(THIS IS A REPLY TO A MESSSAGE RECEIVED FROM CLARENDA TODAY, FOLLOWED BY CLARENDA'S MESSAGE BELOW)
WONDERFUL PRAYER AND VERY IMPORTANT! LET'S ALL PRAY THIS PRAYER AS WE BEGIN THE NEW YEAR. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN!
BTW AS WE PRAY FOR THE VARIOUS REFORMS TO TAKE PLACE IN THIS COUNTRY, COULD IT BE WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE DOWNFALL OF "BABYLON THE GREAT?" AS GOD'S PEOPLE, WE CERTAINLY NEED TO "GET OUT OF HER" AS WELL.
[ALSO, "BABYLON" MIGHT INCLUDE OTHER OPPRESSIVE STRONGHOLDS BESIDES "FINANCIAL" ONES, PERHAPS STRONGHOLDS OF VARIOUS KINDS OF SIN AS WELL? GOD'S PEOPLE (AND EVERYONE REALLY) NEEDS TO GET OUT FROM UNDER THESE, TOO.]
SO LORD ALMIGHTY GOD, WE PRAY, REVEAL TO US MORE AND MORE THE MYSTERIOUS IDENTITY OF THIS "GREAT PROSTITUTE, BABYLON THE GREAT" THAT WE MAY FULLY UNDERSTAND FROM WHOM OR WHAT TO FLEE. WE THANK YOU FOR THE EXPOSING AND ILLUMINATING PROCESS (AS SOME HAVE RECENTLY POINTED OUT) THAT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE MORESO THIS PAST YEAR IN OUR COUNTRY---WHICH PROCESS INDEED HAS BEEN MOST PAINFUL, BUT YOU HAVE NOW SUCCEEDED (IN YOUR GREAT WISDOM) IN OPENING UP THE EYES OF ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE (AS NEVER BEFORE) TO SEE THE UNDENIABLE, RAMPANT CORRUPTION IN OUR HUGE CORPORATE ESTABLISHMENTS.
ALSO PLEASE GRANT US THE ABILITY, YES WE DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP, TO FLEE FROM HER POWER. (LORD GRANT US PRECISE DIRECTIONS TO THE EXIT FROM BABYLON!) LORD, WE ARE WEAK, FRAIL AND IMPERFECT, BUT WITH YOU, "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!" WE KNOW YOU CAN AND WILL SOON MOST CERTAINLY BRING BABYLON DOWN WITH YOUR INFINITE POWER AND WISDOM, AND THUS FREE US ONCE AND FOR ALL FROM HER OPPRESSIVE BONDAGE!
LORD WE CONSTANTLY KEEP OUR THOUGHTS FOCUSSED ON YOU IN PRAYER. PLEASE KEEP BLESSING, PROTECTING AND GUIDING YOUR PEOPLE. PLEASE KEEP BLESSING, PROTECTING AND GUIDING OUR PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, HIS FAMILY AND ADMINISTRATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR MERCY IN GRANTING US SUCH A GREAT LEADER.
THANK YOU ALMIGHTY GOD OF ARMIES, YOUR "LOVE ENDURETH FOREVER!"
IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS WE PRAY, AMEN!
ALOHA, MAHALO AND GOD BLESS! JASON AND LINDA IZUMI, KONA, HAWAII.

HI EVERYONE, JASON IZUMI FROM KONA, HAWAII HERE---YES, IT HAS BEEN IN MY SPIRIT RECENTLY, TOO (ALTHOUGH I AM BY NO MEANS A FINACIAL EXPERT) THAT PEOPLE SHOULD PERHAPS MOVE THEIR MONEY INTO LOCAL COMMUNITY BANKS, YES EVERYONE, EN MASSE. (THERE ARE ALSO SOME BANKS THAT MAKE NO PROFIT FROM CHARGING INTERESTS ON LOANS, IE. THEY DO NOT PRACTICE "USURY," WHICH IS A CLEAR SIN ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE!)
SO COULD THIS BE THE "SURPRISE," NEARLY OVERLOOKED AND UNDERESTIMATED, BUT NEVERTHELESS MOST BLESSED "STAKE OF JAEL" THAT DESTROYS THE LONG STANDING EVIL OPPRESSOR "SISERA" OF JUDGES' CHAPTER 5 ("THE SONG OF DEBORAH?") THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN DIRECTING ME TO THIS CHAPTER OVER AND OVER RECENTLY.
ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU WILL ALL TAKE THE TIME TO GO TO THAT CHAPTER AND READ IT AND MEDEITATE ON WHAT THIS VICTORY SONG COULD MEAN FOR US TODAY IN OUR STATE OF (FINACIAL, IN PARTICULAR) DISTRESS (IE. OF OUR COUNTRY.)
I WOULD (PERSONALLY) IDENTIFY "DEBORAH" TO BE OUR COMMUNITY OF FAITH THAT PRAYS FOR AND HOPEFULLY HELPS GUIDE OUR PRESIDENT SPIRITUALLY. AND OF COURSE THE LEADER "BARAK" WHO WISELY CONSULTS DEBORAH BEFORE GOING INTO BATTLE, I WOULD ATTRIBUTE TO "YOU KNOW WHO!" "JAEL" SEEMS HARDER TO IDENTIFY, SINCE AFTER ALL "SHE" WILL BE THE UNEXPECTED VICTORIOUS FIGURE.
WELL, JUST A SINCERE THOUGHT I THOUGHT I'D PUT OUT THERE FOR US ALL TO MEDITATE AND PRAY OVER, AS WE CONFRONT THE FINANCIAL CRISIS BEFORE US IN THE COMING NEW YEAR---A CRISIS, HOWEVER, THAT ALTHOUGH IS TOO HARD FOR US MERE HUMANS TO SOLVE, IS NOT HARD AT ALL FOR OUR GREAT ALMIGHTY GOD!
"WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSSIBLE!" AND "HIS LOVE AND MERCY ENDURES FOREVER AND EVER!"
ALOHA, LOVE AND "HAPPY NEW YEAR BLESSINGS" TO ALL, FROM JASON AND LINDA IZUMI , IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN!

Dear Warriors,I just read this post and I had to share!We have been praying about the Wall Street BanksAnd now there is something we can do to send a message. Please take a moment and read about Ariana and friends campaign to support the little banks who did the right thing while letting the thugs who have corrupted our financial system know we are not going for it. Watch the video and use the link to find a good community bank in your area. Tomorrow I plan to move my money out of Wells Fargo and into a local bank. Let's spread the wordand make an impact! Let us pray that this effort will become a movement that is too big to be ignored.Grace and blessings,Clarenda MOVE YOUR MONEYAt a recent dinner, a group of us began talking about the huge chasm between the record profits of Wall Street banks and America's struggling Main Street banks and started discussing what concrete steps individuals could take to help create a better financial system. Eventually, an idea took hold: why don't we take our money out of these big banks and put them into community banks? And what, we asked ourselves, would happen if lots of people around America decided to do the same thing? To help this idea go viral, filmmaker Eugene Jarecki has created a powerful, and inspiring video playing off the classic film It's a Wonderful Life in which community banker George Bailey is nearly destroyed by the rapacious and predatory banker Mr. Potter. Check it out, and see why we think you should make it your New Year's resolution to move your money.-------------------------------------------------------------------------This email was sent to 304 members of Obama Prayer TeamThis email was sent from Clarenda Jordan clareelu@sbcglobal.netListserv email address: ObamaPrayerTeam@groups.barackobama.comYour reply will be sent to: ObamaPrayerTeam@groups.barackobama.comUnsubscribe or change your email settings: http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/ObamaPrayerTeam/listserv-unsub-------------------------------------------------------------------------

MARATHON AND MANAGED TO PASS THE HCR BILL JUST IN TIME TO GET IT UNDER OUR CHRISTMAS TREES THIS YEAR! ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE THE END, BUT A GREAT VICTORY TOWARDS THE END, WHAT A BLESSING THIS WILL BE FOR EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY FOR MORE THAN A FEW REASONS, SO GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION!
ALSO VERY HAPPY TO SAY PRESIDENT OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY HAVE JUST ARRIVED SAFELY HERE IN HAWAII. WISH WE COULD HAVE BEEN AT THE AIRFIELD WHEN THEY LANDED, BUT WE ARE ON A DIFFERENT ISLAND. WE WOULD HAVE WANTED SO MUCH TO INVITE THEM TO COME VISIT US AND OUR 102 YEAR YOUNG (DEM.) GRANDMOTHER, MRS.

ALOHA, MAHALO AND GOD BLESS! JASON AND LINDA IZUMI .
TO OUR DEAR FELLOW PRAYER WARRIOR FRIENDS--
WE ALL KNOW HOW CRITICAL THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE IN THE BATTLE FOR HEALTH CARE REFORM, AS PRESIDENT OBAMA PREPARES FOR HIS ADDRESS TO CONGRESS REGARDING THIS MATTER ON SEPTEMBER 9TH. SO WE CAN'T EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR PEOPLE OF PRAYER RIGHT NOW TO BE PRAYING FERVENTLY FOR HIM, THAT GOD GUIDE, DIRECT, INSPIRE, PROTECT HIM, ETC.
IF WE DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LORD IN ALL OF THIS, HERE'S PSALM 127:1--"UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS THE HOUSE, ITS BUILDERS LABOR IN VAIN. UNLESS THE LORD WATCHES OVER THE CITY, THE WATCHMEN STAND GUARD IN VAIN."
EVERYONE OBVIOUSLY PRAYS IN DIFFERENT WAYS, SOME ADVOCATE FASTING AND SINGING PRAISES TO THE LORD AS WELL. ANYWAY, ALL OF THIS IS WORKING, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU AND TO OUR AWESOME GOD WHO HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYERS, AND SO WE ARE NOW ON THE VERGE OF WITNESSING A GREAT BLESSING TO SOON TAKE PLACE BEFORE OUR EYES.
A WORD OF WARNING HOWEVER--PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO PRAY WITH HATE, IT BACKFIRES ON YOU WITH A CURSE. THAT IS WHY THE OPPONENTS IN THIS ISSUE ARE NOT WINNING AND ARE NOT GOING TO WIN, EVEN IF APARENTLY QUITE A FEW OF SO CALLED "PEOPLE OF PRAYER" ARE PRAYING AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA. MANY ARE DOING SO WITH A HATEFUL SPIRIT, AND AGAIN WE CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS FOR THEM.
"MAY ALL WHO HATE ZION (GOD'S RIGHTEOUS, JUST AND COMPASSIONATE WAYS) BE TURNED BACK IN SHAME...MAY THOSE WHO PASS BY NOT SAY 'THE BLESSING OF THE LORD BE UPON YOU.'" --FROM PSALM 129. ALSO RECALL THAT THE PROPHET BALAAM WAS CALLED UPON TO CURSE GOD'S PEOPLE IN BEHALF OF MOAB, BUT THE CURSE TURNED INTO A BLESSING AND BALAAM AND MOAB WERE THE ONES EVENTUALLY CURSED.
SO "PRAY IN HARMONY WITH HEAVEN" AS ONE MEMBER OF A PRAYER GROUP WE BELONG TO REMINDED US, AND OUR PRAYERS WILL SURELY BE ANSWERED. (BY THE WAY, WE ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO JOIN THE GROUP "OBAMA PRAYER TEAM" ON THIS OFA WEBSITE. BE SURE TO GET ON ITS E-MAIL LISTSERVE AND JOIN US IN LIVELY PRAYER AND DISCUSSION.)
OUR GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL GOD BE WITH YOU ALL, AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR FAITHFUL PRAYERS IN BEHALF OF PRESIDENT OBAMA, HIS FAMILY, HIS ADMINISTRATION AND FOR THE MANY IN NEED OF HEALTH CARE. THANK THE ALMIGHTY GOD, JEHOVAH OF ARMIES THAT "HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER" AND HIS BELOVED SON, OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS THE CHRIST, AMEN.
"LET'S KEEP PRAYING MORE THAN EVER THAT GOD'S WILL BE DONE"
LOVE AND ALOHA FROM JASON AND LINDA IZUMI, KONA, HAWAII.
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 19, 2009--
SORRY FOR POSTING THIS SO LAST MINUTE, BUT WOULD LIKE TO LET EVERYONE OF FAITH TO KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE A 40 MINUTE "FAITH CONFERENCE CALL WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA"
AT 5PM EASTERN, TEL NUMBER IS--347-996-5501. JUST CALL IN OR--
YOU MAY RSVP AT--www.faithforhealth.org/join-the-call. may submit a question. OR JUST CALL IN(?)
HOPE MANY OF YOU WILL DO THIS, AND LET'S DISCUSS, THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS! ALOHA!
DEAR PRAYER FRIENDS, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ENDURANCE, THANK YOU ALMIGHTY AND MERCIFUL GOD WHO HEARS ALL OUR PRAYERS AND SUPPLICATIONS, WHO HAS BROUGHT US TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT TIME IN HISTORY WHEN BADLY NEEDED REFORMS IN THIS COUNTRY IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE OUR VERY EYES, DESPITE VISCIOUS OPPOSITION BY THE ENEMY!
THE BATTLE FOR CHANGE FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE IS FURIOUS, THE ENEMY IS OUTRAGED, WE NEED LOTS AND LOTS OF PRAYERS, ONLY THE GREAT LORD WITH HIS POWERFUL HEAVENLY ARMY CAN WIN THIS FOR US, FOR THE SAKE OF THE POOR AND OF HIS FAITHFUL. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THE VICTORY IS TO THE PRAISE AND GLORY OF OUR AWESOME GOD! PRAYERS AND SUPPLICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE VERY MUCH NEEDED IN THE DAYS TO COME, FOR MANY VARIOUS REASONS, BUT---
ONE AREA WE WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE PRAYER WARRIORS TO PRAY FOR IS FOR SEVERAL SPECIFIC MEMBERS OF THE SENATE WHO ARE LISTED BELOW. THE BATTLE IS TIGHT AND VERY IMPORTANT IN THE SENATE AND THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE, IN PARTICULAR. WHAT EVERYTHING BOILS DOWN TO IS THAT THE "PUBLIC OPTION" THAT THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES IS THE BEST SOLUTION TO THE HEALTH-CARE-HEALTH-INSURANCE-BUDGET WOES OF THIS COUNTRY IS NOW MAINLY GOING TO BE DECIDED THERE.
WE THANK GOD ALMIGHTY FOR MOVING THE MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO SIDE IN FAVOR OF THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSALS. GOD BLESS THOSE PRECIOUS SOULS FOR STANDING UP FOR JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, THANK YOU!
HOWEVER, IN THE SENATE, THE SUPPORT FOR THE PRESIDENT IS VERY, VERY CLOSE. WOULD YOU PLEASE CONSIDER PRAYING THAT THE FOLLOWING SENATORS (WHO HAVE NOT YET MADE OR BEEN ABLE TO MAKE A CLEAR PUBLIC STAND IN FAVOR OF THE PRESIDENT) BE MOVED BY THE LORD IN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS, TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS REGARDING THE REFORMS IN DISCUSSION---
BLANCH LINCOLN (AR) (FINANCE COMMITTE MEMBER)
MARK PRYOR (AR)
MARK BEGICH (AK)
JON TESTOR (MT)
MAX BAUCUS (MT) (FINANCE COMMITTEE CHAIR)
BILL NELSON (FL) (FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBER)
OLYMPIA SNOWE (ME) (FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBER)
KENT CONRAD (ND) (FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBER)
TOM CARPER (DE)
PRAY THAT THEY NOT BE DECIEVED BY THE ENEMY WHO IS BENT ON CONFUSING/SCARING/BRIBING ETC. THEM AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD. HEAVENLY FATHER GUARD THEM FROM BEING COMPELLED TO MAKE ANY SELF SERVING DECISION, ALMIGHTY GOD, PLEASE GIVE THESE IMPORTANT SOULS HEARTS OF MERCY, SELFLESSNESS AND COMPASSION AND MINDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE, KNOWLEDE, WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING TO BE MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS, MAY YOUR WILL BE DONE O PRECIOUS SAVIOUR!
IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA TO CONTACT, PHONE, WRITE, E-MAIL, ETC. THESE SENATORS AS WELL.
ALSO DO NOT FORGET TO PLEASE PRAY FOR THE GOOD HEALTH AND VITALITY, IN MIND BODY AND SPIRIT OF AILING SENATORS BYRD AND KENNEDY. GOD PLEASE BLESS THESE WONDERFUL LEADERS, FORGIVE THEM OF THEIR SINS, REMEMBER ALL THEIR HARD WORK, MANY YEARS OF FIGHTING FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE, PLEASE RESTORE THEIR GOOD HEALTH TO THEM, ALLOW THEM PLEASE TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UPCOMING VOTE, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
GOD BE WITH ALL OF YOU, THANK YOU DEEPLY.
JASON AND LINDA IZUMI FROM KONA, HAWAII
"HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER" PSALM 118
AT LONG LAST, AN ANSWER TO OUR PERSONAL PRAYERS---HUFFINGTON POST CURRENTLY HAS A HEADLINE FEATURING SEVERAL IN DEPTH, ILLUMINATING ARTICLES ON THE VITAL IMPORTANCE OF SERIOUS "PREVENTATIVE MEASURES," IF "HEALTHCARE FOR ALL" IS TO BE SUSTAINABLY SUCCESSFUL AT ALL.
WE URGE EVERYONE TO PLEASE GO TO THE HUFFINGTON POST WEBSITE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (BEFORE EXPIRATION) TO READ THE ARTICLES BY ORNISH AND WEIL. (WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROVIDE A LINK SO YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS ON YOUR OWN.)
WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS CAN BE APPRECIATED BY VERY MANY PEOPLE, GOD FEARING OR OTHERWISE, BUT TO US AS CHRISTIANS WHO WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT WE APPRECIATE THE BODIES OUR CREATOR HAS MADE FOR EACH OF US, AS WELL AS THIS PLANET HOME WHICH HE SPECIFICALLY COMMANDED US TO CARE FOR, THE ISSUE OF "PREVENTION OF DISEASE" IN THE HEALTH CARE REFORM ISSUE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US. IT MAY VERY WELL BE TRULY (OR SHOULD BE) THE CENTRAL ISSUE IN THIS DEBATE AS THE AUTHORS SUGGEST.
OKAY, YES, WE UNDERSTAND WHAT A HORRENDOUS MESS WE HAVE ON OUR HANDS, AND WHAT A HUGE BATTLE TO WAGE IF WE LOOK AT THE ISSUE FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE, BECAUSE OF THE NIGHTMARISH COALITION OF UNSYMPATHETIC ENTITIES RIGHT NOW STARING US DOWN ---DRUG COMPANIES, INSURANCE CORPORATIONS, THE JUNK FOOD INDUSTRY, GREEDY DOCTORS, THE DEVIL HIMSELF, ETC. ETC.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE POSTING THIS IN PRAYER GROUPS SINCE WE BELIEVE ONLY THE ALMIGHTY GOD CAN AND WILL HELP US TO GET THIS RIGHT (SINCE HE IS A LOVING AND MERCIFUL GOD WHO CARES DEEPLY ABOUT US) AND WE BELIEVE VERY PASSIONATELY IN THE POWER OF PRAYER! SO IF ANY OF YOU GET THE CHANCE TO REVIEW THE ABOVE ARTICLES, WE HOPE YOU WILL BE MOVED TO PRAY ABOUT THIS!
(BTW WE BELIEVE PRESIDENT OBAMA UNDERSTANDS THIS VERY WELL HIMSELF, BUT IS--WISELY--KEEPING LOW ABOUT IT. BUT WE ARE VERY EXCITED, AND THANK GOD TO KNOW THAT A VOICE IS SPEAKING OUT ABOUT--THIS CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT OF--DISEASE PREVENTION!)
GOOD WILL, GOOD HEALTH, LOVE AND BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU AND TO PRESIDENT OBAMA AND FAMILY, IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS, AMEN! FROM JASON AND LINDA IZUMI, KONA, HAWAII, ALOHA!
"PLEASE PRAY NOT ONLY FOR HEALTH CARE FOR EVERYONE, BUT FOR THE BEST OF HEALTH FOR EVERYONE!"
TO ALL OUR PRAYER FRIENDS AND OTHERS OUT THERE WITH SINCERE HEARTS--IT'S OBVIOUS TO MOST OF US HOW OUTRAGEOUS LIES AND DECEPTION HAVE BEEN FLYING RAMPANT ALL AROUND US LIKE WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, LIKE A PLAGUE STRAIGHT FROM HELL. BUT EVEN MORE DISTURBING IS THAT SO MANY SEEMINGLY ORDINARY, GOOD PEOPLE ARE BEING TAKEN IN BY THEM!
SO WE THOUGHT WE POST THIS MESSAGE TO ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO KNOW BETTER TO TAKE HEART THAT THIS IS BECAUSE TRUE, GREAT, POSITIVE REFORM IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE, BUT TO THE DISMAY OF THE OBSCENELY RICH AND POWERFUL. MAY WE POINT OUT THAT THE GOOD OLE BOOK SAYS BABLYLON THE GREAT IS DESTINED TO FALL AT SOME POINT, AND MAY BE WE ARE WITNESSING AT LEAST A PART OF THIS PROPHECY'S FULFILLMENT(?) ANYWAY, SHE ISN'T GOING DOWN WITHOUT A TERRIFIC FIGHT (WHICH WE CAN HARDLY IMAGINE WILL BE LIKE IN THE DAYS TO COME!) BUT DOWN SHE WILL GO, TO OUR REJOICING, AND TO THE GLORY OF THE GREAT AND ALMIGHTY GOD, THANK YOU LORD, AMEN!
THE "FALSE PROPHET" ENTITY, AS CAN BE EXPECTED, IS WORKING ALONG WITH HER, DOING EXACTLY WHAT IT IS BEST AT DOING---DECEIVING, AND UNFORTUNATELY TOO MANY ARE BEING SUCCESSFULLY DECEIVED! THAT'S TOO BAD SINCE THE PROSPECTS OF THE FALSE PROPHET AND IT'S FOLLOWERS ARE NOT VERY GOOD--SEE REVELATION 19:19-21.
SO LET'S KEEP IN PRAYER AND IN HIS WORD THAT WE NOT GET DECEIVED, OUR LOVED ONES NOT GET DECEIVED, ALL SINCERE ONES NOT GET DECIEVED. MAY WE KEEP IN FAITH THAT THE TRUE GOD HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE A CHAMPION OF THE POOR AND MEEK, WHILE OPPOSING THE PROUD AND GREEDY. MAY THE ULTIMATE ONE OF GRACE, MERCY AND COMPASSION BRING RELIEF VERY SOON TO THE COUNTLESS SOULS IN URGENT NEED OF PROPER AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE. SO MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD INSPIRE, GUIDE AND STRENGTHEN ALL THOSE IN THE FRONT LINES OF THIS IMPORTANT, HISTORIC BATTLE, IN JESUS' NAME WE PRAY, AMEN!
THANK YOU ALL FOR READING. LOVE AND BLESSINGS FROM JASON AND LINDA IZUMI FROM KONA, HAWAII, THE AMERICAN STATE WHERE PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS BORN 48 YEARS AGO YESTERDAY, AND WHERE WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IN THE WORLD SO MANY HAVE BEEN (AND SO EASILY!) DECEIVED TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE! ALOHA!
DEAREST PRESIDENT OBAMA, WE JUST WANTED TO SEND OUR CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 48TH BIRTHDAY, AND TO SAY YOU ARE DOING A SUPERB JOB IN THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF OUR LAND! WE ARE WITH YOU A 100 PER CENT, PRAYING FOR YOU EVERY DAY .
WE ARE HAPPY TO DECLARE YOU WERE BORN AT HONOLULU'S KAPIOLANI HOSPITAL IN OUR STATE OF HAWAII, U. S. A. ON AUGUST 4, 1961. WE FEEL SORRY FOR ANYONE WHO INSISTS OTHERWISE----MAY THE GOOD LORD BRING THEM TO THEIR GOOD SENSES SOON SO THAT THEY CAN GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK AND START DOING SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE FOR A "CHANGE."
ACTAULLY WHEREVER YOU WERE BORN, WE DON'T REALLY CARE----WE ARE JUST SO HAPPY AND THANKFUL YOU WERE BORN, PERIOD!
MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD KEEP PROTECTING AND GUIDING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR ADMINISTRATION, AND MAY HE KEEP GRANTING YOU SUCCESS WITH ALL THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS, IN JESUS' NAME WE PRAY, AMEN!
ALOHA AND BLESSINGS FROM JASON AND LINDA IZUMI FROM KONA, HAWAII.
TO OUR BELOVED FAMILY OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD FROM US IN HAWAII, JASON AND LINDA IZUMI WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY NOWRUZ WHICH WE JUST NOW LEARNED IS YOUR NEW YEAR CELEBRATION!!!
WE JUST SAW THE VIDEO OF OUR PRESIDENT OBAMA SENDING GREETINGS YOU ALL FOR THIS SPECIAL DAY OF THE YEAR FOR YOU. WE DID NOT REALIZE YOU HAD A DIFFERENT DATE TO START OFF THE CALENDAR YEAR! THIS SHOWS HOW THERE IS JUST SO MUCH WE NEED TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER! ANYWAY, WE HOPE THIS WILL ALSO BE THE START OF A NEW ERA OF PEACE AND RENEWED FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN OUR COUNTRIES.
WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS DESCENDED FROM OUR ORIGINAL PARENTS ADAM AND EVE, AND IT IS OUR HOPE WE WILL ALL NOT FORGET THIS, THAT WE ARE ALL ONE FAMILY. WE HOPE YOU WILL PLEASE FORGIVE US FOR THE WRONGS WE AS A NATION HAVE COMMITTED AGAINST YOU OVER THE YEARS. LET US FROM THIS DAY FORWARD PLEASE MAKE AN EFFORT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER AND UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER THAT WE MAY ACHIEVE THE PEACE WE KNOW ALL OF US DESIRE!
SO WE KINDLY AND HUMBLY ASK TO PLEASE GIVE OUR PRESIDENT AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD THIS PEACE REACHING EFFORT. MANY OF US ARE PRAYING FOR HIM AND HIS ADMINISTRATION DAY AND NIGHT, THAT GOD LEADS THEM ON THE RIGHT PATH TO MAKE PEACE WITH ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. WE ALSO ASK THIS OF OUR OWN PEOPLE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES ESPECIALLY, TO COOPERATE WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA. PLEASE LET US ALL BEGIN A NEW TIME OF FAIRNESS, JUSTICE, UNDERSTANDING, GOODWILL, HOPE, CHANGE AND PEACE. MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!!!
SINCERE REGARDS FROM YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER AND FRIENDS JASON AND LINDA IZUMI FROM KONA, HAWAII WHERE WE ALSO SEND OUR "ALOHA" TO YOU WHICH IN HAWAIIAN MEANS LOVE, PEACE, GOODWILL, CHARITY, KINDNESS, BEST WISHES AND MANY OTHER GOOD THINGS!
HOWEVER!!! -- "CHANGE" IS NOT ALWAYS WELCOME ESPECIALLY WHEN IT AFFECTS THE "POWERFUL AND WELL CONNECTED!!!" -- NOT NOW NOT THEN, NOT EVEN DURING JESUS' DAYS, REMEMBER?! -- NOTHING NEW, SAME STORY, WHEN ARE WE EVER GOING TO LEARN TO BREAK OUT OF THIS TRAGIC CYCLE?! UPITY, MYOPIC BISHOPS ON THE EUROPEAN MAINLAND BROUGHT CHARGES AGAINST THIS LATER TO BE VENERATED SAINT AND EVEN GOT SOME OF THE IRISH PEOPLE THEMSELVES TO OPPOSE HIM. (HINT: LET'S NOT MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE AGAIN THIS TIME!)
BUT NEVER FOOL WITH A GIFTED VISIONARY LEADER (ABOUT WHICH ONE OBAMA BLOGGER WROTE EXTENSIVELY AND SUPERBLY RECENTLY) AND ESPECIALLY NOT ONE WITH AN OVERSIZED "SHALLALY OF HOPE" IN HIS HANDS! HE'LL GO PLACES! AND ST. PADDY WENT! THE IRISH CHURCH CAN CREDIT ST. PATRICK FOR MAKING IT THE "GREATEST MISSIONARY CHURCH IN HISTORY" ACCORDING TO SOME SCHOLARS.
SO DEAR PRESIDENT "O'BAMA" WHOSE NAME SOME HAVE ACTUALLY TRACED BACK TO THE EMERALD ISLE, AS YOU PREPARE FOR YOUR OVERSEAS VENTURES SOON, WHILE AMERICANS FORTUNATE ENOUGH SUP ON CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE, AND AS BILLIONS OF EYES THROUGHOUT THE PLANET LOOK UPON YOU FOR HOPE AND CHANGE, REMEMBER THE GREAT LEGACY OF HOPE AND CHANGE BEGAN BY ST. PATRICK AND DON'T FORGET THE MIRACLES WORKING FOR YOU TODAY:
YOUR FIRST NAME BARACK IS A "BLESSING." HUSSEIN IS "GOOD" AND IS A MIRACLE IN ITSELF -- HOW IT SURVIVED AN AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN THIS DAY AND AGE IS BEYOND JASON AND LINDA, AND WHO KNOWS THE POTENTIAL ADVANTAGE THIS NAME WILL AFFORD YOU AS YOU WORK THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST! ALSO YOUR EARTH QUAKING FOOTSTEPS -- THEY'RE GENERATING A TIDAL WAVE OF SUPPORTERS THROUGHOUT THE PLANET WATCHING OUT FOR YOU AND FOR OUR (MAYBE FINAL? WHO KNOWS...) CHANCE FOR HOPE AND PEACE.
"SNAKES" WITH ANY "SHENANIGANS" IN MIND AGAINST YOU HAD BETTER GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THIS GIGANTIC MIRACLE TSUNAMI OF HOPE AND CHANGE COMING THEIR WAY! WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON GETTING "LEFT BEHIND." WE ARE GOING TO GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME!!!
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO YOU AND FAMILY PRESIDENT O'BAMA, AND TO ALL OUR O'BAMA FRIENDS OUT THERE FROM JASON AND LINDA IZUMI FROM KONA, HAWAII WHERE GREEN IS "IN" ALL YEAR 'ROUND!.......LINDA PLEASE PASS THE POTATOES.......JASON GET THAT TABASCO AWAY FROM SUE!.......(JUST KIDDING SUE...WE LOVE YA SWEETHEART.....KEEP POURING ON THAT HOT SAUCE!)
P.S. AND GOD'S LOVE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL! ALOHA!
Aloha beloved fellow Obama friends! Just reminding you that the GREEN DAY is coming up Tuesday and Linda and I would like to suggest some of you start doing some research right away on this AMAZING SAINT -- PATRICK, that is, although President Obama is PRETTY AMAZING HIMSELF!!!
Anyway, Linda and I will post our thoughts soon about what we think about St. Patrick and Obama and the President's overseas trip soon and the world, etc...etc.......
HMMMMMM.....see if we can explain this one.....
Have a WONDERFUL Sunday everyone, God bless! from Jason and Linda Izumi from Kona, Hawaii where ALOHA means love, charity, grace, peace and a lot of other good stuff.......
Linda and I just had our weekly COMPLETE day of rest...No news is GOOD news once a week at least...Comments to be SHORT and (hopefully) SWEET tonite...Hope everyone has BEEN BEHAVING YOURSELVES!!!...First to visit LM, then Blue, then Sue and as many as possible... God bless ALL of you out there and GOD BLESS PRESIDENT OBAMA WHO'S DOING A GREAT JOB SO FAR...ony your mark get set go!!!!.................................
FLORIDA HERE WE COME!!! No, not to do campaigning as we did last fall, but to show our artwork at OUTDOOR ART FESTIVALS throughout this SUNSHINE AND BATTLEGROUND STATE which, as none of us will ever forget, got a fresh coating of CELESTIAL (blue) for President Obama.
Jason has been coming to THE LAND-O-GATORS since 1992 to show his mixed media paintings and Linda is his dear "Unpaid Artist's Assistant" as these are unfortunately called (not to worry, we're actually IN LOVE with each other MUCHISSIMO and take care of each other MUY BIEN!)
Anyway, just like to toss an IDEA out to all of you: ART FESTIVALS are soon to be springing up all over the country as they do every year, and are attended by countless thousands. So Linda and I would like to suggest we all take out our favorite OBAMA GEAR to show off our support of our President! -- OBAMA t-shirts, OBAMA pins, OBAMA badges, OBAMA tatooes, OBAMA baseball caps, OBAMA socks, OBAMA coffee mugs anyone? -- anyway you get the idea. This would be a FUN and easy way to OFA -- Organize For America!!!
These ART FESTIVALS are equal opportunity and non-partisan of course, but who said we're PARTISAN? Democrats, Republicans, Independents as well as other Crats, Cans and Dents, All voted for our MAN, so DON'T BE SHY!!! Our guy needs us to OPENLY SUPPORT HIM!!!
We're all in this for LIFE, folks (and for LIfe's SAKE!) Might as well make it ENJOYABLE ...sometimes at least...
FREE ARTWORK to anyone who spies Linda or me WITHOUT something "OBAMA" flashing from our person or our booth at any of these shows!!!...
Come see us, and our ARTWORK of course, in De Land, Jacksonville (Mandarin,) Maitland and Apopka or visit our studio in Altamonte Springs, on Palm Springs Dr. near the mall...
We'll be leaving sunny Hawaii for sunny Florida on the 25th of March. (Very sorry to be spewing all that pollution into the skies over our beloved country, please forgive us)...
Aloha from Jason and Linda Izumi from Hawaii, where our favorite U.S. congressman Neil Abercrombie (D) just announced he SHALL be running for our new governor next year, which is going to be a BIG BATTLE against (Bush kissing and Obama defaming) Linda --"wicked witch of the west" -- Lingle's 2nd in command, Duke Aiona (R) who has already pulled out his knives for the contest. But we'll be rooting for our OBAMA MAN Abercrombie. WE JUST LOVE BEING ON THE WINNING SIDE!!!
Linda and I were working yesterday so did not get to watch President Obama's health care summit conference (except for a few peeks now and then whenever I got a chance to leave grandma Teshima's busy kitchen to sit at her coktail lounge where there is a TV almost forever tuned to CNN.)
Whatever I did get to see, though, must say was rather NICE! People were RESPECTFUL, rather CIVILIZED I should say, even when there was an R by their name, and Mr. President looked so calm and IN CHARGE. Can only hope and pray this trend continues.
Got a hold of our local paper tonight anyway, and was generally pleased with the way this process is starting off. We liked "Every voice has to be heard. Every idea must be considered...The status quo is the one option that is not on the table." As well as, " Those who seek to block any reform at all, any reform at any cost, WILL NOT THIS TIME AROUND." (Emphasis ours.)
But our favorite, and the AP writer Liz Sidoti mentioned the next item just for us we think. Did anyone get to see our President SNEEZE? Twice in fact, according to Sidoti. In jest the President said, "This is a health care forum, so I thought I'd model what happens when you don't get enough sleep." (Emphasis ours.)
Linda and I wonder if this was really JEST? Was this actually planned as he states (he "thought" or was thinking that he would...) albeit jokingly? Likely not. Was this "blurb" sub-conscious, or the little incident a revelation of his sub-conscious mind and perhaps own PHILOSOPHY concerning the whole matter? Or even an unintended but PROHETIC (type of) statement FOR ALL OF US? That there is a CAUSE and an EFFECT ("...what happens when...") to be carefully considered and understood when it comes to taking care of one's own INDIVIDUAL health concerns?
Well, we'll leave this at that because we don't want to get people too worked up or scared and we know our cool calm collected and REASONABLE President does not want to either, that much we are sure. Linda and I are not too crazy "health freaks." Well, maybe Jason is, but not me, Linda, hi! He did say however, that he wanted "every idea...considered." We suspect (and we venture to say) that he is (personally) big on PREVENTION. Who knows?
Let's all try for CONSENSUS, though, let's meet in the middle, find common ground to agree upon, with all our strength. We are so proud of all of you at the summit who carried yourselves with such ADMIRABLE RESPECTFULNESS towards one another and our President. We wish you all out there the best possible health, and we ask the Lord to bless all those working on the health care reforms needed so urgently in this country to be completely successful in their endeavors to bring relief to our people. Thank you o merciful Saviour, in Jesus' name we pray, amen. Love and aloha from Jason and Linda Izumi from Kona, Hawaii.
Linda and I almost completely forgot about all that "SURGE" controversy last fall until our own Hawaii state representative Neil Abercrombie brought that up again a few days ago (please see our last blog below.)
Anyway, we will dare to stick our hands back into that hornets' nest once again and admit we only now realize (I guess we're kinda slow) how MISLEADING the phrase "success of the surge" has been all along, just as deceptive and presumptuous as the phrase "mission accomplished," although the latter has been subsequently quite ridiculed enough and is now generally dismissed.
Whether Abercrombie is right in claiming the surge was basically a "'surge' in money," or if there was a combination of extra military force plus any number of other factors contributing to the relative quiet in Iraq at the moment, the fact remains that we STILL are left with a SERIOUS MESS there -- more like a TIME BOMB ticking away.
So our (belated) hats off to Barack Obama who we all remember absolutely refused to give in to the likes of Katy Couric and others who stuck pins and needles in him over and over to try to get him to "admit" that the "surge was a success." It was'nt and he didn't.
So since we could not think of a better description of the surge, would you all give Linda and me permission to be the very last ones please, to use that other "unfortunate" phrase (used in our title and that is known to have gotten users of that phrase into lotsa trouble in the past,) and then we'll toss it into the nearest volcano, thank you.
We thank God, however, for our VISIONARY President Obama who had known from the beginning we have always needed a primarily POLITICAL SOLUTION to our problems in that region, and we are confident he and his team will guide us SUCCESSFULLY through the mess we've made there IF WE LET HIM PLEASE! And may our Almighty, merciful God be with them every moment and every step of the way through the entire process, AMEN!
Much better than "Governor Lingle (R)" to (my wife) Linda's and my ears! We couln't stomach Lingle after her bad mouthing our own beloved native son so much in Minneapolis last summer. Poor form! Shame on you Gov. Lingle! Should have kept those puckers ZIPPED!
Anyhow...We're so thankful this www (wicked witch of the west -- one of 2 by the way, that courted the other "w" -- "Dubya" -- remember that one?) has got to step down because her term expires next year -- Halelujah! Thank you Lord! But we dread to ponder where she's riding off on her broom to next...we'll have to keep an eye on her closely and keep you alerted...
So then, who's going to be our next governor? Linda and I hope and predict it will be Neil Abercrombie who was on CNN the other night according to a HEADLINE (Associated Press) article in our local paper (West Hawaii Today) yesterday. No official word on whether he's going to run, but could going on national TV be a sign he's testing the waters? Anyway, we like to boast that he is one of Barack Obama's earliest and closest supporters, and was a good friend of his parents at the university here.
Besides commenting on the problematic situation with our troops in Iraq and Afganistan at the moment and that our strategy for our future in that region is still being figured out, Abercrombie did have something interesting to say about that SURGE which former President George W. Bush pushed and pushed for towards the end of his term. Remember all the talk about the surge being a success?
Well, Abercrombie flatly DENIED that it was really a success: "What we did is we bribed people. We paid people not to kill us...That's all the surge is. It's a surge in money."
This is obviously a strong statement and we thank Representative Abercrombie for his straightforward candidness which we like about him. Just wonder what the R response will be if any. It would be an important point to consider as President Obama and his team move forward in their strategies.
Thought we should post this nationally since Neil Abercrombie is from our dear President's home state, Hawaii, as if you all didn't already know!?! Aloha, mahalo and God bless -- Jason and Linda Izumi from Kona on the Big Island.
Well, Linda and I will flush our blushes and be the first to confess we used to shun all toilet tissue, oh excuse us, that is, TOILET PAPER, except for the fluffiest and most comfortable of them all: Charmin Ultra Extra Soft. But now that we learned from the recent New York times front page article about how HARMFUL to the environment it is to manufacture TOILET PAPER, we shall announce to all of you that we will sacrifice a bit of comfort and will here on buy TOILET PAPER only made from RECYLED sources, as recommended. And may God please forgive our sins!
NOW THAT WE GOT YOUR ATTENTION: We challenge EVERYONE to BOYCOTT ALL TOILET PAPER MANUFACURING COMPANIES THAT DO NOT PRACTICE RECYCLING!!! Let's clear ALL the shelves of ALL our country's stores, THROUGH BOYCOT, of All TOILET PAPER that is not made from a RECYCLED SOURCE! Please help save our trees, air, water and planet by doing this TOGETHER!
And imagine what a message this would send to just about EVERYONE: companies, corporations, politicians, our BELOVED PRESIDENT HIMSELF, etc. if this boycot is done "en masse," on a large scale -- because everyone would know these are PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PEOPLE out here (who else would make such a fuss over toilet paper except progressives with VISION) and that we know and understand and SUPPORT his agenda, and not only concerning the environment, but the economy, foreign policy, civil rights, etc. etc. -- his ENTIRE AGENDA!
Oh, we forgot, there probably isn't enough recycled toilet paper to go around! Oh well,... just a thought. (And we really thought we were getting somewhere with this idea!) Well maybe we should at least put EXTREME PRESSURE on our stores to stock up on RECYCLED STUFFF in general anyway. And as our President has said, we need to start from the "bottom up." (Please forgive us that pun!) But let's do all think about this a bit: rattling the top from the bottom up...We will all soon have to ratchet up the gears as we go forward with the White House Agenda anyway, and (we Obama people) need to be the first to be willing to make "progressive " CHANGES in OUR OWN WAYS OF THINKING AND IN OUR OWN DAILY LIVES.
Aloha, mahalo and God bless! -- Jason and Linda Izumi from Kona, Hawaii, where we have to admit with regret, we do currently have a serious and shameful waste management problem on this otherwise lovely island.
P.S. Remember the BostonTea Party, when those feisty patriots dumped all that tea in the harbour? Well, just a thought...
We're posting this everywhere since this is of importance to all: The President did not need to remind us Tuesday that our health care system is in shambles and that our health care PRACTICES are DEPLORABLE, but we are confident he will put together the best people to eventually come up with a good over all health care plan, and we will certainly support him.
That said, and because prayer requests for a lot of sck people, many without adequate insurance coverage, have been pouring in to our e-mail lately, WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK: Did you all hear that great word that took less than a second to come out of President Obama's mouth: PREVENTION? He has been saying all along that PREVENTATIVE measures will be an important part of this plan.
Well, we can all start RIGHT NOW to help ourselves attain good health and help PREVENT a lot of PAIN, SUFFERING AND ANGUISH for ourselves and our loved ones by LIVING A HEALTHFUL LYFESTYLE -- sensible diet, sensible exercize, adequate sleep, positive thinking, prayer, EDUCATING OURSELVES on this matter and concerning our own ailments, sensible supplementation, etc. etc. As the saying goes, "an ounce of PREVENTION saves a TON of CURE," and a lot of MONEY, too, for you and WE.
We understand that with the current state of our market system, which is totally invaded by greedy chain restaurants, stores, pharmacies and markets which have absolutely no concern for our healthful well being, it is a tough battle to make healthful choices. But we fortunately ARE STILL ABLE TO MAKE CHOICES, and we should try to make HEALTHFUL ONES. That said, we do hope the Obama administration will do something about the proliferation of these chains.
Also, we feel strongly that the CURE FOR CANCER that President Obama touched on will ultimately have a great deal to do with PREVENTION. Of course, not all disease is "preventable," but a lot are. We encourage you all to please consider seriously to make healthful and PERMANENT changes in your lifestyle, and feel better and be a more productive person for it.
Well, just a thought anyway. We pray for the best of health and vitality in mind, body and spirit to all of you as we all endeavor to do the difficult work ahead of us in these most difficult of times. We pray for the good health of our President as well, and for his family and administration, and may God Almighty bless them and guide them to help this country and this planet move in the right direction. In the name of Jesus the Christ we pray, amen. Love from Jason and Linda Izumi from Kona, Hawaii.
