“Permit them to Come Unto Me”

Nobody’s Opinion

It’s Christmas Eve, and this is not the day to talk about politics, it’s a day to tell the ones we love, just HOW much they mean to us…to go to a church, even if you usually don’t, and to think of Jesus, and his teachings…whether you think he was the son of God or not.

I’m taking  today and tomorrow off…Of COURSE! Like everyone…I can’t wait to spend time with my little family.

You know, I think God wanted me to post this little poem: I am in the process of doing an inventory of all my books, and I came upon this poem just by sheer accident today. It made me think of all the babies that have died before their time, (like the ones in Newtown, and my dear friend Doug Powers who lost his own dear angel so long ago) and all the parent’s who love their children, how their love never dies.

It also is a great example for men…Jesus picks up the child and puts them on his lap. As amfortas has told us, nowadays a man, who is not the father of a young child, would probably be ostracized harshly for putting a child on his lap, unless he was pretending to be Santa Claus.

But the main reason I love this poem, is it shows the REAL point of Christ: The mother took her “heavy heart” and it was lifted. And so, this is the true miracle of faith. If you have faith in a power higher than yourself, life, and it’s hardships, are much easier to bear. Really, it’s a no-brainer.

So, Nobody Says—May You all have a Merry Christmas! God bless us all…and Tiny Tim too!

Christ and the Little Ones

“The Master has come over Jordan.” Said Hannah the mother one day:

“He is healing the people who throng Him, with a touch of His finger they say.

“And now I shall carry the children, Little Rachel and Samuel and John,

I shall carry the baby Esther, For the Lord to look upon.”

The father looked at her kindly, but he shook his head and smiled:

“Now who but a doting mother would think of a thing so wild?”

“If the children were tortured by demons, or dying of fever, ’twere well:

Or had they the taint of the leper, like many in Israel.”

“Nay, do not hinder me, Nathan, I feel such a burden of care; If I carry it to the Master,

Perhaps I shall leave it there.

“If He lay His hand on the children, my heart will be lighter, I know.

For a blessing for ever and ever, will follow them as they go.”

So over the hills of Judah, Along by the vine rows green,

With Esther asleep on on her bosom, and Rachel her brothers between:

‘Mid the people who hung on HIs teaching, or waited His touch and His word,

Through the row of proud Pharisees listening she pressed to the feet of the Lord.

“Now why shouldst thou hinder the Master,” Said Peter, “with children like these?”

Seest not how from morning to evening He teacheth and healeth disease?”

Then Christ said “Forbid not the children, permit them to come unto me!”

And HE took in HIs arms little Esther, and Rachel He sat on His knee:

And the heavy heart of the mother was lifted all earth care above,

as HE laid His hand on the brothers, and blest them with holiest love.

As He said of the babes in His bosom, “Of such are the Kingdom of Heaven”–

And strength for all duty, and trial that hour to her spirit was given.

Nobody’s Email: The Story of Rudolph

Who made up the story of Rudolp the Rednose Raindeer? This story…about making a miracle out of hardship, is worth the read. (And I have NO idea if it’s true or not: I just like it. )

ENJOY!

(Thanks to Pattie)

*****

A man named Bob May, depressed and brokenhearted, stared out his drafty apartment window into the chilling December night.
His 4-year-old daughter Barbara sat on his lap quietly sobbing. Bob’s wife, Evelyn, was dying of cancer.
Little Barbara couldn’t understand why her mommy could never come home. Barbara looked up into her dad’s eyes and asked, “Why isn’t Mommy just like everybody else’s Mommy?”

 *****

Bob’s jaw tightened and his eyes welled with tears. Her question brought waves of grief, but also of anger.

 *****

It had been the story of Bob’s life. Life always had to be different for Bob. Small when he was a kid, Bob was often bullied by other boys. He was too little at the time to compete in sports. He was often called names he’d rather not remember. From childhood, Bob was different and never seemed to fit in.

 *****

Bob did complete college, married his loving wife and was grateful to get his job as a copywriter at MontgomeryWards during the Great Depression.

 *****

Then he was blessed with his little girl. But it was all short-lived. Evelyn’s bout with cancer stripped them of all their savings and now Bob and his daughter were forced to live in a two-room apartment in the Chicago slums. Evelyn died just days before Christmas in 1938.
*****

Bob struggled to give hope to his child, for whom he couldn’t even afford to buy a Christmas gift. But if he couldn’t buy a gift, he was determined to make one – a storybook!

 *****

Bob had created an animal character in his own mind and told the animal’s story to little Barbara to give her comfort and hope. Again and again Bob told the story,embellishing it more with each telling.

 *****

Who was the character? What was the story all about?

 *****

The story Bob May created was his own autobiography in fable form. The character he created was a misfit outcast like he was. The name of the character? A little reindeer named Rudolph, with a big shiny nose.

 *****

Bob finished the book just in time to give it to his little girl on Christmas Day.

 *****

But the story doesn’t end there. The general manager of Montgomery Ward caught wind of the little storybook and offered Bob May a nominal fee to purchase the rights to print the book.

 *****

Wards went on to print,“Rudolph, the Red-NosedReindeer” and distribute it to children visiting Santa Claus in their stores.

 *****

By 1946 Wards had printed and distributed more than six million copies of Rudolph. That same year, a major publisher wanted to purchase the rights from Wards to print an updated version of the book. In an unprecedented gesture of kindness, the CEO of Wards returned all rights back to Bob May.

 *****

The book became a best seller. Many toy and marketing deals followed and Bob May, now remarried with agrowing family, became wealthy from the story he created to comfort his grieving daughter. But the story doesn’t end there either.
*****

Bob’s brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, made a song adaptation to Rudolph. Though the song was turned down by such popular vocalists as Bing Crosby and DinahShore , it was recorded by the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was released in 1949 and became a phenomenal success, selling more records than any other Christmas song, with the exception of “White Christmas.”

The gift of love that Bob May created for his daughter so long ago kept on returning back to bless him again and again. And Bob May learned the lesson, just like his dear friend Rudolph, that being different isn’t so bad. In fact, being different can be a blessing.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I got this video from my liberal friend, who I met at my local library about five years ago. We both were taking a class in EXCEL, and became fast friends because, when it came to computers, we both we in wonderment…like little kids.

We STILL hold that same childlike attitude about many things. Anyway, when he sent me this video he said, “How do they think up these things?”

That’s my bud. JR is in his 70′s, and yet, still holds his love of learning, and that’s one of the reasons we get along. While our politics are completely opposite, neither one of us has ever gotten mad at our opinions.

Hatred, gets you…nowhere.

White House Theme: We’re Spending LOADS of Your Money for our Holiday!

Nobody Wonders

Why would anyone put up 58 Christmas trees in the White House, and then…go to Hawaii and not even look at them? Is this a record for Christmas trees in the White House? And is that the biggest gingerbread house ever made?

While the country is about to be forced into a major depression, Obama and Mochelle seem to think nothing of spending another $4 billion on a three-week vacation (at our expense) in Hawaii…and that’s not counting the REAL cost. So…tell me—Why do they need 54 Christmas trees at the White House? Oh wait, they are called “Holiday” trees…right.

Oh..and just to make us all feel good about the fact that they ACT LIKE KINGS! They have announced that this year’s theme is JOY TO US! I mean…’Joy to All’

This year's theme is Joy to All.

(Translation: Have fun now folks, because in a few months, the joy will be gone.)

It celebrates the many joys of the holiday seasons, the joy of giving and service to others, the joy of sharing our blessings with one another and of course, the joy of welcoming our friends and families as guests into our homes over these next several weeks.

(“Service to others? Gee…how about doing  us all a big service and don’t tax us to death. Nobody’s sure, as soon as you get back from Hawaii, those 58 “holiday” trees will be chump change compared to the elaborate parties you are going to throw for your second inauguration. You want us to hate the rich? Well, you’re helping that theme right along.)

We've also continued the tradition of decorating trees throughout the House. We have 54 trees in the White House. 54! That's a lot of trees.

(Wow..Michelle…can count. Who knew? Let’s all send copies of our household expenses to Michelle….and ask her to count it all up. Maybe she can learn how to balance a budget, now that she can actually count. )

We have found some wonderful ways to pay tribute to your service and sacrifice as an important part of our holiday decorating efforts here at the White House. And it starts, as you all have seen, the minute visitors walk through the White House for their tours, the first thing they see, the very first tree they see, honors our men and women in uniform for the extraordinary sacrifice they and their families have made. And thanks to several of you here today, I know that this tree is now decorated with special gold star ornaments bearing the names of some of America's greatest heroes, those who gave their lives for our country.

(Service and sacrifice–translation: You WILL sacrifice everything, because we are going to take it from you. )

We are also honoring our military families with some very special decorations on the official White House Christmas tree that's in the Blue Room. That's the biggest tree in the house. It's huge, stands close to 19 feet tall, it is one of my favorite trees. This very special "Joining Forces" tree is covered with hand-decorated ornaments made by military children living in U.S. bases around the world.

(Oh…give the BIG tree to the vets because THEY didn’t get to vote. How generous of you. Many of the ones losing their jobs and benefits can now go and see their “joining forces” tree and feel better. Good thing you won’t be there.–smart. )

And of course, keeping with past holiday traditions, we have our annual White House Gingerbread House. Yeah, have you guys seen that yet? A White House holiday staple since the 1960s, this year's house weighs nearly 300 pounds so it's a pretty big house, and its walls are made to resemble granite, so he did some kind of technique to make it look like real granite. And it even includes chandeliers that light up. It glows.

(Come on Michelle,…put 58 Christmas trees in that GINGERBREAD House, and really make it glow. Wait…those are “holiday trees.” A gingerbread house that looks like concrete? Wow–very fitting. I would like to shake the hand of the artist.)

So..if you are wondering why anyone who had the privileged of spending Christmas at the White House with 58 beautiful trees..why in the world, would they want to leave?

Because.—-.as Obama once so very gallantly said: You can put red lipstick on a pig…but it’s…still a pig.

Do you honestly think a Muslim wants to spend Christmas anywhere?

Nah.

Schwarzenegger: The New Goebbels

Nobody’s Opinion

“Scientific socialism” would hold especial attraction for intellectuals by promising to replace spontaneous and messy life with a rational order of which they would be the interpreters and mentors.–Richard Pipes

                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Sorry. I have been in the land of Hallmark’s Christmas, “Santa makes all your dreams come true” marathon all day yesterday. My husband had a nasty cold, so we watched 4 Hallmark movies in a row— in bed. In fact, we only stopped between movies to eat,  and then jumped right back under the covers again.  What’s endearing about my husband is that he keeps the Kleenex box on his side of the bed, and I have always wondered how in the world he knows when to hand me one. He just does. He doesn’t even look at me, he just reaches over, grabs one, and hands it to me at the perfect moment: You know, at the big ending where everyone that was fighting makes up, and Santa Clause finds his way home, and the orphan kids get a meal, and they find the lost puppy, and well…these movies are all about family, love, and doing what’s right. There are not too many “gay” love stories in them…yet. Most of the Hallmark Movies are in the traditional Christmas spirit.

And darn it…Where else can you get that kind of entertainment anymore? In the last ten years, Hollywood has been promoting its social messages in every sitcom, movie, and song. They’ve been cramming them down our throats. In other words, we are being socially engineered by some of the most brilliant minds on the planet, to accept all their future goals for the masses.

And now, “Professor” Arnold Schwarzenegger has been put in charge of a special school, where these new propaganda artists will be trained to …as he puts it, “educate” the masses. Film, art, and government will become one entity, much as in old Germany. An institute to train future artists to continue…globalization.

He held a panel at the school on C-Span today, which consisted of Ron Meyer, President of Universal Studios, Brain Grazer of Imagine Entertainment (Apollo 13) Rob Friedman, Co-Chairman of Lionsgate, and Jimmy Iovine, record producer of Bruce Springsteen among others.

The giants.

Arnold said very bluntly that his institute was there to bring students and world leaders together to “educate, inform, and change attitudes.”

And these men were obviously proud of the social issues they had educated us on. They were all very proud of Brokeback Mountain for instance. What was very clear is how seriously these men took what they perceived to the social issues of the day. EVERYONE in America needed to be trained, educated, and taught how to think and act…and they knew how to get that message across.

The issues? Name every liberal issue you can think of…we’re going to see more of it: climate change, global warming, women empowerment, end of life issues (euthanasia) eating healthy, immigration, race,  etc….

In other words..Marxist propaganda all wrapped up in big smile— like only Arnold can deliver.

Yes, right there in Southern California, Arnold’s propaganda ministry will be training future propagandists for the global government.

Just look at who’s on the board: This is from Arnold’s website—

The new institute’s bipartisan Board of Advisors includes international leaders in business, public service and education. Initial members include Henry Cisneros, who as San Antonio’s mayor became the first Hispanic-American mayor of a major U.S. city and was appointed by President Bill Clinton as secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; Vicente Fox, who served as president of Mexico from 2000 to 2006; Rajendra Kumar Pachauri, chair of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; George Shultz, economist and statesman who served as U.S. Secretary of State from 1982 to 1989; Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann; and Kandeh K. Yumkella, director-general of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.

Guiding principles include: science and evidence must play an important role when finding solutions to policy and social issues; local solutions are often the best means to solve global problems; and future leaders, including students and young people, must help shape the solutions for our future

The USC Price School of Public Policy, established in 1929, is one of the premier schools of its kind in the nation. Through a time-honored commitment to public service, a legacy of strong connections to professional leaders and a world-renowned research portfolio, the school’s faculty, students and alumni work to improve the quality of life for people and their communities worldwide. The USC Price School of Public Policy is at the forefront of research and teaching on today’s major issues, including: housing and real estate markets, environmental sustainability, health care, economic development, transportation and infrastructure, governance and leadership, nonprofits and philanthropy, civic engagement, immigration and the impact of terrorism

Gee…sounds like you, dear poor pathetic uneducated citizen won’t have too much to say about any of this…but you can be sure they will try to ‘entertain’ you while you’re being brainwashed.

And Arnold may be a registered Republican, but like New York Mayor Bloomberg, there’s not a thing conservative about the man.

On September 27, 2006 Schwarzenegger signed a bill creating the nation’s first cap on greenhouse gas emissions.  He left California with a record high deficit, and worked with the Chinese Government to build a bridge there.

The politicians and Hollywood are practically united. This instituted will seal the final deal…and Nobody is more afraid than me, that these old Hallmark Christmas movies will someday stop, because they offend our Muslims citizens.

I did notice they are keeping a lot of the old Christmas songs out of them….even this year.

So…Arnold has a new job. He is now the New American Goebbels.  His father, would be proud.

Nobody Thinks I’m going to miss those old Hallmark Christmas moves…someday. Where else can you find so many happy endings? With all these morons taking control of our lives and taking away our religion, our free speech, our jobs, our dreams and Christmas wishes….happy endings are getting harder to come by…

Pass the Kleenex.

Nobody Says, “MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Nobody Flashes

I’m sorry I missed today’s post..I was making a holiday music video of myself singing Christmas songs to send out to friends..and as usual, had technical difficulties. My one synthesizer wouldn’t “talk” to my other synthesizer, and then, my candle kept getting wax on my keyboard, (I know, I get into the establishing the”mood”) …not to mention, I had to put a palm tree in the backgroud…aaaaaaaaaaaah..you had to have been there.

Works of art take great time. (LOL!) And NO, I’m not going to post it. By the time I finished editing, cutting, doing take after take..it was midnight. There you, so I’m posting this Christmas video because it reminds me of John Lennon.

Why am I thinking of John Lennon? Today, my American Eskimo, somehow jumped up on the couch and grabbed my Beatles Doll Collection (worth $400.) and ran. She  took John, and chewed his guitar off. She did this because, just like a kid, I wasn’t paying attention to her…so I didn’t see it till it was too late. (She’s Zippy, the white one on the right.)

Oh well. It’s NOT like I was going to sell them. That would be…unthinkable.

Anyway, the next two days, we are ALL going to be with our families. And have you noticed? The cable networks are FILLED with Christmas movies! It’s great..I watched Albert Finney’s Scrooge tonight and it was a musical. It was the first time I ever saw it and I was singing…(Thank you very much) while walking my dogs around the block afterwards. For those of you that have seen that movie, you know the song. Alec Guinness was the BEST Marley I’ve ever seen, and Albert did a great job. It’s worth watching if you’ve never seen it.

(If you can find these classics on TV, you can usually find them cheap, online.

Despite the economy, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such Christmas spirit around my neighborhood…how bout you? Let’s hope it lingers.

…MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

And I’ll see you on Monday!

Nobody Needs Photoshop Welfare

Nobody Cares

America bailed out Europe today, with the spin “Hey…We have to bail them out or we will go down!” The stock market soared, and like the Nobody that I am, it really meant nothing to me, so I went out and raked leaves.

I have a LOT of leaves. I’m considering asking my trees to switch their diet. I’d set my lawn on fire, and get rid of them all at once,  but I think that’s illegal.

Nevertheless, Nobody searches hard now for the good-news nuggests, and I found this great video of Donald Trump, dishing Obama for coming to New York on the same night that the Rockefeller Center turns on its Christmas tree lights. If you have never experienced a “President” coming into your city, you should move to Russia. Wait…no..you don’t have to move. Here in the United States they have to shut down whole city blocks, subways, and highways..for hours…just so Genghis Obama can make his lordy way to his fund-raisers. They hardly EVER mentioned this fact on TV, which is again, why I wish Donald would run for President, because he mentioned it.

He mentions a lot of stuff that this Nobody likes.

Tonight, the Rockefeller Christamas Special on NBC was a perfect example of how you didn’t see any of whatever trouble in traffic that Obama caused.  All 900 teenage girls were in front, to see the Beaver (sorry he looks like a small beaver to me, he needs a Wally) and the Kicking Rockets (okay, so that’s not their real name)  looked perfect and…Coral King can’t sing anymore, but Neil Diamond still can, and Tony Bennett is the only singer in the world that can smile and hold a loooooog note…and not break his smile. And I simply don’t know how he does it.

It’s like it’s cemented on his face like that butt-lady who has cement in her cheeks. Maybe he dabs a little super-glue in his cheeks. Something.

Anyway, this leads me to point. Nobody wants to assure all the women out there, who are tired of looking at beautiful women in perfume adds, videos, clothes commercials, angels of fluff in scanty Santa outfits, that, while you are searching you memory for one girl that you ever saw that never had one pimple on her face…

THESE GIRLS ARE NOT REAL! Why do I say that? They have help. They have been airbrished, polished, computerized…need I say more? And what about us nobodies?

I say we need Photoshop Welfare. Forget food stamps.

Now, in case you doubt me, here’s a video that I wish I had never seen…because now when I watch TV I’m thinking..”He’s NOT in that plane, they are NOT in that car, that is NOT New York City…that is the young Mariah Carey  in that old rehashed Christmas video with Justin Beiver, Obama is just an actor from Kenya, not really our President, and that girl doesn’t even have pores! “

It sort of spoils some of the “I’m escaping from the fallen dollar, and lack of photoshop mode”... you know what I mean?

I’d say ENJOY this next video, but if you think that ignorance is bliss…..don’t watch it.

Whites House Bans “Christmas” Trees…

Nobody Gets Email

This email seems perfect for this weekend and I’ll tell you why at the end. It’s about Christmas at the White House. Read what Michelle Obama said last year when it came to picking ornaments for the tree.

“Our starting point was a very simple idea,” she said. “That we include people in as many places, in as many ways as we can. We took about 800 ornaments left over from the previous administrations. We sent them to 60 local community groups throughout the country and asked them to decorate them, paying tribute to a favorite local landmark, and then send them back to us for display here at the White House.”

This year, a letter was sent out to all the people who usually donate and make ornaments. Here’s the email:

***************

The Obama’s will not do Christmas. Thought you might be interested in this information from the White House.. This isn’t a rumor; this is a fact. 

A very talented artist for several years has painted ornaments to be hung on the various White House Christmas trees. The WH sends out an invitation to send an ornament and informs the artists of the theme for the year. 

She got her letter from the WH recently. It said that they would not be called Christmas trees this year. They will be called Holiday trees.. And, to please not send any ornaments painted with a religious theme. She was very upset at this development and sent back a reply telling them that she painted the ornaments for Christmas trees and would not be sending any for display that left Christ out of Christmas.

Just thought you should know what the new residents in the WH plan for the future of America . If you missed his statement that “we do not consider  ourselves a Christian Nation” this should confirm that he plans to take us away from our religious foundation as quickly as possible.            

Just another step toward turning America away from Christianity! We should shout to the highest hills that the White House is ours– not the Obama’s, and 85% of Americans believe in Christ (Christmas).

******

While many of us might not think this is important..remember that in 2010, an ornament with Mao’s picture hung on the White House tree, as well as one of a transvestite named Queen Hedda Lettuce, and yet another that shows a picture of Mount Rushmore — with Obama’s head pasted to the side of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt’s.

The White House ornament this year has an environmental lesson about Teddy Roosevelt dressed up as Santa visiting the White House because it has children in it. So…Christmas is just a holiday to give kids presents now. Obama was going to fundamentally CHANGE this country by eliminating our Christian religion.

This Christmas, for the first time in my life I won’t be putting up our big tree. The electric bill soared last year, and so, this year, I have decided to save the money. Does it leave a hole in my gut? You bet.  And yet, it also makes me feel much closer to God, when I read this kind of stuff. After all, the spirit cannot be dimmed, in fact a simple candle will do.

I have a small tree…that will have to suffice. It will make all my Muslim neighbors happy, not seeing my big tree this year and knowing that they have a kindred soul in the White House.

For many years I have seen this event happening. Neighbors who took days of effort putting up lights, giving everyone else a joy…have gone dark. Simply because they can’t afford it anymore. History reminds us that communist countries all over the world persecuted Christians. In order for the state to take control of a people, Christianity must be wiped out of everything, and the Christmas White House tree is a good place to start.

 

Barack Hussein Obama.. is not finished destroying Christmas, is he? With a name like that—Can you blame him?
