ROSARY RALLY 2013, OCTOBER 12, 2013

Rosary Rally Crusade was held yesterday, October 12, 2013 all over the United States.  I was on one of the rallies which was held at a park. The prayer started promptly at 12 noon local time...weather was gorgeous...sunny and a little bit on the cooler side, which was fantastic.  It was a very successful, blessed and happy event shared by the rally attendees. After the rally, we stayed at the park socializing since it was a beautiful day. A wonderful, wonderful event....and I thank all of the rally participants that help me pray and make the rally a very successful one this year. Everyone felt sooo blessed and cannot wait for the rally next year. We hope and pray that we will do it again next year, God willing.

Purpose of the rally was to pray for our beloved country and the whole world, organized by America Needs Fatima organization. There were 11,247 rallies held which exceeded expectations of 10,000. Isn't that amazing?  11,247 rallies praying at the same time for America and the world.  People that joined felt so blessed and happy and knew that in a small way helped pray for our country and the world. We sure need the prayers, don't you all agree? I am sure that God and the Blessed Virgin Mary are so happy for our prayers and I hope and pray that God will continue to bestow His blessings to our dear, beloved country and the world.

May God bless all of us and have a great, blessed and happy day!

OBAMACARE STINKS!!!! September 26, 2013

OBAMACARE STINKS!!!

Just got my 2014 health care renewal....thanks a lot to Obamacare...my prescription drug coverage stinks!!! Now I have a copay of more than $300.00 ( which I did not have before), plus I have to pay 25 percent for my prescription, generic or preferred generic or whatever drug I buy! Twenty five percent! It is like paying the whole thing!! My co-pay to a specialist increased also, and I have not even read everything yet!

Do we really want Obamacare? I did my part...I tweet and called many senators over the last 2 days to defund, repeal and vote NO to cloture on the senate votes which will take place very, very soon. ...

I applaud and have a lot of respect to Senator Ted Cruz ( R... Texas), for staying on the senate floor " filibustering" Obamacare amidst a sea of senators that do not care even one bit for their fellow Americans! It seems that Sen Ted Cruz and a handful of senators are the only ones that can connect with us ordinary people, and knows what this Obamacare really entails! Come to think of it, why would the senators care about us..after all, they, their families and probably their employees are exempt from Obamacare. Which leads me to my next question...If they really love Obamacare, they should be enrolled in it also, just like the rest of us, don't everybody agree?

May God help and bless all of us!

LABOR DAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2013

It is Labor Day, last day for summer activities especially barbecuing ribs, chicken, steak, hamburger, hot dogs, vegetables etc..etc... Excuse me, talk about yourself!  Why? Because I am sure there are many people that barbeque all year round, including us.  That is right! As long as the weather is nice with no snow on the ground, we fire up our barbeque grill and start grilling!  Amen! You can say that again!  Anyway, I am deviating from the subject because I found this very interesting.

Do you know where your food comes from? I thought I knew. The other day, I bought a bottle of apple juice for a recipe I am going to make...thought it was a product of the USA since it has the Meijer's name on the label plus the price is better than the other brands. I guess consumers really look at price first, which I am guilty of.  But who wouldn't, with the sorry state of our economy? Besides, do we not always hear that we should try the store's brand first than the name brand items since it is cheaper, has the same taste, consistency, blah...blah...blah..

Anyway, guess what? When I looked at the label, I found out that it was " distributed by Meijer Distribution Center, Grand Rapids, Michigan."

I looked at the bottle closely, and lo and behold, "Product of China" was on top of the label, on the bottle itself.  It is so easy to miss. Why was it not on the label itself?  Did they do it on purpose so it could be missed very easily?

Why am I rambling about this? First of all, Meijer is in Michigan, originated in Michigan and the corporate headquarters is in Walker, Michigan in the Grand Rapids metropolitan area. Second, did you all know that Michigan ranks 3rd in the nation in apple production!  So, you would think that Michigan has enough to supply Meijer or any place in Michigan?  I do not know about imports and exports, but I just thought it would be nice for our stores to patronize first our local grown products, don't you all think so?  That is all folks, my 2 cents spill about what I bought which surprised me.  Why?  It should not have surprised you since one can rarely see any products made in the USA anymore, is it not?  I rest my case!

Have a safe, happy and blessed Labor Day!! May God bless all of us and let us all pray for world peace!!

BARCODE LABEL ON FOOD 02182013

When you are in the supermarket, do you ever wonder where the food you buy come from?  Yes???  Well,  I ususally look in the back and most of our food, it seems comes from China!  I was in the grocery store looking for fish last Friday, and all I can see is " product of China!"  Do we even have fish in the good old USA anymore?  What did I do?  I did not want to buy it but I cannot find any that is from America!  What is happening to our country????? 

I was at the mall today, all I can see from the tag of the clothes is " made in China!"  Don't we have any made from the USA??  Apparently not.  That is sooo sad....really, really sad.......No wonder our dear country is in such predicament.  There is nothing anymore made here!  Everything is made in China or another country!!  Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! What can we do??  If you do not want it, do not buy it!  But then what will you eat??  What will you wear???  This does not make sense. ( Sigh). Does anything make sense nowadays?  We also owe China trillions of dollars! That is sooo scary!  I just hope and pray that we will not be the United States of China in the future. 

Do you want to know the origin of the food we buy?  I came across an article that says the government does not list anymore in some cases the country where the food came from. It is coded on the barcode label.  So be sure to check the barcode labels on food!  It is the first 3 numbers on the barcode label that indicates the country of origin of the food.

690 - 692  China
  00 -   09  USA & Canada
  30 -   37  France
  40 -   44  Germany
         471  Taiwan
           49   Japan
           50   UK

That's all for now, folks...... have a safe and a blessed day!

May God bless America and the whole world!!!

POPE BENEDICT XV1 RESIGNS!!!!

Pope Benedict XV1 will resign on February 28, 2013!!!  I heard this news very early today and I was soooo shocked!! Everyone in the whole world was so shocked of this announcement.  Why???  The news said that he is sick and lacks the strength to do the job!  A job???  He is calling the head of the Catholic church a job!!  Wow!!  Was he not having fun being a successor of St. Peter?  Was he not happy to be called to fill the shoes of Pope Paul 11??  Excuse me, please do not criticize Pope Benedict.  I am sure he is already devastated with his decision.  Do not make it harder for him!

 How about the lightning that struck the Vatican right after he announced his resignation?? What do you think?  Is God giving him a hint to reconsider his decision??

I still want to know why?  I was wondering if someone or some people pressured him into resigning???  Well, we will never know.  But if he was, could he not fight??  After all, he is the pope and I am sure that God would have helped him fight, unless he is really a sick, weak man!  I just cannot help wonder that Pope Paul 11 was all bent, really sick and hurting but he did not resign.  Pope Paul stayed and managed his flock until the end of his weary body!  Excuse me, please do not compare Pope Benedict and Pope Paul 11!  They are two different individuals!  You are sooo right!!!  Oh, well.

Anyway, isn't there a saying, everything happens for a reason.  But this is different.  Why is that?  This is the head of the Catholic church!  The pope!  You think so??  I am not sure.  All I know is that how could our beloved pope dessert us in times like this??  What do you mean? Well, we are living in a tumultuous world and we need the pope!  He should not abandon us in such a messy, stinking world!  It is already done!  End! Kaput! Stop!  Sad, sad day for us Catholics!

Let us just hope and pray that there will be a new pope soon that will follow St Peter's footsteps to proclaim the glory of God. Let us just hope and pray that the Holy Spirit will guide the College of Cardinals to vote for the right person to guide all the faithful around the world.  Let us just hope and pray for peace in the whole world. Amen!

May God bless each and everyone of us!!!
