MIAMI (Reuters) - A mother shot and killed her four children before turning a gun on herself in a small town in Florida on Tuesday, authorities said.
The shooting happened at a house in Port St. John, in Brevard County, about 15 miles from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
A spokesman for the Brevard County Sheriff's office identified the victims as four children aged 12, 13, 15 and 17. They were shot by their 33-year-old mother, Tonya Thomas, who then turned the gun on herself, Tod Goodyear said.
All were shot with what appeared to be a handgun, he said. ]]> Open Café Dordt http://www.goodnewscafe.net/showthread.php?t=16223 Planet Earth Image! http://www.goodnewscafe.net/showthread.php?t=16222&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 21:39:59 GMT Just read about this..........

I posted this on another forum about "Christian Rock Music":

As far as I'm concerned there's no such thing as "Christian" rock music.
Many seem to disagree. But here's what I think:


All Christian worship music should be inspired by The Holy Spirit.

There are three kinds of music:

1. Of satan, by satan and for satan.
2. Of man, by man, for man.
3. Of God, by God, for God.

Number 3 is the music that should be used for worship.
"Christian Entertainment" music is only a way to make money
and is not anointed by the Holy Spirit.

Remember: ALL music goes directly to YOUR spirit, Good AND bad.

Where the doctrine is right, the music will be right.

Evaluate this:

1. The Music.
2. The people playing it.
3. The message in the songs.
4. The total presentation, such as clothing, surroundings etc.

Also remember this: We are what we are listening to.
The music you hear in your church represents the spiritual condition of your church.

"In the end the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people," he said. "We are both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing Himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule - treat others the way you would want to be treated. And I think that's what we try to impart to our kids and that's what motivates me as president, and I figure the most consistent I can be in being true to those precepts, the better I'll be as a dad and a husband and hopefully the better I'll be as president."

but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout the journey.




2] So why is a Car's WINDSHIELD so large & the Rear View Mirror so small?
Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE.
So, Look Ahead and Move on.




3] Friendship is like a BOOK.
It takes a few minutes to burn, but it takes years to write.




4] All things in life are temporary.
If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever.
If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.




5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond!
If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold!
Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!




6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end,
GOD smiles from above and says,
"Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!




7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities;
when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.




8] A blind person asked:
"Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?"
The reply: "Yes, losing your vision!"




9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them,
and sometimes, when you are safe and happy,
remember that someone has prayed for you.




10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES,
it takes away today's PEACE.






Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.

1965: 'If I Were the Devil' (Warning for a Nation) - Paul Harvey




This speech was broadcast by legendary ABC Radio commentator Paul Harvey on April 3, 1965:
If I were the Devil . . . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would of course, want to engulf the whole earth in darkness. I would have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, so I should set about however necessary to take over the United States. I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.” To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in Washington” . . .
If I were the devil, I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull an uninteresting. I’d threaten T.V. with dirtier movies and vice versa. And then, if I were the devil, I’d get organized. I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me. I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And I’d tranquilize the rest with pills. If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine yound intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an athiest to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say “she’s right.” With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons but not wise enough to control them.
If I were Satan, I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas, a bottle. If I were the devil, I would take from those who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps. In other words, if I were Satan, I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.
Paul Harvey, Good Day.

April 15, 2012

By ESTHER MCCOY - Staff writer (emccoy@heraldstaronline.com) , The Herald-Star

I received a Biblical outline from a child's point of view of what was learned throughout the year in junior church. It was sent to me from Wilma Kough of the Kolmont Community Church and was very humorous and thought provoking.
It goes like this:
"In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness and some gas.
The Bible says, "The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that. Anyway, God said, "Give me a light," and someone did. Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden. Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars. Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.
Pretty soon, all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy. But one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check. After Noah came Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy was Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent 10 plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels and no cable. God fed the Israel Lights each day with manicotti. Then He gave them His top 10 commandments.
These include don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance or covet your neighbor's bottom, the Bible uses a bad word for bottom that I'm not supposed to say. But my dad uses it sometimes when he talks about the President. Oh yeah! I just thought of one more - Humor thy father and thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua, who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshau fought the battle of Geritol, and the fence fell over on the town.
After Joshua came David. He got to be the king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise but that doesn't sound very wise to me.
After Solomon, there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testament. Jesus is the star of the New Testament. He was born in Bethlehem, in a barn. (I wish I had been born in a barn, too, because my mom is always saying to me, "Close the door! Were you born in a barn?" It would be nice to say, "As a matter of fact, I was.")
Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount. But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot, who didn't stick up for Jesus.
He just washed his hands instead. Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution."
Wilma noted that the details are a little skewed but the facts are there. God made the world. Jesus was born and died for our sins. He arose and is in heaven and will be back. ]]> General Discussions MaryB http://www.goodnewscafe.net/showthread.php?t=16211
