In times of need I am looking for prayer help, from other christians.
I was layed off for over 3 months this spring time. Which has put us way behing in bills.
I am fortunate to be back to work now, even if it does pay $2 hour less. This is helping us get back on track. We also picked up a pretty good wholesale account, which in the long run is going to help us more.
What we need prayer for is that all the bills we were are behind. We need something to happen to catch up with these bills, and get rid of them.
Thank you very much, and God bless.

Re:Black Men in America's Jails and Prisons
Too many young black men continue to waste their precious lives in a state of neo bondage. As a correctional educator for the past several years, I can tell you that the prisons and jails in this great country are overflowing with young African-Americans (You already know). All of my students are young black men - one exception. As a teacher, it saddens me to see the talent that is wasted on a daily basis.
We all need to start doing more to address this escalating dilemma. The youth of this country don't need to rot in jail, while we (Americans) ignore the problem. Something is causing this horrible trend to continue. You may ask yourself ”What can I do?”. There is no easy answer, but you need to do something. A few suggestions would be:
organize sports functions (basketball leagues, football leagues, etc.)
talk to kids at school
write books
contact government officials
do volunteer work
tutor kids
take kids fishing, camping, etc.
The point here is to start doing something. If we simply ignore the problem, where do you think we will be in 10 years pertaining to this issue?
For my part, I have written a book aimed at helping young black men who are already incarcerated.
The book is called:
Black Choices, A young black man's guide to prison survival
ISBN: 1-60813-727-9, 83 pages, 6 x 9,
The book can be ordered through
PublishAmerica.com or by calling 301/695-1707
This book can make a real difference to the young man who is incarcerated. It can help him to negotiate prison life more successfully and also start planning for what life brings after prison is over. If you have a loved one or friend in jail, consider sending him this most important book. I believe it will help his life to start getting back on the road to a more successful future. Any help getting the word out about this book will be greatly appreciated. I truly care about my students and the overall plight of too many young black men in America's correctional centers.
Thanks,
Charles Wakefield

Hello I just wanted to share with fellow Christians that I found a really good Pastor on an Internet radio station called SWAGG city radio. He preaches from 3-3:30 pacific time and he is one of the best I've heard in a long time. I think I enjoy listening to him because he is good at relating the bible to my everyday life. It feels like he is speaking to me not talking at me. Just thout I'd share.
LETTER TO IRAQI PATRIOTS
By Rick Mathes
author of "Allah or Jesus"

Dear Cousins,
Please accept the god we trust in and you too will share in these advantages of our culture:
1.Eliminating God from government and replacing Him with any god you may choose will conform to our “In any gods we trust” motto.
2. M.D.’s (murdering doctors) will kill your unwanted babies as they struggle to wiggle their way into the arms of parents that don’t want them.
3. The aged, disabled and unproductive will be given the option of a dignified death by the same M.D.’s that have said an oath of preserving life.
4. Homosexuals and perverts (sexual predators) will be able to marry and adopt children that will propagate the their abnormal lifestyles. Whatever happened to common sense?
5. Weekend marriages (married on Fri and divorced on Mon) will become the new rage.
6. Legalizing prostitution will eliminate the curse of immorality and adultery.
7. The underprivileged minorities will gamble their last dinar and the ruling class will pay fewer taxes because of their squandering of money and addiction to chance.
8. We will install our “dumbing-down” Department of Education so that the elite will continue to have control and authority over lower class repressed students.
9. Pornography will be very available in every form on the pretence that this will prevent “acting out” acts of sexual offences.
10. Our capitalistic corporate leaders will teach you how to rip off millions from fellow citizens and only have small and insignificant penalties to pay without complete restitution.
11. We will export our profitable prison industry as we have become the number one nation in the world expanding industry profits from incarcerating the most number of prisoners.
12. And we will show you how you too can merchandise “Kentucky Fried Christianity” as we have so that you too will never have to be accountable to God for the 10 Commandments our country was founded on.
Judge Roy Moore told me that the question our country needs to resolve is,
“Can the State acknowledge God?”
Upon that answer, our future as a nation “under God” rests.
We the ungodly people of Amerika do strongly encourage you to accept our superior culture or we will blow your country to dust, except the oil fields of course!
Signed:
The Godless people of Amerika

PS My natural father was blown to bits in WWII defending the Judeo-Christian values of America that have been trampled on. Now, all I have left is a purple heart and the flag that draped his casket. And all America has is a country without God. This article is written in memory of my Dad.
