Today is the last day of the Spiritual Liturgical Year for all Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts who are members of the Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts' International Association (A.L.E.I.A.). Today is an opportunity to look back over the past year to discover what spiritual progress has been made and what spiritual plans need to be adopted to transform their future actions to a positive spiritual growth and development. Since all members of the A.L.E.I.A. are committed to maximizing their climb up and down the Ladder of Achievement, emphasis needs to be focused on being IN the world but not OF the world. To be caught in the dragnet of the world, the flesh, and the devil keeps A.L.E.I.A. members from soaring like "eagles rather than being confined as "turkeys" in the muck of the transitory and of the secular distractions and anxieties.
To bring PEACE, JOY, AND LOVE to a world that resents any mention of the Uncaused Cause of this Universe is the greatest challenge for A.L.E.I.A. members. To bring HOPE to an environment of distrust and discouragement means that A.L.E.I.A. members must WALK THEIR TALK by their daily living and challenges. Anyone can GIVE UP, but the focus is to GET UP and continue on the road to the Heavenly rewards offered for those who choose HIS WAY, HIS TRUTH, and HIS LIFE. To be LIVING MEMBERS OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF JESUS CHRIST means to offer time, talents, and treasures for the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven. This can be accomplished when the new members of C.F.R. (Courage, Faith, Renewal) are aligned with A.L.E.I.A. members. The Courage is live the uniqueness that their Creator has given to each A.L.E.I.A. member strengthens the resolve to accept all challenges as gifts from God to grow. The Faith that requires a Living Faith to understand that the Providence of God is involved in every dimension of human living until death and then on to eternity. The Renewal sparks the conversion and the transformation required to become the NEW PERSON, the NEW CREATION as intended by Divine Providence if our wills are in tune with the Holy Trinity in our everyday lives. To respect that human life is a continuum from conception to natural death is the beginning of TRUE WISDOM endowed by our Creator for those who really Love Him...Our Emmanuel...God with us. When the New Spiritual Year starts tomorrow, let all A.L.E.I.A. members commit to following the Divine Plan for all Creation rather than the secular, elitist, humanistic fallacies that destroy the mind, the heart, the body, and the spirit of all Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts who strive to attain the maximum potential in their human lives. O Come, O Come Emmanuel and ransom captive A.L.E.I.A. members from hopeless promises of the world.

ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS SPIRITUALLY ADOPT UNBORN BABIES
Since 1973, the United States of America through the Supreme Court has legalized elective abortions until the cord is cut to avoid infantcide. The premise of the entire case was based on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States indicating that women have privacy in all concerns regarding reproductive rights. Although the timing was right for the "feminist movement" in America, the end apparently justifies the means to achieve the interpretation. For almost 37 years, the issue of Pro Life versus Pro Death has entered every aspect of discussion in the political arena with the "Pro-Choice for Death" getting the most support from a variety of well-funded resources. However, with the advent of medical science in the area of sonography, a woman now can see that an independent human life begins when the sperm meets the egg (otherwise known as fertilization/and or conception). Visually identifying an innocent human life (often called an embryo and eventually a fetus), the growing and developing human being with potential to full development and maturation with the genes of the Father and the Mother. To ignore the existence of human life before birth is an afront and an ignorance to medical science and the basics of Anatomy and Physiology I plus Human Genetics.
This "civil rights" cause may take years to eventually resolve because of the "irreconcilible differences" involving the sacredness and the human life continuum from conception to natural death. Even the "death peddlers" are working on the other end of the sprectrum regarding the elderly, the disabled, the dependent, the dying, the homeless, the unproductive, and the "drains on society." Euthanasia is considered a viable method to "terminate" human life with dignity from a secular humanistic religious point of view. History has taught us many lessons during the 20th century regarding the extreme attitudes of persons who have a negative attitude against anyone who gets in their way of achieving dictatorships, socialistic agendas, and total domination.
With more than 50 million innocent unborn babies killed since 1973, the time will eventually come to this Nation that enjoys considerable personal freedom in many aspects to suffer the consequences of negative attitudes toward human life from conception to natural death. These cause and effect circumstances will include extreme economic downturns, distrust in the political arenas, loss of confidence in leadership at all levels., religious intolerances and anti-God policies, and numerous greedy and selfishness that impacts the "grassroots" of a free society. Yes, there can be a turnabout from these negative attitudes by persons willing to "transform" from their former habits and to be "converted" to the TRUTH that will set these persons free and save their neighbors, friends, and the general community from the tyranny of the "elitists."
Until the Law of the Land regarding Human Life is transformed to agree with the Divine Law of all Human Life existence, individuals may desire to ADOPT SPIRITUALLY an unborn baby who may be a victim of an elective abortion by the mother and uninformed reproductive advocates.
To help stop the "Pro-Choice for Death" 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, an individual may say the following daily prayer for a period of nine months.
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, 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, the 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."
As an example of what an Achievement Ladder Enthusiast is willing to accomplish, my prayers from January, 2009, until the end of September, 2009, were for "Matthew" and "Mary" as my spiritually adopted children. My current spiritually adopted children are "Joseph" and "Josephine" who are anticipated to be born by June, 2010. Will you CHOOSE LIFE?

IN MEDIO VIRTUS STAT....IN THE MIDDLE STANDS VIRTUE
Seeking the middle of the road has often been the choice of many persons who avoided extremes in their lifestyles. However, to seek the balance in their lives many persons have soften their stand on principles to meet approval from all persons. To do the "politically correct" approach means giving up or "saving face" to avoid unnecessary embarrassments. This dilemma has caused many individuals to become "wishy washy" in any challenge that would be considered a concession of their basic philosophical encounters on a daily basis. To be a mere "puppet" for others to pull their strings makes these persons incompetent to achieve what is conceivably possible in their lives. The middle of the road approach often leads to "mediocrity." To be mediocre often is the beginning of the end of their careers and of their life's ambitions.
For Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts the goal of maximizing their total potentials as human beings means a total commitment to whatever extreme makes them "ring true." Extremists are often avoided by the opposite extremists such as "liberals" versus "conservatives." To be what you say you are means to take a solid stand for your philosophy of life. There was once an author who wrote a book entitled, "You can trust a communist to be a communist." This implies that the total commitment to the cause of being a "card-carrying communist" entitles the person to be accepted by other card-carrying communists, who will risk anything to bring their cause to fruition. You can trust "liberal politicians" to be "liberal politicians" as they focus on giving their cause the full throttle in achieving their desired agenda. These "liberal minded individuals" have often received their education and their ongoing training from "liberal leaning" institutions of higher learning.
The opposite extreme of being a "conservative" seeks to find other individuals who agree with their "conservative" philosophy. Labeling persons as "liberals," "moderates," and "conservatives" confuses the general population in determining the essence of what, where, when, why, who, how, and how much should be accepted as reliable information to make a truly informed decision. Using "planned obsolescence," "supply side economics," "demand side economics," "deficit financing plans," "invisible hand marketing," and other such terminology often requires a better understanding than what the "media in general" often gives to the general population. If we "spoon feed" the general population into believing that one extreme is better than another extreme through general media approaches, the voters and the constituency receives a distorted, deceitful, and deliberate "falsehoods" to gather strength for their respective extremists views.
In the middle stands virtue implies considering all of the information and discerning what are "half-truths," "falsehoods," "conspiracies," "and "truthful" statements that can be properly documented and validated. Since "utopia" does not exist in the real world, the typical individual must research all available documentations to be more "aware" of the total picture. To be caught in the trap of what extremists try to push off as truthful, the individual will soon determine the pattern by effective research beyond the headlines of the local newspapers or the "edited" bulletins and general media that often leaves out "vital" and "essential" information that is excluded from many published reports.
The Achievement Ladder Enthusiast discovers the TRUTH that eventually will lead to inner peace, joy, and love that this world is unable to provide. In addition, the Ladder of Achievement progression will be determined by the humble admission that there are some "philosophies" that are inconsistent and that are irreconcilable to the Ultimate Truth that the Creator of all Knowledge and Wisdom invites all to consider and to live by in their unconditional commitment to a Higher Calling than this world even wants to offer or to acknowledge as genuine. To obtain virtue means to be open to what that virtue will do to change effectively our desire to obtain the Ultimate Achievement Ladder Triumph.
