Happy Thanksgiving!
The beginning or as some people may
say, the origination of anything tells us how
long, where, or why things have been done.
Thanksgiving is a time of showing appreciation to
others who have blessed you in some way.
On the other hand, a pondering question is
where it all began? Thanksgiving, some say, origi-
nated when the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth
Rock, but I think it goes even further back to bib-
lical times. There are countless times where peo-
ple have given thanks to those who have blessed
them in some way.
When Israel (Jacob) arrived in Shechem, he
gave a burnt offering to God for bringing him to
the lands of his fathers. Hannah, the mother of
Samuel, was thankful to God for giving her a baby
that she desperately wanted. Therefore, after he
was weaned, she gave him back to God.
The Israelites also showed thankfulness
to God for bringing them out of bondage
and into the Promise Land. We all should be
thankful for the gift of Jesus who was born and
died for our sins. He came to earth to give others
life. You see, when the Pilgrims came to Ply-
mouth Rock , they gave Thanksgiving a date, but
they did not start it. It has been around for a very
long time and it is not just limited to that day.
The act of being thankful should be on going,
but unfortunately, its not. So the next time some-
one asks you how Thanksgiving originated, tell
them it started during
biblical times. It was
finally given a name on
Plymouth Rock.

BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure’s new average is 115/75. Of course everyone in 2012 should know what his/her
normal blood pressure is. Please remember blood pressure is the silent killer. If you have a blood
pressure that is out of control, create many problems if left unchecked. What is your normal?
Some problems that can occur with uncontrolled blood pressure are:
brain=possible stroke
kidney=failure
heart=attacks
Please have your pressure checked. A simple thing could become a big deal. If you do not have
insurance, seek out free clinics/health fairs. If you are out of breath after walking a short distance,
always sweating, and it's not hot, always thirsty? Who knows what might be happening? Some say
garlic lowers the pressure, some say take two baby aspirins, or some say drink hibiscus tea, 3 cups
a day.
The question is what is appropriate for you? Belly fat equals a toxic problem. Too much fat around
the middle could be poisoning your liver to be exact. Horseradish helps detoxify the liver. It can be
found in the supermarket frozen food section near the cheese. That is usually where I find it.
Here are some things that may be helpful:
- pumpkin seeds flatten the belly. Let's not kid ourselves, we know when our bodies are out of
shape.
- fennel seeds help with gas/bloating
- add some water to lime, for those who don't like the taste. We should drink lots of water.
In addition, dropping a few pounds by exercising a bit could help. Just start by walking a little more.
Do whatever works for you. Blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, and blood sugar are all hot button
issues for me because the first man I ever loved died of a massive heart attack. He had all of these
things listed above and it did not bother him, just everyone else around him.
DIABETES
The average blood sugar is 70-100. 100 -125 is considered pre diabetic. Do you know what your
numbers are? Try the following to help with some diabetic issues:
- a teaspoon of white vinegar before meals may help reduce sugar spikes
- cinnamon-may help reduce sugar spikes. Place some on oatmeal, add cinnamon to your meats
while cooking.
Have you noticed at the supermarket that there are various items that have cinnamon in them? That
is not by accident. Please note that not all diabetics are overweight. Nevertheless, for those who are,
it is a good idea to drop a few pounds, and lower those numbers.
It's summer so don't forget to get your fill of fresh vegetables and fruits.
The following fruits are extremely helpful for some conditions:
Blueberries are a helpful brain food and may help with memory.
An apple a day helps keep the doctor away. This is also a memory food.
Strawberries are high in vitamin c.
Cherries may be helpful for your arthritis.
Remember your pink, blue, yellow artificial sweeteners. Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose may cause
you to gain weight. It might be better to choose a natural sweetener called Stevia.
AS ALWALYS CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TRYING ANY OF THESE IDEAS/
SPICES.
God Bless!

Lazy Son
It was 5:00 a.m. and the father went to his
son Shawn's bedroom door, knocked and
said, "Son, it's time to get up. Jump in
the shower and we've got to leave
ASAP to catch any fish."
Soon it was 5:30 and dad had the coffee
brewing, the boat hooked up and he just
finished packing the truck, when he no-
ticed Shawn still wasn't up. Furious the
dad pounded on his son's bedroom door a
second time and yelled, "Jesus rose from
the dead and you can't even get out of
Bed!"
To which the son replies, "Yeah, but it
took Jesus three days!!"

Prayer for September/October/November
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank you right now for all you have done in our life!
Thank you, most of all for your Dear Son Jesus the Christ,
who sacrificed his life so we can live. Help us to al-
ways remember who we are in you and that if God be for
us who can be against. Help us to walk by faith and not
by sight. Help us to understand if things are not the way
we want it to be now, that it will get better. Help us
Heavenly to remember you created us for a purpose and
that according to Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this
very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you
will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” So despite
what the enemy tries to do or say, we will live out the
days and purpose you planned for our life. We will do this
by praying at all times so that our faith would not fail.
Also so, remembering what that bible says “For I know
the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and
a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) So help us Heavenly Father,
not give up, not quite because we are your people, a
blessed people and no weapon formed against us shall
prosper! We thank you Father for being the author and
finisher of our faith. We love you! In Jesus name we ask
all these things; Amen!

Feature Book: Flawed System. . . Flawed Product. . .the TRUTH about the educational system from a
teacher’s perspective.
Excerpt:
Preface
Today is May 15, 2008. The students are taking the XYZ Test for 8th grad-
ers at XYZ Middle School. They have only been testing for about 40 min-
utes. In those 40 minutes, I have awakened 10 students. This is a very im-
portant test. Yet, they do not care about this test anymore than they care
about their own education.
Education in the United States has changed from the 60’s, 70’s
and 80’s when I was a child. I attended school in New York City at an
elementary school in Harlem. My parents transferred me to a private school not far from my elementary
school. I was mischievous, but smart. My first grade teacher, a nun, suggested that I be transferred to the
private school. Here, I was still mischievous, but the strong hand of various nuns, the principal, along with
my parents, kept me in line. Phone calls home, my parents’ belt, and my teacher’s ruler were all that were
needed to keep me focused and on task. Prayers and church complimented this regimen.

Inspirational Message
Exodus 20:12 states “"Honor your father and your mother, so
that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving
you.” This verse is often quoted, but many times not followed.
It does not mean to just honor your parents when you are chil-
dren, teenagers, adolescents, and when you become a young
adult, it does not apply anymore. This is a continuance until
they or you die.
In addition, this verse ex-tends to all that have authority over
you. I feel it necessary to say this, because some individuals be-
lieve if the adult(s) are not their blood parents, they do not have
to listen to them. This is a false and terrible ploy from the devil
designed to deceive and destroy families and communities.
With that said, this verse means to honor and respect those
who have cared for, sacrificed for, and loved you. Well, maybe,
it is that they do not know what honor means. Lets examine this
word, HONOR. Although there are at least three definitions for
this word, we will focus on the one that applies to this message,
the honor of one’s parents. To honor your parents means to hold
them in high regard, to respect the wisdom and knowledge they
have attained, having lived life longer than you. Furthermore,
this should be demonstrated in the way you communicate and
interact with them. Your interaction with your parents should be
worthy of this honor at all times.
This is especially important to remember when you are in
your early or even late twenties. The “sense of freedom” and “I
am grown” mentality seems to materialize more so during this
time period. If you are guilty of being disrespectful, haughty, or
down right nasty to your parents, you must ask God for forgive-
ness before he deals with you in a manner that you will not be
happy with. There are many children and adults dead before
their parents because of their disrespectfulness.
Honor your father and mother, so that they don’t have to bury
you first.

March 21st, October 21st, or December 2012? What do you believe?
Page 10 Volume 2, Issue 1
Jesus C
hrist is th

Y!
Some say Judgment Day is May 21st or October 21st, or December 2012. The Bible says, “No one
knows the day nor the hour when Christ re-turns.” This, I believe, stands true today. Instead of
worry-ing about the date, we should focus on whether or not we are prepared for the return. Too
many of us must make changes that will put us in a position to be worthy of Christ’s return. Are we
ready? Have we repented and asked for God’s mercy for the sins we have committed?
Will you be one of those staying behind after the Rapture? Have you accepted Christ? This
should be our concern, instead of the date. The date should be the least of your worries. If God
wanted us to know the date, he would have put it in the Bible with everything else He placed in
there for us to live by. There are some things
God did not want us to know. Obviously, the date of Jesus’ return is one of them. There are people
predicting the date and as a result, people have been selling their possessions. When the predicted
date does not materialize, those people are left with nothing. One organization, which will remain
nameless in this newsletter, has an estimated worth of $18,000,000.00. If the organization is predict-
ing the end of the world, why would they need millions of dollars?
"Study to shew (show) thy-self (yourself) approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" 2nd Timothy 2:15 - KJV. This verse simply means
that we should read and study the Bible. This process will allow us to not be fooled by the wiles of
the devil. Reading for yourself will allow God to help you to understand and act upon His directions
and lessons in His Word. Many people attend church and wait for the preacher to divulge the Word
Unfortunately, it is important that you read the Word for yourself. Whether you read or don’t
read for your-self, you are held account-able. The excuse of not knowing about the Word will not be
justifiable for God. I am saying all of this to say that if you read the Word, you will know that not
even Jesus knows the date of His return.
So, lets focus on what we do know. We know that Jesus will return. We know God’s expectations
for our lives based upon Bible principles. We must live by those principles and be ready for when-
ever Jesus will return!

allow YOU to direct our paths. We thank YOU

Something to Ponder
Page 11 Volume 2, Issue 1
What happens when a person gets saved?
When I got saved, I thought that I would feel, look, and act differently.
After the process, I became confused because I didn’t feel any differently
than before I was saved. In my confusion, I did not have the full under-
standing. I did not know that your feelings have nothing to do with be-
coming saved.
Well, being under my new pastor, I thank God for him being a man after
God’s heart. He teaches, and preaches the WORD with simplicity and un-
derstanding. He taught a lesson on being saved. I said, “ Oh My God, that
explains why I didn’t feel any differently than before.” Finally, I got an
answer to my burning question. I was elated.
Through pastor’s teaching, I learned what happens when you give your
life to Christ and why I didn’t feel any differently. Romans 10:9 states,
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt be-
lieve in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.” I did not feel anything because it was my spirit that was saved;
my soul and body remained the same. My soul is the thinker, chooser,
will, mind, and personality. My body is the five senses. The spirit is the
heart of God. At that time is when God set up his residence in me. He de-
posited healing, wisdom, prosperity, and every provision in my life that I
needed.
2nd Cor. 5:17 states, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new crea-
tion has come: The old has gone, the new is here!“ I learned that as a new
Christian, my sins were forgiven at that time. I began to think of things of
God, of how I spent my money, and began to look at life from God’s per-
spective. Now, I have the Holy Spirit to lead me and guide me to all
truths. Romans 8:26 states, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infir-
mities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered.”
Your spirit is the real you. Without the Holy Spirit residing in you, you
are a child of the devil, FOR REAL!!
Now that you know what happens when you get saved, what are you
waiting for? Come as you are. Nothing is impossible for God to do!
He loves you and He’s waiting for you!
God Bless!

Are You My Friend?
Friends play a significant role in our lives as teenagers in today’s
society. The people we surround ourselves with determines where we will
go in life. So many people go down the wrong path because of the people
who they allow themselves to hang around. Not everyone can be a friend.
There are many characteristics to being a true friend. A true friend is first
a God-sent friend. That individual is someone God puts into your life for
a season or life time. A true friend is also someone that can be trusted,
someone who is honest, and someone who has integrity, and good morals.
In a lifetime, we may only have three true friends with these qualities. In
order to achieve the goal (s) we have in life, we must be focused, and have
little to no distractions, which usually comes from choosing true friends.
We should always allow God to lead us when it comes to choosing true
friends.

IN MEMORY OF DEPARTED COMRADES
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's
hush,
I am the swift up- lifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die in vain as
long as my sacri- fice is not forgotten.

Glory to Glory
What's the biggest dream you have ever dreamed? Now can you be
bold enough to share it with others? I realize more and more that
God's purpose and plan is much bigger than I am. I'm simply a small
part in the scheme of things, yet I yield myself to Him. I am a dreamer;
a visionary you may say, therefore I desire others to dream big also. I
implore you to create a plan of action as to how you can influence,
change, and leave a legacy for your children or family. The only way
you fail is if you do not try.
"For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a re-
sounding "Yes!" And through Christ, our "Amen" (which means
"Yes") ascends to God for His glory. It is God who enables us, along
with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, and He
has identified us as His own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as
the first installment that guarantees everything He has promised us",
according to II Corinthians 1:20-22. Find a promise then ask, believe,
confess, and receive it by faith!

Are you a coffee drinker? If you are, I have a product that is great tasting and healthy! It is
called Organo Gold Coffee. You may say coffee is coffee, they all have caffeine and taste the
same. Not so, Organo Gold Coffee has an ingredient called ganoderma. It is a mushroom
grown in China used to treat many illnesses over there. The ganoderma infused with the coffee
has proven to be a healthy and great tasting beverage. Many of my customers, including my
husband, have talked about the increased energy they have after drinking the Organo Gold
Coffee. Guess what? No caffeine in this coffee.
If you are interested in purchasing some of this great tasting, healthy coffee, please go to my
website: www.aalgere.organogold.com/r/US
You may order as much coffee, hot chocolate, or green tea that you want. If you want to
know more about ganoderma, take a look at the following website:

God desires for all of us to be saved. It is not His desire that any should perish. Nevertheless, He also gave us free will.
Our Father desires us to make the decision of following Him or not. Have you made that decision? When you take your
last breath where will you spend eternity? Will it be Heaven or hell? The end result will be based upon the choice you
made!
It is my hope that you choose to follow God. If you make that choice today, you have to acknowledge that you are a
sinner and repent of your sins. You must acknowledge that you believe that Jesus is the Son of God who died on the
cross for you. It is as simple as that! God hears you and God Saves you! If you have not made that decision today, please
make it soon. Tomorrow is not promised to you and waiting until later, may be too late!
Eternity is too long to be without God!
Salvation! Is this your Eternal Goal?
