Swine Flu Quarantine Coming?

September 28th, 2009

A few weeks ago my wife was speculating that there would be a quarantine for “a swine flu outbreak” to get people off the streets. I just saw a commercial about how the Palm Beach County Health Department is handing out “My Flu Ready Shopping List” pamphlets  at grocery stores.

Interesting list and information. The point of it is to get people to take the flu shot and the swine flu shot. That alone is enough to start a flu epidemic. Let’s see how this all turns out.

NYT: Modern Women are Unhappy « owen strachan

Is it any wonder that one of the queens of feminism, Maureen Dowd rues the fact that feminism is not working.  I think the article is analyzed well. Feminism does not work because it has a failed view of authority.

Now I know what you are thinking, I am a man and I love for my wife to be submissive. But I too, have to submit… to my God, my boss, my pastor and even my worship leader! These are just some of the authorities I to which I must submit, as long as they do not cause me to commit sin, I must obey. Even if I think they are wrong, I still must submit!

Submission, I think, is never quite mastered. This is only for the fact that when you submit, you put away your pride! Yikes, that will hurt!

We all look at authority wrong. Those that have authority should never use it to be severe task masters or cause others to sin.  Today, authority is being abused as an opportunity to USE and OWN people! That is incorrect In God’s economy authority is responsibility! Practically and rightfully exercised, authority figures know they will give answer for their use of that authority. 

Authority and submission to it is meant to be a blessing. The one in authority, by properly exercising it, covers the ones who submit! This covering is meant to be a blessing! In other words, the person in charge protects those who submit to them!

It is amazing when we stray from God ordained authority, how things do not work. God’s plan is simple, obedience, that is the hard lesson we have to learn temporally.

Read Owen’s last paragraph, it says it all!

Gadhafi Exposes Obama Ineligibility?

September 28th, 2009

“WE AFRICANS ARE HAPPY, PROUD THAT A SON OF AFRICA GOVERNS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” HOW’S THAT AGAIN?

Rev. Austin Miles

There has been growing interest and speculation regarding the eligibility of The One who currently sits in The Oval Office. To be a presidential candidate, it is clearly explained in the Constitution that to even run for election for the high office, one must be a natural citizen of the United States, which means, being born here.  The ruling is so strict that one cannot even hold a dual citizenship and become President. Without intending to, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi let a cat out of the bag during his speech at the U.N.

All questions regarding the birthplace of Barack Obama have been shot down with heavy artillary. As reported, Obama himself has spent over a million dollars for lawyers to silence anyone who questions him or his press secretary and asks to see a copy of his birth certificate. Continue reading »

The Person of Christ

September 28th, 2009

This appeared in a tweet I received today. It is an interesting article that expounds on the deity and humanity of Jesus. There are numerous references to scripture throughout. It is a worthwhile read!

It is interesting to note… and reflect upon the fact that while the God of the universe, forever put on flesh… He will forever bear the marks of His purchase. Yet we are given temporal bodies and we mark them with sin, and when we repent of our sin and accept the finished work of Jesus, we are given an eternal PERFECT body!

Happy reading… by the way, the article is in a pdf file, so you can take it with you. And for those who already have the ESV Study Bible… it is in there, too!

Warning by Juval Aviv

September 28th, 2009

I just got an email about predictions by a security expert named Juval Aviv. I looked it up on snopes and wikipedia, who shared text and both called him a liar. He is supposed to be ex-mossad. Sources (Mossad and CIA) quoted by snopes and wikipedia say they never heard of him. The email has been going around since 2007, so the “within 90 days” part is probably not valid ;-)

TruthOrFiction said some of the email was false but on the whole it was good advice. The advice given is said to jibe with similar advice given an a government readiness site. Here is an excerpt:

There was an international security conference held in April of 2008 in New York hosted by the New York chapter of the AISIS Organization.  Although it is not certain that Juval Aviv gave a presentation at this conference there was an article published by Don Aviv of Interfor, Inc, called “Terrorism Vulnerability Assessments (TVAs):Statistical vs. ‘Real-World’ Models.” The article discusses the current terrorist threat situation and offers low cost anti terrorist tips for corporations.  Click for article

The Department of Homeland Security put up a Ready.Gov web site with resources to equip citizens with planning tools in the event of a disaster or attack which are pretty much in alignment to the emergency plan that Juval Aviv outlined.   Click for Ready.Gov website

About all I know for sure is we are living in interesting times. I am going to study the articles and plan accordingly if it is good advice. More later.
