As you know, a woman from my church, Gale, who has cancer, who has 11 children, recently had a C-Section, giving birth to her 11th child, 2 lbs. 10 ozs. Andrew. Gale's cancer has spread. Please continue to pray for Gale, her husband Ed, and their children. +++ Kelly McGinley's sister, Vicky, who has been battling liver and lung cancer, went home to be with the Lord this evening [Wednesday, May 05, 2004]. Please pray for Kelly and her family as they grief the loss of Vicky who was only 46 years old. The last few days were extremely painful for Vicky and for loved ones to see her suffer. She is with the Lord now and is in no more pain. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

OnlineArchive.org Use Permission Received Tiny hero wakes, asks for Dad Matthew Denholm 11may04 THE pint-sized hero who saved his father after a quad bike smash opened his eyes in intensive care yesterday and asked: "Where's Dad?" Tyler Moon, 7, overcame searing pain from nine broken ribs to trudge 2km over rough terrain to raise the alarm after dad David collapsed with life-threatening injuries. Tyler, described by mates as "heaps tough", is in line for a bravery award. Hero: Tyler Moon. But when he woke in Sydney Children's Hospital after emergency treatment yesterday, his first thoughts were for Dad. Mum Gail, 37, said yesterday: "The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was 'Where's Dad? I want to see Dad'. "Tyler has always been a hero in my eyes; now he's a hero in everyone's. "If it wasn't for Tyler coming and notifying me that his Dad needed help, I wouldn't have either of them here today." Tyler made his amazing walk after he and his father, 39, were thrown from their quad bike on Saturday morning. Despite pain from his broken ribs and damaged lungs, he walked 30 minutes to raise the alarm. When Tyler got home, he told his mother: "Daddy needs an ambulance" before collapsing and being taken by helicopter to hospital. His condition in intensive care was described last night as stable. Mr Moon was flown to the neighbouring Prince of Wales Hospital, where he was also stable with serious internal injuries. His sister, Meleesa Bartlett, said yesterday he had lost his spleen and part of his liver in operations. The family said Tyler and David were inseparable, especially when riding quad bikes on their 3ha property near Milton, on the south coast.

OnlineArchive.org Use Permission Received Bible as 'Hate Literature' Just Around the Corner in Canada? http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/5/32004b.asp By Fred Jackson and Jody Brown May 3, 2004 (AgapePress) - Evangelical Christians in Canada fear it's just a matter of time now before pastors there are charged for preaching that homosexuality is sinful. By a vote of 55-11, Canada's Senate last week gave final approval to Bill C-250, adding "sexual orientation" to the country's hate crimes law. It means comments made against homosexuality can now be considered as violations of the criminal code. Brian Wilkie of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada tells Mission Network News that the legislation may deter Christians and their ministers from addressing issues of sexual morality. "With these new provisions, which include not only what somebody says about an issue to incite hatred, but also include provisions to seize literature that was used in the promotion of hatred, we have had a very strong concern that the Bible might become guilty by association," he says. And despite the fact the law supposedly contains an exemption for religious-based objection to the homosexual lifestyle, Wilkie notes that groups with judicial authority have already shown their bias. "And in fact at one point, a human rights commission did judge portions of scripture to actually promote hatred against homosexuals," the evangelical leader says. Still Wilkie is praying that Canadian Christians will continue to preach the whole counsel of God. A representative with Focus on the Family Canada says passage of C-250 represents a significant loss of free speech for Canadians. Derek Rogusky says the bill was pushed through Parliament with little public consultation. "It's unfortunate that both Senators and [Members of Parliament] rejected the concerns of thousands of Canadians, and ignored the huge flood of correspondence they received about this bill," Rogusky stated following the bill's passage. "Canadians are now stuck with this poorly-worded legislation -- and it's left to the courts to define what is and what isn't hate propaganda." Rogusky says acts of violence against anyone clearly are wrong, but that existing laws already cover those actions -- and C-250 does not improve the situation. +++ USA Hate Crime Laws Are Christian Persecution Lying In Wait! Pennsylvania Hate Crime Law - Silent Trap For Pastors! Click Here: http://fp.users.fast.net/InfoQuest/hate_crime_bill.htm +++ Video! http://fp.users.fast.net/InfoQuest/hate_crime_bill.htm#Video "Hate crimes" legislation, or "anti-hate laws" now becoming government policy in European countries, Canada, and the US is touted as a sincere effort to end bias motivated violent crime and prejudice against minorities. In reality, such "hate crimes" laws, when put into practice in countries such as Canada, only end free speech. Freedom of criticism and expression are stifled, and censorship comes to be accepted as normal. The National Prayer Network is the only resource center in America educating the public on the danger of “hate crimes” legislation. Today, 49 states have passed some type of "hate crimes" laws. Such local laws threaten free speech, and must be repealed. ==================== ==================== (4) Hardy Har Har!

At least we have this joke. For now, it's all we have. Thanks to IQ* Family Member Al Z. for forwarding this joke! [Joke edited for relevance.] A Saudi Arabian diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and dined by the State Department. The diplomat was not used to the salt in American foods (French fries, cheeses, salami, anchovies, etc.) and was constantly sending his manservant Abdul to fetch him a glass of water. > > Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water, but then came the time when he returned empty handed. "Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water?" demanded the diplomat. > > "A thousand pardons, O Illustrious One," stammered Abdul, "A man is sitting on the well!" > > Have a Great Day God Bless America ==================== ==================== (5) How to Get Your Message Heard by The Media!
