August 8, 2002 journal, forcing Ritalin on school kids according to a report on the NBC Today Show. More and more power is exercised by pharmaceutical companies over us and our children in this country to make us zombies. This mother and a lawyer appeared saying they were going to sue the school are forcing her 6 year-old child to be medicated, changing his personality from a bit rowdy to very seriously disturbed behavior from the chemical Ritalin. Treatment by powerful pharmaceuticals and vaccinations are more for the drug companies and their financial statements than for the people injected with such poisons in my opinion. Ritalin is said to disable the creative brain waves of individuals.

I believe the minor behavioral problems to be a result of sugar and possibly food coloring.

After the child became seriously disturbed the school dismissed him saying that they have nothing for him. The trend in this country is to dismiss troubled kids in the public-school and if the family tries to home school them then in some cases are considered unqualified and the kids can actually be removed from the homes of their parents and placed in foster care. Our Department of Education needs to be abolished. We have left God out by law.

It is all about controlling your children and their thoughts as an instrument of Antichrist.

The construction sites are paying off for the undertakers. There was a five car pileup on I-385 this morning blocking traffic. We have become one big destruction zone on all of our roads. There is no rhyme or reason to what is going on in the highway interruption logics.

The abortion clinic on Laurens Road is closed and for sale, if there is a bit of good news.

We are in a deep recession economically with businesses suffering, even restaurants are reporting poor business. I see major problems for this dollar driven society in the future.

James 5-15 "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him". Remember Lord our needs at this hour to raise up this faithful one who loves and serves you daily with all of his heart.

My brother-in-law lost the battle about 9:00 p.m. this evening with pulmonary fibrosis. I feel that a part of me died with him. It seems that the hospital and doctors did nothing to save him. Richard was a praying man and he lived a Christian life spotless in all matters.

If a person is going to die, then die at home and not in this hospital all hooked up to the tubes and machines that seems to make them worse. Death is a terrible thing and to see this come on a person is a most unpleasant experience. God, the giver of life and breath seemed so far away in the last hours of this man's life while many prayers were prayed.

It seems to me that something could be done to keep this body alive. I kept expecting him to rise up and shake off this inflammation in his lungs. The doctors reportedly said it may be pollution, that people are getting it and they have no way of knowing what is causing it.

If we believe what we teach then the soul of this man is with God in heaven. There has been captured on film the spirit rising from a dying man. Others say that the soul sleeps

until the resurrection of the dead. In any case it will not be long in my opinion until the Lord comes to rule on earth when death will have lost its sting and the grave its victory.

Water is part oxygen, it seems to me that to keep the skin wet, the body would absorb oxygen. The oxygen level of the blood should be about 97 points or as a percentage.

The West Nile virus is reported to be infecting younger people from mosquito’s this year.

Life is precious for us all. We expect to see the wayward die from their loose living and eating but when the righteous die, it is indeed a tragedy. The Disciples all died in service, otherwise, they would still be living. We're promised eternal life in heaven by God and by faith I claim that promise for all eternity. Remain faithful for future understanding of God.
