The Truth Empowered
THE TRUTH
Just wanted to verify who
the true power is, behind
the mind-state of many in this Nation. Many like my-self have dedicated their lives to proving this point. Unfortunately not everyone sees things this way.
The miss-given knowledge through-out the years puts
the Christian mind-state in a small frame of mind; this in the consideration that we impose our view without
listening to the views of others. This simply speaking is true on occasions but only a few sections of the church are so demanding.We are not perfect and yes we certainly do find these discrepancies within the church. The point is: there are,
know-it-alls in every portion of life; home, work, social and play. Therefore just because a few go their, does not mean we should condemn the rest.
I just wanted to give
a voice to reason, in these noted areas of argument. We know everyone is not the same and its true we need to respect the opinions and beliefs of others; lest it be centered in the eyes of evil (harmful to others). It is this very fact that makes
the U.S. the greatest Nation; we all have rights and should render to the other as such.

Devastation Rocks The East Coast
Hurricane Irene left a path of ruthless damage all the way up the east coast. Likewise just before the hurricane, a 5.8 earthquake hit and rocked us hard. That earth quake was felt all the way up the east coast; some reports were as far as Maine. That only set the stage for what was to come next "Irene". Just as the scattered pieces of broken monuments out of , Virginia,Washington (the two worst hit) and other states, Irene showed her path; it was straight forward bound for the east coast. Everyone scrambled to prepare for the storm, but others were less prepared.
The northern east coast does not generally feel the wrath of storms such as "Irene" in the manner that it did this past week. Let alone earth quakes, like we had felt prior to Irene.. Therefore this unfortunate event has caused some seriously costly damage and has taken a hand full of lives in its path. It seems the power of mother nature (known as it is to science) can beun-relentless in its fury. I am not speaking merely of Irene, but the two after shocks from the earth quakes. Early in the week (just after Irene left her destruction) we felt another quake (4.5) and then a day ago (3.5). These after-shocks are not helping with the already critical situation we face at present.
Jersey
Has seen some serious flooding and reports many serious natural disasters this week. They are all a run-off of the hurricane Irene. Streets washed out after rivers bridges the embankments; reaping havoc on small town and some cities.
Mass
By the time Irene hit the coast of Massachusetts it had been down graded from a "Category (1), Hurricane" to "Tropical storm level". This down grading did not effect the intent power of the path of this storm. In fact the storm raged on like nothing had changed; after all the noted title of the power had changed but not the isolated wrath. At one point there were 400,000 power outages in Mass. Rivers bridged flooding farmland, roads, towns and damaging several millions of dollars worth of property. There was even a report of people being killed due to down lines.
Vermont
Vermont has to be the worst for the whole east coast. They have been hit by what seemed to be the once Category (4) level Hurricane in full force (Irene). The damage is so unbelievable, that many are left with nothing. Towns still stranded, without access to roads in or out of there towns lie in wait for rescue. Honestly this is a serious disaster that has many wondering what went wrong? Why was this storm so devastating as a mere tropical storm. How could a tropical storm in New England cause such damage. The river literally destroyed road ways across the state..Leaving an uncertain amount of cost to the state budget. Fema is estimating the damage, but has barely yet begun, because at every turn in this state more trauma shows its face. We should pray for Vermont, in a united force...
New Hampshire
New Hampshire has some damage in periodical areas around the state, but nothing compared to her sister state "Vermont". I can bare witness to the power of mother nature (As God or Satan?); the rivers were relentless with a fierceness that I have never witness. I will be posting the pictures of our river in a few days. Needless to say the bridge over the small river on my street is about 15 ft high. The water came level to the bridge with a power unlike i've ever seen and then it bridged. The water came about a foot over the bridge and then made a river out of rte 118; (White M\ountain region). It's a shocking event I will never forget. We were without power for 4 days straight. Needless to say although i felt that fury that just rocked our nation, I can say, thank God we were spared the long term damage, but we're humbled by that power. That Power I will say, some-how once originated from God.
How Important Is God?
In the consideration of all this destruction, can one not ponder the importance of faith. Yes there are those who will lose allot and early on probably be very angry at God. The thing is this is going to be a time to reflect, to renew through change. It is in times of crisis we are tested and tried, but only to make us better people. Its not just to break us of our strong will, but to humble us to help us see our over baring ego. It is times like these that one can find rebirth (In Jesus we pray) and find then after the light in everything around them. Reflection is always important to bring clarity into our lives and until one is forced to reflect we often do not recognise the beauty life can offer.
Peace
