He Is God > Inspirational

~He Is God~

He is the First and Last,
The Beginning and the End!

He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be ...
unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!

He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
The world can't understand him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him, The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him,  and The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him, Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and "Oprah" can't explain Him away!

He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.

His ways are right,
His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me.
He is my Savior,
He is my guide, and He is my peace!
He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
He is my Lord, and He rules my life!

I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.

I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
the power of the powerful,
the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and is to come. And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.

His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
never forsake me,
never mislead me,
never forget me,
never overlook me and
never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!

When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
  When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!

He is everything for everybody everywhere, every time, and every way.

He is God, He is faithful. I am His, and He is mine!

My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...

He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side,
and that means all is well with my soul.
 

Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!

   

PASS THIS ON IF YOU BELIEVE IT...

I love the Lord and thank Him for all that He has done in my life; therefore I'm passing this on.

Texas Rancher

A man owned a small ranch near San Antonio. The Texas Labor Department got a tip that he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an investigator out to interview him. "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the investigator. "Well," replied the rancher, "there's my ranch hand who's been with me for three years. I pay him $1200 a week plus free room and board. "The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $1000 per week plus free room and board. "Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board. But, I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night, and he also sleeps with my wife occasionally." "That's the guy I want to talk to... the half-wit," says the investigator. "That would be me," replied the rancher.

Really cool

For those of a certain era !!!!!!!! We Didn't Start the Fire     This song & it's title was answer to one of last week's Final Jeopardy  -- only one person got it right.  Question was (paraphrased) "What 1980's song do history teachers   praise for its educational value?"      I never could understand all the references on Billy Joel's song -- fortunately, with this VIDEO, given the picture(s), we now can "see" what our "ears" couldn't. Anyway, have you ever checked to see the purpose behind the song?     Apparently, it's Joel's homage to the 40-years of historical headlines since his birth (1949).     Wish we could have appreciated the depths of this song when it was released.  Twenty years later, it's amazing what Joel was able to put into music and lyrics lasting only a few minutes.  Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember his great song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire..'    Here it is, set to pictures... . It's a neat flashback through the past half century. I never did know all the words.  Turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in  less than 3 minutes! Thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the University of  Chicago  with a lot of spare  time and Google .  Top left gives you full screen....top right lets you pause.  Bottom left shows the year.  The older you are, the more pictures you will recognize.  Anyone over age 65 should remember over 90% of what they see. But it's great at any age.      click below      We Didn't Start The Fire <http://yeli.us/Flash/Fire.html>

THE MONKEY STORY

Secret Service Uncovers Plot. . . .

THIS IS DOWNRIGHT SCARY!!!  Secret Service Uncovers Plot. . .

This is just another of several attempts. Maybe it will eventually work!

This is an amazing story. The secret service yesterday uncovered a plot by a group of neo-nazis to kidnap and hold for ransom, the President of the United States .  As is often the case, it was just lucky that a secret service man was in the area and discovered the plot before this dastardly mission was carried out.  Who knows what turmoil the country would have been thrown into if these hoodlums had been successful.   Secret Service uncovers plot to kidnap the President.       OH, LIGHTEN UP.....  I KNOW YOU'RE LAUGHING!

Chrysler Story

News Flash, as if we never suspected corruption at the highest level....
 

Chrysler--A?Very Dirty? Story Sooner or later it will all come to light! This could be a scandal of epic proportions and one that makes Nixon's Watergate or Clinton 's Monica Lewinsky affair pale by comparison. Why was there neither rhyme nor reason as to which dealerships of the Chrysler Corporation were to be closed? Roll the clock back to the weeks just before Chrysler declared bankruptcy. Chrysler, like GM, was in dire financial straits and federal government "graciously" offered to "buy the company" and keep them out of bankruptcy and "save jobs." Chrysler was, in the words of Obama and his administration,? "Too big to fail," same story with GM. The feds organized their "Automotive Task Force" to fix Chrysler and GM. Obama, in an act that is 100% unconstitutional, appointed a guy named Steve Rattner to be the White House's official Car Czar - literally, that's what his title is. Rattner is the liaison between Obama, Chrysler, and GM. Initially, the national media reported that Chrysler 'had made this list of dealerships'. Not true! The Washington Examiner, Newsmax, Fox News and a host of other news agencies discovered that the list of dealerships was put together by the "Automotive Task Force" headed by no one other than Mr. Steve Rattner. Now the plot thickens. Remember earlier we said that there was neither rhyme nor reason why certain dealerships were closed? Actually there's a very interesting pattern as to who was closed down. Again, on May 27, 2009, The Washington Examiner and Newsmax exposed the connection. Amazingly, of the 789 dealerships closed by the federal government, 788 had donated money, exclusively to Republican political causes, while contributing nothing to Democratic political causes. The only "Democratic" dealership on the list was found to have donated $7,700 to Hillary's campaign, and a bit over $2,000 to John Edwards. This same dealership, reportedly, also gave $200.00 to Obama's campaign. Does that seem a little odd to you? Steve Rattner is the guy who put the list together. Well, he happens to be married to a Maureen White. Maureen happens to be the former national finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As such, she has access to campaign donation records from everyone in the nation- Republican or Democrat. But of course, this is just a wacky "coincidence," we're certain. Then comes another really wacky "coincidence." On that list of dealerships being closed down, a weird thing happened in Arkansas , North Louisiana, and Southern Missouri . It seems that Bill Clinton's former White House Chief of Staff, Mack McClarty, owns a chain of dealership in that region, partnered with a fellow by the name of Robert Johnson. Johnson happens to be founder of Black Entertainment Television and was a huge Obama supporter and financier. These guys own a half dozen Chrysler stores under the company title of RLJ-McClarty-Landers. Interestingly, none of their dealerships were ordered closed - not one! While all of their competing Chrysler/Dodge and Jeep dealership were! Eight dealerships located near the dealerships owned by McClarty and Johnson were ordered shut down. Thus by pure luck, these two major Obama supporters now have virtual monopoly on Chrysler sales in their zone. Isn't that amazing? Go look in The Washington Examiner, the story's there, and it's in a dozen or so other web-based news organizations; this isn't being made up. Now if you thought Chrysler was owned by Fiat, you are mistaken. Under the federal court ruling, 65% of Chrysler is now owned by the federal government and the United Auto Workers union! Fiat owns 20%. The other 15% is still privately owned and presumably will be traded on the stock market. Obama smiles and says he doesn't want to run the auto industry. As horrifying as this is to comprehend, and being as how this used to be the United States of America , it would appear that the president has the power to destroy private businesses and eliminate upwards of 100,000 jobs just because they don't agree with his political agenda. This is Nazi Germany stuff, and it's happening right here, right now, in our back yard. There are voices in Washington demanding an explanation, but the "Automotive Task Force" has released no information to the public or to any of the senators demanding answers for what has been done. Keep your ear to the ground for more on this story. If you've ever wanted to make a difference about anything in your life, get on the phone to your national senator or representative in the House and demand an investigation into this. Benjamin Franklin had it right when he said, "All that's necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Car Czar No More An amazing thing happened as this story was going to press. Obama's Car Czar, Steve Rattner, resigned on July 13 and was promptly replaced by former steel workers union boss Ron Bloom. According to CBS News, Rattner left "to return to private life and spend time with his family." Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said, "I hope that he takes another opportunity to bring his unique skills to government service in the future." By the way, Rattner is under investigation for a multi-million dollar pay-to-play investment bank scandal in New York .... Uh-oh! But, we're certain that had nothing to do with his resignation. And, according to several news sources out there, there are rumors he's being investigated for what could be pay-to-play scandal involving the closing of Chrysler and GM dealerships. Really? Again, that couldn't have anything to with his resignation-that's ridiculous! Like CBS said, this guy just wants to "spend more quality time with his family." Obama has 32 personally appointed "czars" who answer to no one but him, all of whom are acting without any Constitutional authority. But hey, we're sure they all have "unique skills,"......as Tim Geithner likes to say! SOOOOO.HOWS THE CHANGE WORKING FOR YOU?.. Check it out at the following websites..... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/Furor-grows-over-partisan-car-dealer-closings-46261447.html? <?http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Obamas-auto-policy-All-in-the-Democratic-family-44414452.html?>http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Obamas-auto-policy-All-in-the-Democratic-family-44414452.html? This goes beyond corruption in high places - to gross criminal actions on the part of our government! I hope you will spread this far and wide, and hopefully the taxpaying public will demand some of that transparency we were promised......followed by criminal prosecution of the perpetrators! What a crooked government, we have!!!!!? Vote 'em all out...November, 2010!

It's a-comin'...............

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the passenger lounge in the Bozeman, Montana airport, while waiting for their respective flights. One is an American Indian passing through from Lame Deer, another is a Cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show, and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at Montana State University from the Middle East.... Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures.  Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, tips his big sweat-stained hat forward ov er his face, and lights a cigarette.   Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, 'At one time here... my people were many... but sadly, now we are few.' The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward, 'Once my people were few,' he sneers, 'and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?'   The cowboy removes his cigarette from his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl...  'I reckon that's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, But I do believe it's a-comin'.'

 

One Heckova Video (wow!) BE PREPARED

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE AND UPLIFTING VIDEOS (CLICK/PASTE ON LINK BELOW) I'VE SEEN – IT IS GRAPHIC BUT SO WORTHY OF WATCHING.

This video is a reminder to me that I have done nothing to deserve or be entitled to being born and living in the United States of America.  I enjoy all of the many blessings of liberty because of men and women such as these, now and in the past.  All I can say is, "Thank you, God".

 

This will grip you!!!

        Please read the story below and click on the web site at the end.
Amazing.

        Just a reminder that we have military persons in very dangerous
places, doing dangerous things...Remember to pray for them

        The story is about Channing Moss, who was impaled by a live RPG
during a Taliban ambush while on patrol. Army protocol says that medivac
choppers are never to carry anyone with a live round in him. Even though
they feared it could explode, the flight crew said damn the protocol and
flew him to the nearest aid station. Again, protocol said that in such a
case the patient is to be put in a sandbagged area away from the surgical
unit, given a shot of morphine and left to wait (and die) until others are
treated. Again, the medical team ignored the protocol. Here's a short video
put together by the Military Times, which includes actual footage of the
surgery where Dr. John Oh, a Korean immigrant who became a naturalized
citizen and went to West Point , removed the live round with the help of
volunteers and a member of the EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) team. Moss
has undergone six operations but is doing well at home in Gainesville , GA.
I think you'll find the video absolutely remarkable.

High School Reunion

When you read this, you will understand WHY I DETEST A LIAR!!!!!! This did bring tears, sorry!

Arleen

HIGH SCHOOL REUNION   Rachel, Clare and Samantha haven't seen each other since High School. They rediscover each other via a reunion website and arrange to meet for lunch in a wine bar. Rachel arrives first, wearing beige Versace. She orders a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Clare arrives shortly afterward, in gray Chanel. After the required ritualized kisses she joins Rachel in a glass of wine. Then Samantha walks in, wearing a faded old tee-shirt, blue jeans and  boots. She too shares the wine.  Rachel explains that after leaving high school and graduating from Princeton in Classics, she met and married Timothy, with    whom she has a beautiful daughter. Timothy is a partner in one of New York 's leading law firms. They live in a 4000 sq ft co-op on Fifth Avenue , where Susanna, the daughter, attends drama school. They have a second home in  Phoenix . Clare relates that she graduated from Harvard Med School and became a surgeon. Her husband, Clive, is a leading Wall Street investment banker. They live in Southampton on Long Island and have a second home in Naples , Florida . Samantha explains that she left school at 17 and ran off with her boyfriend, Ben. They run a tropical bird park in California and grow their own vegetables. Ben can stand five parrots, side by side, on his willy. Halfway down the third bottle of wine and several hours later, Rachel blurts out the her husband is a cashier at Walmart. They live in a small apartment in Brooklyn and have a travel trailer parked at a nearby a storage facility. Clare, chastened and encouraged by her old friend's honesty, explains that she and Clive are both nurses' aides in  a retirement home. They live in Jersey City and take vacation camping trips to Alabama . Samantha says that the fifth parrot has to stand on one foot.
