FW: Update on Maya

 

Day 29.  

 

I know it's has been a while.    Maya was moved from room 1(very sick babies) to room 3 last Wednesday.   Yesterday she was moved to room 4.     She should be weened off the morphine by the end of the week.    She was suppose to be weened off of it Sunday, but she was still experiencing withdrawal symptoms.  So the Dr as stretched out the last 20% to Friday or Saturday and gradually increasing the time between doses.    When that is done, Selina will be required to spend 3 nights in the NICU ward with the baby in the room with her.   If those 3 nights goes well, Maya will come home just in time for Mother's Day. 

 

Attached are some more recent pictuures showing a vast improvement. 

 

Feel free to pass this along to others.

 

 

I'm saved (Eph 2:5-8), being saved (1 Cor 1:8), and hope I'll be saved (1 Cor 3:12-15).

I''m working out my salvation in fear (Phi 2:12), with hopeful confidence in Christ (Rom 5:2).

Fight Here or Fight There?

King George has said: Fight the war on terror there or fight the war on terror here.

I say fight it here. At least the number of military deaths attributed to ambushes and suicide bombers will be a fraction of what they are there.

138,000 troops in Iraq.

Monthly Cost of the War In Iraq? 8 billion dollars
Cost to build a barrier wall across the US/Mexico border? 8 billion dollars.

2600 have died. That makes rounded down value of 2 soldiers a day die since the evasion.

Currently a minimum of 40,671 civilians have died in Iraq with a possible 45,227 have died. Using the lower number that rounded down is 33 civilians a day die. Is that acceptable?

Brings the troops home. Put Americans to work building this barrier.

Let's save some lives. Let's save some money.

How many people do you need to watch the border if you place 2 persons at 1 mile intervals around the clock?

1951 times 6 people = 11,706.

Bases on the average annual salary 40,000 a year yields a 40 million a month payout compared to the 8 billion a month we are paying out now a month in Iraq.

You do the math. It makes a lot more common sense to defend from home then from overseas.

Good bye Pluto

Hubble took this image of Pluto and its moon.

Leading astronomers have declared that Pluto is no longer a planet, approving new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight. The International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930.

Imagine all of the new science textbooks that schools are going to have to buy. What a great money making scheme. Wish I had thought of it.....

I'll let the picture speak for itself.

Congratulations

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms.........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were nolawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO DEAL

WITH IT ALL!

And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.

and while you are at it, share it with your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

KJV

The issue I brought up about the King James Version vs Homosexual Version?

There are certain sects out there that believe that the KJV is only true Bible. All others are corrupt. We call these types of people KJVOs.
King James Version Only.

These types are also very homophobic.

And since the KJV was commissioned and named after a Closet Homosexual then these of this type should also be KJVphobic as well.

Also these types as well are Catholicphobic as well. King Jame's wife after his death converted to Catholicism.

It's just a twist of irony to me.

King James Version = Homosexual Version

How many folks know that King James (who commissioned the King James Bible and to whom it was dedicated) loved men and had sex with them? At the age of thirteen James fell madly in love with his male cousin Esme Stuart whom he made Duke of Lennox. James deferred to Esme to the consternation of his ministers. In 1582 James was kidnapped and forced to issue a proclamation against his lover and send him back to France.

Later, James fell in love with a poor young Scotsman named Robert Carr. "The king leans on his [Carr's] arm, pinches his cheeks, smooths his ruffled garment, and when he looks upon Carr, directs his speech to others." (Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk, in a letter, 1611)

Carr eventually ended the relationship after which the king expressed his dissatisfaction in a letter to Carr, "I leave out of this reckoning your long creeping back and withdrawing yourself from lying in my chamber, notwithstanding my many hundred times earnest soliciting you to the contrary...Remember that (since I am king) all your being, except your breathing and soul, is from me." (See The Letters of King James I & VI, ed., G. P. V. Akrigg, Univ. of Calif. Press, 1984. Also see Royal Family, Royal Lovers: King James of England and Scotland, David M. Bergeron, Univ. of Missouri Press, 1991)- Skip Church

King James' favorite male lovers were the Earl of Somerset and the Duke of Buckingham.- Ben Edward Akerly, The X-rated Bible
James's sexual orientation was so widely known that Sir Walter Raleigh joked about it in public saying "King Elizabeth" had been succeeded by "Queen James."- Catherine D. Bowen, The Lion and the Throne

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

King James 1 was a known homosexual who murdered his young lovers and victimized countless heretics and women. His cruelty was justified by his "divine right" of kings.- Otto J. Scott, James the First

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although the title page of The King James Bible boasted that it was "newly translated out of the original tongues," the work was actually a revision of The Bishop's Bible of 1568, which was a revision of The Great Bible of 1539, which was itself based on three previous English translations from the early 1500s. So, the men who produced the King James Bible not only inherited some of the errors made by previous English translators, but invented some of their own.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Desiderius Erasmus was a "Christian humanist" who collected Greek (and Latin) New Testament manuscripts and compared and edited them, verse by verse, selecting what he considered to be the best variant passages, until he had compiled what came to be known as the "textus receptus." Early English translations of the Bible, like those mentioned above, were based on his "textus receptus." Erasmus was also a monk whom some historians believe engaged in homosexual activities.

But without both King James and Erasmus, the most widely touted Bible in Christian history would never have been produced, the KJV (or shall we say, Gay-JV?) Bible.- Skip Church

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A physical weakling, as an adolescent James had shown himself to be a coward, who liked only to hunt, to read (which he did, prodigiously) and to talk. To protect himself he wore thick quilted doublets, so padded that they provided a kind of armor against any assassin who might attack him with a knife. When he revealed a sexual preference for men, falling in love with his cousin Esmé Stewart and elevating him to a position of authority on the royal council, some of his nobles kidnapped James and held him captive, banishing Stewart and controlling James's every move. After nearly a year James escaped, but continued to resent his jailers; after he began to rule on his own behalf, at seventeen, he made it a priority to bring the turbulent Scots nobles under control.
As he aged James indulged his preference for handsome men, living apart from his wife. His doting fondness was part paternal, part erotic; he called his favorite George Villiers "sweet child and wife" and referred to himself as "your dear dad and husband." But to his courtiers, the sight of the aging, paunchy, balding monarch, who according to one court observer had a tendency to drool, leaning on his paramours was utterly repellant.
The first of the king's minions was Robert Carr, Groom of the Bedchamber, who the king elevated to earl of Somerset and appointed Lord Chamberlain. After six years of favors and royal gifts Carr was brought low, accused of murder and sent away from court. The second and greatest royal favorite, the extraordinarily handsome George Villiers, rose from cupbearer to Gentleman of the Bedchamber and ultimately to Earl of Buckingham.
"I love the Earl of Buckingham more than anyone else," James announced to his councilors, "and more than you who are here assembled." He compared his love for the earl to Jesus's affection for the "beloved disciple" John. "Jesus Christ did the same," the king said, "and therefore I cannot be blamed. Christ had his John, and I have my George."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

With such pronouncements King James seemed to reach a new level of outrage, especially when he compounded his offense, in the view of many, by heaping Buckingham with costly jewels, lands, and lucrative offices.
