Alone but not Alone

Common Ground Church

It was about the B-I-B-L-E, family and Moms. We sang and gave praise to Moms and Jesus.

All Moms got a carnation. I even got one as I said that I have been called a "mother" from time to time.  This small church has a lot of big messages from people who will inspire and who have turned their lives around. I am always impressed and in awe.

Alexander the Great on man's most Precious Treasure

The Gift of Time

The last wishes of Alexander the Great--
On his death bed, Alexander summoned his army generals and told them his three ultimate wishes:

• The best doctors should carry his coffin...

• The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery...

• His hands should be let loose, so they hang outside the coffin for all to see !!

One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to explain. Here is what Alexander the Great had to say:

1. "I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal..."

2. "I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, will stay on earth..."

3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is: TIME.

We do not take to our grave any material wealth. TIME is our most precious treasure because it is LIMITED. We can produce more wealth, but we cannot produce more time. When we give someone our time, we actually give a portion of our life that we will never take back . Our time is our life ! The best present that you can give to your family and friends is your TIME. May God grant you plenty of TIME, to share with all.

"Satan wins.  Handily."

~ Atheist/Satanist Chaz Stevens


Well, we found out last night--there was not one warrior on the dais who stood up for free speech and this city's history of having an invocation before the meeting. It didn't matter that the Congress of the United States and the Senate leads off every meeting with one.  Oh no, Lake Worth had to be "progressive." And this is why this country is in decline.

The item was pulled from the Consent Agenda for discussion by Christopher McVoy and placed at the end of New Business. I have to say that he tried to debate the subject sensibly. The mayor, who was out sick, called in to join the discussion. She gave her reasons for walking out on atheist Preston Smith because of his remarks found on-line about rape. It was all just another excuse to drive in the nail on the invocation coffin.

Commissioner Amoroso was basically silent on the subject saying at one point that he was just about an atheist himself.  For a moment I saw a glimmer of hope of keeping our invocations as they have been since this city was founded, when Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell asked, "Why are we changing things? I will not roll over for that."

Maxwell's statement was short-lived and full of hot air. Maier saying it would be a "progressive" decision to follow the rotation process where each member on the dais could say his own invocation, have a moment of silent prayer or invite someone of their choosing to give an inspirational message still following the Supreme Court decision that was mentioned by the city attorney--

the commission voted...invocations as we have known them have ended.

This is NOT progressive.  This is just another anti-Christian moment and it happened in our city--influenced by socialists and atheists.  Hell, they even went after the Common Ground Church earlier in the year.

Our city stomped on our Constitution--they threw away Free Speech--they went against 71% of the country who are Christian even though invocations were non-denominational and only inspirational --they joined ISIS in their own narrow-minded way. The vote was 4/1 with McVoy dissenting.

Satan won last night and it's a crying shame.

When you think you've got troubles, just play this video for some inspiration. It will help put things into perspective.

A Christmas Message

This year, it just dawned on me that I have been more consumed with Christmas than in any other year especially over the past several days.  I believe I can attribute this more intense interest to Preston Smith the atheist and his side-kick Chaz Stevens the Satanist.  People have a way of inspiring you whether you know it or not--inspire to a deeper level of meaning exerted directly on your mind or soul.  And for me, Smith's atheist speech brought out those feelings even more. I also believe that you had to be a witness to his non-belief to know how wrong he is and in that revelation, it helped solidify my own beliefs that I had not really dwelled upon but simply took for granted. But no matter what the inspiration, this is a video that IS the spirit of Christmas.

Alone but not Alone

After having his nomination rescinded by the Academy to be included in an Oscar nomination, Bruce Broughton said he was DEVASTATED. "I indulged in the simplest grassroots campaign and it went against me when the song started getting attention. I got taken down by competition that had months of promotion and advertising behind them. I simply asked people to find the song and consider it.”

Michelle Obama's bad hair day did not deter from an inspirational speech in Belfast. Will someone send our First Lady a hair clip?

The inscription inside reads:

The card is signed by Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Malia Obama, Sasha Obama, and, of course, Bo (with a paw print).

Quote from the Past - David Allan Highet - Think Big

Think Big!

~David Allan Highet, former National Cabinet Minister, New Zealand

This was a phrase for an economic strategy sponsored by the Prime Minister of New Zealand Robert Muldoon (1975-1984) and his New Zealand National Party government in the early 1980s.

No, Greg Rice didn't coin this phrase but look what he has achieved by believing it.

I'm not talking about the big stumbles and the poor decisions of the past that have cost us big-time. I am not talking about big political egos that have us momentarily dysfunctional. I am using the expression now as a reminder to all those who are focused on the immediate rather than the long-term. In order to achieve great things, you have to think and dream big. You have to believe.

We did that in Lake Worth when we built our own Reverse Osmosis plant, and we can continue to do that. We did it when we finally decided to re-build our Casino. Planning & Zoning continues to believe it as it designs our City, keeping its small town feel and uniqueness. We are on our way and in a few more years you will see the difference from the plans that have been formulated, implemented and are being achieved to make our city sustainable, desirable and a city that will attract more and more tourism, businesses and homeowners.

We have invested in our future. We've got it. We're on our way. We're thinking big.
