"Daily Motivations"
Taking time for yourself should never be seen as a burden. Not on you, and not on anyone else. -- Elizabeth Franklin
"Daily Devotions" (KJV and/or NLT)
"Let everyone in the world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of Him." (Psalm 33:8)
If we could just grasp even a part of the magnificent holiness of God, then the whole earth would shake with people falling to the ground in worship and adoration of Him. Such a view would precipitate a healthy fear of God, which is the necessary starting point.
True knowledge of God's holiness always elicits a worshipful response from us. Moses fell to his face before the burning bush. Isaiah said, "Woe is me!" (Isaiah 6:5). We cannot stand in the presence of God without acknowledging His holiness and seeing our own sin.
Whenever I meditate on the holiness of God, I am impressed with how worthy He is of our worship. I want to become absorbed with His holiness, rather than with His might, His wisdom, or His other magnificent attributes.
As we meditate on God's supreme holiness, we cannot help but be overcome with a sense of awe. Music can help us express our awe for our Lord. Many of the Christian hymns capture the spirit of worship. I encourage you to select one of them, such as Holy, Holy, Holy,or Agnus Dei and begin to worship God right now.
When we concentrate on God's holiness---His moral perfection and absolute purity---the only appropriate response is humble adoration, which is the basis for all worship.
"The Patriot Post"
"The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families. ... How is it possible that Children can have any just Sense of the sacred Obligations of Morality or Religion if, from their earliest Infancy, they learn their Mothers live in habitual Infidelity to their fathers, and their fathers in as constant Infidelity to their Mothers?" -- John Adams
"'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it,' Solomon tells us. Clearly, the future is in the care of our parents. Such is the responsibility, promise and hope of fatherhood. Such is the gift that our fathers give us. Our fathers bear an awesome responsibility -- one that they shoulder willingly and fulfill with a love that asks no recompense. By turns both gentle and firm, our fathers guide us along the path from infancy to adulthood. We embody their joy, pain and sacrifice, and inherit memories more cherished than any possession. On Father's Day each year, we express formally a love and gratitude whose roots go deeper than conscious memory can recite. It is only fitting that we have this special day to pay tribute to those men -- our natural fathers, adoptive fathers and foster fathers -- who deserve our deepest respect and devotion. It is equally fitting, as we recall the ancient and loving command to honor our fathers, that we resolve to do so by becoming ourselves parents and citizens who are worthy of honor." -- Ronald Reagan
"[F]or years, mainstream liberalism and other outposts of paranoid Bush hatred have portrayed neoconservatives -- usually code for conservative Jews and other supporters of Israel -- as an alien, pernicious cabal. 'They have penetrated the culture at nearly every level from the halls of academia to the halls of the Pentagon,' observed the New York Times.. '...They've accumulated the wherewithal financially (and) professionally to broadcast what they think over the airwaves to the masses or over cocktails to those at the highest levels of government.' NBC's Chris Matthews routinely used the word 'neocon' as if it was code for 'traitor.' He asked one guest whether White House neocons are 'loyal to the Kristol neoconservative movement, or to the president?' [Holocaust Museum shooter James] Von Brunn may have wondered the same thing, which is why he reportedly had the offices of Bill Kristol's 'Weekly Standard' on his hit list. Unhinged Bush-hater Andrew Sullivan insists that, 'The closer you examine it, the clearer it is that neoconservatism, in large part, is simply about enabling the most irredentist elements in Israel and sustaining a permanent war against anyone or any country who disagrees with the Israeli right.' Leading liberal intellectual Michael Lind warned about the alarming fact that 'the foreign policy of the world's only global power is being made by a small clique' of neoconservative plotters. Even with Bush out of the picture, some see the problem emerging again. Just this week, Jeremiah Wright, the president's longtime mentor and pastor, whined that, 'Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me.' Maniacs like von Brunn connect dots that aren't there because that's what paranoid anti-Semites do. What's the left's excuse?" -- National Review editor Jonah Goldberg

Christian Educators in Santa Rosa County Fight Back Against the ACLU
Liberty Counsel filed a motion to intervene on behalf of Christian Educators Association International (CEAI) in a lawsuit filed earlier this year by the ACLU against the Santa Rosa County School District. The ACLU filed suit, claiming some of the teachers and administration endorsed religion.
The School District attempted to settle the suit by joining with the ACLU and presenting the court with a Consent Order, which essentially bans all employees from engaging in prayer or religious activities, whether before, during, or after school hours.
Without any legal argument or briefing, the judge signed the order, but the order is so broad that it unconstitutionally infringes on the rights of teachers and administrators. The order also forces CEAI members to infringe upon the rights of students and other third parties.
Liberty Counsel is seeking to intervene on behalf of CEAI and will argue that the Consent Order is too broad and thus unconstitutional.

Cap and Trade Will Destroy American Economy
By Deanna Phillips
Seriously folks---we are in a world of hurt! Did you hear about the provision in the cap and tax bill about house inspections? Apparently, if you sell a house, not only do you have your regular inspections, but you also have a "green" inspector sent by the government. You can't sell your house until you meet all of the "green" requirements. Such as, replacing all light bulbs, replacing toilets with low flow toilets, replacing windows if needed, adding low flow shower heads with timed shut off switches, adding to insulation, etc. etc.!! People won't be able to afford to sell a house, they'll have to incorporate those costs into the sale price, the costs of houses will sky rocket, pushing more and more folks into government housing projects because they wont be able to afford a home. Frankly, I believe this ENTIRE green movement and cap and trade bill is some sort of evil conspiracy to cripple the US and push us into one world globalization. It is most certainly a power grab! The only way Democrats can maintain their power is to create more and more dependant folks. What about that is sooo hard for some people to see!!!???
Remember how Al Gore was in bed with the Chinese back during the Clinton/Gore campaigns? It was even joked about on late night talk shows. But he never peeped a word about this global warming crap until a couple of years after he lost the 2000 election. Now he has a company selling carbon offsets for Christ's sake! All I know is that I smell a rat and if we can't get the rest of our fellow Americans to wake up and fight, we're all going down!!
I've been reading the cap and trade bill from the link you sent http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h2454eh.txt.pdf.
FRIGHTENING! INFURIATING! Thinking I've read about as much of it as most folks in congress. This is truly the end of the US as we know it! Talk about living under extreme government control!!! America will no longer be the land of the free! I'll be celebrating the 4th with a heavy heart.

Documents: Sotomayor Led Charge Against Bork
http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/sotomayor_bork/2009/07/01/231206.html?s=al&promo_code=82A8-1
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Puerto Rican civil rights organization advised by Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor campaigned against seating conservative Robert Bork on the high court in the late 1980s, according to new documents that shed light on the group that's become a key focus of Republicans questioning Sotomayor's fitness to be a justice.
The Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund officially opposed Bork, whose nomination by President Ronald Reagan was rejected by the Senate in 1987, "because of the threat he poses to the civil rights of the Latino community," its president reported in one of several documents from the group that the Senate Judiciary Committee released Wednesday.
The 350-plus pages of material offer little evidence about Sotomayor's role in the cases and causes the organization, now known as LatinoJustice PRLDEF, took up while she served on its board from 1980 until 1992.
But Republicans quickly seized on them as full of "red flags" on Sotomayor, whose hearings are scheduled to begin July 13. A top aide to Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the senior Republican on the Judiciary panel, accused Sotomayor's allies of purposely withholding the documents in a bid to rush through Sotomayor's confirmation.
"This has all the hallmarks of a deliberate delay and an attempt to frustrate a thorough review of this important information," Stephen Boyd, Sessions' spokesman, said in a statement. "If these dilatory tactics continue, it will be increasingly more difficult for the hearing to go forward on July 13."
It's not atypical for records from a Supreme Court nominee's past to be released shortly before the start of confirmation hearings. The Judiciary panel got thousands of pages of material on Chief Justice John Roberts, for example, just before the opening of his hearings.
About six months later, in declining a request from Democrats for documents relating to Justice Samuel Alito's service at the Justice Department, the Bush administration argued that his decisions over 15 years on the federal bench "represent the best evidence of his judicial philosophy."
The new disclosures by PRLDEF catalog a wide range of discrimination lawsuits the group handled on behalf of Puerto Rican and other Hispanic minorities, including in the areas of voting, employment, housing and education. But the documents, which include minutes from board meetings Sotomayor attended while serving on the board and chairing its litigation committee, reveal no direct role by the federal appeals court judge in any of the cases or policy positions the PRLDEF took during her service there.
Republicans have criticized Sotomayor's participation in the group, which they say has taken radical positions and sought to gain racial preferences for Hispanics. They argue that her ties to the group, taken together with Sotomayor's statements about how her heritage shapes her views as a judge, raise doubts about whether she can be an impartial, colorblind justice.
Democrats counter that the group is a mainstream civil rights organization whose advocacy on behalf of the ethnic minority it represents is entirely appropriate.
They argue that the focus on PRLDEF's activities shows desperation on the part of the GOP, which has struggled to find its voice on Sotomayor, who would be the first Hispanic justice.
Her "critics must be getting desperate if they're grasping at straws like this," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., adding that senators should focus on Sotomayor's 17-year record as a judge rather than "fishing expeditions."
Sotomayor's allies also say she had no direct role in the cases the fund handled while she was on its board — even while chairing the board's litigation committee in the late 1980s. The documents reveal virtually nothing about her role on that panel.
Minutes from an October 1987 meeting quote Sotomayor as saying the committee was looking at past and present litigation efforts and "potential areas of emphasis" for the future, but the documents don't list any specific cases or issues she personally worked on.
GOP attorneys on the Judiciary Committee are scrutinizing the documents for any hint of bias they might reveal about Sotomayor. The attorneys point to the organization's opposition to Bork and its ties with the community organizing group ACORN — embroiled in voter registration complaints — as evidence that the group had a political agenda.
A summary of the group's 1987 activities reflects that it worked with ACORN to represent low-income Puerto Rican families in East New York who were banding together to ensure affordable housing in their area.
Democrats, meanwhile, were working to paint Sotomayor as a mainstream judge whose record runs counter to GOP charges that she's a liberal activist. Senate leaders circulated quotes from legal analysts saying that she follows precedent and shows restraint in her rulings.
“Cap-And-Trade” Tax Bill Narrowly Passes House"
Written by Thomas R. Eddlem
http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/component/content/article/1-latest/1306
“Cap-And-Trade” global-warming legislation that would — by President Barack Obama's own admission — “skyrocket” electricity rates as well as raise taxes on consumers narrowly passed the House of Representatives June 26 by a vote of 219-212. The legislation would levy new taxes and dramatic new regulations in order to cap carbon and other “greenhouse gas” emissions. Congressional Quarterly reported that eight Republicans who voted for the bill tipped the balance in favor of the legislation.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill would raise an additional “$845.6 billion over the 2010–2019 period” in higher taxes, which represents an average of more than $4,000 per household in America. However, neither proponents nor opponents of the bill claim to know the precise new cost of the legislation’s extensive regulatory burden. The regulatory costs are likely to dwarf the cost of new taxes.
Proponents of the bill claim that the groundbreaking new federal energy mandates about carbon emissions would create new jobs. “This is a jobs bill,” Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) told Congressional Quarterly. “It will create millions of new clean energy jobs in whole new industries with incentives to drive competition in the energy marketplace.” President Barack Obama said in a statement on House passage that “it will make possible the creation of millions of new jobs. Now, make no mistake — this is a jobs bill.”
However, those claims by Obama, Markey, and others are based upon the dubious notion that huge consumer and corporate energy bills will create niche markets for energy-efficiency companies in the long run. In the short run, higher energy costs would drive up costs of goods produced by American companies across the market, and could sweep American-made products (along with American jobs) from the market when they face foreign competitors producing with lower energy costs.
"Today's razor-thin vote in the House spells doom in the Senate," Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) told the Associated Press. Americans who want to avoid both higher taxes and what President Barack Obama admits will be “skyrocketing” utility bills should more than hope so.
Obama's EPA Hides Global Cooling Data
From: ConservativeActionAlerts.
A special message from AmeriPAC:
Obama's EPA Hides Global Cooling Data White House Global Warming Report Refuses to Include New Research on Global Cooling Still Blaming Carbon.
In an Obama administration June 16th report that contains no new research Obama intentionally scared the public with the grimmest, most urgent language on climate change ever to come out of any White House. Rising sea levels, sweltering temperatures, deeper droughts, and heavier downpours - blaming carbon for global warming's alleged serious effects and lying to the country to collect the Obama "Energy Tax" passed by the House before going on vacation.
But was the report complete? Did it have all the relevant data? NO!!!
Senate Million Fax Campaign - The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Bill Strategy (Obama PR-BS) is dumping unfinished bills without notice or time to read the details on the House and Senate floor for votes. We must STOP Obama PR-BS and get ready for the Senate Fight. To do this we want to have 1 Million Faxes ready to go and everyone ready to call their Senators.
OBAMA'S promise "I pledge. No family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase." Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, NOT ANY OF YOUR TAXES."
Select Below STOP THE OBAMA "Energy Tax" Bill NOW!
FAX All Senators Tell Them To STOP Obama's "Energy Tax"!

Now Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla has ordered an investigation into the Environmental Protection Agency's alleged suppression of a 98-page report, co-authored by EPA analyst Alan Carlin that
questioned the science behind global warming.
The report details how regulating gases like carbon dioxide WILLNOT reduce global warming. Carlin's report states that the information the EPA is using is out of date, and that even as
atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased, global temperatures have declined.
Inhofe said "He (Carlin) came out with the truth. They don't want the truth at the EPA," he's ordered an investigation. "We're going to expose it."
Carbon Dioxide DOES NOT Cause Global Warming
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) Data The Truth For seven and a half years, is that global temperatures have been falling rapidly. The UN IPCC's predicted warming path (pink region) bears no relation to the global cooling data that the IPCC has observed in the 21st century to date. Source: SPPI global temperature index.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Is Food For Plants not "Air Pollutant"
CO2 is not an "air pollutant," but rather food for plants and marine life. And its atmospheric levels are controlled by temperature and other biological/chemical variables -- not the other way around (Just as: Lung Cancer does not cause smoking). But most of all, a magical CO2 knob for controlling weather and climate simply does not exist.
The possible effect that forcing down CO2 levels may have on plants by reducing the food supply are catastrophic.
WHY BLAME CARBON DIOXIDE?
The Answer:
Democrats Are Using The Carbon Lie To Raise Taxes
Hiring Joe Legal versus Hiring Jose Illegal!!!
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2276816/posts
Here is an example of why hiring illegal aliens is not economically productive for the State of California ....You have 2 families..."Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California .. "Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted.... "Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has "NO" Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Joe Legal...$25.00 per hour x 40 hours $1000.00 per week, $52,000 per year Now take 30% away for state federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal...$15.00 per hour x 40 hours $600.00 per week, $31,200.00 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes... Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00
Joe Legal pays Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage $1000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal now has $19,231.00.
Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money is not eligible for Food Stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays for food. $1,000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal now has $ 7,231.00
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent. $1,000.00 per month [$12,000.00 per year]. Joe Legal is now in the hole minus (-) $4,769.00.
Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy. Jose Illegal pays rent. $500.00 per month (section 8 housing). $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $25,200.00.
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family (and eat out!).
Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored breakfast & lunch, and they also qualify to be "bused to school" at tax payer expense.
Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children have to find a way to get to school and go home after school as, "latch-key kids" with no adult supervision.
Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.
Jose Illegal can send most of his money back home to build a new home for retirement, and have money to buy a new truck (and still have Medi-Cal benefits while living in a foreign country; until someone turns him in to authorities....if they ever find out!!)
Joe will be lucky if he has any money for retirement, a new vehicle, medical/dental benefits, or a place to live.
I have done the math, all you have to do is to look at it yourself. Don't hire illegal aliens.....Don't vote for any politician that supports illegal aliens.....And most important of all, write your politicians and let them know how you feel
PS: You forgot, Jose illegal's wife claims "single, no head of Household" and collects additional benefits that Joe legal's wife cannot claim.
No wonder our country is in trouble!! Think about it!

Lord, They Are Finally Together
Three husbands, 25 children . . ...
Judy got married and had 13 children. Ted, her first husband, died of cancer.
She remarried, and she and Bob had seven more children. After 12 years of marriage, Bob was killed in a car accident.
Judy married yet again, and she had five more children with John.
Judy finally died, leaving behind 25 children.
Standing before her coffin, the preacher prayed for her. He thanked God for this very loving woman and said, "Lord, they are finally together."
Ethel leaned over and quietly asked her best friend, Margaret: "Do you think he means her first, second, or third husband?"
Margaret replied, "I think he means her legs, Ethel.”
Can you solve this puzzle?
You are riding on a beautiful white horse.
On your left side is a drop off.
On your right side are several ostriches being chased by a lion.
In front of you are four la rge gazelles that won't get out of your way
and you can't seem to overtake them.
Behind you is a stampede of horses.
What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation?
