Community Organizers Pray to President Obama
The Gamaliel National Clergy Caucus held "a New Orleans style funeral procession as they deliver a casket symbolizing the death of old ways of providing health care and pray for a new day for health care in America."
Can one Girl Change the World?
Yet throughout history there have been young women, like Joan of Arc, who are remembered for extraordinary personal accomplishments.
Just a few months ago Melanie Oudin, a 17-year-old tennis player, burst on the scene by producing a solid showing at both the U.S. Tennis Open and Wimbledon. Or what about Taylor Swift, who after going platinum with her first album at age 16, is now so popular that tickets for her concert at New York's Madison Square Garden sold out in one minute.
Both of them discovered their passion at a young age and have devoted themselves to achieving their goals. Swift began knocking on doors of record label offices on Nashville's Music Row at age 11, and Oudin gave up a normal high school experience for home schooling to fit in around a rigorous training schedule.
And then there's Michala Riggle, and Tori Cannon.
Haven't heard of them? They are teenage girls who have found their passion and taken the lead to change their world.
Authors Claudia Mitchell and Kim Goad introduce them to us through the ministry of One Girl Can Change the World, a new book and ministry with teenage girls that helps a young woman to find her passion then develop her leadership skills to accomplish what God has uniquely created her to do.
"We believe it is an honor to be about the work of inspiring the next generation of leaders, and we truly believe one girl can change the world," they write. "One Girl Can Change the World is all about showing girls how. It's about bringing young women to the understanding that they are leaders. It's about reminding them that they have a specific role to play in impacting the world, inspiring them to discover their passions and leadership styles, and empowering them to effectively carry out their purposes."
Tori Cannon is a teen whose heart breaks for the needs of others. She has been raising funds for the needy around the world since she was a child, including taking on the task of providing shoes for those in developing countries. In one project, she filled an entire garage full of usable shoes and sent them with short term missionary workers who could deliver them to those who needed them.
Michala Riggle is inspired to raise funds for autism research, specifically to build a research facility in Louisville. Sound a bit lofty? By mid 2009, this 12-year-old from Louisville had raised more than $300,000 by selling bracelets through her charity called Beading to Beat Autism (www.beadingtobeatautism.org). In addition to a fistful of awards she's already garnered, she's been interviewed on television shows that include Good Morning America and the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and was featured in American Girl magazine.
"Teenage girls combine the energy and passion of youth with hearts mature enough to see needs in their communities and the world," said Kim Goad. "Yet they lack the maturity and skills to put it all together to see how they can indeed make a difference."
In their new book, One Girl Can Change the World (Standard Publishing), Mitchell and Goad help girls first discover how unique and precious they are to God, then to think through their own interests to find their passion. They further encourage girls to write a mission statement, look for a mentor, and develop an action plan for what they want to achieve.
They also then challenge these young women to live and grow as Christian women and leaders. They provide inspiring examples of young women who have changed the world, introducing world changers from the Bible, from history and from down the street.

Artist Sting and many others Say President Obama is Sent by God
Sting is just one of many linking Obama to the supernatural.
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan also was clear in a nearly religious adoration of Obama. Farrakhan declared last year that when Obama talks, "the Messiah is absolutely speaking."
Addressing a large crowd behind a podium with a Nation of Islam Saviours' Day 2008 sign, Farrakhan proclaimed, "You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything about. That's a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking."

Uproar at Penn State over "Cross Like" T-Shirt

A blue, cross-like design emblazoned on T-shirts at Penn State University has some critics seeing red.
The shirts — intended to foster school spirit — sport a vertical blue line down the center with the words "Penn State White
Penn State says it has received six complaints about the shirt, including one from the Anti-Defamation League's Philadelphia branch, from people who say it connotes a Christian cross. The logo design also has become the focus of controversy in the student newspaper, "The Daily
Bill Mahon, vice president for university relations, said six people have contacted Penn State to voice their objections to the shirt's design. "Six complaints is not a controversy," Mahon wrote Foxnews.com. "Students submit shirt designs to the student paper each year. Students then vote for their favorite design and they are sold in the campus bookstore." Mahon said the design was based on the single blue stripe on the football team's helmets and will not be pulled from store shelves as some have asked. "The shirts have sold out and no changes are planned," he said. Stephanie Bennis, a senior at the school, said she created the shirt's design in March with fellow public relations major Emily Sabolsky, and in no way did they intend to create religious overtones. Like Mahon, she said the single blue stripe is a nod to the university's football program. "That was the entire idea," she said. "And all we thought was normally wording goes right across the chest. That's truly the reason why we did it."
Man fired from Home Depot for Wearing Pin that said "One Nation Under God, Indivisible"
"I want to go to school to become a nurse," said the 20-year-old Okeechobee resident.
Keezer says for 19 months, ever since he started working as a cashier at The Home Depot in Okeechobee, he's worn a button with an American flag on it that reads: "One nation under God, indivisible."
Keezer sees the quotation, taken from the pledge of allegiance, as his way of supporting American troops at war, and of expressing his Christian faith.
In December, his older brother Army Spc. Steven Keezer Jr., is scheduled to deploy to Iraq for his second tour of duty.
For more than a year, Keezer says none of his managers mentioned the button on his Home Depot apron, except one supervisor who commented she liked it.
"She actually wanted to wear it," Keezer said.
Fishel says Home Depot has a "proud history" of supporting the military, and that it sanctions several of its own buttons for employees to wear, including one that reads: "United We Stand."
Keezer said he preferred to wear his button because "you can't have country without God. Every pin they showed me had no 'God' on it or anything."
Fishel says the company gives employees several warnings when they violate the dress policy before terminating them.
But Keezer says, "It never crossed my mind to take off the button because I'm standing for something that's bigger than I am. They kept telling me the severity of what you're doing and I just let God be in control and went with His plan."
JMC Ministries Thoughts
America What Have We become when people are now losing their jobs for wearing a patriotic pen that shares part of America's Pledge of Allegiance on it? And for this young man to lose his job at such a time when the the economy is so bad and jobs are so few and far between. How is he going to get the money that he was using to pay for his college education now that he has no job?
Please pray for this young man that he finds a new job quickly and can make ends meet so he can continue on with his education, and also that those who fired him will be saved and God just get ahold of their hearts and see the error of their ways. Please Pray.

Christian Couple in Liverpool England Arrested for offending Muslim woman
Will Pedophile's have coverage under NEW Protection/Hate Crimes Act ???
In many countries there are versions of these "hate crime" bills. Such actions have enhanced the attack against freedom of speech in the Christian sectors. Here in America, the decline of moral values is continuing at an accelerated rate like none before. Our diligent efforts will not be in vain. Jesus reminds us of times like these where we will be persecuted for our beliefs.
Matthew 5:10
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. No one that truly claims to be a Christian will be safe from persecution either.
2 Timothy 3:12
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,We must take a stand and keep the faith in action. The call to all is to imitate Christ.
Hebrews 13:7
Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.Keep in prayer those that are persecuted around the world. This life on earth is not over yet. We still have faith in Christ that He will take care of us and lead us in the right direction.

A "hate crimes" plan that opponents have warned will be used to crack down on Christian speech, even the reading of the Bible, is poised to be signed by President Obama, a longtime proponent of the plan to give homosexuals and those with other alternative lifestyles special protections not provided other classes of citizens.
The Senate approved the "hate crimes" plan 68-29 today after Democrats strategically attached it to a "must-pass" $680 billion defense appropriations plan.
Most Republicans, although normally strong supporters of the U.S. military, opposed the plan.
"The inclusion of the controversial language of the hate crimes legislation, which is unrelated to our national defense, is deeply troubling," Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., told Fox News after the vote.
The plan also hands out federal money to states and local governments in pursuit of "preventing" hate crimes.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said the move is a step toward thought crimes and suggested the bill will be a warning against those to speak out about their religious faith.
Obama was strongly supported during his 2008 presidential campaign by homosexual advocates, and has expressed a willingness to act on the proposal, calling it an "important civil rights issue."
WND reported days ago when several organizations urged their members to contact members of Congress to oppose the plan.
The plan – which creates federal protections and privileges for homosexuals and other alternative lifestyles but denies those protections to other groups of citizens – earlier was approved in the U.S. House
