December 25, 2003 journal, it is Christmas Day world over, code orange alert, mad cow. The true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ on earth as hope for all of the world. I grew up in the Protestant Christian World and this is all I knew until I began to see a challenge to this doctrine later in life I realized that all the world did not celebrate Christmas for some reason. New York people came down South selling Xmas decorations and today they're still counting their paper money on Christmas. I still celebrate Christmas for Christ. They say never try an accused person on Christmas week because you’ll lose. The feeling of generosity and the spirit of giving still has its place in Christmas and even the nonbelievers and commercializers do stop and recognize the holiday and give generous and visit their relatives on Christmas Day. I grew up believing in Santa Claus like most kids do today but by the time I was at the age of accountability I focused my faith on Christ the Lord of my life and when I was 15 years old I sought for and received the great glorious Holy Spirit of God into my life and it made a wonderful difference in everything. The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, as recorded and promised Acts Chapter 2 is great benefit to a Christians life if used properly. Like most things in religion it’s abused often by those who mimic it or market it. What are we doing celebrating Christmas when Christ is out- lawed from our schools and public places. What are we doing celebrating Christ-mas as an official “state " holiday when the Christian Christ is a fugitive or alien in all our LAND? So let the "Christians" keep on playing Santa Claus like Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Do not bother the good people with the truth and let them remain happy in their bonds and with their sickness cellular telling of their operations and coughing ever breath. NBC had on a "professional" urging still to get the flu shot vaccination saying vitamin C does not work, that there is no evidence that it works. It has worked for me having no cold in 25 years of eating one orange per day or one half of grapefruit per day. I drove through the poor countryside where some of my friends live and realized that most people do not get one orange per year and I believe that is why most people are sick. Even if eating oranges was mandatory for all the population it would be much cheaper for this state government to buy and giveaway free than to finance the medical albatross we pay today.

Think about a nation that is well and not sick and the price of cars would be much less if General Motors did not have to pay more for medical insurance on their employees than they do for the steel to build their cars. Think about how happy the people would be if they were free from colds and pneumonia or flu. Think about this nation without need for medicine. Think about a nation without lawyers, one where all are free and happy living together. Think about giving and not saving up for power and fame. I wish we were the nation that we propose to be but I cannot see that we are at all free or any example of what we ought to be. Now the mad cow disease has appeared in Washington State. I see a time when nobody will eat meat or fly on airplanes when the missiles await. They talk about the chatter increase, what does that mean. When they mention a certain town it most likely is a diversionary tactic rather than real. The Arab world surely wants to bring down our economy and that appears to me to be more the judgments of God putting them on us as an evil adversary. "Calling a ravenous bird from a far country to execute my counsel" (judgment). With the earthquake in central California devastating the area and the recent fires, the mounting debt along with all the other problems of the nation that is in crisis. Just print and throw money at it hoping everything will be alright without removing the rotten apple that infestates the barrel. Wake-up America to the truth of the living God.
