dad, which I never saw with my own eyes (and if I did was to young to remember), I've been told he was in no way a saint himself. Oh well maybe I will get to see him on the other side in new jerusalem, this is my hope and prayer. But as I look back I guess all the beating we endured made us better folk, I guess, I really can't tell.

But just to survive was not in itself easy, taking on different personalities, just to help us make through. we firmly believe that if God hadn't been there with us, we wouldn't be here today. The rule was, kids only spoke when spoken to, dare speak, get beat, then speak, get beat. what a win win situation huh ? Having your every move dictatated was grrrr. having no life was worse, But when Ive gone the last mile I know all will be well. to have to grow up the way we did as a child, and knowing that thousands upon thousands of others had it the same way makes one just break down and cry. It has taken many years for me to shed a tear for anything, or anyone and at times it's still tough to cry. When I lost my mother earlier this year, instead of crying, I felt thank goodness, this is over. Did I love my mom? yes. did I love my mom after all the abuse she and my stepdad put me through, yes but it was and still is tough.

Now that I look back at all the wasted years, what should have been and not should of been in my life, would I still change things? YES, I would. And the first thing would be, that the first time that I met Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, I would have held onto Him for dear life. You see I wasted so many years of being a form of godliness, denyng the power thereof. I knew of Him, but really never knew Him. But now that I know Him and what He was and is capable of doing, I can no longer look back. For today the future is ahead of me. For all the mental, physical, and verbal abuse I grew up with, I have no one else to thank, but God the Father, who brought me through it all. As that old old song goes, I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. By the help and grace of God I pray that my feet never again slip backwards but walketh forward from this day. That when I have gone the last mile of the way, Jesus will look at me and say these words, "enter in thy good and faithful servant".

Friends, you can make it the last mile of the way also, just trust in Him, Jesus.

Peace and Shalom to Israel

p.s. Please when you pray, pray for the peace of Jerusalem

What are they thinking ????

You know when I gave my heart back to God, I know we are not supposed to (even though I have known for a long time) run down, put down or even talk bad about our elected officials in any way, but pray for them. And I am still not going to put them down and so on and on and on, BUTTTT, What are they thinking? Whose idea was it to bring these (supposedly just 5) terrorists to America to stand trial? If I am not mistaken, it could be well over 150 of them. Man the people wanted change, well we are all getting it whether we wanted it or not.

I guess years ago when I began to first serve the only true living, undying God, and began to seek Him for the truth and nothing but the truth, I believe it was the Holy Spirit that began, at that time to look out over the world, look at the sin that plagues this earth, (back then yes we had murder and killing, robberies, rapes, kidnapping, serial killings), but at that time we didn't have kids going on rampages killing dozens at a time in our schools. But now it seems to be an every day occurrence, whether it's elementary, junior high, high school, community colleges, now major colleges, wow what a sad sad world. Now babies being abducted from their very home, parents killing, or having something to do with their disappearances, toddlers, well its very sad.

We also had one of our worst days in American history, 9-11. When the very people we helped with our American dollars became powerful as well as a lot of other rogue countries who have the nerve to stab us in the back, turn on us all in the name of allah (yes little ( a ) because he isn't God). Isn't it enough that we have enough killing going on here now in our once great country, that we have to bring these people here, opening the door for all the sleeper cells here, so they can carry out their missions with even more fierceness. How many people can remember that great saying of a lady who ran this country for 8 years back in the 90's, who said it takes a village to raise a child. Heck I don't know what village or tribe she comes from whether it is the moabites, jebusites, sodomites, hittites, muslimites, canaanites, luciferites ?? But I am glad of one thing, praise the Almighty God, I didn't come from her tribe or village.

Friends we haven't seen nothing yet, but just wait. Just as the early Isrealites, who wanted a King to rule over them instead of God, (He granted it, He gave them Saul), you get what you ask for. I am not slamming our former President Bush, at least his heart was with America. Well America wanted a President of change instead of one with Christian values and a true American born American. Well the tribes got again what they wanted, a snake in the grass which they praised and worshiped, now they are finding out he ain't what he said he was all about. And friends just wait a few more days for the next round of HOG WASH coming out of Washington. Terrorists tomorrow, one world government next.

So what are they thinking about bringing these people here? The very ones who calls us the infidels, the great satan. Wow now if those words ain't of love I don't know what is lol. I guess as a whole we all asked for this mess even though we didn't elect it, so tighten your belts, open your eyes and pay close attention to our near near future. What were you all thinking ???

til next time this is jesseb's

Shalom and peace to Israel

May God bless each and everyone of us.

Save face Obama do something productive.

Here I am again with another beach about the world and the way things are going. If I am not mistaken I remember vaguely that the President 's campaign speeches consisted of creating more Jobs for the American people, fixing the economy and thus and thus and thus and so on, Well America has given him high marks for his first 100 days in office. Well, I say its a bunch of hogwash, or should I go ahead and say bullshit. He has shown what he's all about. I myself believe, (and this is just my beliefs), that you could go down to the poorest part of the Bronx or out to some of the tent cities set up by homeless folk, or even go to some soup kitchen anywhere, to the poor and in general even middle class and find someone who could of done a better job their first 100 days than the President has done in his. And why is this? Well give it a thought, they all have something in common.

I am not an authority on this but have noticed that people who are supposed to have come from a poor, horrible, down trodden background who seems to come not only into the money, but also power have a tendency to forget where they come from and who they were at one time. I applaud anyone who can turn their life around and make something of it, but when you get to level of the President of the United States and beyond and you begin by saying your going to do something, save face and do it! All throughout his campaign all we heard was change you can believe in, and we can really see the change. NOT A FRIGGEN' BIT. Hey Obama save our American automakers please, screw Fiat. Please dont sell them down the river. You do not have the power to save the world but save the most important things, America.

Let's see some of the things that was done in his first 100 days: He set a time table for troop withdrawl from Iraq. That's sorta good I guess, all depends who wins once we leave. We all know, or anyone with common sense knows, there ain't an Arab or Muslim that cares for the United States. WE ARE, IN THEIR EYES, THE GREAT SATAN, and also that we stand beside ISRAEL 100% RIGHT NOW , BUT LOOK FOR THAT, MAYBE THAT TO WILL CHANGE. IF we sell out Israel all hell will break out. Let me show you a passage of scripture that is sorta of unnerving.

Luke 21: 20&26-28---[20] And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh.

Friends it's a scary thing to start making packs with and wanting to sleep with the devil. China, Pakistan, Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and every other country that doesn't care for us, maybe I shouldn't word it like that but how else would you say it? The bible plainly tells us that when we see Israel compass with armies the time has started. But that's just half the gripe. Just last week OUR illustrious Obama got together with the leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan and agreed to fight against the Taliban and then not even 3 or 4 days later we're accused of killing innocent civilians, and also using white phosphorus, which is an agent that is used for illumination and marking targets and yes it does cause severe burns once it touches the skin. I seem to believe that the United States has better sense then to use such stuff against civilians but we are always accused of doing things we don't and also targeting civilian targets, and if it is found out we did I will apologize.

This is another one of my opinions: We have a bomb that is just setting idle called the MOAB, but then again we have a bomb even larger then that, that we could pull out and show the TALIBAN, WE'RE tired of screwing with them, and to either surrender or die in the process. If we don't do something soon we are never going to get ahead over there. Back to IRAQ, maybe we shouldn't have ever went over there and started this war and let Saddam continue to kill his own people and rule his own little world. I do have to say that every time we read or hear something from there that things are looking up and they can rule themselves and then a few days later, ain't nothing going right, the police and military aint up to par. So what do we do about IRAQ, WELL HELL I DONT KNOW, WHO DOES. We could just pull all our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan and let them fend for themselves, fortify our own borders and wait for them to come get us again then take care of them. All this is my opinion. I've aired everything I have to say at this time so now I HAVE TO SAY UNTIL NEXT TIME.

thanks jessebs
Shalom and Peace to Israel.

Only in a America, Is not America no more.

Good morning, America

Wow, what other country can you wake up to the sound of freight trains shaking your pictures off the wall, the sounds of sirens and not knowing if its an ambulance, fire truck, or police. You can see the sun coming up greeting another beautiful day. You can see a school bus driver stuck in a traffic jam driving down a freeway in L.A, or drive on IH-35 N. from Texas to Missouri, take a ride on a quiet country road in Idaho. Wow, ain't it great knowing you were born in one of the greatest countries there is. The United States of America. Oh how sweet it is.

Did anyone out there know that this very land our feet stands on, or our head lays on was founded, upon a foundation of Biblical principles and standards? Freedom to worship, freedom of speech, rights to what is yours is yours. That your house is your haven. That your family is your family, your property is your property, your gun, your rifle is yours. And that you as an American citizen have the right to stand up for what is yours? Well America, that's the way it once was, once upon a fairy tale, when American was young. Back when everything was plentiful. Back before men began to forget what the Constitution of the United States stood for. Its a very small but big word, and has only 7 letters. F-R-E-E-D-O-M !

I guess freedom began to fizzle in the early 1800's when one of our very well known fore-fathers, Thomas Jefferson, called the Bible nothing more than dung, and took a pair of scissors to it, but wait he was atheist, along with many of his group of colleagues, and were only thought to be (Christian's) because that's how and what the times were like back then. So have we really never had religious freedom at all? Some would say yes we have, but even more will say no. Thinking briefly about prayer in schools, how many thought that when Madayln Murry O'Hare petitioned the Supreme Court she would win? She did win the case of removing prayer from schools and started the movement of removing God from all places. I guess people must have thought to themselves that it was the beginning of the end. But this wasn't even the first case of Church vs State, lets look you can see for yourselves.

"There is no such source and cause of strife, quarrel, fights, malignant opposition, persecution, and war, and all evil in the state, as religion. Let it once enter our civil affairs, our government would soon be destroyed. Let it once enter our common schools, they would be destroyed."

- Supreme Court of Wisconsin, Weiss v. District Board, March 18, 1890

"Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate."

- Ulysses S. Grant, "The President's Speech at Des Moines" (1875)

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

- First Amendment, Bill of Rights, U.S. Constitution

Thomas Jefferson, author of the sweeping Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, stating that no citizen "shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever..." and that to "compell a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of [religious] opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical."

- President Thomas Jefferson, 1802 letter to the Baptists of Danbury, Connecticut

The Supreme Court Cases Opposing Religious Worship in Schools

McCollum v. Board of Education, 333 U.S. 203, 212 (1948).

Struck down religious instruction in public schools. The case involved school-sponsored religious instruction in which the sole nonreligious student, Jim McCollum, was placed in detention and persecuted by schoolmates in Champaign, Illinois.

Tudor v. Board of Education of Rutherford, 14 J.N. 31 (1953), cert. denied 348 U.S. 816 (1954).

Let stand a lower court ruling in Georgia that pre-game invocations at high school football games are unconstitutional.

Lee v. Weisman, 120 L.E. 2d 467/ 112 S.C.T. 2649 (1992).

Ruled prayers at public school graduations an impermissible establishment of religion.

Berger v. Rensselaer, 982 F.2d, 1160 (7th Cir.) Cert. denied. 124 L.E. 2d 254 (1993).

Let stand ruling barring access to Gideons to pass out Bibles in Indiana schools.

Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000).

Barred student-led prayers at public school functions.

Have you ever really thought about this? How we cannot stand up in a pulpit and talk about the Government, without them wanting to audit, pull your tax exempt status, and close your doors. Before you can start a legal, tithe receiving Church organization, you have tell them what your beliefs are and what your Church doctrine is, and how it will be set up, BEFORE, you will be approved to become tax exempt status with WHO, none other than THE State Government.

SO see the fight for prayer in school is just one of the things that will always be an endless battle that should be left a sleeping dog . ( pst ) Do you really think God worries about prayer in schools or colleges around the world? I think not. That is the least of His worries. He get millions of prayers a day from children and students alike from around the world saying God help me with this test I'm about to take. Lord Jesus help me make it through the day that I can live up to my abilities. You see they didn't stop prayer in schools. ALL they did was just silence the voices of those who would have prayed out loud. Parents keep teaching your children to pray.

Then there's the right to bare arms, guns, rifles, knives and such that we now have to register and wait for back ground checks to even get a permit to carry. I don't own a gun, my wife won't let me have one (joke). It takes 30, 60, 90 or more days to receive a permit, if you even get approved. Many don't and won't. It bothers me that it is easier for a convicted felon, one day out of prison, to get a gun than a law abiding citizen who just wants to protect their home, family, and possessions. I truly believe in the saying that guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Now they say they may take our right to drive what we want to drive. Mr. President, Congressmen, Senators, before you take our Z-71's, our Ford F-250's or our Dodge quad cabs, consider this; you want to rid our dependence on foreign oil or go green by building more electric cars or trucks, help the O-Zone, save the rain forest, etc. but before you take or even think about taking our trucks and cars, try driving yourself and your foreign dignitaries around in a Yugo. Or, the next time you wanna fly on a surprise trip to Iraq or Afghanistan, or to see the King of Spain, (let's make the list short), anywhere in the Middle East, instead of taking Air Force 1, 2 or 3, (how ever many there may be), try taking a Cessna 303, single engine plane, to save the tax payers money and fuel. Fix what needs fixed and leave the people of America alone while fixing it.

I along with nearly over 303,824,650 people in the United States want change. Mr. President, here are some ways I believe you can help change America, please consider your promise was change. So what are you gonna change? Cut taxes: You already talking increasing them. Create more jobs: you're already cutting jobs. It doesn't take 4, 8, to 10 or more years to fix health care. JUST fix it. You're the Commander & Chief, stand up and be bold, have some balls. Tell the House and Senate this is what you want, then do it! Instead of having to have your press secretary stand before a camera and tell America, "well the measure didn't pass the House and won't make it to the Senate", ( health care), "we'll keep on trying". (Famous words). Next the economy, humm tough subject, go up on Capital Hill, take a good long look, I mean a good longgggggg look. See all the Lobbyist, and the special interest groups hanging around, the big oil companies, the big Energy companies, gas , light, in other words , helllo the Utility companies, they can't be that hard to see. Now be a Man and take that #13 size shoe you wear an boot their butts out of Washington. And while their leaving, have them leave a billion or two dollars in the hat for the economy and American people, and say don't ya come back NO MO NO MO NO MO NO MO, (as the song goes). Now when Washington starts doing what their elected to do, what the people want, then America will be just a hair closer to what she once was. And, before you try to extend the Presidential Term of Office, spend the next eight years proving you or any other President deserves more time.

They can stimulate the economy with their piss poor stimulus checks, lol, then turn right around and charge you taxes on it. Lol, wow their stimulating right before they rape ya again. The way to fix the economy is by, first give back to the people, if the middle class on down to the lower class that works their lives away every day or year, and still owe taxes, and owe more than $25,000, forgive that debt, the Federal Reserve and the World Bank wont miss it. Their not even American owned. Then your next step should be to regulate, regulate, regulate, Banks, Savings and Loan companies, Gas and Oil, Natural Gas and Energy. You may not last to long as President, but neither did Abraham Lincoln or John.F. Kennedy when they stood against them. You're the man of change, well don't just change it, fix it! If that's too tall of an order, resign with Honor, you promised change. THIS would be change.

MAKE AMERICA PROUD AGAIN.

Bring our troops home and fortify our boundaries. Help America FIRST, then help only those who help US, Our ALLIES, Great Britian, and Israel, our True Brothers in Arms.

Sholoam and peace to ISRAEL.

What about the little people,

As we begin to think about this article, we thought of how this could head in probably 20 different directions. We could talk on one subject for days, and never tell the end of the story. We could talk about the children, the homeless, the poor, lower class, and even the middle class of America and get admonished for doing so, well I say, so be it. What have we to lose, our lives for speaking up?

We live in a fast paced world, at a fast paced speed. Blink your eyes once and you've been passed, forced into the slow lane and no one's moving over. It seems that once the title as the little people is placed on you, it's a tag you'll never lose. Jesus once said, "the poor will always be among you". The Old Testament writer's wrote that it was the families responsibility to care for their sick, their family, their poor. That was over 3000 years or more ago when that was written. Things change but the Word of God does not change. Jesus once said about the laws of His Father that He laid down for an often backsliding Israel. Jesus said, "I come not to do away with the Law of My Father but to add too". Now those very words will hit a sour note with a lot of people, sinners and Christians alike. But to know the word, is to read the word, study the word, and God will reveal the word.

What about the little people who've been left behind, no where to go, no where to turn? What is to be done? First put not your trust in man, men are only human and subject to failure. We are to help our own poor, and sick, but what do we do when we can help no more, where do we turn? First to family, but not to drag them down beyond rescue. Second the Church. Thirdly to the government. Yeah, I know what government? Which opens up another big can of worms . The Church, wow now I'm nervous, talking about the Church and it's part in helping those in need. As far back as I can remember in the Bible, from the times of the days of the Priest and tabernacle, it was a commandment that all should bring a tenth of all they had, into the tabernacle, whether it be, monetary, sheep, goats, cattle, corn, wheat and so on. That the Priest would not have to work, but be set side for the care of the tabernacle with help of priests in learning, to be free to perform the daily sacrifices, free to hear God's word to bring forth to the congregation, and to help those in need. The commandment is still alive today, even though many believe that when Jesus came He did away with it. What a pity. Remember Jesus said, "I came not to take away but to add too"? That's pretty plain. It is also said in the New Testament, will a man rob God, of what, thine tithes and offering? We do live it a different time. Fast cars, hi-tech this, hi-tech that, the day of planting and growing are just about over. Famine, pestilence, drought, fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, changing in the seasons, seasons running together, these are just a few of the "signs". And yes, Jesus did say, "Render unto caesar, what is caesar's and unto God what is God's". We owe God his tenth, still.

But there are some sad stories that go along with those churches who help the needy, poor and homeless, hungry and sick. A Pastor told the story one Sunday morning. He was out mowing the Church grounds, and looked up to see a young man, get out of his car, grab a gas can and walk up to him and said his car was out of gas. He reached into his own pocket and gave the young man, I believe, a $20 dollar bill. The young man even told the Pastor may God bless you sir, however, as the young man was leaving the pastor noticed the man got into his car and drove off! I guess that if a person will rip off a Man of God, they'll rip off the House of God. The way things are today, no stability anywhere. With the economy, stock market, jobs, health insurance out the roof, no heath insurance at all, where do the little people go, what about the little people?

Only one last resort, the Government. Now this is tough, where do we start? For as long as i can remember, and I'm 50 years old now, I have watched television over, and over, and over again, watching people, movie stars, Unicef, Feed the children, organization after organization, ask for food, money, and donations. Showing pictures of little rhaul an Ethopian refugee, or little Mamie who probably won't see tomorrow if she doesnt get help, and for $3.00 a week she'll be able to eat, and we'll even send you a picture so you'll know who you're sponsoring. I am NOT in any way, shape, or form putting down any of these children or organizations, but lets take a trip down some of the streets of America. Let's start on the streets of New York, journey on down through Florida, back across to Texas, on over to California, up to Washington State, and back across every state that makes up the Continental United States. We have our poor, our sick, our homeless, our little people. And if we need a picture before we can even help our little people, go to a morgue, go to the police station, go to the Department of Human Resources, they'll be glad to show you a picture of a person who needs or needed our help, if we really want to help and do something.

Now for the Government. Hello Government, we (America) neeeeeed your help! You have the treasury cranking out billions, upon billions of dollars a day. Wow, what you gonna do with all that money Sir? You gonna give it to help our homeless, our children, our poor, our sick and hungry? You gonna build the homeless a home? You gonna help our children and families with health care? You gonna help our sick and hungry with food, shelter, gas, water and lights, that you wouldn't regulate, so it would be affordable? Probably not. You'll continue to send billions to Iraq, to rebuild it even though they said they didn't need our help, and very little will be for our troops. You continue to send billions to Afghanistan to fight Alqueda, Ben Laden, and the Taliban. Even continue to sell weapons to rogue countries that can't stand us, then turn those very weapons on us, killing our innocent. It's time to hold our elected officials accountable, from the President, Congressmen, Senators, and governors on down the line. Do what you were elected to do. America comes first and foremost, all the others are extra. Help America first, then help every other country to your hearts desire.

GOD bless Israel.

To all the little people who need help, there's coming a day, in the near future when our eternal help will come, a day when every eye shall see and every knee shall bow. A day that will be so powerful, that the earth will tremble, the buildings will fall. A day when every powerful, rich, wealthy, from one end of earth to the next, east to west, north to south, shall cry out from His triumphant entry, with ten thousands of angel by His side, "Oh let the stones fall on us, hide us from His presence".

Little People, there is hope, our day's a coming, and nothing will be as it was. No more tears, no more poor, homeless, sick or hungry. Let all the little people Praise the Lord.

SHALOM AND PEACE TO ISRAEL.
