JANUARY 22, 1973- JANUARY 22, 2009 --- INFAMY YEARS FOR UNBORN BABIES

Today marks the 36th Anniversary of the decision to legally kill unborn babies in the United States based on the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. Choosing DEATH over LIFE was the intent of this unethical decision. Being Pro-Choice was better than being Pro-Life among the proponents. Human Life is a continuum from natural conception to natural death.

"To help stop the anti-life push in the world the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen encouraged the SPIRITUAL ADOPTION of an UNBORN CHILD. This is done by praying that one particular but unknown child's life be spared elective abortion and be allowed to continue to live."

"To help accomplish this, it was recommended, an individual say the following daily prayer for a period of NINE MONTHS.

"JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH, THE HOLY FAMILY, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. I BEG YOU TO SPARE THE LIFE OF THE UNBORN BABY THAT I HAVE SPIRITUALLY ADOPTED WHO IS IN DANGER OF ABORTION."

"The name I wish to give my baby is:________________. During your earthly life this spiritually adopted child of yours will be known only to God but in the world to come it is hoped that you will meet the souls your prayers saved and spend eternal happiness with them."

"JESUS, MAY YOUR PEACE AND YOUR LOVE EMBRACE THE HEARTS, MINDS, AND SOULS OF THE FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND LOVED ONES WHO ENCOURAGE THIS ELECTIVE ABORTION AND LEAD THEM ALL TO YOUR SACRED AND EUCHARISTIC HEART." (Our Lady of Guadalupe, Intercessor of the Unborn)

Eternal Rest give to all of those unborn babies who have been sacrificed on the altar of elective abortions throughout the world and especially in the United States of America. May their souls and all of the souls of the faithfully departed through the mercy of God, REST IN PEACE..AMEN.
CHOOSE LIFE...THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN!

IDES OF JANUARY, 2009---UNBORN AMERICAN BABIES

For the past thirty-six years, approximately 4,000 unborn babies have been killed every day in the United States by elective abortions. More than 90 million unborn American babies and citizens with potential were denied their civil rights because of age, residency, dependency, gender, and racial discrimination. Even though considered "legal" by the United States Supreme Court in 1973 by a small margin, the human law ignores divine and natural law by mispresenting and misinterpreting the United States Constitution to meet the standards set by the secular, humanistic, and extreme agendas of desparate proponents of human life negativism. Remember, negativism begets negativism. Choosing life is positive!

We ask forgiveness from all of the 90 million plus unborn babies who have been killed by elective abortions since 1973. May their deaths be a reminder of how "fragile" human life is with extreme elitists and proponents of "choosing death" rather than seeking better human and humane options in resolving challenging human life issues. Human life is a continuum from natural conception to natural death. We ask mercy to the killers of unborn babies at any stage of development, and that these misguided persons may improve and change their negative attitudes toward human life to allow unborn babies with potential to climb up their Ladder of Achievement in meeting their self-actualization at 100 percent. Yes, We Can Do This; and We will do this: CHOOSING LIFE IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY AND EVERYONE'S ACCOUNTABILITY CHOICE!

If Americans are wondering why financial institutions, businesses, political activists, and social behaviorists are causing CHAOS and HAVOC to our free enterprise economic system and representative government, the answer may be in the number of voting citizens that have been eliminated since 1973. WE REAP WHAT WE SOW. We achieve what we choose to accomplish with our attitudes in reaching our altitudes with our aptitudes. In our American Republic, our combined human resources spells either SUCCESS OR FAILURE depending upon our decisions that have CAUSE AND EFFECT for future generations, achievements, and Achievement Ladder Progressions.

We Salute all of the American Unborn Babies who are enjoying ETERNAL LIFE with their Creator primarily because of the choices made by misinformed, ignorant, selfish, greedy, and civil secularists, who are the "Death Promoters" of our "Free" Country. God has already blest America. Now is the time for ALL TRUE AMERICANS to bless God. "HIS WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN." On January 22, 2009, remember the past, but also remember to CHANGE THE FUTURE BY CHOOSING HUMAN LIFE AT EVERY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT. The time has come for REAL CHANGE IN PROTECTING HUMAN LIFE AND IN GIVING ALL HUMAN LIFE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED IN THEIR LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENT PROGRESSION.

"O Lord Jesus Christ Who, before ascending into Heaven, did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish Your work in the souls of Your Apostles and Disciples would you please grant the same Holy Spirit to Barack Obama that He may perfect in his soul the work of Your grace and Your love. Grant President Obama the Spirit of Wisdom that he may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal, the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten his mind with the light of Your divine truth, the Spirit of Counsel that President Obama may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven, the Spirit of Fortitude that he may bear his cross with You and that he may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose his salvation, the Spirit of Knowledge that President Obama may know God and know himself and grow perfect in the science of the Saints, the Spirit of Piety that he may find the service of God sweet and amiable, the Spirit of Fear that he may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him.

In addition, may the following prayer encourage you to be open and to listen positively to the guidance of sound judgment as is contained in the "Prayer of Saint Francis."

"Lord, make President Barack Obama an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let him sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that President Obama may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive, and it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life." (Prayer of Saint Francis)

ACHIEVABLE DREAMS, VISIONS, AND MISSIONS

As children, young adults, and mature adults continue their climb up the Ladder of Achievement in 2009, there will be many obstacles and challenges that all will encounter along the way up and down their endurance temperature of yes, no, or maybe. Yes, we can be hot, cold, or lukewarm as we attempt to conquer the negativisms of our social culture and surroundings. Many individuals will attempt to lure good-intentioned persons from their dreams, their visions, and their focused missions by being destructive through their negative aspirations and self-centered agendas. To strive to beat off the destructive devices of drug addiction, alcohol addiction, gambling addiction, sexual addiction, and gluttonous addiction each person will need the will power to say "No" to the negatives and to realize that they can be either their best friend or their worst enemy in the Achievement Ladder process. To smear, to discredit, and to destroy a person's willingness to positively achieve steps in the right direction of human life is a tactic that has been used in many walks of life. Some are more blatant than others and some are more subtle than others. The end result is to give up rather get up and try again.

Ignorance is often another factor that individuals face when trying to be the best of who they are. Others are jealous, selfish, and unwilling to allow others the satisfaction of achieving in a world that often discourages positive success. In addition, apathy is a behavior that says, "I do not care about anything and neither should you." "That is the way life is...get on with it...be like me...a nobody." Well, welcome to the Nobodies Club. Status, prestige, wealth, race, creed, age, dependency, handicaps, gender, and religion should not be an obstacle in achieving the dreams, the visions, and the missions that you want to achieve during your lifetime. What is your size of the your fight in each crisis?

Often, many persons have the aptitudes and the focus on the altitude to reach but with little or no positive attitude to make things happen on their own initiative. Many persons have the aptitudes of a "thimble," but they are operating at 100 percent capacity and overflowing with positive responses to life's challenges. Many persons have the aptitudes of a "shot glass," but they accept their circumstances and they compete at the 100 percent level of accomplishment. Many persons have the aptitudes of a "8-ounce drinking glass," but their limited visions allow them a 50 percent response and use of their God-given talents. Many persons have the aptitudes of a "gallon jug," but their egos get in the way of even using these wonderful talents at the 25 percent level. Yes, there are many individuals who are truly talented, but they lack the enthusiasm, the drive, the ambition, and most importantly, the positive attitude to succeed at the 100 percent Achievement Ladder Level of Success.

Waiting for others to determine how you are to use your God-given talents is a waste of time and effort. Be your own coach and your best friend. Listen to positive enthusiasms that encourage you to maximize your God-given aptitudes with the force of making a difference in a world that is looking for your approach to solving the challenges that are affecting our 21st Century. You need not be elected to public office to accomplish this task on the individual basis. Your talents are part of the total puzzle, and each person's talents completes the puzzle no matter how large or how small that piece of the puzzle is. Without your piece of the puzzle, the world and your community will be unable to say that the problem is solved. Make your dreams, visions, and missions happen in the way Your Creator wills them for you to happen. YOUR UNIQUENESS IS EVERYONE'S PIECE OF THE PUZZLE TO SOLVE A WORLD IN CHAOS.

INNER PEACE FOR 2009 FOR ALL PEACE LOVERS

For many people who may be asked to answer the following question: "What does Peace mean to you.?," we all be surprised at the answers. Typically, some of the following answers may be offered: "Peace is the absence of war;" Peace is for geeks and softies; Peace is for the stronghearted and the brave; Peace is unachieveable because war is good business; Peace is a political way of balancing the budget; Peace is for those who live in a serene world devoid of any meaningful activity; and Peace is where no one wants to take a risk because of traditions." Whatever the reasonings regarding the essence of TRUE PEACE, most surveys and polls avoid the underlying reasons why people avoid living in Peace or seeking ways of striving for True Peace.

With all of the customs, traditions, practices, and lifestyles that are promoted worldwide, there are many persons who are afraid to live in Peace because they are unwilling to sit down and to communicate with others their differences as well as their COMMON THREADS. As human beings with a common Creator of this Universe, we owe ourselves the right to rediscover the reasons to achieve INNER PEACE at the 100 percent level of our LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENTS if we are humble enough to say, "We do not have all of the answers of why we are fighting and creating discord among our brothers and sisters who have a COMMON FATHER, GOD!

In 2009, we all can reexamine our motives, our agendas, our "inner wars," our prejudices, our biases, and our reasons for creating a WAR TYPE MENTALITY in our very neighborhoods. Are we afraid to find out that we have a COMMON THREAD and also a UNIQUE IDENTITY that makes us who we are rather than what we are? Are we skeptical of others because we want to hold them back from achieving their ultimate and maximum level in their ACHIEVEMENT LADDER JOURNEY up and down the LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENT? Encouraging others may seem out of the picture for us because we CHOOSE WAR as a way of MONOPOLIZING OUR AGENDA to the detriment of many talented individuals.

To achieve INNER PEACE, we need to meet PEACE ITSELF in the God-man, Jesus Christ, who is the PRINCE OF PEACE, THE LORD OF LORDS, THE KING OF KINGS, AND WHOSE KINGDOM WILL NEVER END. He came as a baby to our earth; he was humbled by our earthly ways; and he was killed by all of us who like to continue the "WARS" rather than search for HIS INNER PEACE IN US. Yet, He rose from the dead and offered His special assurance: "PEACE BE WITH YOU. AS THE FATHER HAS LOVED ME, SO I HAVE LOVED YOU. LIVE ON IN MY PEACE AND MY LOVE....THEY WILL KNOW THAT YOU BELONG TO ME BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER." If you are looking for CHANGE IN 2009, start with yourself and resolve the "war" that is holding you back from TRUE INNER PEACE.

Today, we remember in a very special way, the Most Humble, the Most Loving Mother of all time, Jesus' Mother, Mary. Her "Yes" to God brought about a new covenant that has been in existence for more than 2000 years. Her first Christmas with Jesus and Joseph, her spouse, was a very special event that is celebrated every year at Christmas as a remembrance of the birth of the PRINCE OF PEACE. Mary found out very soon that peace came with a price. In all man-made wars, there are no winners...only losers. "Let there be PEACE ON EARTH AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME."

Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ, is our greatest AMBASSADOR FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD. She intercedes for us with her son, Jesus, to achieve that peace which the world will never be able to give. Only a Mother understands what will bring about peaceful settlements and solutions and treaties that will last. Our Spiritual Mother, who is in Heaven for all eternity, understands conflict and misunderstanding that may be healed to bring about lasting peace, TRUE INNER PEACE. "LORD, MAKE US INSTRUMENTS OF YOUR PEACE. WHERE THERE IS HATRED, LET US SOW LOVE, WHERE THERE IS INJURY, PARDON. WHERE THERE IS DOUBT, FAITH. WHERE THERE IS DESPAIR, HOPE. WHERE THERE IS DARKNES, LIGHT. WHERE THERE IS SADNESS, JOY." (Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi)

SAY FAREWELL TO 2008...WELCOME IN 2009!

With all of the challenges that many persons endured and met head on in 2008, the New Year of 2009 will continue with significant new and improved challenges that will make our Country either United or Divided or both! With all of the misinformation that has travelled along the media networks, persons living in the twenty-first century in 2009 will need to reconsider their missions, their goals, their objectives, and their fundamental philosophies. To overcome the mistrusts, the absurdities, the distortions, and the mismanagements individuals will be encouraged to reexamine their philosophies of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To stand firm on your principles of life and your inherent beliefs and values, individuals will need to take a stand that will propel them to the scorn of many biased and prejudiced individuals who seek other novelty ways of life.

Making a firm commitment to your legacy of life will mean a blast from individuals who will SMEAR, DISCREDIT, AND DESTROY your points of view in order to promote their special agendas. We all have been reminded to STAND UP AND BE COUNTED for what you affirm as your unique philosophy of life and values. Your ethical foundations will often run the risk of losing even your closest friends and acquaintances. But that risk is worth the risk since you are your own person. The SILENT MAJORITY will again rise up to challenge the negatives that have permeated our news headlines and media coverage. The GRASSROOTS will again say: "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.!"

Now is the time for all good persons to come to! Apathy has no role for responsible citizenry. Challenge with critical thinking and documented information any affront to your covenant that you have made as part of your philosophy of education, your informed theology, and your spiritual achievement ladder. You have the right and the duty to be all that God has created you to be. IN GOD WE TRUST is our BATTLE CRY! WELCOME 2009 with a NEW YOU that will impact your sphere of influence and your environment. BE BOLD AND BE YOURSELF. RESPECT ALL HUMAN LIFE AS THE CONTINUUM FROM NATURAL CONCEPTION TO NATURAL DEATH. Any other human approach is contrary to divine law, which supersedes all human law. Secular, humanistic, civil religion, and purely human law will be challenged at every turn in 2009 by those who are committed to the TRUTH!

HAVE A HOLY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2009, WITH RENEWED ENERGIES TO EFFECTIVELY ENHANCE YOUR LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENT DEVELOPMENT!

ANYONE CAN BE CALLED FATHER, BUT YOU MUST BE SOMEONE SPECIAL TO BE CALLED "DADDY"

Today is a special day of remembrance in my life and in the lives of my brother and my sister. We share a special memory for a Man for all Seasons, for a Faithful Husband, for a Loving and Caring Father, and especially for a Just Man who we call "Daddy." Ten years ago, our loving Daddy was taken back home to His Loving Father, His Abba, His Daddy. We remember all of the times that our Daddy sacrificed for us to provide for our physical, for our social, for our educational, and for our spiritual needs and wants. His Wisdom will far exceed any person with a "sheepskin" from a exclusive or extraordinary educational environment. His "College of Hard Knocks" was a unique CLIMB UP THE LADDER OF ACHIEVEMENT that will be second to none of any of his competitors. He served his country in a special way in working in a shipyard that prepared and repaired vessels of combat. He learned by doing and by hands-on experiences to discover the who, the what, the where, the why, the when, the how, and the how much of every mystery and challenge.

He made time to give to each of his children during his free time and his own time. He always said "yes" to assisting the children with their homework and their educational challenges. He was a "Mister Fix It" by trade and a "Daddy of Inventions" when necessity and life sent him a curve ball. He loved sports of all types and encouraged his children to get involved whenever the opportunity was presented. Going to the local park with our Dad to play catch or to hit the ball was awesome and memorable. His love of music and dance coined him the expression of being an "Old Smoothie" when he danced with our mother. He loved the game of darts. "Knock them in baseball" was one of his favorite games. As a "Lefty" he was extremely competitive, but he sought the fun of the game rather than what money could bring in because of his talents. He was a great "Poker Player." He learned the art of finesse in all of life's challenges including playing cards of all descriptions. In addition, his love of playing checkers was the best. He was unbeatable when his mind was totally on the game.

Although my Dad never owned an automobile nor owned a home, he used public transportation in the city up until his natural death at 87. He was a wonderful provider for the family, and his commitment to his work environment was exemplary. His work ethic motto was: "If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well or not at all." Our Dad lived in the city, in the ghetto, in the environment where he felt at ease with his people. His greatest asset as a human being was that HE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. He loved life; and even in death, he continued his LOVING SENSE OF HUMOR. He loved the God who created him, and he loved the family that God gave him to air, care, share, and bear for even into eternity. He discovered even as an orphaned child that LOVE CONQUERS ALL and THERE IS NO END TO LOVE. For those who were fortunate to know him, he was the MAN FOR ALL SEASONS and a LOVING FAMILY MAN who knew what being a DADDY means. As the saying goes: "Anyone can be a Father, but it takes a special someone to be a DADDY."

THANK YOU, DADDY, FOR GIVING US LIFE AND LOVE. IT IS GREAT TO BE ALIVE AND TO REMEMBER ALL THAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED FOR YOUR FAMILY AND FOR THE MANY FAMILIES THAT YOU TOUCHED IN YOUR LIFE TIME. And as a special remembrance, Dad, as you enjoy eternal happiness with Mother and our Brother and all of your friends, "Here's to it and to it again. If you don't do it when you get to it, you will never get to it to do it again."
