Thank you all of Active Rain who sent a card or more importantly said a prayer. She is still with us and is defying the Doctor's prognosis... keep the prayers coming. To date, and they keep coming in... she has received over 160,000 cards! That's not a misprint... 160,000 and they are not going to keep counting, it has become a full time job just keeping up. So they have requested no more... they have been bowled over by the response of the community and the love of strangers/friends. Money is flowing in, gifts, cards, letters, whole school projects from all 50 states and many places in other parts of the world... she made the news on all the local channels as well... it's amazing. Please check her family's journal post on ...

I'm also including a beautiful painting done by a well known local artist, Mary Charles, depicting the cards coming in... it's cute and Thank you , thank you, thank you. May Jesus bless you for your hearts for Hannah the banana.... as her Aunt calls her.

End Abortions!

How could this fix our economy? How could this create more jobs? How could this stop war? How could this cure cancer?

By allowing this to continue, we are sowing: the end to our future rewards. We are reaping judgement. Judgement is not a negative per se, it only means to come to a decision. When God sees we are killing those He brought to reward us, He can't bring His blessings, how can He, we're killing them. So my point, end abortion as a law, our blessings will return. What do we have to lose by trying this? Let's look at facts...

Since Roe V Wade has become law, almost 50 million babies have been killed. They are human babies, a simple look at a 4D Ultrasound will prove that. It is murder. It is snuffing out a life with no GOOD reason. 50 Million American lives. I won't bother putting that in perspective as to casualties of war or such. It stands by itself as a very large number. It has become all too common.

The only valid argument I've ever heard for abortion is- What about rape and incest? The figures I've seen state that less than 1/10 of 1 percent of pregnancies were a result of that. That's 50,000 out of 50,000,000. The question I've never heard asked to those who believe this is: Is killing the baby getting rid of the pain of the rape? Of course it doesn't. It only ends the reminder of that event. That reminder could have been the one that God put the gift to cure cancer within. The majority of trauma is psychological and then you add in killing a baby who had no choice in the matter?? How exactly will that help? The answer is it won't, it is a short term solution to a long term problem that will only be compounded by having an abortion.

We will never know who we may have lost because of abortion. Maybe one who would discover a new and renewable energy source? Maybe one who would cure cancer? Maybe one

Psalm 127:3 - Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.

We are killing our future... our rewards. it is that simple.

OK, here's the real reason why we are in this business... TO SERVE PEOPLE!

Not to drive the most impressive car, not to have the biggest home in the area, not to have several homes and timeshares and all the stuff, not to receive the best plaque or recognition for most sales or listings.... just watch, I think this sums up what people desire from us ... no matter what business you are in.

My New Year's celebration was just awesome and we spent it as a family with the great family of MorningStar Fellowship in Fort Mill, SC. There was a lot going on there. But mostly it was a good feeling about the coming year.

This may not coincide with what we hear in the news, so in this new year of 2009 I'm resolved to tune out the news. All the news I can except the Good News.

I heard it likened to driving a car along a freeway, you spot something over on the side and you turn your head to see. Before you know it your hands on the wheel veer ever so slightly in that direction, not much but enough for your passenger to notice and ask "What were you looking at?" That's what the news media does to us. We should keep our eyes on the goals and not be distracted by the news which is mostly bad and paralyzing. Someone in the media discovered years ago that bad news sells. That's the main reason for it being given prominence. It SELLS! (With thanks to Charles Stock)

Hebrews 2

Warning to Pay Attention

1We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 3how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. 4God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

What we have heard is the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ. If you keep your eyes focused on Him this year, I guarantee it will be your best year ever! Help bring the Kingdom of God to earth and you will be BLESSED!

Happy New Year!
