You can tell the true character of a Man by the way he treats someone who can do absolutely nothing for him...

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Thomas Jefferson

Believed that America�s hope lay in small, agricultur-based communities. He disliked cities & worried about urban mobs. His faith was in the ordinary citizen farmer:

�Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever He had a chosen people.�

This quote inspires me, because it indicates that much of what Christians, today, believe about the founders of this country and WHY they wrote the law as they did, has nothing whatsoever to do with Chistianity, and everything to do with what was Known, understood, and accepted by the vast majority at the time.

Just like Constantine, creating a law that LOOKED familiar, felt familiar, BUT remained open enough to be interpreted with a fair and open mind - IF ONLY ONE MAINTAINED such a thing.

This is also why the Supreme Court Judges are the only ones allowed to "interpret" law. Their entire JOB, thier duty revolves around knowing, and understanding people like Jefferson, and what he REALLY meant, what they all meant, whey they created the 'Open-ended' laws.

"I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened."

John F. Kennedy

It is better to live like there is a god, and find out there is not; than to live like there is not one, and find out that there is.

"This nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened."

John F. Kennedy 6-11-1963

"I hope that no American . . . will waste his
franchise and throw away his vote by voting
either for me or against me solely on account
of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant."


"Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one�s own beliefs.

Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others."

John F. Kennedy
(1917-1963) 35th US President

"never are lies more convincing than when mixed with truth's" - book of truth's (c) 1996 cl

A people or nation, no matter how wealthy, cannot take care of the world's hurting masses. Nor will it ever really know how to until it can properly take care of it's own hurting nasses. When all of one's nation are being well fed, dressed,housed, educated, and kept healthy and employed making an adequete income to meet their needs, then it will be so clear as to how the rest of the world can be helped to bring them to the same point. Until then, we wil all suffer needlessly. - book of truth's (c) 1996 cl

"Don't sweat the small stuff. ..and its all small stuff."

...........ISAIAH 40: 28 - 31.......................


Hast thou not known?

hast thou not heard,

that the everlasting God,

the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,

neither is weary?

there is no searching of his understanding.


He giveth power to the faint;

and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.

And now...for the WHOLE chapter of Isaiah 40....it is better to read it all....

...........The Book of Isaiah..............




Chapter 40

1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.

3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
The voice Matt 3:3, Mark 1:3, Luke 1:17, Luke 1:76, Luke 3:4, John 1:23

4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
Every valley Luke 3:5

5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Luke 3:6

6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
1st Peter 1:24

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
1st Peter 1:24

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
1st Peter 1:24,25

9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
Rom 11:34

14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
1st Cor 2:16

15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.

17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

23
That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
