Earlier this year WND reported on plans by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to "pave the path for the glorious reappearance of Imam Mahdi," and now confirmed reports from Voice of the Martyrs reveals that the persecution of Christians in Iran is intensifying.
WND reported that Ahmadinejad is urging Iranians to prepare for the coming of the Mahdi by turning the country into a mighty and advanced Islamic society and by avoiding the corruption and excesses of the West. Shiites believe the 12th imam disappeared as a child in the year 941, but when he returns he will reign on earth for seven years, before bringing about a final judgment and the end of the world.
Voice of the Martyrs, which makes available a newsletter providing updates on the persecution of Christians around the world, says in a new report Christians in Iran "are being detained, interrogated and in one case, imprisoned because of their faith in Jesus Christ."

Treasures in Heaven
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
I've been busy summer cleaning, going through all the boys' clothes to find out which ones still fit and which ones are too small. All the ones that are too small for Justin (my youngest) I've put in a trash bag to take it to the Goodwill or Salvation Army. It's been pretty hectic around here. I've decided to post the above verses because it reminded me of how we should be helping those who are less fortunate than we are and there are many young children still out there whos families really need clothes for their children. I've been going through my stuff as well, getting rid of old clothes that I don't wear any more, knowing that someone else could use them too. I ask all who read this to do the same. If you have anything you don't use, can't wear anymore, or don't wear anymore, please take it to your local Goodwill or Salvation Army. God Bless each and every one of you! It is a blessing that we can all pass along to those in need.

Children of Christ
John 10It should make us very happy to know that he has called us unto him and these words tell us exactly where his children will be. In the Kingdom of Heaven. We cannot be plucked from his hand. This is very encouraging to know and Praise God Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ. We must continue in our faith and be firmly grounded in our beliefs and not be swayed in the least.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
As he said to Joshua when leading the Israelites into the promised Land of Israel.
"Be strong and be of good courage."
Pope Meets Bush
ROME(AP) President Bush said Saturday that and he and Pope Benedict XVI discussed the pontiff's deep worries that Christians in Iraq would not be embraced by the Muslim majority.
"We didn't talk about just war," Bush said in a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi during a swing through Europe.
"He was concerned that the society that was evolving would not tolerate the Christian religion. ... He's worrisome about the Christians inside Iraq being mistreated by the Muslim majority."
Bush met with the prime minister several hours after seeing the pope. The two men, meeting each other for the first time, appeared intent to look beyond their differences in Iraq. The pope, in his Easter message, had denounced the "continual slaughter" in Iraq and said that "nothing positive" is happening.
Bush said his meeting with the pope, in which the president stressed his record in fighting AIDS and supporting other humanitarian causes, was a "moving experience."
"I was talking to a very smart, loving man," Bush said.
On an issue back home, Bush said his decision to replace Gen. Peter Pace as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff reflected the Democratic-led Congress' opposition to the war in Iraq.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday that bitter divisions over the Iraq war on Capitol Hill led the Bush administration to replace Pace Adm. Mike Mullen, currently chief of naval operations.
"Pete Pace is a fine man and a great general and I think the fact that Secretary Gates made the recommendation not to move forward with a renomination speaks to the U.S. Congress and the climate in the U.S. Congress," Bush said.

How dare these people deny Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc...the right to practice their own religion! Yet when they come here to the USA or Europe, they expect us Christians, Jews, etc... to allow them to practice theirs. This is outright hypocrisy! President Bush should be the first to defend Christianity and make it known how Islam will not rule in America at all!

A Friend's Blog
A wonderful website by a young, Iranian American woman, who I consider a good friend. She has informative stories on her blogs which consists of the politics of the Iranian Regime violating the Human Rights of individuals, arresting and beating women if they have hair showing, as well as numerous, multiple violations being committed by this dangerous regime. Her site is very informative with daily updates. Please visit her blog and say hello.
Politicians are criminals too.
What are these politicians doing in Congress? These laws were created to be put in force, not to look at! That is the reason our fore-fathers of Congress members created these laws. I believe that our Congressional Caucus needs a make-over. People like Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John McCain, John Kerry, etc... need to resign as they will not enforce what was in the laws. This current Congress are all criminals since they won't enforce nor abide by the laws we have now. Why even have laws at all? The lawlessness in this country increases every second of the day. For instance: Congressman Jefferson was EXPOSED for his bribery scandal. What happened next, the voters in New Orleans voted for him anyway! He was finally indicted on the Bribery charges. He should not be allowed to participate in any govt. institution as a politician.
Immigration is a hot topic among many people today. I welcome immigrants to this country as long as you do this through the legal channels. If you are illegal, you need to leave as you are not a citizen of this country. I admire Lou Dobbs for his courageous stance against any type of amnesty to "Illegal immigrants". Here is an article from his website.
These people have free access to our healthcare facilities and guess who has to pay for it? You guessed it, the hardworking American taxpayers. Their young women who are illegal, have children born in our very own hospitals. They in turn receive welfare benefits which consists of WIC, Healthy Start, Food Card/Stamps and much more from our American Govt. This is something I totally disagree with.
I believe that if you are here illegally and you have a child born here in the USA, you should not be given one red cent. If the mother is illegal, then the child is illegal and they should be deported. Taxes are paid by legal American citizens and our benefits should be for the legal American citizens.

Lou's Top 5 List
Top 5 Dumbest Things in the Immigration Bill
5) Taxpayers will pay for the immigration lawyers for illegal aliens if working in agriculture.
4) Illegal aliens would be given legal status just one day after their application is filed even if a background check is not completed.
3) Gang members are eligible for amnesty if they renounce their gang status.
2) Borders do not have to be secure before the amnesty program begins.
1) $2,600,000,000,000 -- That is the cost the Heritage Foundation estimates to cover the retirement benefits of 12,000,000 illegal aliens if this amnesty bill becomes law.

Red, White and Blue
I have been playing around with my blog site as some of you have noticed. The area has been widened so that I don't have so much space on the sides of my blogs. I have also been playing with colors and fonts as well. As you can see, my blog is now red, white and blue. It's been really fun. I need more pictures on my site as well. I will hopefully find some that I like and have them posted on here. If anyone has any good pics I can put on my blog, please let me know.
