President Barack Obama proclaimed May 5, 2011 as the National Day of Prayer for this year. He proclaimed this day on April 29, two weeks after the 7th Circuit Court Of Appeals finally ruled in favor of National Day of Prayer! Hip! Hip! Hooray!!!
This is the day for all Americans to come together - to pray in unison for our beloved nation. This proclamation follows the tradition that goes back to a very long time ago when the Continental Congress called for a day of " public humiliation, fasting and prayer," to be observed on July 20,1775. See my previous blog on Tuesday, 04/27/2010 National Day Of Prayer.
Prayer has played an important part in the United States and in shaping our nation's leaders. We should all be thankful to God for the many blessings and freedom that we are enjoying. So, how about it? Let us all join one another on May 5th and pray for our beloved America! Let us all forget our differences on this day and go hand in hand praying!!! Wouldn't that be really great and pleasing to God? Perhaps if we do this, God will have mercy and spare us all from further disasters and calamities!
May God bless us all!!!!

Doom & Gloom Predictions
Many predictions have surfaced at the end of 2010...continuing to 2011. Are these true or just rumors? Does not really know...but hope they are only rumors!
America has more debts than anyone in the whole world! US government can just print money when they want since it owns the world's reserve currency! What will happen when the US loses the reserve currency status?? All of the prices for everything will soar! Heaven forbids! There are already a few countries that are no longer using the dollar for trading, instead they are using their own currencies! A group of us were discussing this and everyone thought that the Americans are wise and savvy with regards to money, so this will not happen! Any comments concerning this?
There is a prediction that the housing market will continue to fall! How much lower can it fall? Is it like the limbo stick that cannot fall any lower, otherwise no one can go through! Ay..ya..yay! Here she goes with her limbo rock! Heaven forbids that this happens...no one can afford it to fall much lower!
How about the stock market? It is also a gloomy prediction. A gloomy prediction too for the unemployment, homelessness and economy! Is it true that the US has the second highest corporate tax in the world? The higher tax is because of the government regulations., and not because of labor! What can be done about this? That is for the economists and experts to figure out! Is it true that more than 10 % of the US population is now on food stamps? That is over 40 million people! Yikes! That is really sad....very sad!
What can we as citizens do? Pray...pray...pray....Prayers really help! Miracles do exist! Rumor or not, it will not be bad to pray for our country to overcome all its problems and turn around to make this nation a great place to live once again with freedom and justice to all!
Have a great day! may God bless us all!

New Year, 2011
Happy New Year to all!!! The year 2011 is now here!! Any different about it? Not really...seems liked just another day that came! I completely disagree with you! It came amidst fanfare, revelry and preparation by many people from all over the world!! You mean you did not prepare for it? Well, just a little...cooked some food to eat for midnight when the clock struck 12 to herald the New Year!! See...everybody was eager for 2010 to end!
Why was everyone ready for 2011? It is a new day... a new year full of hope for many, many people! When 2011 ushered in, people are praying that 2011 will be a better year....with regards to unemployment, housing, health care and economy! How? It cannot be done just overnight...it takes time! Well, maybe if the government work together regardless of their party affiliation, then, maybe, all the problems that this country has will be resolved!
Let us take a look at the economy. People were willing to help the economy! Look at the number of people that spent money during Christmas! It sure was very impressive indeed! But how about unemployment? That is still something to be desired! Unemployment is still high! Jobs are still being outsourced because of the cheap labor in other countries! Then how are the unemployed going to get jobs? I do not know...we need a miracle to have jobs for the unemployed! How about housing? I heard that there were many people that applied for a mortgage last month! If you have money, this is the best time to buy a house because there are a lot of houses that are sold with bargain prices!
Since 2011 is the year before the presidential election, then 2011 should be a booming year for everyone! After all, the politicians would be wooing the public so they can get their names in the positive side of the people! Am I right or what? But what will that do? The government cannot spend more money since they already have billions of debts! Print more money? Which comes to my mind...why is it that the government can just print money? If an individual did that, they will be arrested? Ha! Ha! Ha! You are nincompoop! Those are two different things! Besides the US dollar is the world money reserve, that is why they can print money anytime they want! Is that right?? Comments, anyone??
The US dollar though is going down in value, that is the reason why other countries are now trying to use their money for trading! If the value of the dollar is down, wouldn't that be good? Why? People would come To the United States to buy products since their money will be worth more! There will also be more tourists coming, is it not? That is sooo true! That is good and dandy for the outsiders, but how about the locals? Food prices are soo outrageous..will people be able to afford to buy groceries??? There ned to be something done so people would be able to afford the necessities in life!
How about gas? That is another story! Gasoline prices are on average $3.09/ gallon! That is outrageous! I think this will prevent many people to travel! Well, it is not only the gas prices that is preventing people to travel. What do you mean? How about the groping and scanning of TSA's in the airports??? People's comcerns have died down....they just do not travel! Why? Has there been a decline of air travelers? I do not know but I think people should not travel by air so the TSA will change their groping and scanning of passengers! Comments, please!!
Well, well, well, there was quite a long list of issues from 2010, is it not? Do you think it will be resolved for the better for 2011?? We all should just keep praying to God to bless and turn everything ugly in America to a beautiful and compassionate place to live! Let us all be a bunch of optimists for a better America!!!
God bless America and all of us!!!

New Year's Eve
Today is the last day of 2010. At 12 midnight, we are going to ring in the New Year..2011! What is in store for us all? Hopefully just good things! Here's hoping that if 2010 was a crappy year, that 2011 will be a better year; if 2010 was a good year, 2011 will be better!
We should all be thankful for all the blessings that God has given to us, and continues to shower us. Hopefully, 2011 will be a miracle year for everyone....economy will be better, those who were unemployed will find something, the homeless will get help and will cease to be on the streets, the housing problem will be better - no more foreclosure, the health system will be better for everyone. Too good to be true? Perhaps. But do you believe in miracles? Miracles do happen, and if there are more people that will pray, maybe God will give His mercy and make it better!
Whether your plans are to have a party, go to a party, drink champagne, sleep, eat or watch the ball fall to ring in the New Year in Times Square, we should not forget to say a littlle prayer for the whole world that there will be peace.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!! May God bless all of us!!!!

2010 Memories
Three more days before 2010 comes to a close! Soon all memories of 2010 will be gone, replaced by 2011. Did you capture all the things that have happened in 2010 with your camera, cell phone, or was it sketched vividly on your mind that nothing can erase?
Was it a new baby, a new house, a new job, a new cat or was it a sorry 2010 that was full of struggles financially and emotionally? Perhaps, it was a vacation of a lifetime to some exotic place, a long drive, or a short drive just to be away from all the stress of daily life??? What ever it is, we are just hoping and praying that 2011 will be a much better year for all of us! Notice that I used "much better." That's just it! I hope that everyone will get a a much better 2011 that 2010!
Hopefully, the economy will really turn around...the problems with unemployment, housing, and homelessness will come to an end. Hopefully, the government will work together for a common goal... to govern the US citizens better with no regard to any selfish agenda! After all, The United States government was for the people, for the people, and by the people! Amen, I say to that! That the government will give more dignity and compensation to the senior citizens! After all the people owe it to the seniors who painstakingly worked sooo hard over the years and cared for the emerging citizens of our dear country! They were the pillars of the society at one point and time, don't anybody forget it! Lastly, I hope and pray that the health care dilemma will be solved.... that it will be a better health care for everyone..both the patients and the doctor without any ulterior motives from the government, i.e. end of life for seniors, abortion, etc....
Wouldn't that be also nice if there was a true peace on earth?? Now! Now! You are asking for a miracle! Nations will go against nations to be the world power! Well, do you believe in miracles?? Miracles do happen, isn't it?? They sure do! I rest my case!!
Have a good day, everyone!! May God bless us all!!!
