I am speaking at the Kiwanis Club in San Clemente this Wednesday

did anyone konw all these facts? 

[linda]

  good luck on wednesday.  and no, i wasn't aware of some of the many facts you have shared with us.  thanks for taking the time to keep us aware and informed.  ~~linda~~

Postmodern Repercussion
Glen Caulkins - Author

Today we observe not a victory for the human race, but an unprecedented challenge for future generations—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying the ever-present need for Christian ethics, as well as change.
 
The world is very different now, for mankind has lost the mortal power to contain disease, poverty, and environmental repercussions. 

Humans are stripping planet earth at an unprecedented rate.  For more than twenty years we have been exceeding the Earth’s ability to continue to support our consumer lifestyle.  We are turning resources into waste faster than nature can turn waste back into resources.  Humanity’s ecological footprint — the demand people place on the natural world — is currently 25 percent greater than the planet’s annual ability to provide everything that mankind uses and in turn to recycle all human waste.

If current trends of over-fishing and pollution continue, by 2050 most food fish species face 90% depletion. In the last 100 years, 29% of edible fish and seafood species have declined by 90%. At this rate, by the year 2050, the inhabitants of earth will experience the devastating effects of mass pollution and a shortage of many resources

Understanding Acid Rain and the Price of Burning of Fossil Fuel

Acid rain contains nitric acid, carbonic acid, sulphuric acid, and formic acid. It changed the pH of the oceans:

REV 8:8-9 Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Scientists estimate that nearly 500 billion tons of carbon dioxide has been absorbed by the oceans since the start of the Industrial Revolution. That is more than a fourth of all the CO2 that humanity has emitted into the atmosphere. Eventually, 80% of all human-generated carbon dioxide is expected to find its way into the sea.

Scientists have conducted ocean acidification experiments in recent years; all have shown that acid rain slows coral growth rate and it dissolves the shells of marine snails. Even slightly acidified seawater is toxic to the eggs and larvae of some fish species. In others, including amberjack and halibut, it can cause heart attacks. Acidified waters also tend to asphyxiate animals that require a lot of oxygen, such as fast-swimming squid.

At the current rate of increase, ocean acidity is expected, by the end of this century, to be 2 1/2 times what it was before the Industrial Revolution began 200 years ago. Such a change would devastate many species of fish and other animals that have thrived in chemically stable seawater for millions of years.

Rev: 16:3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

Acid rain changed the pH of the rivers and lakes:

REV 8:10-11 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were an oil lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters. And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

Acid rain causes a cascade of effects that harm or kill individual fish, reduce fish population numbers, completely eliminate fish species from a body of water, and decrease biodiversity; it kills trees, crops and other vegetation, damages buildings and monuments, corrodes copper and lead piping, damages such man-made things as automobiles, reduces soil fertility and can cause toxic metals to leach into underground drinking water sources. Think of the effects it has on the human body! It can be difficult to balance the pH of people consuming water loaded with these acids.

Acid rain, acid fogs, and acid snow directly and indirectly affect our health. Breathing acid fogs can damage our respiratory system; acidic waters contain, higher than average levels of heavy metals, and caustic acids that tend to make the pH of the human body more acidic. Drinking acidic water can cause many serious diseases. All of the water we drink (including bottled, purified, reverse osmosis, and distilled waters) contain these acids.

Some of these acids are powerful dehydrating agents, so powerful that much of the damage they do to the human body is because they pull water even out of other molecules in chemical reactions.

Another problem which is caused by acid rain is that some poisonous (toxic) metals which are dissolved into the rain water can be absorbed by fruit, vegetables and sometimes even through the skin of animals we eat.

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

Global Warming

Rev 16: 8-9 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

Scientists attribute at least some of the past century’s 1-degree rise in global temperatures to the accumulation in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases, byproducts of power plants, automobiles and other fossil fuel-burning sources.

Besides disrupting normal climate zones, continued temperature rises will increase threats to human health. Global warming will cause dramatic climate changes that will cause melt backs of polar ice and the sea level to rise; it will increase the frequency and severity of major storms, floods, and droughts; it will facilitate and increase the spread of disease. 

Research shows that even a seemingly small rise in temperatures can produce a 10-fold increase in the mosquito population. Malaria epidemics have occurred in highland areas where cooler weather historically has kept down populations of disease-bearing mosquitoes.

In 2003, the World Health Organization issued a report that estimates global warming led to 150,000 premature deaths in 2000. Climate affects some of the most important diseases afflicting the world.

Understanding pH of the Human Body

Our bodies are alkaline by design and acid by function. Maintaining a balanced pH is essential for life, health, and vitality. Many leading biochemists and medical physiologists have recognized pH or acid/alkaline balance as the most important aspect of a balanced and healthy body. They have long known that the maintenance of an balanced alkaline pH is critical to cellular health. Scientists and doctors have also found that over 150 degenerative diseases are linked to high acidity.

We live and die at the cellular level. In order to understand pH balance, it is necessary to realize that all the 75 trillion cells of the human body are slightly acidic and must exist in a slightly alkaline environment (the body fluid) if they are to remain healthy and produce energy.

In contemporary Western society, diet/lifestyle-induced metabolic acidosis is more the rule than the exception. Normal adult humans eating Western diets have chronic, low-grade metabolic acidosis; the severity of which is compounded in part by the consumption of acid rain.

Most North Americans have degenerating bone structures. Our bone health crisis worsens each year, despite intensive public health and disease treatment efforts. Osteoporosis can be seen as a consequence of chronic metabolic acidosis, which robs us of our mineral reserves and impairs efforts to rebuild the bone matrix.

Initially, the acid load involves significant changes in the bone content of carbonate, sodium, and potassium, but not calcium. In early phase (fully compensated) acidosis, protons exchange with sodium and potassium, providing a “first line” of buffering defense. Chronic overproduction of acid (chronic metabolic acidosis) leads to depletion of the sodium and potassium buffers. When this occurs, calcium and magnesium cations, along with carbonate, become the major source of buffers. This means that when we see accelerated calcium and magnesium loss, there has been a prolonged period of excess acid production and depletion of critical sodium and potassium reserves.

Understanding Alkalinity and Mineral Assimilation

Minerals control our bodies to absorb and use vitamins.  A deficiency in just one mineral can have devastating effects on our health. In fact, many experts believe that 90% of sickness and disease may result from a mineral deficiency or mineral toxicity.

Minerals are important to our bodies because they help us build strong bones and muscles. Minerals help us to fight disease and build up our organs, muscles, bones, and blood against anything that can harm us. They also aid in the process of healing.

If only people were aware of what causes minerals to be assimilated or rejected, we could change the course of humanity. pH balance determines and limits mineral assimilation.

Every mineral has its own signature pH level that permits assimilation by your body. If we look at an atomic scale chart of elements, those at the lower end are capable of assimilation over a broader pH range. Those higher on the chart need a progressively narrower pH range to be assimilated.

Summarizing, if you are not balanced, your body will simply reject most minerals. Why is this relevant? Let's look at iodine as an example. High up on the atomic scale, it requires near perfect pH for its assimilation into the body. Iodine is required for a healthy thyroid gland. But our thyroid will receive no iodine unless the body pH is almost perfect. Thyroid deterioration has been connected to arthritis, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, depression, obesity, and fatigue.

In fact, up to 90 percent of all Americans have a magnesium deficiency. Magnesium deficiency is associated with many inflammatory and insulin resistant conditions and major diseases. They include diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, migraine and cluster headaches, and many more. Magnesium has been further depleted in plants by the use of potassium and phosphorus laden fertilizers which alter the plant's ability to uptake the mineral.

Unfortunately, there are still many practitioners who believe that the body can somehow miraculously and naturally balance its pH - as if we were living in nature drinking pristine water, eating wholesome raw foods and herbs, with small portions of cooked meat and fish. The truth is so far beyond this ideal.

Few people outside specialist circles are aware of the scale and severity of vitamin, mineral, and enzyme deficiency, or of what it means for individuals and for future generations.

When a woman gets pregnant, the fetus takes priority getting all the necessary alkaline minerals since the baby is born with the highest alkalinity.  However, when the mother has a mineral deficiency the embryo does not receive the minerals necessary for proper development.  Add chronic acidosis, a vitamin and enzyme deficiency to this scenario and consider what it means for our children.

It means the impairment of hundreds of millions of growing bodies and minds, and the lowering of national IQs.  It means wholesale damage to immune systems, obesity, and the deaths of more than a million children a year. It means 200,000 serious birth defects annually and the deaths of approximately 50,000 young women a year during pregnancy and childbirth. Furthermore, it means the large-scale loss of national energies, intellects, productivity, and growth.

In practice, vitamin, mineral, and enzyme deficiencies overlap and interact. Half of children with vitamin, mineral, and enzyme deficiencies are suffering from multiple deficiencies – adding up to an immeasurable burden on individuals, on health services, on education systems, and on millions of families caring for children who are disabled or mentally impaired.

[hcvanon]

What You Do Not Know Will Kill You

Compounding this dilemma is that we now have an inadequate mineral supply to the body due to the depletion of minerals in our agricultural land. We have mineral deficient soil, which creates mineral deficient produce and farm animals, which generates mineral deficient humans.

In 1926 Dr. William Albrecht tested 100 bushels of Kansas wheat for mineral content. Forty-two years later he tested the wheat from the same farm and found that it took nearly 1,000 bushels to equal the same mineral content of the original 100 bushes he tested in 1926.

Mineral levels in meat and milk have also plummeted over the last 60 years. Food is seen as something entirely separate from its means and source of production - so long as people follow a "balanced diet" reflecting a nutritionist's chart of proteins, carbohydrates and their daily fruit and vegetables official thinking is that all will be well. Little consideration is given to whether the nutritional quality of our food is affected by the manner the crops and animals from which it is derived are raised; and virtually no thought is given to the vitality of the soil.

Farming has gone through huge changes over the past 60 years.  There is a noted crucial development linked to the decline in vitamin, enzyme, and mineral levels in food - the use of chemical fertilizers to maximize crop yields, which replaces traditional methods for building soil fertility, such as rotations of different crops and livestock.

A healthy soil is made up of more than eroded geology - a spoonful can contain more bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes and other species than there are people on the planet. Artificial fertilizers and pesticides significantly reduce the numbers of these microscopic soil inhabitants. A 21-year field trial comparing organic and non-organic farming showed dramatic differences in soil microbiology, with populations 85% higher in the organically managed field than in that treated with artificial chemicals.

The foundations for a healthy diet are laid back at the farm: in the health of the crops and livestock and, fundamentally, in the health of the soil upon which they are raised.

SmartFresh is a technology to maintain fresh-picked quality of whole fruits and vegetables. SmartFresh (1-Methylcyclopropene) works with the ripening process to dramatically slow down ethylene production and prevent over-ripening and problems associated with aging. The method came under scrutiny by the press during late 2005, and it was revealed that the method is occasionally used to inhibit ripening of fruit by even a year, causing consumers to purchase year-old fruit without being aware of it.

Adding to this scenario is that most of the produce we eat is picked before it is ripe; these underdeveloped fruits and vegetables are deficient in enzymes, vitamins, and minerals.  Vegetables lose some vitamins just by sitting around. It can take weeks from the time they've been picked until they reach our plate. By this time, 10 to 50 percent of the less stable nutrients may have disappeared. When many of these green fruits and vegetables reach the market they are artificially ripened by placing them in a room and exposing them to high concentrations of ethylene gas (because they were picked so green they do not ripen well on their own).

An obvious reason for this is convenience for the producer and transporter: unripe fruit is hard and when cooled properly, will keep for weeks or even months; ripe fruit is vulnerable and must be sold within hours.

When we cook vegetables in water some of the nutrient content, especially water-soluble vitamins, including vitamins B and C, and some of the minerals leach into the surrounding water. Cooking vegetables at high temperatures and long cooking times degrades vitamins that are more sensitive to heat.

When we cook meat and vegetables all of the enzymes are destroyed. Enzymes are the energy of life.  They are catalysts which participate in virtually every bodily process, and when we have a shortage of enzymes it can cause a variety of illnesses. Enzymes are responsible for constructing, synthesizing, carrying, dispensing and delivering the many ingredients and chemicals our body uses in its daily business of living.

The modern diet consists predominately of enzyme-deficient cooked foods. Most Americans eat too few raw organic fruits and vegetables. Enzymes are destroyed when food is processed, canned or cooked. Supplementation of fresh super foods high in enzymes can replace some of the enzymes lost in cooking and enhance those found in raw foods.

Most of the food we eat is low in minerals, low in vitamins, and low in enzymes. These foods are making their way into our homes and kitchens where they are further put to death and then fed to our already acidic and malnourished families.

Why do so many people overeat and have weight problems? -- They are starving to death.

Understanding Chemical Pollution

Chemical pollution is also harming the brains of millions of children. The world is bathed in a noxious mix of industrial chemicals which are damaging the intellectual potential of the next generation and may increase the incidence of conditions such as Parkinson's disease.

One in every six children has a developmental disability, such as autism, attention deficit disorder or cerebral palsy, the effects of which may be life-long.

The role of low-level pollutants, such as lead and mercury, on the growing brain has been recognized for decades and measures taken to reduce exposure to a minimum. But scientists from the Harvard School of Public Health, say at least 202 chemicals are known to have the capacity to damage the brain and their effects at low levels of exposure are unknown. They say limits for exposure to chemicals should be set for pregnant women and young children, recognizing the unique sensitivity of the developing brain, which is much more susceptible to the toxic effects of chemicals.

These damage assessment exercises confirm that we are dealing with global problems of enormous importance that are as yet little recognized.

A turn for the worse!

Crime, violence, drug abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, and other corrosive factors are escalating exponentially.  This insanity is being roused by the television, movie, and music industries which are making billions of dollars promoting unbridled orgies of murder, dismemberments, shootings, stabbings, and gigantic explosions in a never-ending series of explicit acts implying that adultery, fornication, and homosexuality are not only acceptable—but worthy goals.

The United States has one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases of all industrialized countries in the world.  Sexually transmitted diseases affect one in four U.S. citizens over a lifetime.  These numbers reveal that one out of every four people in the U.S. is at risk for HIV at one point in their lives.  As of September 2000, more than 65 million Americans are infected with one or more STD's and over 57 million Americans have an incurable STD. There are an estimated 15 million new infections annually, a quarter of them among teenagers. It is just a matter of time before major illnesses reach a critical level.

Get to know the facts.  Chlamydia is currently the most common STD, and now there is LVG Chlamydia which is incredibly hard to diagnose.  Health officials estimate that more than 50 percent of sexually active women and men will be infected with one or more types of genital warts in their lifetimes.  An estimated 56 million Americans have an incurable viral STD other than HIV.  There are over 15 million new cases of STD's in the U.S. each year.  Around the world, over 100 million persons contract an STD annually.  Add to this another 5 million intravenous drug users at high-risk for HIV around the world.

To add to the chaos, we have the money-hungry food industry creating and mass-marketing products that are not fit for human consumption.  Compounding this "poison-for-profit" mentality is the fact that sloth, gluttony, and unhealthy choices are now at epidemic levels.

Dangerous concepts, ludicrous opinions, and propaganda are being instilled in the minds of our children by bad example and neglect.  Many kids grow up eating fast food, junk food, processed foods, soda pop, and candy.  An astounding number of today’s children are out of shape and overweight.  It is very likely that most children in America are undernourished and dehydrated.  More of today’s kids will die of complications from the unhealthy foods and beverages they consume than they will from tobacco, drugs, and alcohol.  Behavioral problems, depression, and mental illness are significantly linked to malnutrition.

Parents and children are being overwhelmed by the media.  Our government exploits the gullibility and lack of moral fiber of the average citizen; having absolute control of mass-communication media, they pound us with propaganda, bad news, opinions, and lies to keep us in a state of chronic, low-grade-emergency paranoia.  This partisan media is brainwashing millions of people, keeping them naive and unaware.

And yet many of our children tend to have huge egos with underdeveloped minds, poor manners, and their diets filled with bad food.  They are victims of mass marketing and seductive subliminal messages.  Their values have been deflated by voracious materialistic marketing strategies.
 
Whenever children see their parents or other role models living unwholesome lives, they unconsciously store up hypocritical memories that influence their outlook on life.  Many of these children idolize steroid-injecting athletes or anorexic models and actresses, yet are embarrassed by their parents’ physique, and they are frequently ashamed of their own bodies.  About a third of American youngsters are unfit.  Overweight and out of shape children are often ridiculed; being fat is not only physically unhealthy – it is also mentally and emotionally devastating.  Overweight and unfit parents are more likely to produce overweight and unfit kids.

The percentage of overweight young people in the United States has roughly tripled since 1980 to about 18 percent. Children with risk factors for heart disease, including high cholesterol and diabetes, are showing signs of narrowing and hardening of the arteries, conditions normally associated with adults.

Education is more than the mere gaining of academic knowledge, therefore, parents, teachers, and other role models must be committed to creating an environment in which they can teach by example, rather than by lecture alone. Exemplifying the doctrine being taught will more effectively cultivate the qualities of physical health, character, integrity, responsibility, creativity, leadership, and excellence in every facet of life.

We dare not forget today that we are victims of secular democracy.  The American church was stripped of the right to freedom of speech in 1954, when Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson encouraged the U.S. Senate to pass by a voice vote a major tax code revision.

In 1954 it became law that every nonprofit organization (including churches) may not engage in substantial lobbying and their leaders cannot make any statements in support of or in opposition to any particular candidate or party, or conduct any other activity designed to reflect a preference or recommendation for any political party or candidate.

At the time, few people recognized the seemingly minor attachment as a major development in the American political or religious communities. Yet, the relationship between God and government had been significantly altered -- power and control was given to the enemy.

As it is, all of our religious leaders and establishments are forced to silently watch candidates make a mockery of their respective doctrines. Progressive groups like the ACLU use Johnson’s law to blackmail our religious leaders into silence. America can no longer solve many of its problems because the nation has lost its moral bearings and thus its standards by which to measure potential solutions.
 
Those who participate in chronically cynical, covetous, and self-centered behavior claim that moral issues and the future of humanity are irrelevant compared to one's pocketbook.

It’s time to stand up to these megalomaniacs.  We need to unite the American Christian churches and reinstate the first amendment.  This will empower the disciples of Jesus Christ to articulate and act in ways that reflect His character.

We have too many malnourished, unfit, and uneducated leaders, false prophets, and disciples in our ranks to stop the secular fundamentalism, anti-Christian bigotry, ludicrous laws, and heresy. There are too many counterfeit stakeholders in the fight, and it is impossible to make genuine progress until they are identified and educated or rooted out.

Not many people realize that we are experiencing little progress in the battle against ignorance, misinformation, and propaganda, and no progress in the improvement of the overall health of future generations.

Knowledge about prevention and mitigation of health concerns is limited. There are scores of malnourished, sick and out-of-shape preachers, elders, doctors, health experts, fitness trainers, life coaches, and the like.

These misinformed people who preach Christian ethics in such testimonies of spiritual health and wellness rarely have anything to show at a personal level to prove the practicability of their solutions.

In the meantime, few people are taking the time to educate children about fundamental issues on health, logic, wisdom, common sense, Christian ethics and values.

It is time that we take an honest look at the kind of enemy we are fighting. It is time we realize that misinformation, propaganda, bad food, contaminated water, and unhealthy choices are creating illness, hopelessness, quiet resignation, and despair in the lives of many of our fellow Americans.

The human race cannot successfully continue on this path. However, one of the main challenges in the fight today (against the effects of pollution, mass marketing, propaganda, and greed) is that there are so many deceived people in our midst who are, despite their messages, actually impeding efforts on the battlefront.

Interdependent We Stand

1. As Individuals we place our relationship with God first.  Our common bond has to be God.

2. We put our personal lives and ourselves second.  This does not mean self-centeredness; it means that when we take care of our personal needs first, then we can better serve our fellow human beings.

3. We put our relationship with others third.  When our personal lives are in order, it paves a way to do God's work more effectively and honorably.

Envision the Solution 

1. As a country we place our relationship with God first.

2. We put our country and the people of the United States second. We need to unite the Christian Churches, educate our people, and take control of our government. This does not mean self-centeredness; it means that when we take care of our own country’s needs first, then we can better serve the world.
   
3. We put our relationship with other countries third.  When our country is stable and our children are educated, safe, and secure, it paves a way to do God's work more effectively and honorably.
 
By spending our time, resources, and energy trying to fix the world; we have undermined the future of the world. Our country is going to hell in a hand bag, and we have lost control of our own government.  At this rate the children of the United States do not stand a chance to live healthy lives, not alone help make the world a better place.

Scores of people have allowed themselves to become handicapped by ignorance, sloth, and unhealthy habits.  Their bodies, minds, and spirits have been so neglected and abused they would find it hard to respond in the case of an emergency.

It is high time that we examine the quality of our Christians on the battlefront, that our efforts at coordination be directed at reforming the leadership base. Leaders can no longer be identified by just examining their management and technical capacity; it is now necessary to employ new leadership selection criteria and guidelines so that the leaders we choose practice what they preach.

God’s plan is to have us Fix America First, and then the new paradigm will create a strong movement for people in areas of stress due to war, hunger or social, economic, or political upheaval and to respond to their expressed needs spiritually, materially, and emotionally.

Only a beachhead of cooperation can push back the undoing of Christian ethics.  Let both parents and children join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power, but a new society rooted and grounded in Jesus Christ, wisdom, logic, and common sense.  Where the strong are truly just, disciplined, and wise – where the weak are educated and secure -- and where freedom is preserved.  United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do—for we dare not meet this powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

Let the word go forth from this time and place that the torch has to be passed to a new generation of Christian children — born in this century, devastated by misinformation, crushed by a hard and ruthless society, stripped of their ancient heritage by megalomaniacs -- but a generation of children who are now unwilling to permit the undoing of our human rights and Christian ethics to which this Nation has always been committed.

My fellow citizens, ask not what God will do for us, but what together we can do to build the Kingdom of God.

All this will not be finished in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin. God Help Us.

did anyone konw all these facts? 

 No I did not and its quite scary....and very sad.

  Good luck, I think you just might open a few eyes.

Hi HCVanon!

Yes! I've heard of previously, and understand plenty of these facts and current positions, including the rather subliminal changes & abuses of the constitution that occurr when unbridled, uninformed, uninspired power - corrupts absolute power!!! Forgive me for my exhibition of passion, emotion, and utter contempt when it comes to discussing, understanding why politicians, and most leaders in our present society do the things that they do , say the things that they say and yet when the spotlight - so they think is turned away from them, they reveal their true selves.
I for one do not like what I see as a blatant practice of hypocrisy in our society from all of our leaders in it.

Science and Mathematics are good to study and learn for certain practical applications one would use in the assimilation into society but, not necessarily so important that all other subjects related to meaningful learning, promoting a healthy lifestyle, inserting a positive outlook in our vulnerable, negatively influenced, easily persuaded children, and the building of moral character are all but ignored.

In order for our entire youth to understand mankind's own eventual demise, unless we start to pay attention to the HISTORY of the mistakes & improvements made in the once great past & present societies, civilizations, and ideologies - just about everything that's immoral, corrupt, and just downright inhumane in our present state will continue to be looked at with an intensely negative atitude of DENIAL from within ouselves!!!

As a result of this continuing practice known as "self annointed omnipotence" otherwise sometimes referred to as superhuman like egoistic personalities that promote a false sense of perfectionism within our leaders in government, religion, the "fantasy creation" industries which include all forms of so-called entertainment & many forms of government propaganda, everything that you've pointed out to us that is so "malignant" in our society, in your speech will inevitably defeat us as a species within this universe.

Heck! I can go on and on but because of my present state of uncertainty - which is related to the fact that I was laid off from work today, I'm being forced into thinking about my own present set of priorities that may or may not need some sort of revision especially when I try my best on a daily basis to carefully control... In order to survive comfortably in the low echelon of our segmented society - that is.

I do however, enjoy reading your posts but, if I may and I hope that you're not offended by this...
The ending of your speech could be more unique, original... In other words, the similarities in your ending to that of some of John F. Kennedy's famous innaugural speech is not original.
Everything else is well put, and grabs my attention and yet when I get to the ending, an alarm goes off in my head warning me of another aspiring politician for which I know that is'nt your purpose in life but to strangers, they might think different about whether or not you may have an alterior motive with respect to your choice of words in the speech's ending.

If you want to be really meaningful and catch everyones' attention, be your own unique self to the end of your speech! If you do'nt agree at the very least, it would be wise to give reference & reverance to JFK when you use his words in the context of your speech.

I may not know much but, in my short history of living on this planet called earth, I've noticed, and learned a thing or two... I've noticed & learned that if one stays true to oneself, a whole bunch of attention is drawn, attracted towards oneself. Especially when one has the responsibility in communicating such important issues towards a group of individuals that are seeking a fresh outlook from someone that is pointing out to them most of the problems that we as a society must repair without coming across as one of those "factory made" politicians. Be original, be fresh, be totally TRUE and as a result, you'll get your message across!

Gotta go Friend! I have a busy day ahead of me so, I must get some rest or I'll simply accomplish nothing today.

Respectfully,
Hanklive39 Lives for Today and Tomorrow!!!

I got it -- one step closer to the dream --

Hi Glen,

I really appreciate your testimony of what the Lord Jesus is doing in your life and through your life. Thank you for sharing today and thank you for you kind note.

Charlie Wilson and I talked this afternoon and we want you to be our keynote speaker for the San Clemente Mayor's Prayer Breakfast 7:00 to 9:00 AM on Tuesday 20 March 2007. The Prayer breakfast is primarily sponsored by Kiwanis and cosponsored with the Pastors Fellowship of South Orange County. I forgot that they are cosponsors. A number of the San Clemente Pastors and Council members will be involved in the program. If I remember correctly, you will have 35-45 minutes to share.

I have a copy of our last year's schedule of events that I will give to you. I will also give you a copy of last year's biographies on the speaker and the mayor. We'll need to write up a short biography on you for the program as well. Last year we had the Sun Post do a story on our guest speaker the week before the prayer breakfast. I would like to see if we can do the same this year with you.

Based upon what you shared today and as you and I discussed, Charlie would like he and I to work with you in putting together an outline for the Prayer meeting. Charlie agrees with me that your message is a powerful one. Your vision for youth really needs to be shared with our community.

Basic top level outline and format, we would like you to Share (led by the Holy Spirit) the following:

1. Background history (Biography)
2. Where you were
3. Where you are now
4. How you got to where you are
5. What you are involved in and what you accomplished
6. Your passion for youth in the community and beyond
7. Appeal to pastors and community leaders to work together for the benefit of our youth.

Tomorrow, Sue and I going to San Diego with our son and his wife, so I'll check with you on Friday and maybe we can get together.

God bless,
Frank

    way to go glen!!  THIS is your mission and why you survived all your escapades. God has big plans for you....thank you for sharing your dream with us.  you have made a difference in many lives....life changing differences...perhaps many of those you aren't even aware of.  i know that hcv anon has kept me going. thanks for caring and going that "extra mile" for so very many!!  God bless you.  ~~linda~~   

[willy]

Congrats Glen; you'll do fine.  Sorry i was no help with feedback but I have read many other things you've written, such as your biography.  You write well and I'm sure you'll give a good talk too.

Best,
