Blind love vs. realistic love

Posted by olufemi fasanya on February 11, 2009 at 2:27pm

(Why people get married to later find out they are in trouble.)The Family of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson is a known family in their street; they are known for fighting and trouble such that their neighbors can categorically affirm that they is no week gone by since they moved in without them going to settle some form of dispute for them. Joanne (Mrs. Johnson) now advise singles not to ignore the signs that appear little that the person they are dating may be revealing because it shows who the person really is.When she was single, Michael (Mr. Johnson) showers her with love and so much attention; but she noticed that he was always mean and selfish to people around him. His parents complain to her of how he wasn’t caring for them and his siblings who are in the university despite the fact that he works in one of the leading oil company in the nation. They had implored her to speak to him on the issue; whenever she raises it, he always has one logical excuse or the other to give for his action and in the end she felt his parents were not been appreciative of all he was doing for them.She felt in heart an uncomfortable feeling about the way she sees her fiancé treat people; but since he wasn’t do the same to her she calmed her conscience with the word he loves me. Love is what he keeps showing her with until they got married; the same guy that was always meeting her needs began complaining about how she spends money and the need to economize despite the fact he is given the list of the items the home needs and the price. Sometimes Michael will do the shopping for the family himself leaving the impression that she was managing the money given to her properly. She also came to the rude discovery that he was treating her in the same mean way that she saw him treat others while she was single; he screamed at her at will and at the slightest provocation, he hits her. Joanne’s heart cry today is that she wished she didn’t close her eyes to the obvious facts that she saw in Michael, she now live in regret for allowing her emotion blind her to the facts that were clearly visible before marriage.Stories like this are common one; check out divorce columns in daily newspapers, you will find that over 70% of those opting out of their marriage saw that things weren’t right when they were singles but assumed that their partners will change. So one of the lamentable statement that I have read in this column is, I thought he will change after marriage. The reality is that marriage don’t change people, it amplifies who they are.I have been privilege to counsel married people who lament about their partners and want to opt out of their marriage; I can visibly feel the pain some of them are going through. However, the counsel that I have always given them is that them must stay in their marriage and make it work.My question to every single that will read this article is, the love you have for the person you are dating, is it a blind one/realistic one? Someone said that ‘Love is blind, but marriage is an eye opener,’ the worst time to have your eyes open is after marriage. Permit me to question your love; can you walk out of the relationship now if you find out that your partner is two timing? Can you see the character flaws of your partner? Can you walk out of the relationship if he hits you? Can you walk of the relationship if deep inside of you; you feel that all isn’t well? Some of the singles reading this article have been beaten by their partner, some have caught their partners two timing, and some know that the best thing to do is to leave the relationship. However, they still hang on because they love their partner.This type of love is what has put many in trouble in the later part of their lives; this cycle of even will not stop because many of the emotion people call love, blind their minds from the obvious danger signs around. I don’t believe that it’s every body that you have feelings for that is you should get married to; the reason is because feelings can’t sustain a marriage. When challenges come, it’s the strength of ones character that will determine how far the marriage will go.The English adage that says ‘look before you leap’ is one that singles should not only observe before going into marriage; but it should also be taken as a maxim of life.Femi Fasanya is a prolific writer and speaker who have given talks on relationship issues in seminars and campuses in Nigeria; he’s one of the interviewers in the programme, The Lord reigns in time inspirational cable television.

God will judge NigeriaSIR: I am Rev. Bunmi Olusona, a personal friend and brother to the late Paul Abayomi Ogundeji. Between 1989/90 academic session at the University of Ibadan when I was elected as the President of the University of Ibadan Student Union, late Paul Abayomi Ogundeji was elected Public Relations Officer of the union, this afforded me the opportunity to be very close to him and other members of his family back at Ogbomosho.After graduating from the University of Ibadan, we were living together at Egbeda/Akowonjo area of Lagos State before I travelled out of Nigeria in 1996. If 'Yomi' as we his friends call him were to be alive today, he probably would be the one to edit/proof read this press statement for me. I have followed his progress as a journalist right from when he took up employment wit the 'Third Eye' and later 'The Guardian Newspaper', The Punch', The Comet', he was briefly appointed to This Day editorial board.I have one thing to say, Yomi did not deserve to die the kind of death he died. During the Babangida misrule, he was the voice of our union and that of many voiceless Nigerians trying as it were to expose the decadence and total lack of direction our country was been force to go through. Yomi was a young man who came from a very humble background who endured so much hardship to attain this height, whatever he achieved was not because of any connections or one godfather somewhere but by the Grace of God, his brilliance and hard work.This guy suffered, I mean really suffered to get to where he got to.The truth is that we are not running a country, we are running corruption and confusion. I was discussing with an Irish friend who told me he had been to Lagos and called it the world headquarter of confusion. Why would there not be confusion as more that 70 per cent of the people recruited to the Nigeria police were either former armed robbers or former area boys, many more have been lured into it. Our politicians are the most corrupt and wicked political elite you will ever find or come across in your life, rather than stressing to find solution to the nation's problems, they are busy grabing whatever they can and displaying lavish wealth where they can and creating massive social problems to the chagrin of us all.Many of the so-called thieving governors are walking tall and freely everywhere and the populace has been held captive by all kinds of societal problems you can ever think about. Every one has become his own Local Government, you generate your own electricity, water, etc. Our leaders past and present should hang their heads in shame! God almighty will demand the blood of this innocent young man from our elected leaders beginning from President Yar'Adua to the Governors and the so-called law enforcers.Our law enforcement agents are beggars in the daytime and armed robbers at night! What can we do now other than for the true friends of the late Yomi to come together and see what difference we can make in the lives of his loved ones he left behind.Bunmi Olusona,Republic of Ireland

First 100 hours of Obama

Posted by Elvis on February 11, 2009 at 6:36am

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama opened his presidency by breaking sharply from George W. Bush's unpopular administration, but he mostly avoided divisive partisan and ideological stands. He focused instead on fixing the economy, repairing a battered world image and cleaning up government."What an opportunity we have to change this country," the Democrat told his senior staff after his inauguration. "The American people are really counting on us now. Let's make sure we take advantage of it."Barack ObamaIn the highly scripted first days of his administration, Obama overturned a slew of Bush policies with great fanfare. He largely avoided cultural issues; the exception was reversing one abortion-related policy, a predictable move done in a very low-profile way.The flurry of activity was intended to show that Obama was making good on his promise to bring change. Yet domestic and international challenges continue to pile up, and it's doubtful that life will be dramatically different for much of the ailing country anytime soon.Obama's biggest agenda items — stabilizing the economy and ending the Iraq war — are complex tasks with results not expected soon. Even as Obama made broad pronouncements and signed a stream of executive orders to usher in a new governing era, his actions leave unanswered or unresolved questions, including how he will close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp for suspected terrorists.In other cases, Obama set out new policy, only to signal it could be applied selectively. He decreed that interrogators must follow techniques outlined in the Army Field Manual when questioning terrorism suspects, even as he ordered a review that could allow CIA interrogators to use other methods for high-value targets. Also, while a new White House rule limits staffers' previous lobbying activities, exceptions were made for at least two senior administration officials."It's always a delicate task to maintain your coalition and try to expand it," said George Edwards, a Texas A&M University political science professor. "He's making the moves in the right direction to please his supporters on signature issues. At the same time, he has not elicited immediate outrage from Republicans because he's gone out of his way to reach out to them."Certainly, some Republicans are griping about Obama's economic stimulus plan and closing Guantanamo. But their protests are somewhat muted, perhaps because little of what Obama has done thus far is a surprise. He had prepared the country and Congress for such steps during the campaign and transition. He also has emphasized a pragmatic, bipartisan approach, and enjoys broad public support.Most of what he tackled came in areas where there is agreement across the political spectrum for a new direction, although the country is divided over shuttering Guantanamo.Obama long has emphasized solutions over partisanship, and he doesn't seem eager to address issues — at least for now — that create great ideological divides.That is a sharp contrast with Democrat Bill Clinton, who set the tone for an ideological presidency when he tried to overturn the ban on gays in the military. It pleased liberals, enraged conservatives and angered both the military and Congress, neither of which was consulted.So far, Obama's only real brush with issues that stoke partisan passions came when he revoked a ban on federal funding for international groups that provide or promote abortions. He did that quietly by issuing a memorandum late Friday afternoon. The move was expected; the issue has vacillated between Republican and Democratic presidents. Obama was sworn in Tuesday with huge support — 68 percent in a Gallup poll released Saturday — and incredible optimism from the public; Bush left Washington with record-low job approval ratings.A picture of poise, Obama didn't get rattled when Chief Justice John Roberts flubbed the oath of office, an exercise repeated a day later to ensure constitutionality. He breezed through his speech — which repudiated Bush's tenure though never personally attacked him — without a misstep. Even with the weight of the country's troubles now on his shoulders, he was relaxed as he twirled his wife, Michelle, at celebratory balls. "I don't sweat," Obama said on the eve of his inauguration — a comment meant literally, and, perhaps, figuratively.Maybe not. But he has yet to face a crisis head-on as the country's leader, and it's only then that his confidence truly will be tested. Still, Obama clearly has made the transition to governing. "It's as if Superman stepped out of a phone booth and became Clark Kent," said Fred Greenstein, a Princeton University professor emeritus of politics."He's beginning to put aside the rhetoric in favor of listing the policies and doing the checklist. He's not going out of his way to show a lot of flash. It's much more lets-get-down-to-work."That said, there's a limit to what he can immediately accomplish, Greenstein said, and "the really big things can't be done on Day One, particularly if they are going to be done well."In a mix of symbolism and substance, Obama used a host of executive tools to put his stamp on the country without having to go through Congress, making statements from the bully pulpit and signing White House directives.He pledged to take bold steps to reverse the recession while meeting with his economic team, and told top military officials to do whatever planning necessary to "execute a responsible military drawdown from Iraq." He issued new ethics rules for his administration and pledged to preside over a transparent government.He ordered the Guantanamo detention center shut within a year, required the closure of any remaining secret CIA "black site" prisons abroad and barred CIA interrogators form using harsh techniques already banned for military questioners. He also assigned veteran troubleshooters to the Middle East, and Pakistan and Afghanistan. Throughout it all, Obama demonstrated noticeable stylistic differences with his predecessor.The high-tech Obama chose to keep his cherished Blackberry, becoming the first sitting president to use e-mail. He made an impromptu visit to the White House's cramped media quarters just "to say hello." He also was spotted at one point ducking into the White House press office to consult with an aide. Bush avoided both areas at all costs.In one Oval Office ceremony, Obama went through each executive order as he signed them, reading parts of each and methodically explaining them. He even halted a few times to ask for clarification from his White House counsel. That sort of deferral to someone else in a public setting and admission of a less-than-perfect command of the facts was never Bush's style.

Things you need to do before or after praying

Posted by nick on February 10, 2009 at 4:27am

SAY "THANK YOU". JOHN 11:41 SAYS "Father I thank you because you hear me always."THANK YOU. These two words are so powerful, they determine the destiny of men, Failure to say 'thank you' could ruin a whole empire. Manyu relationships have been destroyed becuase of an ungrateful husband or wife. Your refusal to say thank you could halt your dreams, scupper your plans, delay your progress and retard your journey in life.WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAY THANK YOU TO GOD FOR GOOD HEALTH YOU ENJOYING?The only time some people talk to God is when they have problems. They seldom think wabout His goodness and mercy. Jesus made an unusual impact in his minstry because he learnt to say "Thank you". He performed spectacular miracles becuase he know how to thank God. Read the book of John and we see all the miracles of his ministry no one finished without the word THANK YOU.SAY "THANK YOU" TO MAN OR WOMAN, HUSBAND OR WIFE.Let me start this way. God needs man to achieve His purpose on earth and if God is going to do anything, He will do it through men. So when God sends helpers to you and they do you a favour, you should say "Thank you". There is nothing that hurts like an ungrateful person.If you are a wife, you need to appreciate your husband by saying "Thank you" to him. Show him you love him. If you are a husband, say "Thank you" for the nice dinner, the new suit or tie, the taking care of the house and the children. Only a foolish father will be arrogant to his children and wife. Some people are so prayful but are hardly grateful. They therefore find success diffcult.Remember what you went through before you came across the man or woman who did you a favour. Start appreciating your helpers and you will make steady progress. STOP WASTING YOUR TIME PRAYING WHEN ALL YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IS A HEARTFEIL "THANK YOU"Edit | Delete

is it coincidence?

Posted by osi on February 9, 2009 at 11:16pm

Anyone will feel very angry, frustrated and betrayed when given a job to do and after all the planning, hard work, sweat, sleepless night to make it work according to plan, it is given to another three fourths to completion. None of this feeling you will have when this job causes the new person to be in jail for an illegal transaction. How will you feel when you are on an important appointment and about to enter a bus when the sit of the bus tears your trousers/skirt ……but when you return home to change, find that the bus you were about to board had a fatal accident and nobody survived? How will you feel when you run into the bank to deposit a huge amount of money and you are asked to go to another branch of the bank which is miles away to make your deposit………..but after 5mins of leaving the bank, everybody was robbed. I could still go on and on about how someone, something, an object, an advice, a gum under the slipper, a phone even an enemy has prevented us from having a bad or a near death experience. I ask, is it coincidence or is there something behind it. I had a friend who did not commit himself to church but was approached by one of the door-to-door evangelists of which he decided to listen passively, some time later that evening he almost fell in a well after another friend who doesn’t fetch water decided to follow him to the well [who eventually saved his life]. I ask again; is it coincidence or is there a reason?I am not asking for an answer but a rethink. But remember, anything either little or big that makes you angry, sad, cry, feel down, don’t forget to thank GOD for it could just be you avoiding a bad or near death experience….

Marijuana Linked to Aggressive Testicular Cancer

Posted by Elvis on February 9, 2009 at 8:23am

Researchers found that men who smoked marijuana once a week or began to use the substance on a long-term basis while adolescents incurred double the risk for developing the fastest-spreading version of testicular cancer -- nonseminoma, which accounts for about 40 percent of all cases."Since we know that the incidence of testicular cancer has been rising in our country and in Europe over the last 40 years and that marijuana use has also risen over the same time, it seemed logical that there might be an association between the two," said study co-author Janet Daling, an epidemiologist and member of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's public health sciences division in Seattle. "And when I analyzed the data, we found a fairly strong relationship with this aggressive type of testicular cancer."No link was found between the drug and a less aggressive and more prevalent form of the disease, known as seminoma, which strikes 60 percent of testicular cancer patients.The findings were published in the Feb. 9 online issue of Cancer.According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, testicular cancer is very rare, accounting for just 1 percent of cancers among American men. Nevertheless, the disease is the most common type of cancer for American men between the ages of 15 and 34, the study noted.Across North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, testicular cancer rates have increased by 3 percent to 6 percent in the past half-century. That has led some researchers to suggest that the upward trend might be the product of increased exposure among young men to one or more external factors, including a simultaneous and comparable rise in the use of marijuana.Along those lines, the researchers noted that the testes could be particularly vulnerable to the effects of marijuana, given that the organ -- along with the brain, heart, uterus and spleen -- carries specific receptors for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.As well, previous human and animal research has indicated that marijuana use might lead to reduced hormonal production (particularly testosterone), poorer semen quality and impotency in men.Daling and her team explored the notion of a marijuana-testicular cancer connection by analyzing data on 369 testicular cancer patients that had been collected by the Adult Testicular Cancer Lifestyle and Blood Specimen Study.Participants were between the ages of 18 and 44, most were white or Hispanic, and all were residents of the Seattle-Puget Sound region. All had been diagnosed with the disease between 1999 and 2006. The men reported any history of marijuana use, as well as alcohol and smoking habits, and the same information was collected from about 1,000 healthy men.The researchers found that current marijuana use was linked to a 70 percent increased risk for the disease.Independent of known risk factors, nonseminoma risk was particularly high among men who used the drug at least once a week and among those who had started using it before age 18.Though Daling emphasized that the findings are preliminary, she suggested that attention should be paid."We know very little about the long-term health consequences of marijuana smoking," she cautioned. "So, although this is the first time this association has been studied and found -- and the finding does need to be replicated before we are really sure what's going on -- this does give some evidence that testicular cancer may be one result from the frequent use of marijuana. And that is something that young people should keep in mind."But the prospect of a causal relationship between marijuana use and testicular cancer raised a lot of unanswered questions for Gary Schwartz, an associate professor in both the department of cancer biology and the department of epidemiology and prevention at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C."The consensus is that most testicular cancer is thought to originate with lesions in utero, and that the peak age for testicular cancer to actually occur begins, really, right after adolescence," he noted. "That's when hormones released during puberty appear to promote [full-blown] cancer by essentially throwing fuel on the lesion fire, following a relatively long latency. The point being that you don't suddenly wake up one morning with a tumor. So it's a little hard to understand how exposure to marijuana beginning at that point could somehow play an immediate causal role.""But certainly, the idea that cannabis may cause cancer cells to proliferate is interesting," Schwartz acknowledged. "It could, however, also be that recreational drug use is simply a marker for affluence, since we know that testicular cancer is traditionally a disease that is more common among the affluent. Or it could be a marker for some other event that comes along with it, that triggers lesions that lead to tumors. So, at this point, it's just not clear to me how exactly the association between marijuana and testicular cancer would work."The American Cancer Society has more on marijuana use and cancer.

The 9jabook Syndrome

Well somehow the list of addicts is getting longer and more people are spending more time on 9jabook.com. I don’t know what the dope is made of but we need to roll out the drums and make some noise that 9jabook is where it’s happening. If you like you may not blow your trumpet; but everyone has got their trumpets to blow. On here is the only place I see a large number of people being online at the same time-23 at a time, and some time more than that! The remaining thing is for the chat room to work. Maybe Weboga should revert to the old chat room cos we don’t understand the one on now. at least that will keep me off facebook. Naija to the marrows!

penis enlargement

Posted by A. F. Oesten on February 5, 2009 at 5:32am

Natural enlargement is one of the hottest topics on the internet. You can go to forums, info sites and of course retailers of all sorts of natural enlargement products. Why exactly is natural enlargement such a popular industry? Because the demand for the products is only limited to the male population. The "largest" man in the world is still probably sitting on his computer browsing online for penis enlargement products in order to keep his title. And the good news is that there are some natural enlargement products that do work very well. While supplements have gotten somewhat of a bad name there are a few that do work, at least to an extent. You can tell these ones apart because they'll have a customer service center that is easy to contact, a money back guarantee, and the claims they make will be realistic, not outrageous. For natural enlargement and natural enhancement advice you can log onto the forums I mentioned or read reviews of various products to see how they've worked for other people.

The Proextender is well known in certain circles for its ability to enlarge the penis. The truth is that over the same amount of time you can make the same gains the Proextender offers with the use of supplements. Then again you could use supplements and the Proextender at the same time, but this may put too much strain on the penis. For what you're getting the Proextender is just too expensive and comes with too many hassles. For instance it can be very painful, especially at first. Other than that the Proextender is simply uncomfortable and difficult to wear for the twelve hours per day that is recommended; the Proextender can also be difficult to put on. Many people who use the Proextender report losing the small gains they suffered for after just a few weeks of not wearing it; there will undoubtedly be periods of time when you will not be able to use it like if it breaks and you need to order replacement parts and you might lose your gains as well. For effective penis enlargement which will not put such a strain on your penis or wallet there are supplements available.

If you haven't seen advertisements for male enhancement pills you must be very new to the internet. In nearly every corner, in the blogs, in your email inbox there are ads for enhancement pills. The claims are enough to peak anyone's interest, but how much can they actually deliver. I'm happy to say that there are benefits to be gained from the use of enhancement pills, they can offer an increase in performance, drive and the use of some enhancement pills can even result in penis enlargement. There are certain enhancement pills which claim to be able to increase "volume" and cure premature ejaculation, though it is hard to know if these claims have any validity. Regardless, male enhancement is more than just a pipe dream, it is a reality and enhancement pills can be just the thing you need to improve your sex life.

NIGERIA IS HOME TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST CYBER CAFE

Posted by Jane Okinedo on February 4, 2009 at 7:34am

Posted: 03 Feb 2009 11:29 PM CSTChamsCity is a digital cafe located in Lagos Nigeria and billed to be the largest in not just Africa, but the entire world, as certified[*] by Guinness World Records. The Lagos location has 1000 computers, while the previous record holder in New York only has 850. The mother company, Chams PLC, intends a series of cyber malls across Nigeria, with an Abuja location already completed.ChamsCity has a capacity of over 2,000 biometric and multimedia systems which will be used to manage public identity and provide personalized online services for governmental and private entities. The Assistant General Manager, Sola Bickersteth, expanded on some of the future capabilities of the new cyber center saying,"The ChamsCity network of digital malls creates a platform that can be used to capture fingerprints and pictures of each individual which is then tied to their mobile phone numbers. This will eliminate instances of impersonation prevalent in our society today because each system has an inbuilt camera which makes it possible to record the activities of each individual as they conduct an exercise.""Individuals can register as Chams Citizens to access an unlimited array of facilities such as basic internet browsing, self improvement, online certification testing, e-learning, and web conferencing at affordable costs."The cyber center enables online testing and learning in Lagos for 10,000 individuals daily and aims to partner with schools."A special membership package is available for students whose schools are registered with ChamCity, they will have an opportunity to compete to win prizes and travel to represent Nigeria and their school in several upcoming computers based international competitions starting from February through the summer of 2009."ChamsCity is also working with the Federal government to finger print every Nigerian citizen and create a new identity card system.MY THOUGHTSThis is definitely another step by Nigerians to advance the country and bring it closer to the forefront of the digital revolution. The fact that this is a privately owned entity and that it will make internet access possible around the country is a positive that will have exponential benefits for Nigerians. Those benefits will hopefully span various areas such as health care, education, agriculture, business and entertainment, to name a few.It is also significant that this first cyber center of its kind was launched in Lagos State. Lagos is working to transform itself into an international financial metropolis and this is just one of many innovative achievements accomplished under the watch of Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola. Fashola also recently unveiled a 10,000 security camera project to improve safety in Lagos State. That, coupled with ChamCity's biometric plans could definitely make Lagos a safer place and thus more welcoming for business, domestic and foreign.However, there are some concerns to be considered. What provisions are in place to prevent the abuse of information collected by ChamsCity? How will the company prevent information from being stolen and used by criminals? Furthermore, it is hard to ignore the Big Brother-esque nature of ChamsCity and its plans. Although it is a private business, it is partnering with the Nigerian government which could open the door to the abuse of information belonging to individual citizens. Given the federal government's history, past and the very recent present, at ignoring constitutional rights, and the continuing corruption plaguing the country, it is worrisome to think that the federal government will have that much information at their finger tips.* - Nigerian Curiosity has not yet verified that Guinness World Records certified ChamsCity as the largest cyber cafe.

~GOD'S GIFT OF PROMISES~"Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap,nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.Are ye not much better than they?".......Matthew 6: 26* * * * * * * * * * * *All through this life, we'll have our problems. Adversity is like a grindstone of life.It can either polish us or pulverize us. What it does to us depends uponour attitude. There's no need to worry when we have the promisesof our Lord to claim. He'll bring us through every trial of life as wetrust in Him with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding.Things may not always be as we want, but God will carry us throughas we put our faith in Him.*Walter Raleigh was imprisoned for thirteen years. He didn't mope during theseyears but chose to cope instead. During this time, he wrote The Historyof The World.Martin Luther was confined in the Castle of Wartburg and could have beenovercome. Yet, he choose to overcome the trials in his life and translated theBible during his confinement. We can choose to let adversity polish usand look to the Lord to solve our problems. He is the Problem solver andthere is nothing too difficult for our God. He already knows the beginningfrom the end and has the answer in His hands.We have been given many promises as God's children and the assuranceof receiving answers to our prayers. The promise of having prayers answeredis conditional, and depends upon our abiding in the Lord and letting hiswords abide in our heart. Our problems can be turned into possibilitiesas we let the Lord solve them.Abiding is staying in the will of the Lord and seeking to dwell in the secretplace of the Most High God. There is a place of refuge from the storms oflife and the heat of battle that can be found only in God. It is good to know that if we abide in the Lord and hide His words in our heart, we can ask of Himand expect to receive answers to prayers.God's gifts do not cease with salvation. He keeps on giving and blessing us all thedays of our life, as we look to Him. We could never describe all that our Lorddoes for us each day. As the words to an old gospel song tell us, "it is joy unspeakableand full of glory, the half has never yet been told." One day, we shall beholdthe one who died for us. We shall praise Him eternally for His supreme sacrificethat we might have eternal life.Thanks to our Lord for having us on his mind when He was on the Crossof Calvary. Lift the name of the Lord on high today. God inhabits the praisesof his people and gives the greatest gift of all to those who will receive Him.Claim the promises of God today and be abundantly blessed!Blessings in Christ,~GOD'S GIFT OF PROMISES~"Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap,nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.Are ye not much better than they?".......Matthew 6: 26* * * * * * * * * * * *All through this life, we'll have our problems.
