Arab-American Psychologist Wafa Sultan

It is nice to hear it from an Arab the truth admitting that the founding of Muslim, its doctrine, and Koran filled with vengeance, and murder against non-believers even innocent babies and not the peaceful religion that others proclaim it is. Let us go forth with this knowledge never letting our guard down as Muslims surround this world with terrorism. Have a Merry Christmas.

Christmas, Holiday for the Homeless

Christmas/Messiahmas is the Holiday for the Homeless ETC.

Many times, I have heard sermons on Christmas about the Christmas Child and all nicety etc. but the reality of the whole story is about a homeless family!

They did not have permanent housing they did not even have a hotel room. They were squatters in a barn. Their downfall started when they obeyed the edict of a tyrannical government. This is what happens when you rely on the government for your substance and direction that you end up being in the cold!

By the provisions of G-D they received the first Messiahmas gifts and historically they gifts were sold so the family could make safe passage away from a murderous government. It sounds like our world governments today.

For years, this family was homeless and forced to live in a country that was not their own. After years, they returned to their own place but years later, this special baby murdered for our sins so we can have life eternally. What have we done to thank Him for this?

What did this Christmas baby do to deserve death only to protect us from our sins and eternal damnation?

We go through life and not give this special child our love and care but rather we turned his birthday it a “GETmeUS™” holiday, how sad this all is.

This year get out of your comfort zone and connect with others to redeem lives in the Love of G-D to those who have little or no hope. The life you redeem may be your own.

Till next time, Mazal Tov.

“I don’t like my property to be zoned" says Jim Albergotti

Hot and Fresh NEWS
READ IT HERE FIRST
A WebmasterSanta Exclusive
Booyah!!!

Jim Albergotti Orangeburg County Planning Commission Member and Chestnut Grill Owner presented and explained at the weekly Wednesday Night Supper Program at St. Paul United Methodist Church “the force through, proposed Orangeburg County zoning regulations” that is predicted to become law in January 2007 unless there is a rise up mass of citizens against the plan, according to Albergotti.

Albergotti said,” the people in Orangeburg will be upset when they find out they will have to have vegetation barriers around their property and other regulations soon to take effect.While Albergotti said he tried to delay Orangeburg getting a compressive zoning due to “I don’t like my property to be zoned and I feel that no one else likes it either”, to hell or high water zoning is the evil we will all have to face come January 2008.

The not updated Zoning ordinance .PDF is at http://gis.orangeburgcounty.org/maps/planning/zoningbook.pdf 131 pages beware of hidden details.

While listening to Albergotti I come up with items that concerned me.

First draft of the proposed zoning ordinance was entirely written by a consultant from Aiken not written by any citizen or office holder of Orangeburg County. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME!!!

Albergotti said, “That the comprehensive plan that they sprung the proposed zoning is outdated”. If it is outdated, then the proposed zoning ordinance is wrong but due to mandate of South Carolina Government, it is being forced through “come hell or high water”.

Albergotti was asked about a phrased in the Proposed Zoning literature he brought but could not explain what it was and when he did after going over the literature explained but guessed what it meant.

Before Albergotti spoke, he just came directly from the Planning Commission monthly meeting, which he serves on and said they made 41 zoning changes on the map, as they will do more changes until County Council gives it final reading approval. County Council cannot submit changes it can only pass or not pass the proposed Zoning Ordinance.

Not one citizen has seen the full present zoning ordinance in its entirety and with the rushed state the planning commission is doing before it gives its approval it seems to me the ole boy network is fast at hand.

With all the previous said and done, this is my recommendation that the Zoning Ordinance be table for 2 years and let all citizens has a change to look at and discuss the proposed Zoning Ordinances.

This proposed zoning ordinance appears rushed through just like the chicken farm zoning fiasco that Albergotti said then present Orangeburg County Council Chairman Johnny Rickenbaker was wrong on trying to zone the chicken farms since the state already did.

I am concerned about this rush through, parting the property owners and future property owners the right to design, maintain their property the way they see fit.

South Carolina is fast becoming, no longer the home of the free and the brave rather is now the land of the dictated and malign. If this does not get some to rise up the banner/ Stars and Bars once more, nothing will for freedom inSouth Carolina will now be displayed in a history museum.

G-D help us all.

“The responsibleness of government is to not infringe on the rights, privileges, etc. of its citizens.” ©2007 by RabbiDale All Rights Reserved

Violation of these words is what happened to Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, etc.
Now our own SC State Senator Brad Hutto is doing the same again in his attempt to covertly regulate the Internet and private businesses.

Brad’s assumption is that South Carolina State government must be in competition with private business and or if possible block private businesses from operating under their own directives. It is sad that Brad is well known for using untruths, legal maneuverings, etc. to try to persuade the voters, citizens and powers that think they be, to his, and other’s Democrat liberal plans.

One of the latest cases is Brad while being an attorney and SC State Senator representing SCDOT (South Carolina Department of Transportation) which is a conflict of interest against a private landowner, over a simple placement of a retaining pond in St. Matthews. Brad and SCDOT attempting to block the landowner’s placing the planned but not yet existing retaining pond in the back of the property out of the way and where the front of the property will be more useable.

Now here is Brad’s latest attempt to have SC government in competition with private business and or if possible block private businesses from operating under their own directives see the Times and Democrat story at http://thetandd.com/articles/2007/11/13/news/12790284.txt

Brad is wrong in the assumption that there are some people not able to get broadband Internet and that is not true. Satellite Broadband is available in rural South Carolina. Log on to HughesNet https://www.ussatellite.com/order-hughesnet.html & Direct TV go to http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/index.jsp and others.

So Brad you once again is wrongo. We the citizens of this State, Country & World do not need government help in the Internet etc., Thank You for stopping by Brad. Please stop wasting our tax money on these useless tax money endeavors of yours, fellow Democrats, and Rhinos Pork Politicians, its just plain wrong, Shame on You.

It never seizes to amaze me how un-tech people are in business.

It never seizes to amaze me how un-tech people are in business. The internet is a great tool to close the marketability gap between the large and small business. A small business needs all the help it can get to get its foot in the door. While large car lots with mega sales and has great websites, a friend of mine has a used car lot for 30 years and can’t understand why he needs a website.

Recently I was by my friend’s lot and there were 4 of his cars hoods open with signs spelling S A L E.

The prevalent thought in this town is that “well we been doing business like this for 150 years why do we need this new fangled stuff? These people will also “poor mouth” how bad their business is. “Go Figure” Lol.

Those in this neck of the woods that know and understand the value of the World Wide Web is doing well, while those who are tech-scared are well going under.

I suspect that my friend’s businesses will last only a few more months to a few more years then close unless he leashes the profitability and marketability of the World Wide Web.

The question remains will he wake up and get a “Real” website? Probably not in G-D’s Lifetime.

As they say you can lead an old horse to water but you can’t make them drink, is the scenario here.

Carabunga, riding high on the Web is the life I lead! Praise G-D!!! ™2007 ©2007 by Rabbi Dale All Rights Reserved

Once Again I met with a local artist

Once Again I met with a local artist and talk to her about her art business. In talking, she once told me about her website and that she designed it herself. I will not mention the name of the artist but it is a really bad bad bad bad website. Did I mention it was really a bad website, especially when an artist designed it?

The website is one that is from a free hosting place and you design by clicking and linking etc.

It’s really for people that have no knowledge of HTML and is just doing it as a hobby etc.

Its really sad that she can’t figure it out she really needs a real website done by a real web designer. It doesn’t have to be done by me but it needs to be someone.

The point of all this is, when you get to the point of getting a website remembers these words: “Get a real web designer and one who will also maintain the site and it really should be the same person. Anything else is just a big waste of your money and a big waste of time for someone who visits it.”

If you have so much money to waste and loss business then don’t heed my warning and instead of getting a lousy website and wasting all you money just forget the website and just bypass getting a website sand make your money go to some good by sending it to the mission address below.

Having a Bad Website(s) is just Bad Business™2007

Not just a website but continual maintenance as well.

Not just a website but continual maintenance as well.

People have the idea to get a website and somehow get one then let is just be their for months even years with out ever changing it. In time the pictures no longer show on the page and the info is no longer correct.

People have the idea to get a website and somehow get oneand then they just let it sit on the web for months even years with out ever changing it. In time the pictures no longer show on the page and the info is no longer current.

NOTE: If you are to cheap to spend real money on a website then plainly don’t get a website and let someone else make money on the web.

Having a viable website is a powerful tool for your business but it can be a big joke around your neck if it’s not current and really usable.

The cost on a website is low compared to other forms of marketing, sales, etc. but if you are not willing to spend the BUCKS then just lose money for not having a website.

Those who understand the value of the World Wide Web are making money; some is making a lot and some are doing ok. The old adage is true here “it takes money to make money”. This is true if you truly get someone who can build your site as well as maintain it as we do here at WebmasterSanta. For info email us for further info email us at WebmasterSanta@yahoo.com Thanks

Now Homeless - An Angel's House Burned Down

I was at the place where Sylvia works at where I pay one of my monthly bills. I noticed that Sylvia and Glenda her co-worker was not at the teller line. I mention where was Sylvia and Glenda at, I thought they were taking a late lunch. I was told that Sylvia’s house burned and was still burning as I stood there in the teller line and Glenda took her to Sylvia’s house.

The answered surprise me for you think that as “Saintly” she is that she would not lose her home in a fire.

Whoever reading this blog probably do not know Sylvia but I do. She is one that never said a bad word. She has blessed me with a bottle of cold water and a peach on a hot summer day that I had to walk all the way there to pay my bill.

At times of our life for whatever reason that G-D in his infinite wisdom and love allowed this tragedy to befall Sylvia.

I am with a sad heart that this has happened to such a wonderful friend and fellow servant in G-D.

Many times in our lives, people lose their home, some to fire and some to evil property owners. We may never know why it befalls that person to lose their home. Some lose their home due to G-D’s judgment on their life but for Sylvia I just cry and wonder why.

Life in this town has been hard on me for I am not from here (read my other blogs about this town) many people try to make your life miserable if you are not from here but Sylvia is one of the very few that does make a difference in helping others lives and all I can say is

Why Sylvia’s house L-rd why?

Please say a prayer for Sylvia and those who know here give here a donation to help here in the time of need

You can also send in a donation to our International Mission Headquarters and we will pass it to her.

They say you are not welcomed here - Hatred of people who are different

They say you are not welcomed here - Hatred of people who are different

Today I had an interesting conversation with a pastor of a traditional liturgical church here in town.

I have been a part of this church for over 4 years. I have been told many times that I am not welcomed here and have been kept from being hired for jobs that my fellow parishioners have had to fill for their businesses etc.

I have done volunteer jobs around the parish without pay as well as never a thank you either.

Many have used the excuse of my being handicap others just show coldness not only to me but to other members of the parish and community as well.

To them I have many faults

#1 First this is state where the War Between the States started and I am “not from here” as they will remind you continually. To them if you are not from here you are a D**M Yankee.

#2 I am an Orthodox Messianic Jew and am not welcome. Racial hatred of Jews is still paramount here.

#3 I am not rich nor well off so I am not capable of donating large sums of money to their “pet projects” They always have a project to send the teenagers of the parish somewhere. They have fundraisers to pay for the trip but there is no one in the parish that cannot afford to pay for their own child, thy act as if they are so poor.

#4 I am somewhat handicap, near homeless and many times without food because they as well as the community here have kept my business from succeeding and me from work because I refuse to go on food stamps or any type of government assistance.

This makes them mad because they think their way is the only way and I refuse, I have preached the same message taking social service, education etc out of the hands of the government and putting it into the hands of private individuals and churches, synagogues etc.

They think since I refuse to go the government easy way that I must be psychotic simply because I believe G-D’s way is the better and only way.

This Pastor as well as I have heard from various people have told them not to hire me for work. He wants to MAKE ME bow down and take government welfare. To put it mildly and I have told him such that I feel like he is trying to rape me, this may be strong words but it is the truth.

I have lost all trust for people of this parish community, and especially this pastor. When he hears I am suffering you can see the abundant joyfulness on his face, this is so sad.

Through all of this I Praise G-D and give Him all the glory and praise, Amen. Long time ago

I have learned to not put your trust in people; they will try to take advantage of you if they can.

I have learned long ago to look for the fruits of the spirit in a person’s life to see if they really have a deep & personal relationship with G-D.

As I see in this parish and at most churches in this town's fruit is rotten and will have a surprise we at the end of their life.

Do I go around and act out hate toward these people? No! I go about being nice to them and encouraging them as the Scripture says in Romans 12:19-21 (King James Version)

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

So this is what I do as much as I can I am still human.

One interesting note, one of the person’s that has tried to get rid of me came up to me one Sunday morning said to me” I don’t belong here. I opened my mouth and literally, G-D gave me the words to speak, I said, “I am sorry you are a bigot but G-D loves me.

She was a gasp and could not say anything I thought of Daniel in the lion’s den. She left and I found the pastor and told him what I said and he congratulated me. Unfortunately, was forced to leave and take another parish for he was not from here and not their cup of tea either.


Months later her husband was going to the same door as me in the parish hall, I opened it for him, and I said have a great day, you could see the absolute hatred on his face, but I smiled and was nice to him. As it says it heaps coal s of fire on him and that week he killed himself on their front yard.

For a church that is over 150 years and cannot get 60 people to show up for service shows the grounded hate that is prevalent in this parish as well as in this community.

The whole town is stranded in cliques, ingrowness and small family churches by people not fully trained who just got up and started preaching
One thing for sure, if you are different than them, they will claim you have mental illness. fraud or what ever to try to discredit you. Of course they are talking about themselves for they are looking a the beam in their eye

Matthew 7 (King James Version)
Matthew 7:1 - 5

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.


The census shows that people are leaving this area even the kids go to college etc, they leave for other parts of the country. It been said that in 20 years this community will be gone unless a real miracle of G-D and people’s heart truly change.

All of this reminds me of Star Trek show where Data put out a do not enter beacon out to keep people from crossing into the area of space that a hidden planet with a dangerous civilization is, this reminds me of this city and state.

Do not worry what the mad haters are doing but watch your back.

Go in Peace and serve G-D. Amen

Slum Landowners

Isn't it amazing that Slum owners will not fix your house but they want your rent money.

While I am against making more laws on the books, we do need a law against these slum landowners. MAYBE EVEN GIVING THEM SERIOUS JAIL TIME.

In the 5 years, I have lived in this city, all the nine places I have lived have all have been condemned except one, and that one had serious code violations and where I now live, will be condemned after I move out.

I have lived in three mobile homes and all have been condemned and demolished.

The chief building inspector condemned one place, a two-story duplex. The landlady a rich non-white, non-Republican business owner that made the city over rule the chief building inspector and rescinded the demolished order and had the building inspector fired.

When the aforementioned place, collapse due to lack if structure integrity or it catches on fire due to bad wiring etc. I hope that the landowner be held accountable for the deaths of the occupants and destruction of their personal property.

We must stand up to these slum landowners and their agents now or other, landowners will not repair their property until “something” goes wrong!

In our community, we have countless homeless and poor people and even a greater number of abandoned homes that are sitting vacant.

These properties must be bought from the present owners by private funds and sold to these people & enable them to fix up and bring the houses up to code.
Don’t let people that are powerful and rich who may just happen to also be non-white and non-Republican * gets away with substandard and dangerous

(*every landowner I have rented from has been non-white and non-Republican need I say more?)

He's a teacher, counselor, athlete and lay minister, not to mention husband, father, friend and neighbor. He's also passionate about making beautiful music.

Mason Turner, who taught chemistry and computer science to 11th and 12th graders in Orangeburg for 30 years until his retirement, is also active in Gideons International, Emotions Anonymous, Jail Ministry and even the S.C. Senior Olympics in which he won the gold medal in tennis this year.

Born in Spartanburg, he graduated from Dreher High School in Columbia in 1945. Turner attended the University of South Carolina where he earned a B.S. degree in chemistry. He met and married Irene who became his bride in 1952. In August 2002, the couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.

The newlyweds moved to Orangeburg and joined St. Paul's United Methodist Church. Turner joined the church's Chancel Choir, but after their children came along, he took a hiatus from the choir so that he could sit in the pews with the children in order that his wife could sing with the group.

"Irene has such a lovely voice. After the kids grew up some, I returned to the choir and have been singing since," Turner said.

What many people don't know about Mason Turner is his great talent and love of music. He not only performs most Sunday mornings with the Chancel Choir at Saint Paul's UMC but has also composed some of the selections of music that the choir has performed and will perform in the future.

Some of Turner's compositions include a cantata for Pentecost called "Gift of the Spirit," along with a collection of anthems, Introits and choral responses.
"I have about 24 sacred choral pieces," he said.

Turner said his first step into musical instruction was in junior high when he took two years of piano. In high school, he joined the church choir. His first venture into musical composition was during high school. He said he showed a local band leader two pieces he composed.

"The band leader told me, 'These pieces don't excite me at all.' I was very disappointed by what he said but quietly continued to write music," Turner said.

He continued in the choir throughout his years at the University of South Carolina and took courses in music composing, something most chemistry majors don't do.

During his years as a teacher, Turner said he basically laid his composing aside until he retired.

"I wanted to wait 'til I had the time to write," he said.

Today, Turner said he keeps a pen and paper handy to jot down music as it comes to him. The 24 pieces he has written have come to him this way, he said. When he is moved by a few notes, he jots them down. Those jots connected with other jots have become the wonderful and inspiring music that Orangeburg is blessed to hear.

"All music is good to somebody, but my favorite music is classical. I enjoy Bach Beethoven, Chopin, etc.," Turner said. "I enjoy the harmony."

In the past, Turner has sung bass, but his range is actually baritone. He presently sings tenor in the Chancel Choir. At this year's Easter Cantata, he sang the solo part of the Jewish Cantor and did an excellent job. According to those who attended the performance, Turner put his whole heart in the piece and did it without written music.

One very interesting piece of music that Turner wrote is not sacred or church-related music. It is a instrumental he wrote 50 years ago to honor his wife Irene when they first married.

"God told me that I should finally put words to the ballad (for the couple's 50th anniversary)," Turner said.

He presented the completed composition to Irene at their 50th anniversary gathering and performed the beautiful, uplifting piece that showcases his love for her.

Turner is humble about the musical gift he possesses."My passion," he said, "is that I hope this music will encourage the listener to worship Jesus."

Area residents can hear Turner at St. Paul UMC in Orangeburg most Sunday mornings, along with the other great voices of the Chancel Choir, inspirationally directed by Kay Crawford.

What's It Like?
Many people have asked me what it is like to be homeless. Here is some information about homelessness that might help you with your school project.When you are homeless you have almost no privacy. As you have no place to call your own, you spend almost all your time in public places - libraries, sidewalks, parks, etc. The only time you can have some privacy is when you go sneaking onto someone else's property when they don't know you are there. Sometimes homeless people find old buildings that no one is using. Of course someone owns the building, even if no one is using it, so it is illegal trespassing. But, if nobody knows you are in the building, then it's kind of like having your own place. Most of these abandoned buildings don't have any electricity, yet even if they did you wouldn't use it because it would give you away, letting people know you were there. That's why it's good to have a small flashlight with you, so you can find your way around. And, most of the time, these abandoned buildings don't have any running water. If they did have running water, then you could use the restrooms in the building. But, again, most don't have running water, so you don't have a toilet to use. When that happens, some homeless, just go wherever they are, and that leaves a smelly mess. Some homeless people are very clean people, but because other homeless people just don't care about anything, the clean homeless people have to put up with a lot of mess. And, they get blamed for a lot of things they didn't do. That's one of the bad things about not having any privacy - you can't even get away from the other homeless people. All the people with homes tend to look at all homeless people like they are they same, and that's not true. But, when people make shelters for the homeless they put all the homeless together, the clean and the messy, the nice and the mean, the happy and the sad. Even if you keep yourself clean, and you are nice to other people, and you are generally happy, you will be forced to live with other homeless people who are not. And when you have to live with these ugly homeless people, it's starts to take away your happiness, and you stop being so nice, and you don't care so much about being clean.Rest is something you don't get very much of when you are homeless. And a lot of that is due to the fact you can't get any privacy. When you live at a shelter, they are always waking you up early - 5 to 5:30 EVERY morning - 7 days a week. You never get a chance to sleep in. And, without privacy you never have a place to take a nap. Of course you can try to find some place, but there will always be the police, or security guards, or other people who won't let you get any rest. If you stay at a rescue mission to sleep at night, you have to wait in long lines to find out if you can even get in for the night. And if you get in, then the chaplains will want to preach at you for an hour or so before letting you go to sleep. And a lot of the preaching is done just to get you to feel bad about yourself. The thing is, when you are homeless, you already feel bad about yourself, so all that preaching only makes you feel worse - it doesn't make you feel better. And when you feel really bad about yourself and about your life you don't really feel like doing anything. You just feel depressed and sad. And you can't do anything to make your life better when you feel that way.It's against the law to sleep in parks, or on sidewalks, and in some places, it's illegal just to sit on the sidewalk, or laydown on a bus bench. Then you have to travel all around the city to find food to eat, and since you have no money, you can't ride the bus, so you have to walk everywhere. You have to spend hours everyday just going from one place to the next to get food. And all that walking will make you tired as well. Same when you go looking for a place to get clothes, or a shower.And all that walking causes homeless people to have lots of problems with their feet. All the sidewalks are either cement or asphalt which is bad for your feet. And it's hard to keep your feet clean which means it's really easy to get athletes foot. Athletes foot is a fungus that grows on the bottom of your feet and between your toes. It makes your feet itch and your skin peel, and sometimes your skin will crack and split apart and bleed. And this is even worse when you do a lot of walking because you will also have big calluses on your feet too. This is why I always mention socks, when people ask what homeless people need. Most homeless people don't have a way to wash clothes so they need new socks as often as they can get them. Although homeless people can get enough food to eat, the food usually isn't that good, or healthy for them. Most of the really cheap food is unhealthy, like Bologna. Homeless people get a lot of Bologna sandwiches and other fatty food. That's why how a homeless person can get fat. You would think that because he is poor, that he will be skinny, but that's just not true. There is a company in Nashville that makes donuts, and they donate a lot of donuts to the homeless, so lots of homeless people get donuts with every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Other foods like spaghetti and lasaugna can be bad for you if you eat a lot of it, and homeless people do get a lot of that stuff - fried chicken too. At the rescue mission, we eat fried chicken several times a weeks, and some times every day of the week.Ok, I hope that's enough for today. I'll try to write some more tomorrow. Thank you for caring enough to make homelessness a part of your school projects. I hope you do well.

This is why our local "Transitional Shelter is not working and has many problems.

You can’t steal from the homeless and maybe one day these “fine people” will find out, maybe when they go to jail for it.

Frustration
I don't understand how people can work in the "Homeless Industry" for many years, yet never understand homeless people, never understand what motivates homeless people, what it takes to get homeless people off the streets.Homeless people and non-homeless people live by different philosophies. And it would take the act of giving up one's own philosophy to see and understand the other. But something like arrogance creeps into the mind of the non-homeless person, convincing them that there is no need to understand the homeless person's mind - since it is the homeless person's mind that is in error.This assumption by the non-homeless person, especially those trying to help the homeless, is not only incorrect, but at the heart of all the problems with rehabilitation. Not until the non-homeless person understands why the homeless person rejects the ways of the non-homeless, will he/she ever be able to achieve anything like recovery.To be frank, all of the services for the homeless, all the rehab treatment facilities, all the shelters, has been one colossal failure. Rarely have they been able to actually assist someone in getting off the streets, and the recitivism rate of these people is extremely high. Yet, this never stops them from starting new programs - these new programs which are nothing more than a rehashing of all the old ideas which have proven themselves to be ineffectual.The old way of rehab does not work. It only makes sense that different and creative approaches should be tried.

Another Dear Homeless Guy Email

Dear Homeless Guy,

I am looking for information to write a paper about homelessness for my social work class, I'm going for my MSW at Boise State University. I also volunteer for several things such as Treasure Valley Referral where we connect people with needs for things such as food, rent, clothes, medicine etc with the actual items they need. Several months back I became a board member of our local housing coalition and it comes up all the time: What can we do? Sure we set up free Holiday dinners and give out coats etc.. but from your experience, what do you want us to do, how can we really help without getting in your way or being demanding and holding restrictions up?

MSW


Dear MSW at BSU,
Instead of thinking what you can do "for", or "to", the homeless, trying thinking of things you can do "with" the homeless. If you desire that the homeless be a part of your society, you should start including them in the things you do. Homeless people need community - community not just among the homeless but among all people. In that you will find the gap between the homeless and non-homeless narrowing.In that you will find more homeless people making the jump, from their kind of life, to your kind of life.The Homeless GuyDear Homeless Guy,Thank you for responding. Can you help me clarify? What do you mean by with? If I am taking my little girl to the zoo, should I call our local shelter and invite someone to go with us? Can you give me a suggestion on how I can encourage our community as a whole to open up to include homeless? I am eager to participate, but I am also still learning.

MSW


Dear MSW at BSU,

Well, like introducing any new person into your life, you do it carefully, and respectfully. You build up trust over time, starting small, and moving ahead only when you feel comfortable doing so. It took a while, a couple years, before my boss started inviting me to his home for parties he was throwing. And it took me even longer to feel comfortable being around his friends, and before his friends started becoming my friends. The process of becoming homeless is usually years in the making, and so getting out of homelessness permanently usually takes as long. Of course there are many ups and downs along the way.I'd start out by just having coffee, or having lunch together, and continue only in that vein until you'vre really gotten to know that person. Then introducing other family members slowly and in small steps - getting more involved, doing more involved things only gradually.It will take as long for the homeless person to feel trusting of you, as for you to feel trusting of them.Don't be surprised if someone you've befriended suddenly cuts off all communication. Just find someone else and start the process with. Homeless people can be fickle. Don't take it as a slight against you, and don't try to pursue a homeless friend. Let them return to communicating with you when they feel ready. Though you should hold your homeless friend accountable to your friendship, try not to make them feel guilty for their failure to meet your expectations. Mosthomeless people are emotionally fragile, and will usually feel more guilt than is necessary for a given situation - usually blaming his/herself for any failure of the relationship you've created together.At the same time, do not tolerate any disrespect from the homeless person towards yourself. Be assertive of your boundaries from the beginning. Don't allow them to use your possible feelings of guilt, or sympathy for them, as a means of manipulating you - of getting you to do things, or provide things, you are uncomfortable with. That especially holds true for requests for cash. Until such time as a homeless person gets to know you and respect you, he/she night figureyou for an easy mark. If you hold firm to your boundaries, (which at some time or another they will test you), they will eventually respect you for it.

Peace marches are not for true peace

As for the peace movement Cindy Sheehan and NYC Transport Workers Union Leader is not preaching about freedom but rather communistic government control. These same types of visionaries ushered in hitler and the end result was death to 6 million my people. It’s sad that people want flash in the pan, They want to be seen. they march so as to be seen marching while the country as is my beloved Israel is given over to satan by such peace marchers, terrorist, Jews who don’t know what it truly means to be Jewish. As the globe grows darker under the shadow of muslins and communist control these peace markers are distracters to cover people eyes to what really needs to be done, covering up their evil deeds. Proverbs talks about what these peace marchers truly are is lazy bums that are to lazy to feed themselves they rather kick dust so that you can’t see as they are stealing from you your livelihood, substance, morality and most of all a true relationship with our Creator Blessed be His Name. To a true Jew not just a wannabe Jew, but rather a true 24/7 Jew is one who does his Mitzvahs doing real work bringing home a paycheck and then taking that paycheck together as a family helping the poor, lonely, sick. Not just giving money but taking time to mentor, teach, play with the young and handicap that there reality is sadness. It is my mitzvah everyday to help the elderly, the lost children, and others along my way to make a better place while awaiting my Messiah to come again. I am doing a true peace march; I am out feeding the poor, I am doing a true peace march; I am out mentoring wannabe business owners. Who are not rich but rather trying to make life better for their family, neighborhood and beyond. I am doing a true peace march; I am out helping the sick and dying. I am doing a true peace march; I am out putting a smile on a sad child’s face whose daddy/mommy is in prison. I am doing a true peace march; I am out comforting the children, wives, husband father, mother etc. of deceased soldiers who have died in Iraq, Afghanistan and beyond. They are not out marching because they know that the peace movement, Cindy Sheehan etc. is just another way to make money for people that are to lazy to work real jobs and to help each other, They collectively are glad that sadam is out. One deseeded soldier’s mother goes out and gives food away out of her own limited means. Her deceased son was the breadwinner she herself is handicap. We are a Republic not a democracy. Isn’t it time we got back to that concept and again make this nation, my beloved Israel and the world a great place to live till Messiah Yeshua comes again. Prepare yourself for coming of the L-rd. Blessed be His Name.

Avatar Briefs: Don’t feed the homeless

Avatar Briefs: Don’t feed the homeless

Lets us not feed the politicians.

Let them beg for food and then they see how it is.

Let them try to find work along with the evil property owners

Let them sleep under bridges why we sleep in the comfortable houses.

Let them take the log out of their eye, Need I say more?

The “Government” is Not the answer

JFK (John Fitzgerald Kennedy) once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for the country.”

Simple words that in Today’s world seem to be silent in most peoples lives.

I am personally going through rough times and all the “good Christians” I know say the same thing. Go get government help.

Their whole idea is that their religion is really only a “Sunday only “affair This is not I perceive what really should happen but it has gotten to the point that people want not to do what the Bible truly says and what the Messiah said.

In Judaism, our whole is to do acts of charity ourselves.

In Matthew 25: 31 – 46. Nowhere has it talked about the government helping. So let us be the help and take back our taxes and live a fuller life with helping others ourselves ands not the wasteful government.

(read ending at end of Bible Verses)

Matthew 25:31 - 46

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Now let us go on and do what Yeshua/Jesus wants us to do. Let us keep our relationship with our G-D strong and helping our neighbors, no matter what economic level they are in

Tottenham Hale Tales: The homeless Chinese lady

Tottenham Hale Tales: The homeless Chinese lady

It is sad that people as well meaning as they might intended to be they expect the government to do the work as they remain off the sidelines of the human carnage they see.

We have to stop, reach out with the compassion and action to heal broken lives. “As you do it to them you are doing it to G-D, Amen

Would we not want the same compassion if it was us laying in the gutter?

Mucky Weather

Today it is storming hard and my thoughts heart and prayers goes to those homeless and poor people out there braving the muckiness.

Reach out beyond our comfort zone to care for those who can’t care for themselves not with government programs but from your heart and life that is designed by G-D, Amen
