I asked my sister if she would send me her views on abortion, well she has done just that--outstanding. 

   I usually never write but I feel in my heart now is thetime.  There are some issues I feel youcould help with and if you can’t, please let me know who can.

     As you arewell aware the president of the U.S.is in the process of creating a new healthcare bill.  As aU.S.citizen I am happy to see President Obama is concerned about this issue.

    However, Ido have a few concerns.  I urge you toconsider backing me up on these issues. As having voted to have you represent me as well as many others in oursociety, I can only pray you have the courage to stand up for what is right.

    First, I amasking that you make sure this new healthcare bill does not include funding forsuch things as abortion, birth control drugs or devices, embryonic stem cellresearch, euthanasia or mercy killing of any kind of our elderly, sick orhandicapped.

    Just asJesus told King Herod, you would not have power over me if it were notgiven  you from above; this is true foryou as well.  God has put  you in this position and you have a moral andethical responsibility to the people who entrusted you to this position.

    These lawsare contrary to the dignity of human life. We do not have the right to take human life even if is legal.  I saw on the news that our own lawmakers wereupset because they wanted to prosecute the enforcers if you will, of Hitler butwere having a hard time because in that country at the time they were followingthe laws.  How can we be appalled at thehorrors of that time and not at our own country ‘s actions?  We can’t change what has happened but we canchange the future.

    Many peoplesay they believe in pro choice.  Well Godalready gave us all the free will to choose right from wrong.  I have the free will to choose to steal,murder, smoke crack, etc., but should it be legal?  NO!!!!!! And neither should abortion.  Weare not God!  And we better wake up – ourcountry is in danger.  And we arebringing it upon ourselves.  Please takecourage and stand up for what is right.

    Also itseems to me that part of healthcare reform should be stopping a drug pushingmedia.  I can speak on behalf of manypeople I know that we don’t like watching drug-pushing commercials like Viagraor any drugs or feminine protection commercials especially during our lunchbreak.  Not very appetizing.  We believe if you need a prescription forsomething when you have your physical, the doctor should be telling you whatyour options are at that point.

    If peoplecould afford their regular household bills, maybe they could afford to go to thedoctors when they need to instead of waiting until something is so bad that itcosts the system much more than it would if they could afford a regularcheckup?  And I don’t understand whyinsurances cover cosmetic surgeries but not hearing aids or glasses.  It seems to me seeing and hearing are moreimportant than what a person looks like. Thank you for your time.

In tribute to Father’s Day let us not forget God our Father and Creator who loved the world so much he gave his only begotten son.

1 Peter 1:3-6: (says it best)
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from among [the] dead, 4 to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in [the] heavens for you, 5 who are kept guarded by [the] power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in [the] last time. 6 Wherein ye exult, for a little while at present, if needed, put to grief by various trials.
We should love both the Father and the Son; for without their love and amazing sacrifice we would not exist.

My Father Edward Cote is no longer with us.  He passed away several years ago.   I know that each one of us in our family loves and misses him very much to this day; each in our own way.

One of the things I remember about my father is our talks; how he would teach me things and help me any way he could.  Most importantly, I remember the love he showed to all of us.  I thank the Lord for my earthly Father, and I look forward to seeing him in Heaven some day.

Do not waste the time you have to share with God the Father, his Son and of course the earthly Father he gave us all.

To all the Fathers out there I wish you a very Happy Father’s Day.

2 Chronicles 28:3  He burned sacrifices in the valley of Ben Hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire, following the detestable ways of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
 
After watching a Pro-Life episode on EWTN I was inspired to write this article.  The first thing I did was Google search on "abortion statistics".  The website I went to was http://abortionno.org/resources/fastfacts.html. 

I have to admit I was shocked to see that the majority of abortions came from women of faith.  Perhaps it's a subject that isn't spoken about enough.  It is something that we have rationalized as a society throughout the years.

Murder by definition "is unlawfully killing a human being and with premeditation".

Unborn babies have characteristics of a human being. Abortions are premeditated killings.  You have to choose to abort the child and then make the necessary arrangements with a physician.

Killing a human being "an unborn baby" in this case (abortions) should be unlawful.  Circumstances in life can be harsh.  Things like rape, young pregnancies, malformed babies and the list goes on.  Despite life's dilemmas, killing isn't the answer.

1 Corinthians 10:13  No temptation has seized you except what is common to man and God is faithful;  he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

God made parents instinctively to protect their children that is part of our human nature.  We are motivated by the Ten Commandments as to what God wants us to do.

Exodus 20:13  "You Shall Not Murder".

Ephesians 2:10  For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Proverbs 31:8  Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.

What if "you" were the child of a Mother who aborted you?  You wouldn't be reading this right now.

So help me and countless other Christian's spread the word of the sanctity of life.  Speak up for those who cannot speak themselves.  Speak up for Pro-Life and let nature take it's course.

Ps. 133:1  Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.

Christian's unite for many reasons and that is why so many people benefit throughout the world.

30 Fold Ministries started a business based on Christian unity.

It's network marketing approach allows us as business owners to develop Christian businesses in the United States, Canada, France, Ireland, Australia and the United Kingdom.

This approach allows us to reach individuals that might not otherwise be touched by God's word and presence.

Our Christian Book & Super Stores exist not only to evangelize but to provide a more simplified business approach for those with disabilities.

Our products are developed by individuals with a purpose to spread God's word and to help those who need saving through Christ our Lord.

For instance, Thistle Farms is a non-profit business that manufactures bath and body products.  Those Christian women of Magdalene, unite in a two-year residential plan of action to transform the lives of women touched by violence, prostitution and addiction.

What's more, all the layers of this business are important collectively and individually our business owners make a difference.

So let us celebrate the week of prayer of Christian Unity by praying unceasingly for that very thing.

Eph. 4:3  Be eager and strive earnestly to guard and keep the harmony and oneness of [and produced by] the spirit in the binding power of peace.

1 Thess 5:17  Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly].

Ps 86:6  Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and listen to the cry of my supplications.

2 Chron 7:14  If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave and require of necessity my face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.


I look forward to seeing you again.

When people speak of the neck they try to be specific as possible; so they separate the spine into vertebral sections starting with C1 (first cervical vertebra counting from the base of the skull down).  As it is the same when you go to the thoracic area, it starts with T1 and lumbar L1.

I suffer from acute and chronic intractable pain.   My neck (cervical) and head pain is and has always been the major source of my pain, although I have significant pain elsewhere as well.  The pain scale is expressed (1-10).  One being the least pain you have ever experienced to ten being the worse pain you have ever experienced.  The one observation I have made from this scale is that 10 is subjective.  Just when you think, you have experienced the worst pain you have ever felt it tends to top itself.  My pain level is between 8-10 daily with medication. 

I have several medical conditions that clearly reveal my pain level.

• Acute and Chronic Intractable Pain.
• Cervical disc disease
• Degenerative Disk Disease throughout spine.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome both hands
• Fibromyalgia.
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
• Severe Psoriasis.
• Anemia.
• Esophageal Reflux.
• Peripheral Neuropathy.
• Spinal Stenosis in different areas of the spine
• C2-C3  disc bulge, central protrusion.
• C3-C4 disc protrusion, minimal bilateral unconvertible joint hypertrophy (increase in growth or complexity).
• Anterior (front) cervical fusions at C4-C5, C5-C6, C6-C7 show undulating (fluctuation) posterior (behind) margins resulting in mild to moderate central spinal stenosis (narrowing or constriction). 
• Reversal of the normal cervical lordosis (curvature) centered at C5.
• T2-T3, T3-4 disc bulge.
• L4-L5 disc bulge,

It is a rigorous condition and it takes a great deal of effort and motivation just to get up in the morning.  Since I started a home business, I cannot tell you how great it has, and still makes me feel.

My goal with this blog letter is to encourage, and inspire others like myself to take the chance to improve their lives and feel better about things in general.  To let you know your not alone.

I purchased this book when I first started my business.  I have actually read it three times already and I will probably read it a few more times.  This is one of those books that you will want to read over and over so that the ideas stay fresh.  The concepts that John Maxwell utilizes are solid.  It allowed me to foresee and pursue further business endeavors such as affiliate marketing, multiple income streams and more...  Not that this book covered those topics, but it allowed me to think in a more effective way.



John Maxwell has a nak for putting this rather sleepy topic in a fun an useful manner.  I truly enjoyed this book and I feel confident you will too.  For a great and useful read click "Thinking For A Change".  I give a definite 5 Star rating.  Great work.



I look forward to seeing you soon and thank you for visiting the Westerly Christian Blog.

Our Father's Awesome Love


Our Father’s Awesome Love

Being the pragmatist I am; I often think that love is the answer to so many of Life’s tribulations.  We can choose to love each other, have compassion for each other, have empathy for each other, and not judge each other.  Generally speaking, in order to have compassion, empathy, and a tendency not to pass judgment on someone; love is the answer.

Our Father in heaven wrote the book on love.  He gave his only begotten son to save our souls.  Jesus Christ also made a sacrifice of love (for his Father) as he embraced his destiny with full knowledge of the consequences he would have to endure. 

People do not have to make the sacrifices that the Father and Son had to make, not even close.  So loving each other as the Lord would have us do, seems like such a small sacrifice.

What did Our Father tell us? (Zondervan - Amplified Bible)

Deut 6:5 “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your (mind and) heart and your entire being and with all your might.”

Lev 19: 16 – 18 “You shall not go up and down as dispenser of gossip and scandal among your people, nor shall you (secure yourself by false testimony or by silence) and endanger the life of your neighbor.  I am the Lord.  You shall not hate your brother in your heart; but you shall surely rebuke neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him.  You shall not take revenge or bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love you neighbor as yourself.  I am the Lord.”

Zech 7:9 “Thus has the Lord of hosts spoken: execute true judgment and show mercy and kindness and tender compassion, every man to his brother.”

Matt 7:1 Do not Judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves.”

Immersing yourself in scripture is the way to learn Gods love and speak of it.  If we follow Gods example we will love as God knows we are capable of.  My New Years resolution and I hope it is yours too, is to spread love, compassion, empathy, and forgiveness to everyone, even more so than we already do.

My prayers are with you all.

Doing Business Abled


Joni and I met through a business social networking environment, and when we heard each other's stories we decided to do a joint venture to support each other's efforts; to help the disabled--do business abled, despite their disabilities.  When you hear Joni's story you will feel encouraged to get going.


My name is Joni Waseity-Beadle. I'm 47 years young and live along side
my wonderful husband Mike and Golden Retriever Maggie Leigh in Canton, Ohio.

I have Hypothyroidism, Fibromyalgia, Leukopenia and have survived a double
brain aneurysm. I try to live each day positive instead of negative, laugh as many times
as I can, and always let the Good Lord know what I'm grateful for.

I have an online business, http://www.insicknessandinwealth.com that focuses on people with an illness or disability to inspire them to change their overall quality of life for the better.

I have a free online newsletter, http://www.thejobberjoint.com which displays work at home programs, health articles, jokes and inspiration.

I created a group on Face book, "Joe Jobber's Lighter Side for the Sick and Disabled," for the whimsical and jovial person, who wants to have a little bit of fun put in their day. We only allow positive, motivational, inspirational and most of all funny posts in this group.

I've created a local group here in Canton, Ohio, http://www.meetup.com/Canton-Coping-with-Chronic for those with an illness or disability to meet other like minded people, once a month, for support and camaraderie.

I'm currently working on a new business, http://www.yourcopywritingsolution.com
to help beginners on the Internet with content for their landing pages, web sites and sales letters.

I also take care of a surviving cancer patient in his home, part-time, five days a week.

Being a survivor myself and living with illness, I want to bring total awareness to our society,
that being sick or disabled doesn't have to be a stereotype of someone who has nothing to offer.

It's all in the way we choose to carry ourselves, and live the unique life God intended for
us.

Joni Waseity Beadle is an author and entrepreneur for
In Sickness and in Wealth, a continuing education and business developing company, inspiring and transforming others with an illness or disability in changing their lives spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially and financially.

Planting The Seed by Reverend Frederick A. Kohler and Gregory A. Banks

 

 

You will be impressed by Frederick and Gregory’s drive to witness and be inspired by the method in which they chose. 

 

 

 

 I felt a connection to Frederick through the pain that we both experience as well as, the emotional manifestations that accompany it.  Although our hardships are quite different, we both came to the same conclusion; “Through Christ all things are possible.”  I found comfort in all the healing scriptures they chose; especially, “Psalm 103:106, and Ephesians 6:10-18. 

 

 

 

If you’re having difficulty with memorizing scripture their four-step process made me a believer. This book is a must read for all. 

 

 

 

It’s well written, captivating, and an easy read. 


I thank you for visiting my blog, and I look forward to seeing you soon.


Take care with prayer,

Christian Inspirational Story - Westerly Christian

Hi, my name is Marie Cote owner of Gods Link Online Christian Superstore.  I am disabled, and I found myself having to change direction in my career because of my illness. 


What did I do before?  I spent 8 years in the United States Army as a Medical Laboratory Specialist.  In July 1993, I decided not to reenlist because of my first anterior cervical fusion surgery in 1992 and I did not want to incur further injury.
My previous civilian career ranged from Medical Laboratory Assistant, Specimen Processor, Phlebotomy Coordinator, and Phlebotomist. 


Why did I change careers?  In 2002, my condition became unmanageable.  I suffer from acute and chronic intractable pain.  I have several conditions that clearly explain the pain, which I will talk about in subsequent issues of Business Abled. 


I decided that the only way I could work, was to work at home, so I researched the Internet for a business opportunity.  I found the perfect fit, www.30fold.net.  A Christian home based business was perfect for me.  It allowed me to tailor my work around my pain.  I have the perfect boss (God), and I have an excellent opportunity to help others through my work.


I slowly built my business to what it is today.  Our online store has a focus market of Christian product sales, and keeping Christian dollars in Christ’s Kingdom.  So if you are looking for quality Christian products and great pricing check us out at www.westerlychristian.com.  I also have a value store in which my focus market is weight loss through a product called Hoodia (Power Slim), and a focus market for beginner musicians.  If you would like to save money on these quality products, go to www.godslink.30foldvstore.com.  If you are looking for credible business, solutions check out my business resource page. 


In 2007, I decided to ignite an additional passion of mine and opened an online kitchen product store where you can save on several quality kitchen tools and gadgets you may need.  So check out my kitchen store and save at www.kitchenaccessorieslink.com.


The most rewarding portion of my work is serving God and serving others through retail sales, affiliate sales, and business development.  Thank you for visiting my blog.  I look forward to seeing you soon.


Take care with prayer,

Marie Cote - Owner
