5 Minutes to Midnight

In 1987 while I was living in Bradenton Florida, I had a vision that I should start investigating Master Numbers. Over the course of about 30 days a system evolved that I entitled. "The Master Lotto System" (making order out of random). I used this system for a short period of time to select numbers for the Florida Lottery. On one particular day everything lined up in exact order, I placed my bet and won over 1-thousand dollars. I later moved to Maine and tried using the same system there without success. To this day I believe that lotto number selection is somehow tied to the GPS location of the drawing as well as other influences of our solar system. I have no doubt that there is order in everything. We might see it as random and we might believe that it is chance but I believe there is no chance, there is no luck. The choices we make in our everyday lifes are influenced by some higher order.

5 Minutes to Midnight

Armageddon - What might happen on December 21, 2012? What do the world's major religions say about the end of the world? Is Armageddon going to happen?

The Mayans, Nostradamus, The Bible, and other sources all claim the world will end in armageddon. Will it?

The Masons have been linked to many of history's greatest movements, but what do they think of the 2012 debate?

The history channel recently aired a very interesting program about the possibility of what could happen on or near December 12 2012. http://www.history.com/shows/armageddon/

Pastor Hagee a TV minister has been exploring the meaning of old testament scripture using numerology to predict the end of time.

Certainly we are living in an important era of change. Should we be concerned about what choices we make between now and December 21, 2012. Should we prepare for the collapse of the monetary system. Should we start coverting our paper dollars into silver and gold. Should we postpone major events like buying a house, going to school, getting married, traveling abroad, et cetra.

The countdown has started http://www.december212012.com/ what will we do with the days before 12/21/2012?

Will Christians soon become a minority in America? There are signs everywhere that people don't want GOD in their lives. As you look at people on the street tattoos, and body piercing are everywhere. I can't imagine this is because they love the Lord with All Their Heart.

Billboards are asking if you can do without GOD in your life? And then saying Millions Do! Muslim Mosque's are everywhere in America. Hate and racial violence are common place. When Obama ran for President he ran on the ticket of change. Everybody wanted change - they never asked what the change would be.

"In God We Trust" has been removed from the front of the new dollar coin and has been placed on the edge. How is that significant? The people of the world are living in a era of rebellion. Crisis is everywhere. The earth is rumbling and crumbling. How we you survive? If the time comes to choose between being a servant of your Government or being a Child of God, which will you choose?

The time is coming my friends. The time is at hand.

Now is the time choose between GOD and GOVERNMENT.

Which Choice Will You Make?

Principles of Wisdom

When a culture can measure its history in millennia rather than in centuries, there are sure to be very strong traditions which underlie the stability of the culture and act as binding forces to keep the minds and hearts of the people together. When traditions produce excellence over countless generations, a great deal of confidence develops in the people who are a part of that culture. This is because the traditions continually benefit the people who are part of that culture. When something is seen to bring harm to a culture, it is identified and rejected. Obviously, when a culture has survived and flourished for thousands of years, it arrives at many points of wisdom which it would not sacrifice at any cost. There are traditional principles for ruling, farming, healing, raising families, and resolving disputes. Although these traditions constantly undergo examination and evolution, the underlying principles rarely change. When a set of underlying principles is kept intact despite the evolution of a tradition, it is because they have been recognized to contain wisdom. Ancient traditions preserve essential principles which enable a culture to evolve along pathways that are marked and shepherded by principles of wisdom.

While America is a very young country compared to say China, I believe our past culture is being threatened by Obama's new Progressive Movement. This movement is a threat to our founding fathers original design for America. I am not comfortable with this new Progressive Movement because it threatens the traditions of America's Foundation.

Degree(s). The type of degree or number of degrees a professional has attained indicates their exposure to academic education, their ability to assimilate that body of knowledge and their ability to perform successfully in an academic or research setting. A degree in respiratory therapy is not by itself a good indicator of professional skill, competence or compassion.

License(s). Having a license is the first indicator that a professional has demonstrated competence to practice. The fact that a person has a license does not mean the professional is truly competent. It does mean they met the required educational and training requirements, passed a licensing examination, have met the necessary supervision requirement for licensure, and that they are meeting the required continuing education requirements.

Affiliation(s). Affiliations reflect what organizations or institutes a professional has joined or
is involved with. Affiliations alone are not good indictors of professional competence, but can
help you to identify those professionals who support and participate in activities that demonstrate their professional interests.

Background & Experience. Knowing where a professional has worked, their background and their experience can help you understand their skills and what talents they bring as a practitioner. In general, the more rich a professional's background the greater will be his or her ability to recognize a range of problems and potential solutions. Dealing with complex problems, especially crises and emergencies, usually requires the involvement of professionals with credible experience in these areas.

A true Practitioner continues to be involved in their profession outside of their normal working hours. They are committed to their profession. They are continually striving to gain more knowledge and keeping up with current trends. They are actively involved in their professional organization.

A respiratory therapist who is licensed as a practitioner but lacks motivation to advance is like a stagnating pool of water. Only doing what is minimally required to keep their license active is not acceptable in today’s world of ever changing health care.
