Back at our December gathering of the La-Fayette Meeting Place, I did a test recording of the meeting. I need 2 laptops for the meeting and to record, which I have thankfully, but I had technical difficulties with the one to record with. Hopefully I have the bugs worked out :-)

A Suggested Prayer

 Prayer is a wonderful privilege for the Christian. The Bible says that God doesn't hear the prayers of sinners, which means each person who doesn't have their sins covered and paid for by Christ's sacrifice and resurrection. But I digress...

I readily admit that I don't pray as I should. Christians should pray regularly (without ceasing the Bible says), and not just at Church and not just asking God for things. But this is about a specific kind of prayer, that if you agree with, you may want to do. Not word for word, and you may want to add or leave out some things. This is just a prayer that has come to my mind off and on, and again in Church this morning. So here it is to be used as God sees fit:

"Lord, I thank You and praise You for who You are, and all that You have done, are doing, and will do. Thank you Lord Jesus for dying on the cross to pay the penalty of my sins and for all who will believe in You. Please forgive me of my sins.

Lord, I pray for our country and leaders- our President, Vice President, Senators, Representatives, Governors, Commissioners, Mayors, and the rest of our elected officials at the federal, state, county, and city levels. Please intervene and change the hearts and save those that are not saved. I know our sin is grievous Lord, and that we do not deserve your grace, mercy and kindness. Lord, it seems that some people believe that You should destroy us as You did Sodom and Gomorrah, and we do deserve it. But Lord, when Abraham asked that You not destroy them if there was 100 righteous people, You said You wouldn't if there was 100 and further said You would not destroy them if there was even 10 righteous people. And yet in wonderful kindness and mercy, you still delivered Lot and his family. 

Lord, by Your grace and Your grace alone through You Son Jesus Christ, there is a remnant of Your people. As seen in Your Word, I know that You are not obligated to treat each nation the same. And while there are many more righteous people because of the righteousness of Christ put on their account through His death, burial and resurrection, I know that we also have a much bigger population. But I ask that you may be pleased to not destroy the United States of America because of Your wonderful grace and mercy, and for the sake of Your people, and convict the hearts of Your people to be busy about Your business and proclaim the gospel, that's the only means Your Holy Spirit uses to change hearts.

Thank you Lord. In Jesus' precious Name I pray, amen."

Another Cancer Treatment?

Hello Readers:

I took what I believe to be a possible cancer treatment this past Thursday. No, I didn't go to the doctor's office. It wasn't Chemo or Radiation or anything else in "mainstream" medicine. It was Vitamin C. But not just any kind of Vitamin C and not just the typical 500-1000 milligrams. Thursday throughout the day I took 45,000 (yes, forty five thousand) milligrams of liquid liposomal encapsulated Vitamin C between 7:30 AM and 9:30 PM. Most of it was 3,000 mg per hour.

It burdens me that so many people are quick to dismiss this alternative treatment that may kill just cancer cells and not the good cells like the above mentioned mainstream treatments kill good cells. Most doctors won't or can't tell you about this for fear of getting in trouble. It can't be patented so big pharma can't make money off of it. And I personally don't think the medical establishment and cancer societies want to really see cancer cured because it cost them mucho moola.

I'm certainly not a doctor. And this may not work for all kinds of cancer and on all people. Do your own research and see that intravenous Vitamin C has been studied and found to cure various kinds of Cancer. Then if you come to the conclusion I have, you might make the common sense jump to this kind of Vitamin C that may be just as good as intravenous. There was one study I read years ago that said just that, but I have not been able to find it again. And the manufacturer of this kind of Vitamin C does say that it has a 90% absorption rate as opposed to 20% for typical pills. If you don't want to try this instead, I have also read that it will help with the severe side affects of chemo and radiation treatments. 

This is part of my outreach and I just want to help. God ordains the means as well as the end. Thank you. Please prayerfully consider.

Constitutional Carry Now in Alabama

 I didn't live in Alabama the first time until 2008. After moving for a job, I returned in 2015. Then again after moving for 2 out of state jobs, returned the end of 2020. That whole time citizens were trying to get Constitutional Carry (Concealed Carry Without a Permit) in Alabama. Well, thanks in part to our State Representative Tracey Estes, it finally passed both Houses and was signed by the Governor late last week. I was in favor of this bill passing and probably drove Mr. Estes crazy about it. With the direction of the federal government, terrorists and criminals crossing the southern border, and unvetted refugees coming to our country, I believe it was the right thing to do. Alabama is the 22nd State to do this. Statistics also show that violent crimes are lower in States or Counties that have this "constitutional" right. I believe it only applies to your own state and others that have the same provision. For Alabama, those close States are Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Come on Florida and Georgia! :-)

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

La-Fayette Meeting Place Outlines

 Hi All:

I announced in August of last year the La-Fayette Meeting Place. It's a monthly meeting of likeminded citizens that are concerned about the direction of our country. A time of information sharing, encouragement and fellowship. While we have been meeting since September 2021, I have neglected posting my outlines. It doesn't do the whole meeting justice because there is discussion about the various topics in the outline. Below is from our Feb. 2022 meeting. If you would like previous meeting outlines, let me know. Thank you!

And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

Where Were You That Day?

 We often ask people where they were the day of 9/11/2001, and understandable so.

But that's not the day I'm referring to. About a month ago our National Debt passed the 30 Trillion Dollar mark. 30 Trillion folks, that's a lot of zeros: $30,000,000,000,000. Are we trying to do anything about it other that whine on social media? We better before it's too late!

Have you read that part of Declaration of Independence lately after that "...life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" stuff? You might want to check it out. 

~ Pester Brat

National Debt Update 11/25/2021

 According to usdebtclock.org the National Debt on this date at 6:28 PM is over 28 Trillion 987 Billion Dollars. That, my friends comes out to over 229 Thousand Dollars per Taxpayer and 87 Thousand Dollars per citizen. It's not looking good with the 1.2 Trillion Dollar so-called Infrastructure bill recently passed and the 3.5 Trillion Dollar Build Back Better bill they're trying to pass. What are we doing to our children and grandchildren if we even make it until they get older if we don't do anything about this?
