Our American Freedom: From New Jersey, I Cannot Believe It
Love Worth Finding Ministries with Adrian Rogers: Daily Treasures
What Is A Quiet Time?
August 21, 2009Do you know what quiet time is? It is fellowship with a holy God. The reason that some people do not have a quiet time is that they feel uncomfortable. They don’t want to look God in the face because there is unconfessed, unrepented sin in their life.
What did Adam do after he sinned and God came walking in the Garden? Adam fled. Before that, Adam had quiet time alone with God, didn’t he? They conversed, they communed. It was paradise. But when Adam sinned, he did not want to look God in the face.
When Moses went into God’s presence, God said, “Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover He said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.” God cannot be in the presence of sin because He is holy.
If you find a reluctancy to go into the presence of God, there may be unconfessed, unrepented sin in your life. Part of your quiet time is to get your heart clean and pure. Each of us needs to take ourselves by the nap of our necks and confess and repent before we come into God’s holy presence to fellowship. Psalm 66 verse 18 says, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.”

Thursday Stitch n’ Bitch: I’M TIRED OF BUSH IN MY FACE by Bellamags � Autographed Letter Signed
n federal budgetary affairs has summarized:
- President Bush expanded the federal budget by a historic $700 billion through 2008. President Obama would add another ONE TRILLION.
- President Bush began a string of expensive financial bailouts. President Obama is accelerating that course.
- President Bush created a Medicare drug entitlement that will cost an estimated $800 billion in its first decade. President Obama has proposed a $634 BILLION down payment on a new government health care fund.
- President Bush increased federal education spending 58 percent faster than inflation. President Obama would DOUBLE it.
- President Bush became the first president to spend 3 percent of GDP on federal anti-poverty programs. President Obama has already increased the spending by 20 PERCENT.
- President Bush tilted the income tax burden more toward upper-income taxpayers. President Obama would continue that trend.
- President Bush presided over a $2.5 trillion increase in the public debt through 2008. Setting aside 2009 (for which Presidents Bush and Obama share responsibility for an additional $2.6 trillion in public debt), President Obama’s budget would add $4.9 trillion in public debt from the beginning of 2010 through 2016.
- President Bush’s tax policy was his only conservative policy and saved the taxpayers 2 trillion dollars.

Quote of the Day
The biggest problem we face today is the abject apathy of people that don't even know they are "We the People" -- Ted Nugent
I heard this statement today in an interview Glenn Beck and even though the Nuge said it as a throw away line in the course of conversation, I believe that it truly encapsulates what is wrong with our country today.
Our Forefathers founded this nation on a truly revolutionary idea; that the PEOPLE were to be the power in charge of our society. That idea has served us in good stead for over two hundred years, but things seem to be falling apart in the last twenty years or so, and Mr. Nugents statement explains it all.
A country founded on the idea that power flows from the governed to the governors can only succeed and flourish if the PEOPLE remain engaged and actively participate in that governance.
Somewhere down the line "We the People" seem to have been infected with the intellectually lazy idea that we can "let the government take of of it" and still remain a free society.
That attitude inevitably leads to tyranny, and at this juncture we have progressed at least (a) quarter half of the way to that foul state.
It is somewhat discouraging to realize that someone who describes himself as "just a guitar player" is one of the most astute voices for freedom in evidence today.
This country needs to awaken from its state of somnambulism , and SOON, or we will wake up in the near future to find we have put ourselves in the bonds of servitude to the State just because we were too damned lazy to do the work and maintain the vigilism necessary to maintain our individual freedom.
Company on Decision to Pull Ads from Beck TV Show: 'We Do Not Want to be Associated with Hateful Speech' | NewsBusters.org
I have regularly watched the Glenn Beck Show since its debut on Fox, and for years prior to that on CNN. Apart from a rare comment made by a guest, I have never witnessed anything remotely approaching hate-speech, unless quoting our country's founding fathers somehow qualifies as hate-speech in these Orwellian times.
Because this country still protects free speech, for now, Sargento has every right to choose where and when to advertise. Likewise, as a buyer of 2-3 pounds of packaged cheese per week, I'm free to choose from several brands.
Until such time as Sargento rescinds its misguided cancellation of advertising on Beck's program, I won't be purchasing any of your products.
Remember, honest, hardworking Americans who believe in free speech, even that which we don't agree with, far outnumber the union operatives. Offend us at the peril of your bottom line."

Bob Keyser
Today, I received the following response:
'Dear Mr. Keyser,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
Some media reports have created the incorrect impression that Progressive pulled the advertising in response to specific comments made on a show, but that is not the case. We did not buy advertising for the Glenn Beck Program, so when we learned that our ad had aired during the show, we corrected the error. I hope this clarifies the situation.
Sincerely,
Mary O., Progressive Internet Representative'"

Barbara Gannon, your VP of Communications has stated (re: Sargento's decision not to advertise during the Glenn Beck Show on FoxNews) that 'we do not want to be associated with hateful speech used by either liberal or conservative television hosts.' I doubt that anyone at Sargento responsible for this policy has ever listened to the Glenn Beck Show. If you had, you would understand that Mr. Beck engages in hyperbole not hate speech. Because I choose not to buy products from companies that boycott Constitutionally-protected speech, I will no longer buy Sargento cheese products."
Company on Decision to Pull Ads from Beck TV Show: 'We Do Not Want to be Associated with Hateful Speech' | NewsBusters.org
I am extremely disappointed to learn that your company has elected to pull it's advertising from The Glenn Beck Program. Frankly, I am not interested in supporting interests who contribute to the rising crescendo of strong-armed tactics that are being used to silence those of a certain political point of view. If you believe that Beck's opinion is 'hateful' then I believe that no one at your company has bothered to watch or listen to his programs. If you have, then you believe that the exercise of our freedoms to criticize our government is 'hateful' and thus I too am hateful And you've just lost a family of customers who formerly enjoyed your products. Because, unless you rescind this decision, we will NEVER purchase any of your products again.
By the way, please save us both some time and effort in not replying to me with some useless, politically correct, form letter. Reply to my comment directly or don't bother.
Sincerely,
Stogie Guy"
