In
case we find ourselves starting to
Believe
All
the Anti - American sentiment & Negativity,
We
should remember England's Prime Minister
Tony
Blair's words during a recent interview.
When
asked by one of his Parliament
Members
Why he Believes so much
in
America, He Said:
A
simple way to take Measure of a
Country
is to Look How Many Want It...
And
How many want out."
Only
Two Defining Forces Have Ever
Offered
to Die For You :
1.
Jesus Christ
2.
The American G.I.
One
Died For Your soul & The other
For
Your
Freedom.
This
Web Page Is Dedicated To My
Wonderful
Pastor Who Has
Gone
To Be With Jesus
His

God Bless Sis Roberta

Dear Roberta, My Darling Wife
I have
a fond dream of you and me holding my Darling Wife.
You gaze into my eyes
and profess your Love.
When your lips meet mine, I
close my eyes, lost to the sweetness of you.
I have a fond dream of you
and me strolling carelessly through fields of LOVE,
laughter on our lips,
in our eyes. I offer my LOVE to you, and you Roberta accept,
sealing your Life with me.
I have a fond dream of you
and I Roberta, side by side as we stare at the sprinkling of stars and
savor our closeness.
You turn to me and Promise
that you'll always be mine, that we belong together like the stars and
the sky.
And with JESUS in our lives
we together shall give our LOVE to The World.
So be Strong My LOVE Jesus
Will Put Us Together Once
Again When He Comes Back Or
Calle's
You Home To Be By My
Side Baby!
Love,
Your Hubby John

Sis Roberta Bedzyk
With Much "LOVE"
If my people,
which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and
pray, and seek my face,
and turn from
their wicked ways; then
will I hear from
heaven, and
will forgive
their sin, and
will heal their
land.

This little girl's entire family
was executed.They intended to execute her also and shot her
in the head, but they failed
to kill her. She was cared for by john's hospital and
healing up, but has been crying
and moaning. The nurses said john is
the only one she seems to calm
down with, so john has spent
the last four nights holding
her while they both
sleep in that chair. The girl
is coming
along with her healin!
The U.S.A Is It In God's Hands
?
You Tell Me !
The
quote of the month by
Jay Leno:
-------------------------------------------------------------
" With
hurricanes, tornados, fires out
of
control, mud slides, flooding,
severe
thunderstorms
tearing
up the country from one
end
to another, and with the threat of
bird
flu and terrorist attacks, are
you
sure this is a good time
to
take GOD out of
the
Pledge of
Allegiance
?"
