			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<address><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;Not everyone who calls me &#8216;Lord, Lord&#8217; will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only those who do what my Father in heaven wants them to do. When the Judgement Day comes, many will say to me, &#8216;Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God&#8217;s message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles! Then I will say to them, &#8216;I never knew you. Get away from me, you wicked people!&#8221; </span> Matthew 7:21-23</address>
<p>How can it be that a person who performs miracles and drives out demons in Jesus&#8217; name, be called wicked by His own divine mouth? Unfortunately, it&#8217;s  easy, and simple. Pride, and judgement. Pride is like when you feel glad that you are who you are because you feel justified or above others. Judgement is not up to you, mortal. We must exalt the LORD on high because HE is righteous and just, and HE has created us all, no matter what nation you come from or what religion you call yourself.</p>
<address>&#8220;God resists the proud, but shows favor to the humble.&#8221;  1 Peter 5:5</address>
<address>&#8220;Do not judge others, so that God will not judge you, for God will judge you in the same way you judge others, and he will apply to you the same rules you apply to others.&#8221;  Matthew 7:1,2</address>
<p>How do we find His favor? Well, he has made available learning. If we are PROUD, we might feel that, &#8220;NO, I don&#8217;t HAVE to read the Bible because I know MY book is better, and because I am right and you are wrong! I proclaim judgement on you in the name of &#8212;&#8211;!&#8221; </p>
<p>That whole concept simply does not fit the awesome loving listening and forgiving  of the LORD God Almighty of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, characterized throughout the entirety of the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible.</p>
<address>“So let us come near  to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water. Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise. Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and do good.&#8221;  Hebrews 10:22-<span style="color: #333333;">24</span></address>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">To reference the words of an important prophet today that I regard very dearly, &#8221;The Lord would say today, cling to unity and love one another. Let your joy flow like a river. May peace permeate your body, soul and spirit. You have not because you ask not. Ask not to waste upon yourself but for the sake of others.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">And in learning to be humble and truly earning the favor of the LORD, please study this wisdom by an ancient wise </span>king, remember these sayings to govern yourself and those under your power:</p>
<address>
<address>&#8220;Better to eat a dry crust of bread with peace of mind than have a banquet in a house full of trouble.&#8221;  Proverbs 17:1</address>
</address>
<address>&#8220;The LORD gave us mind and conscience, we cannot hide from ourselves.&#8221;  Proverbs 20:27</address>

		<description><![CDATA[One day, once a year, is NOT too much to ask for everyone to bow their heads and pray for the lives and memories of veterans and their families, hundreds of thousands our nations' valuable young men and women who are serving or have served in the pursuit of our human rights.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>==============</p>
<p>They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old;</p>
<p>Time shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;</p>
<p>With the going down of the sun, and in the morning,</p>
<p>We will remember them.</p>
<p>================</p>
<p>I thought for a while this night (it is currently the wee hours of Nov. 11th, Remembrance Day) on what I was going to write about.  I got an email, yesterday, about a hyped new traffic generator that guarantees a veritable hurricane of new viral traffic on steroids for my site by cloaking all my links&#8230; er, sounds great&#8230; it sure would be nice to be earning some money for a change and a larger number of website visitors would probably help that&#8230; you know, I&#8217;ll think about that tomorrow. It seems important&#8230; but does it?</p>
<p>Somehow right now though&#8230; with the date on this post being the 11th of November&#8230; it seems somewhat petty or selfish to headline my business. What is truly important here?  Sales?  Traffic?</p>
<p>One day, once a year, is NOT too much to ask for everyone to bow their heads and pray for the lives and memories of veterans and their families, hundreds of thousands our nations&#8217; valuable young men and women who are serving or have served in the pursuit of our human rights.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what was fought for. Many people would say it&#8217;s freedom that was fought for. Freedom, I believe, is a word that is somewhat misunderstood and over-used. Yes our freedoms are a very important part of our national Constitution, and worth fighting for&#8230; but truly, the foundation of human rights, of what not only makes us free people, but makes us as fellow humans beings, joining together in spirit for the purposes of what is good and right&#8230; what makes the world liveable for people who are disadvantaged, and makes the loss of our loved ones in the battle for freedom, not in vain.</p>

<p>================</p>
<p>I pray&#8230; LORD God, Be with and work through the brave soldiers who are making moves and risking their lives to spread to all the human race Your forever-important Teachings about Love, Freedom, Unity, Righteousness, and Truth. Protect them and their loved ones, and bring Peace to those who have lost. Your Love and Forgiveness LORD is all-encompassing, merciful, and just. Thank You FATHER for our lives and for the Love of our families and friends, Thank You LORD for the lessons of the past, and Thank You LORD for the opportunity of this day, to make things right.</p>
<p>Father, In Your Holy Name,  Amen.</p>
<p>===================</p>
<p>To my readers, thank you for your readership and your patronage. I hope you find the meaning in my writings and I hope I have found your care for me and my purpose here. I want to make a difference in this world and help inspire others to make it a better place.</p>
