About Valentine Day - Saturday, February 14, 2009
Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts areexchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But whois this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? Thehistory of Valentine's Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded inmystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance.St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of bothChristian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine andhow did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, theCatholic Church recognizes at least three different saints namedValentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome...

In return to the scripture found in II Chronicles 7:14
November 24, 2009 by theonlinefriend
"In return to the scripture found in II Chronicles 7:14"
"If
my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
The clarion call to prayer is to a specific targeted group of people . . . "those who are called by His name."
It is not to the political arena, not to the nation nor is it to the
world. It is readily apparent the call to prayer that will heal our
nation is to God's people exclusively, and the healing we need will
come in no other fashion.
Without taking ourselves too
seriously, at the same time we must realize that we play the pivotal
role in the healing of our particular nation in which we reside. This places the responsibility for the spiritual climate directly upon our shoulders.
The call is not to just a few spiritual people, but it is to ALL
of God's people. Even more shocking in the verse is the call to God's
people to do four specific things which include the following:
1.) we are to humble ourselves.
2.) pray.
3.) seek God's face (His face to face eye contact/not His hands).
4.) and turn from their wicked ways.
If God's people follow these four simple steps which are very reasonable, then God promises to heal the land.
While the first three steps are easily understood by most of us, the
fourth step is a bit difficult to process. It may come as a shock to us
that God is asking His people to turn from their wicked ways. Again, we
are not always certain to what length the umbrella of "God's people"
may extend, we may rest assured that we are probably included under
that category. Only God truly knows who "his people" are.
Nevertheless,
back to the fourth command in which God commands us to turn from our
wicked ways, we find the real secret to revival. When God's
people deal with their deeper issues of sins against the Spirit by
repentance, whatever those particular issues may be for each of us,
somehow the world is stirred to repentance. Our "turning from our
wicked ways' is the catalyst to revival in the land. It is up to us,
and it is within reach.
What is truly sobering
concerning this fourth point of turning from our wicked ways, is that
God's people are often totally unaware of the need to do so.
When we awaken to our own need for repentance, something is triggered
that brings conviction in our communities among a host of unregenerated
individuals. May the Holy Spirit speak to each of us personally about
what He has in mind when the Spirit says, "and turn from our wicked
ways."
It may well be easier for to execute the first three
points of the prayer mandate in II Chronicles 7:14 than it is to
accomplish the fourth point. Yet, the fourth point is probably the very most critical to "healing the land."

Re: "The Best Place to Meet New People!"
November 13, 2009 by theonlinefriend
Hi
Sorry to know about the experience our member (LightBringer) has with MyYearBook.
The posted information was quoted from MyYearBook. It is possible (like other social networks online) that some people will not find a particular website to be the best place for them. Others younger or older my like the features.
I just joined this week to share interesting information as I have been doing at other places on the internet. I sincerely hope no one will "harass" me on that site. But as I said, some people will like it while others may just say it may not be for them. Millions seems to like it.
I guess "different strokes for different people" applies.

Greetings from Yoli about "Garbage Truck"
November 9, 2009 by theonlinefriend
Are you a garbage truck?
parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of
the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really
friendly. So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!' This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.' He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.
So...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
So Have A Garbage-Free Day!

Now they say: "TV Ads That Refuse to Be Ignored"
August 13, 2009 by theonlinefriend
Coming soon to your TV: More advertising, in places you might not expect.
The ads are showing up where people used to enjoy a break from advertising, such as video on demand and on-screen channel guides. Even...which became popular for its technology that lets people skip TV commercials, is developing new ways to show ads.
As a result, you won't necessarily see more traditional, 30-second
commercials. Instead, many of the new TV ads will resemble online ads
-- interactive and often shaped for individual members of the audience.
They'll also be harder to ignore. Typically, you can't opt out of
seeing them.

"Jackson's personal doctor was in financial trouble"
August 1, 2009 by theonlinefriend
Dr. Conrad Murray was in dire financial shape when he signed on as Michael Jackson's personal physician earlier this year at $150,000 a month.
The Las Vegas cardiologist owed a total of at least $780,000 in judgments against him and his medical practice, outstanding mortgage payments on his house, delinquent student loans, child support and credit cards.
Court records chronicling Murray's woes in Las
Vegas, where authorities searched his home this week as part of a
manslaughter investigation into Jackson's death, might help explain why
— beyond the chance to get close to a celebrity — Murray seized the
chance to keep the pop star healthy through a series of concerts in
London.

"...I will be their God."
July 22, 2009 by theonlinefriend
Abram fell face down, and God said to him, 'As for me, this is my
covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. No longer
will you be called Abram ; your name will be Abraham, for I have made
you a father of many nations. I will make you very fruitful; I will
make nations of you, and kings will come from you. I will establish my
covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your
descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and
the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where
you are now an alien, I will give as an everlasting possession to you
and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.' Genesis 17:3-8 NIV.

Poll: Do you believe that Fathers Day is as important as Mothers Day?
May 30, 2009 by theonlinefriend
"Mother’s Day Vs. Father’s Day"
Mother’s Day comes in May, followed closely by Father’s Day. It’s kind of nice having the two special days of recognition merely six weeks apart. I’m particularly thankful that Mom’s come first in May...Dads are second in June. What really bothers me is the blatant inequality of these nationally celebrated holidays. Think about it.On Mother’s Day, we feed our moms. That second Sunday in May rolls around and every restaurant in town is reserved. People everywhere are saying the same thing: It’s Mom’s special day — let’s fatten her up.

"Mother's Day"
Author: Carol Matthews
A Mother loves right
She holds her baby close to her heart.
The bond that grows will never falter.
Her love is so strong it will never alter.
A Mother gives never ending Love.
She never feels that she has given enough.
For you she will always do her best.
Constantly working, there's no time to rest.
A Mother is there when things go wrong.
A hug and a kiss to help us along.
Always there when we need her near.
Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear.
So on this day shower your Mother with Love.
Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough.
Give your Mother a day to have some peace of mind.
Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind.
Happy Mothers Day.

Poll: Are Climate Changes and Earth Day really important?
April 26, 2009 by theonlinefriend
"Lifestyle changes can curb climate change: IPCC chief"
...Don't eat meat, ride a bike, and be a frugal shopper -- that's how you can help brake global warming, the head of the United Nation's Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change said Tuesday.The 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), issued last year, highlights "the importance of lifestyle changes," said Rajendra Pachauri at a press conference in Paris.
"This is something that the IPCC was afraid to say earlier, but now we have said it."
A vegetarian, the Indian economist made a plea for people around the world to tame their carnivorous impulses.
"Please eat less meat -- meat is a very carbon intensive commodity," he said, adding that consuming large quantities was also bad for one's health.

Poll: Is it a parent's responsibility to provide a college education for a child?
April 19, 2009 by theonlinefriend
Paying for college a parental 'duty'
As with politics and religion, I have discovered it is a bad idea to discuss whether a parent is obligated to pay for his kid's college education.
In this space on Sunday, I said no. To me, an 18-year-old adult with
smarts enough to get into college can figure out how to pay for it,
too.
"Another low point," a caller sneered, and then informed me that he had paid his children's college tuition out of "duty."
OK. He gets to brag over drinks after golf about the heavenly amounts he spent on his kids' educations.

Poll: Given the choice, would you rather be rich or slim?

Why take a liquid nutrition?
One word--ABSORPTION!!!
The nutrients in Veriuni's Advanced Liquid Nutrition are up to 98%
absorbable. Compare that to the less effective 5-10% absorption rate
for capsules or hard-to-swallow compressed "horse pills" with
unfavorable vitamin aftertastes.
Advanced Liquid Nutrition is a truly unique dietary supplement because
one ounce contains nearly every daily nutrient required for vigorous
health. Read the label carefully: 77 plant derived minerals, 13
vitamins, 18 amino acids, 12 herb and 7 other nutrients are
incorporated into this great-tasting product.
These nutrients all come from natural sources (such as
plant-derived colloidal minerals), making them more easily absorbed by
your body for maximum healthful benefits.
Diet Pills Don't Work Over the Long Term
April 5, 2009 by theonlinefriend
"The skinny on diet pills"
According to a recent study conducted by the University of Michigan, approximately 25 percent of girls seeking to lose weight turn to diet pills. Unfortunately, many of these girls will end up disappointed, or worse, sick.Diet pills are not very effective in promoting long-term weight loss because they act on immediate sources of weight gain instead of focusing on fat loss. Additionally, the energy-increasing ingredients such as ephedra and caffeine cause several harmful side effects, including mild to severe anxiety, bloating, stomach cramps, headaches, nausea, light-headedness, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, blurred vision and insomnia.
So why do people keep using these products?

Poll: What is the best thing about Spring Break?
March 29, 2009 by theonlinefriend
"Helping children...spring"
...A wonderful way to help kids develop observation skills. Honing observation skills in nature teaches focus, presence, and living in the moment. Observation skills make people better writers, scientists, and global citizens. Using nature to teach these skills can shake children and parents alike out of the rut of day-to-day life.
Observing nature can help kids get comfortable with their
surroundings and feel as if they have some knowledge and mastery of
their world. This can naturally help children with their self-esteem
and It can help them develop and trust their intuition. The more they
are aware of their surroundings the more they will be apt to notice if
something is awry.

Should You Fire Your Financial Adviser?
March 28, 2009 by theonlinefriend
"Should You Fire Your Financial Adviser?"
When it comes to rogue money managers, crooks like Bernie Madoff get all the publicity. But cowboys, charlatans and clowns are far more common, and do most of the real damage.
There are about 270,000 portfolio managers and investment advisers
working in America these days. Tens of millions of Americans have a
"finance guy" (or "finance gal") of various types to handle their
money.
Many are wondering these days if they made a bad mistake. I presume most financial advisers are ethical and competent. But I hear from a lot of readers and I must say I am shocked at the way so many have been advised.
It's not simply that they've lost money. Everbody lost money last year, even Warren Buffett.
How can you tell if you should fire your finance guy? Based on
emails I've received from reader, here are 10 things that should tip
you off.
He didn't just lose money, he lost money stupidly.
Everyone had a bad year. But only a fool was still treating Fannie Mae
preferred stock as a "conservative investment" when it was 40 cents on
the dollar.

Poll: Is the US Economy starting to improve?
March 22, 2009 by theonlinefriend
"...The “Difficult-to-Understand” Economic Mess is Easy to See"
Many
commentators have described the current economic disaster as “difficult
to understand.” But that’s not really true: The United States and the
world in general are currently undergoing the inevitable aftermath of a
decade of excessive money creation, from 1995 in the United States, and
from 2001 for much of the rest of the world.
Not only did such a
prolonged period of cheap money produce asset bubbles in stocks,
housing and commodities, it also produced a leverage bubble of
excessive debt among consumers, businesses and financial institutions
that must be wound down, an agonizingly painful process.
