Benjamin Netanyahu the modern day Mordeca

This week has been full of biblical examples. I am not sure "biblical examples" is a good way to describe it but that is all I have at this time.

First:

Let me start with Benjamin Netanyahu speech that was given in front of the United States Congress. Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on the topic of Persia, and the nuclear deal that our current Administration is playing around with. As I listen to his speech over and over again. I tried to pay attention to the details. It was not until I was sitting with my husband that I pointed out that Benjamin Netanyahu is saying Persia, He is calling Iran by its old name. Why would He do that?

The answer is simple for those who know the biblical story of Esther. 

This is the month of Esther. The month that Jews have on their calender to celebrate and remember the princess of Persia. Esther a Jew, was taken to be Queen to the King Ahasuerus. She saved many Jewish lives thanks to the warning from her cousin Mordicia. (to read the whole story, read the book of Esther) 

 

In Benjamin Netanyahu speech this week, He referred to himself as the modern day Mordicia. I believe this speech is one of the most important speeches I will hear in my life time. We as a Nation like in our history will come to a point when we will have to pick a side. Benjamin Netanyahu came to warn us. He came to wake the American people. However I am afraid that no one was listening.

The Jewish people, along with Christians are being attacked. Will America be the modern day Esther? Will we stand up and side with Israel?

Second:

Husband and I went and saw the movie "The dropbox" last night. A story about a selfless Pastor and his wife living in South Korea rescuing babies through a large box that he installed on the side of his house. 

As I watched the heart touching movie, I was reminded that all children are a gift. Not only are children a gift, but they are sent to earth by God for a purpose. Many of the children that Pastor Lee and his wife take in have some kind of disability. The selfless love that this Pastor and his wife show is incredible. I left that movie theater not with a broken heart, but with a heart that was tender . I was happy for the babies who were going to be given a chance to fulfill Gods purpose, but what I continue to think about is the poor girls who were the mothers of these babies. The girls who lived in a society that gave them no other choice but to abandon their baby. My heart hurts for those girls and women. This morning I just prayed that God would find all those mothers, and heal their broken hearts, because only God can do that. Only God will give them a whole heart. 

Pray that God will show you what it is that He wants you to learn or do with your life, We all have a purpose.

Somali Extremist

with Somali extremist most recent call to attack the Mall of America in Minnesota it only makes me wonder what is next for Columbus Ohio. Most Americans do not know that Minnesota has the largest Somali population in the US, with Columbus Ohio being the 2nd largest Somali population. Us as Americans should remember the horrible attack on the Mall in Kenya, that was lead by Somali extremist. This is real.

International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation

It was not until recent that I came across Female Genital Mutilation due to an experience I had at my work place. I was completely taken back at what I was told. The images that flashed into my head were unbelievable.  It was over a matter of days that I thought about this concept, this evil, and this abusive power,or maybe power isn't even the right word to describe it.

For those who do not know what Female Genital Mutilation is, I will inform you. FGM is a operation, in which the female Genitals mainly the clitoris is partially or entirely removed or injured with the goals of altering a woman's sexual feelings.  This operation in the past years has been done mainly before puberty between the ages of 4-6, but increasingly the popularity of FGM is being performed on girls much younger. As young as a couple days old.

As I write out this blog post my stomach hurts, My mind is going in a million different direction, Why do people do this? I have not done much research into the back ground of this horrible practice other than knowing that it is a major practice found in many Muslim communities.

I can't help but think of how silly us as America's our. Thinking that we are raging war on women because certain people don't believe in abortions or you may not be paid as much as your male co worker. When really we have no idea what the true war on women is like. Today is international day of zero tolerance to female genital mutilation. It is the topics like this that weigh heavy on my heart, making me wish that Jesus would come back soon.

Let us raise awareness and have zero tolerance. Let us focus on the real war on women and pray for girls to be rescued, and souls to be saved.

Premiums are going up and well folks your healthcare.... is worse.

Yesterday the Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) released a report regarding Premiums and Plan offerings in Obamacare’s exchanges for the upcoming 2014 year. Despite the Obama administration promises, as many Americans have already figured out do to letters from insurance company’s or from a notice from there employee healthcare premiums are going up and the quality of coverage…. Is worse.

What the HHS report did not mention is that many of these plans are a lot like what America knows as Medicaid; actually these new plans are Medicaid managed care plans. Insurance companies admit “Will look a lot like the Medicaid plans we are currently administering,” Not all patient know or understand that they are going to be placed in programs with very low physician reimbursements rates and less coverage then the average insurance plan. 

I want to encourage you to take time and pray for our leaders and our current health care.  America needs a healthcare that encourages a good patient-physician relationship, not a healthcare that hinders their relationship.

America is in for a rude Awaking, if we do not get things turned around.

House Passes Spending bill that will Defund ObamaCare!!

What a morning it has been in the House! The Representatives on both sides stood up and spoke out today against the healthcare law. It is a great day! It has been before the House 47 times; 47 times it took for them to vote to stop Obamacare while funding the government to prevent a shutdown. The vote was 230-189. The House of Representatives made a big leap today having listened to the people of America!! It is now time for the bill to go before Senate and for it to be voted on.

Each day new regulations come to light in the healthcare world making it harder and harder on practices who are trying to make a difference in the lives of their patients. It’s hard trying to save the world when you have to debate an insurance company over the phone on why a patient needs diagnostic testing; we should not have to explain why a patient needs a stress test if he has a history of heart concerns and heart palpation's. I see people hurt by this law already, and it is frustrating.

Along with Cleveland Clinic and UPS this week Home Depot came out saying that because of health care cost they would be dropping their full time employees to part time so that they would not have to pay into the horrible health care cost. At my own job this week I found out that my insurance is going to increase more than 20 dollars for just me. That is more than 40 plus dollars a month, and I’m a current health care working. This health care is not creating jobs Mr. President. It is as Rep Eric Cantor said “Obamacare is turning America from a full-time to a part-time America.” Here is a list of other company's that are cutting hours do to high healthcare cost and insurance changes. 

I ask you to pray and encourage our leaders in the senate to vote on what is best for the people of America.  Listening to the people of America should not be a limited exercise. We need the leaders in the senate to bring this to the senate floor and have this healthcare debate.

Hears to hoping Senate follows the House in listening to the people of America.

For the Record the government shutdown is a political game that no one has time to play!

IRS and their friends called DRONES

An agency leader told congress Wednesday that the FBI uses drones for domestic surveillance. Mueller, director of Federal Beurea of Investigation confirmed that the FBI owned multiple unmanned vehicles. but has not adopted any strict guidelines yet to govern the use of the controversial aircraft 

America should not be surprised. I'm not, look at our technology. Look at the AP phone scandal where multiple phone companies have handed over phone records of costumers. Look at the law suite dealing with medical records being handed over to our currently administration. Americans privacy bubble has already been popped folks. Big brother is already here to play. 


Feeling sarcastic.

Delays for American Travelers

Thanks to the new budget cuts travelers will be seeing delays at the airport. This budget cut imposed by the federal Aviation Administration, under the budget cuts approved by President Obama and Congress on Wednesday. 

It even seems that the FAA are proud that they are making this cut:

 “the FAA management has stated in meetings that they need to make the furloughs as hard as possible for the public so that they understand how serious it is.” 

Wow! What a statement! The map of flights  doesn't look back right now but its been less then a day. Can't wait to see the map in a few days.

No Taxation Without Representation.

Internet sales tax is back! It will be the next big vote to go through Senate.  Kinda funny, right? (or is it just me that laughed out loud when I read the headlines) It appears to be another one of Washington’s bad idea, at a time when consumers and businesses are struggling to get by. *Cough *Cough, Obama care regulation. 

The proposed law would enable states to force businesses to collect sales tax from customers who live in their state—even when the businesses have no connection to that state. The S. 743 improperly named as the "Marketplace Fairness Act"  gives the power to states to force out of state businesses to serve as a tax collector, which overrules the U.S. Supreme court's 1992 decision in Quille Corporation v. North Dakota. 

Its as simple as this- True, states are struggling with budgeting.  True, They should be able to manage their budgets. False, They should not be able manage their debt by trying to collect taxes from citizens from other states. I'm sure those citizens are paying enough in tax in their own state, I know I am. 

I don’t see this no taxation without representation helping the economy locally or nationally. Sure, it would increase state tax collections percentage, maybe. Along with encouraging states to increase the size of their taxing powers, it also discourages free-market competition between states.
