Let's pray for our Caregivers today!! For all they do, and all they go thru. If you've a Caregiver in your family, perhaps today, you could give them a call...or drop by and bring them something to brighten their day- Offer to give them a break, run an errand, or just listen. Unless you've been a caregiver, you just dont know the burden they carry, or the guilt they feel when they become overwhelmed and distraught.

Tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. in the federal court serving Northern Florida, the first of three defendants charged with illegally praying (or merely encouraging prayer) over a meal will face Judge Casey Rodgers.

Michelle Winkler, a Santa Rosa County clerical assistant asked her husband to bless a meal at a privately sponsored "Employee of the Year" banquet held at a rented, off-campus facility well after school hours. But the prying eyes of the ACLU took note, and Michelle now faces stiff fines and censure!

Mrs. Winkler is charged with civil contempt, but her school's principal, Frank Lay, and its athletic director, Robert Freeman, face CRIMINAL charges before the same judge on September 17. All three defendants are subject to losing their jobs because of this. CONTINUED »

SB 572 would pressure every California public school to have an official Harvey Milk Day promoting the homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual agenda to children as young as kindergarten. This legislation is written so broadly that it could allow gay-pride parades on campus, cross-dressing, and homosexual marriage dramas, etc. It's all going to come down to how much pressure California's governor feels. Last year the Democrat-controlled Legislature passed Harvey Milk Gay Day, but Schwarzenegger vetoed it.

This year, Schwarzenegger is being lobbied more heavily by homosexual activists. Sean Penn, who played Harvey Milk on the big screen, and Milk's homosexual activist nephew, have both lobbied Schwarzenegger to ask him to sign SB 572. This year there are four more Democrats in the Assembly voting for Harvey Milk Gay Day. And for the first time Republican Senator Abel Maldonado is supporting this anti-traditional family value bill.

If you are against this. Call Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at 916-445-2841. Listen to the recorded message and press in the following order:
1 (English)
2 (legislation)
1 (SB 572)
2 (against)

Financial Peace University (FPU), the 13-week program taught by Dave Ramsey, has helped more than 750,000 families positively change their financial future.

FPU is available for churches, companies, military bases, financial literacy programs, Spanish speaking organizations and community groups. FPU classes will be held in Fillmore at:

Faith Community Church located at 355 D Street in Fillmore. The classes will begin Wednesday, September 02, 2009 at 7:00 PM. Contact David MacDonald at (805)290-5009 or macdaddy24@sbcglobal.net for more information or to register.

As they work on a Total Money Makeover, the average family pays off $5,300 in debt and saves $2,700 in the first 91 days after beginning FPU and is completely out of debt, except for the mortgage, in 18 to 24 months. “We’ve actually relieved ourselves of over $50,000 worth of debt in two years just from using these principles,” said Russ Lee, former FPU participant.

I received this today:
please pray for Margie and her family. Last night, her son stabbed his wife to death in front of their children. May God send His angels to comfort and protect the children. May God bless Margie and her family with strength, courage, love and peace as they deal with this horrific situation. In Jesus name I ask. AMEN!!

Thank you for your prayers.

Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) have called for the release of seven Baha’i leaders who may face trial tomorrow, July 11, 2009, in Tehran.
Ms. Saberi stated, in a letter to the Commission, “The seven Baha’is, along with at least 20 other Baha’is imprisoned across Iran, are not threats to Iran’s national security but are being held because of their beliefs and peaceful activities on behalf of the Baha’i community. They have been willing to cooperate with Iran’s Shiite Islamic regime, but they refuse to surrender to pressure to abandon their beliefs, knowing that the decisions they make could have far-reaching implications for the estimated 350,000 Baha’is and other religious minorities in Iran.”

Saberi was imprisoned in Evin, where the seven Baha’is are currently being held, for nearly four months before she was released as a result of significant international pressure.

According to its statement, the Commission is appealing to the Iranian government to take similar action and release the Baha’is: “The charges against these imprisoned Baha’is are baseless and a pretext for the persecution and harassment of a disfavored religious minority. They should be released immediately,” said USCIRF Chair Leonard Leo. “USCIRF urges the President and other leaders in the international community to speak out and call for the release of the seven Baha’i leaders, as the President did for Miss Saberi. These prisoners are in jail solely because of their religious identity, and have not been afforded any due process or direct access to legal representation.” CONTINUED »

We just learned that our Will, Karen and Bill's son, was down at the river and dove into a sandbar, so far we know he's broken a vertebrae in his neck, he has full movement in his arms legs. He's at Gritman Memorial waiting to see if a surgeon is available at St. Josephs in Lewiston, if not they'll transport him to Spokane for surgery. Our hearts are heavy, but we trust in the Lord to see him through.
Please keep Will Robert Gillespie in your prayers. We'll keep you posted.
Thank you, Bob & Carol

I have fond memories of the 4th of July going back to when I was probably only four or five years old. We remember the parades, the picnics or barbecues, and the happy gathering of families. During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain actually took place on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve the resolution of independence previously put forth by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia. After debate and revision Congress approved the Declaration of Independence on July 4th.

Of note is the letter John Adams, one of only two Founding Fathers who went on to become president, wrote to his wife Abigail:

"…This day ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward forever more." (Adams Family Papers: An Electronic Archive. Massachusetts Historical Society) CONTINUED »

President Barack Obama said in Turkey : "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."
