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!!!
