This post from Mike Huckabee really added some clarity regarding the benefits of healthcare reform.
47 million uninsured Americans =
12-13 million illegal immigrants
15 million qualify for existing plans, but have not signed up
10 million could afford insurance, but choose not to buy it…spending their money elsewhere.
Also: Why roll out a permanent healthcare plan to the entire country without trying it somewhere first?

I must say, I am continually impressed with the innovation of the staff at Google. They continually add features to the web that make things free, user-friendly, and convenient.
Their new phone 411 service is that good too. Call 1-800-466-4411 and say the place name, city and state, and you’ll get connected to them for free! Tried it, love it. I urge you to save it in your phone for later use.

John Smith started the day early
having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN )
for 6 am.
While his coffeepot
(MADE IN CHINA )
was perking, he shaved with his electric razor
(MADE IN HONG KONG )
He put on a dress shirt
(MADE IN SRI LANKA ),
designer jeans
(MADE IN SINGAPORE )
and tennis shoes
(MADE IN KOREA )
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA )
he sat down with his calculator
(MADE IN MEXICO )
to see how much he could spend today.
After setting his watch
(MADE IN TAIWAN )
to the radio
(MADE IN INDIA )
he got in his car
(MADE IN GERMANY )
filled it with GAS
(from Saudi Arabia )
and continued his search for a good paying
AMERICAN JOB.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day
checking his Computer
(made in MALAYSIA ),
John decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals
(MADE IN BRAZIL ),
poured himself a glass of wine
(MADE IN FRANCE )
and turned on his TV
(MADE IN INDONESIA ),
and then wondered why he can’t
find a good paying job
(in AMERICA)
AND NOW HE’S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT
( MADE IN KENYA)
(Not sure who to credit for this…just another mass communication worth posting here)
Recently I sent out a short post on understanding homosexuality. Today I’m adding to the lessons learned by adding a link to another insightful talk on the subject of depression.
Unlike other talks on the subject, this is not a Scriptural “how to” sermon on being depressed. It’s not about having a depressed attitude, and beating it by quoting Scripture, serving others, or going to a healing service. It’s about what to do as a Christian when you are physically depressed.
I recommend this talk to EVERYONE, because it shows you how to properly encourage someone who is truly dealing with this problem.
download the audio here: http://www.dts.edu/media/people/?namekey=Tommy_Nelson
The talk is called “A Christian Looks at Depression”
Recently I downloaded and began listening to a series of seminars from various sources. One such seminar was at DTS this past spring and spent four hours on the topic of homosexuality.
I started listening with a critical ear, but soonafter, I was unable to stop. Living Hope Ministries really did a great job of exploring a topic that few churches address. I learned a lot about how early childhood experiences of sexual abuse and absentee parents affect us.
While I cannot make the audio availble here or point you to the DTS site (it is currently restricted to student access only) I do want to point you to the Living Hope website (https://livehope.org/resources) and ask you to consider learning more about this if you have an opportunity in the future.
I also promise to follow up with both DTS and Living Hope, in hopes of seeing this content made available publicly.
What are you listening to this summer?
