Miners in Chile (rescued, after all)

The world stopped to watch miners being rescued in Chile. Millions and millions of viewers through TV. Chilean president, Mr. Pinera, today is well known all over! I heard that some film-maker already trying to sign contracts with miners as soon as possible! Yes, out of the chaos God can produce miracles and miracles...

Today, situation is as follows:

1. The whole world knows that Chile is located in South America.
2. The whole world knows that Chile speaks spanish.
3. The whole world knows that Mr. Pinera is president of Chile.
4. The whole world knows that miners work under very difficult conditions.
5. The whole world knows that it is possible to use technology to rescue lives.

There were 33 miners. The one who knelt down with a Bible in hands, was the espiritual leader of them all. They are all heroes, yes - that is for sure! To survive 72 days beneath the earth... is actually an act of God!

May God bless each one of the miners!
May God bless Chile!
May God bless my reader!

Wacky election candidates reveal problems at heart of Brazil politicsBy Maria Luisa Cavalcanti

BBC Brasil


Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva is expected to be voted in by more than a million people "What does a federal deputy do? Truly, I don't know. But vote for me and I will find out for you."

This is one of the political slogans of a man who is expected to enter the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Congress, in the general election on 3 October with the backing of more than a million voters.

If the phrase sounds like some sort of joke, perhaps you will not be surprised to learn that this particular candidate is a professional clown.

Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, or Tiririca as he is known, started working in a circus at the age of eight in the impoverished north-eastern state of Ceara, and is now a TV comedian.
_________________________________________________________

This is what I myself think on the subject:

1. Tiririca is actually a professional clown.
2. Brazilian Chamber of Deputies is full of amateur clowns...
3. Had I been born in Sao Paulo State, I would vote for Tiririca ehe ehe ehe!
4. Voting for a professional clown would be my way of protesting against amateurs!

May God bless Tirica... At least, I shall laugh and laugh and laugh a lot!

KORAN PROTEST PASTOR TO GET £100,000 BILL



Preacher Terry Jones, who planned to burn the Koran, is to receive a £100,000 bill
Monday September 20,2010
By Lianne Kolirin MAVERICK preacher Terry Jones, who sparked an international crisis over plans to burn the Koran, is to receive a £100,000 bill for police security.


More than 200 officers, including members of a SWAT team, were on duty at the church in Florida where Jones planned a burning of the holy book.

A huge security operation was put into place even though the pastor called off the protest, which was condemned by US President Barack Obama.

EXPRESS OFFER: CLAIM £15 IN FREE BETS HERE!


The police bill in Gainesville comes to more than £50,000 and the Sheriff’s office spent a similar amount after putting almost all its officers on duty.

Pastor Jones, 58, and members of his Dove World Outreach Centre planned to throw 200 copies of the Islamic book on a bonfire on the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America.

The event was cancelled after US Defence Secretary Robert Gates called Jones and told him soldiers in Afghanistan would be put at greater risk by the stunt. With 48 hours until the planned burning, Jones scrapped the event saying he had secured a promise from the backers of a mosque at Ground Zero that it would be moved to a new site.

He flew to New York for talks with the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who is behind the project, but he was snubbed.

The bill could bankrupt Jones and his church but he insists he will not pay, saying: “If we had known this in advance, we would have refused the security.”
_____________________________________________________________

This is what I myself think about the subject:

1. Terry Jones tried to call the world's attention to himself, to his church;
2. Someone at Terry's church should have warned him about consequences of his acts;
3. Many muslims burn flags, bibles, etc and nothing happens in Western world;
4. Western has been super tolerant with Islamism; not the opposite is true;
5. In fact, we should all respect someone's religion.

Life is too short. We should all live in peace. Peace, please!

Susan Boyle: she deserves all the very best...

I must say my heart went out to her since I saw her singing!
She is actually a great singer, hidden for quite a good time!
But the Lord made her sing in public (Britains Got Talent).
Now, Susan deserves all she will certainly get!
A reader (radical, for sure!) might say: how the Lord could possibly use her!?
Easy to explain: the Lord has his own ways of doing things...!
The Lord has his own ways of taking people out of poverty-misery-hidden places!
May God bless Susan Boyle. She deserves it all!

"Do everything without complaining or arguing" (Philippians 2.14)

We do many things.
We do not do many things.
Things were made to be done
Things were made to be destroyed - sometimes.
Life is like this: some good & some bad things taking place every single day!
We complain a lot! Hu-mans complain too much; animals do not! But, we are all animals, right?

We argue a lot! Hu-mans argue too much; animals do not! Aren't we all animals!?
In which way(s) are we hu-mans better than animals?
In fact, many animals are far much better than hu-mans!
Many hu-mans behave worse than animals!

May God forgive all hu-mans and protect, and protect all animals!

STREET PREACHER
Every month, I use to go to the beach Beira-Mar, in my hometown, to preach the word of God. I do not use electronic equipment because this would require especial permission from local city hall. It is widely known here that our lady-mayor is not, by no means, fan of believer!

The text used was Matthews 6.24: you cannot serve-dedicate yourself to two Lords: God and the money! You ought to make a choice in your life!

On today's world, people do not actually only run for money, they transpire, they breath, they smell money and long for it everywhere!!! How sad indeed!!!

Bible says that ALL who breath-transpire money shall have consequences. The problem is not - by no means - the money itself, but the LOVE for it, for the money! Therefore, be wise and:

1. Ask yourself: who is my Lord?;
2. Am I happy?;
3. Happiness means money?;
4. Should it not be time enough for a change in my life?;
5. Think your whole life over and over again - today, today, today.

Remember: life is too short for you to waste it running after money.

I have been receiving lots of e-mails asking what the picture below actually means.

It means-represents an angel seen by other cultures; not christians. In fact, our God is Lord of all repeat of all cultures and they (cultures) have different aproach(es) to the representation of angels, for example.

There is an (or many!) angel(s) surrounding us...

Such a long time such a short life!

There are commandments to obey, but who actually obey them?
There are roads-ways to be chosen, but who actually follow the best!?
There are misteries, un-seen things, things to be yet disclosed...!!!
In fact, we are all pilgrims in this land, and so shall be until our death.
Our lives shall be around 70, after that, we shall all feel tired... (Salm 90.10).
Taking into consideration our short life, we ought to:

1. Focus on our God;
2. Focus on our family;
3. Focus on our relationships;
4. Focus on things from a precise-intended angle;
5. Focus on ourselves, not on someone's else life.

Concentrate on a few things... You, dear reader, will NOT have a long time...

He gave them these orders: "You must serve faithfully and wholeheartedly in the fear of the LORD (2Cr 19.9).

(...) and that love might be eternal, while it lasts! (V.de Morais, brazilian poet).

We all know that eternity means "non-duration of time"!

If my reader has made pledges of love before a priest-altar, he ought to be faithfull, for God's sake!

Some people say that women are not un-faithfull, she just "get revenge", wow! That is nonsense! Men & women are un-faithfull sometimes...!!! But it should NOT be this way, not at all! Ok, then what to do!?

1. Be faithfull;
2. Cultivate the relationship, for it is like a rose... needs water;
3. Have a "good heart" and and not a bad-one;
4. Have J.Christ as prior-superior example;
5. Stop now and start praying! Yes, yes, yes, start praying for you!

Lula, brazilian president, visits Israel

Lula, brazilian president, has been in Israel this week. He is trying to be sort of mediator between israelis and palestines! Not easy job!

Brazilians are nice people (this is true, believe me!): glad, talkative, easy-to-cope with and welcome all over the world, which is good indeed. But in case of Lula, there is a problem: he is ver very close friend to president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who promised to "erase" Israel from global map!

Iranian nuclear projects certainly include atomic bomb to - wow! - erase Israel once and for all! Does anyone out there think differently, huh? Yes, Lula and his disciples from the left wing party PT (labour party) think that Ahmadinejad is good boy and kind and tender and friendly and absolutely devoted to world peace...!!!

Lula rejected invitation to visit tomb of Theodor Herzl, but our president gladly gladly gladly accepted invitation to visit tomb of Yasser Arafat, in Ramallah! But cool down, reader! Lula and disciples certainly understand that Arafat, similarly to Ahmadinejad, Arafat was a cool boy, and tender, and gentle and totally devoted to world peace, that including jews!

See! Brazilians are very very very strange people!

Do not think too much...

Some think money might bring all happiness; it is not true;
Some think money might bring all confort; it is equally not true;
Some think money might give all the power; it is a tremendous fraud;
Some think money might make people love us; it is not not not true;
Some think money might "buy love & respect"; it is not true, at all.

Some think God forgot him/her; how could Father forsakes children?
Some think God created universe and left it at random; it is not true;
Some think God has favorite children; really? Are you one of them?
Some think God has been too much busy; ok: request an appointment with Him!

March 8th - International Day of Women

Woman who is solely source of all human life...
Woman who is actually the very best of God's blessed hands...
Woman who is capable of everything...
Woman who is all powerful, though she might eventually fake not to be...
Woman who is capable to transform people and things by a mere looking...
Woman who, sometimes silenced, even utters and speaks and clarifies so very much...
Woman: the best of the best ever created by God.

Man is nothing but an accident (ugly one!).
Man is totally dependent upon woman.
Man fakes to be strong.

The last will be the winner!

But whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister (Matthew 20.26).

Salome, mother of James and John wanted her sons (oh, boys!)to have granted seats: on the right and on the left side of Jesus, in the Kingdom to come. Jesus did not actually appreciate the request, at all. Jesus said that positions in the Kingdom of the Son were planned by the Father, and the Son, and the Unity of Godhead, would only give such positions to those to whom the Father had determined to grant them.

The 10 disciples were moved with indignation. Jesus felt the need to come and say: whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister. Wow, that was great!

Points to ponder:
1. Humans just love to fake to be important, great, prominent etc;
2. Salome, as a mother, would do anything for her "two little boys!";
3. James actually drank of the cup... He was one of the first martyrs;
4. Yes: disciples were sometimes "discussing a lot";
5. Jesus came into sight and made the 10 indignant-boys, lambs...

The real points are:
1. Real important is the servant-minister;
2. Each one of us must assume his-her own life; mom should not come into sight;
3. True christians suffer indignities of the cross on daily basis;
4. Big turmoils-fights etc etc etc take place behind the pulpits;
5. But peace is not that far from us: Bible is yours to enjoy peace!

May all my readers have a blessed week.

Contemporary Art of Madrid 2010

Eugenio Merino (spanish) is author of this "art" which is called Stairway to Heaven.

Points to ponder:

1. Would you, reader, consider it as real art?;
2. Since when piling up icons-objects should be considered art?;
3. Muslins + christians + jews did not like it, at all;
4. To play art with religious icons is not art, it is deep insanity;
5. The un-known Eugenio is now somewhat known...

This "crazy-art-thing" was sold for EUR 45.000,00, in a few minutes, to a belgium.

Oh yeah, I think Mr. Eugenio should apply for good life insurance.

The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you Numbers 6.26)

Carnival comes from carnem-levare (Latin, without flesh). Ancient pagan feast created in Greece about 640 b.C. and continued in Rome...

In Brazil, the pagan feast began in 1640 and never ever stopped, until today...!!!

Brazil became world-wide famous for the dances etc etc etc in Rio (mainly) and it is part of dreams of millions...

In fomer former times, Carnival in Brazil:

1. People were NOT used to eat flesh, to take part in orgies...;
2. Couples used NOT to have sex relations before Passover;
3. Some could even not to take bath;
4. Mirrors were covered with purple clothes;
5. People used NOT to take part in orgies.

Today:

1. People eat everything...;
2. Couples do whatever they can-wish;
3. Nothing is avoided, at all...;
4. Mirrors are hung over necks and God knows where else...
5. Brazil literally stops for 4 days, oh Lord!

Well, will you actually go out dancing Carnival? Try staying alive!

US Mercy vessel is anchored in Haiti, receiving as many injured people as possible. This is a real hu-man/christian action - no doubt. Yet, for some weird reason, someone asked who is going to pay for all expenses... and, then, for some hours, all aid was stopped!!!

Meanhile, today, on all TVs, it was reported that 10 americans were arrested in the border Haiti-D.Republic with dozens of children (!!!???). Wow, what kind of school bus was this!? What kind of tour was this, gentlemen? Haitian police force (if any, poor guys) declared to press that americans were kidnapping haitian kids!

Haiti - and now!?

Haitians and all whole world thank Lord and generous people who have been helping the poorest country of Americas. But after the terrible earthquake (7.5 Richter) that completely destroyed capital Port-Au-Prince, we have points to ponder:

1. Why only AFTER catastrophes hu-mans start helping other hu-mans?;
2. Why rich countries did not help Haiti BEFORE earthquake?;
3. Why rich countries faked Haiti was not next-to-their doors?;
4. Why US "invaded" Haiti WITHOUT ONU authorisation (once again!)?;
5. Why "christians" now jumped over Haiti with clear target to "look good" (some)...?

Why "look good"? Simple: again, why NOT BEFORE?

I should give thanks to the Lord for what I am and all I have;

I should stare the little boats (local rafts) while sailing away to trouble waters;
I should picture myself on those brave fishmen who leave beloved ones every dawn;
I should be tantalised by big vessels berthing alongside my Fortaleza Port;

When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him (Lv 19.33)

I do hope some of my readers (almost 7!)might congratulate me for 48 years of age!

Being a wanderer-of-God is my destiny; to live is just a detail. I am not from this world; I am from heavens. But I am not in a hurry to return home - no way, baby! Father might wait for me some time longer...

Some people say that best period in life is that of childhood!

A few people would say: for sure!

Days ago, my niece Esther (6 years old), after listening to adult talks on eating flesh, fish or anything "eatable", she uttered: I don't like eating some flesh with feathers or whatever...!!! Wow, that's weird! It made me ponder:

1. Let's avoid eating "red flesh";
2. Let's eat some more white flesh or fish;
3. Let's avoid eating too much. It is a sinful act...;
4. Let's drink some good-quality red wine. Good for blood circulation;
5. Let's pray before and after eating (just to make it sure!).
