How can we know? Two ways...
1. The Bible.
2. Our bodies
I'll start by sharing with you God's Word in Colossians 1:16-17For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Christ Jesus Our Lord!
Secondly...If you've ever doubted God's Word, well, I've come to share something with you that you might find as a shock...there is proof that Jesus was before all things, and proof that He holds all things that consist through His power. I don't know if you've ever had any experiences with micro-biology or not, but there is literally an un-ending supply of knowledge in the scientific field that God has placed at our disposal that lead us toward Him...what follows, is something that was shown to me just recently in an email...but first, I'll share a diagram with you...
Know what that is?
That is what biologists call; in scientific terms - Laminin. It is the molecular cohesian molecule that holds the proteins in our body in place, our skin, our hair, our internal organs, it holds our entire bodies together, in other words, we would be helpless without them, and there are untold billions of these in our bodies, as they are contained in every cell of our body.
But what makes Laminin so special and so unique? Is that it is in the shape of The Cross that our Lord and Savior was crucified on. So, this stands as a reminder that it is Jesus Christ in whom we overcome the world and makes all things possible.
Louie Giglio makes an outstanding explanation of this and how he came to find out about Laminin, you can find it here at youtube.
God bless!

One more reason why Pastor Jeremiah should never breed....EVER
Exactly what is McSame smoking??
John McCain is starting a California campaign that might already be over.
The Republican presidential candidate opens a handful of political offices this week in the nation's most populous state, the historical turf of Reagan and Nixon that in recent years has become a Democratic fortress in presidential contests.
A few problems with this plan for McSame, as the writer points out throughout the article:
First: It's your party's president and your policies, stupid!
The Arizona senator boasts that he can win California's 55 electoral votes, the biggest prize on Nov. 4, but he's running as the Republican successor to GOP President George Bush, whose approval rating is at an all-time low in the state. Three of four voters say the nation is on the wrong track, and McCain's opposition to abortion rights and his support for the Iraq war and offshore drilling leave him out of step with a potentially decisive swath of Californians.
Second: The Hispanic vote, and the trends in party registration
A Republican hasn't carried the state in a presidential contest in two decades, and Al Gore and John Kerry notched double-digit victories here. Democratic voter registration is inching up, while the Republican slice of the electorate is shrinking. The growing ranks of Hispanic voters - possibly 20 percent of the California vote this November - tilt Democratic.
Third: Money, money, money!
Beyond the political environment - McCain campaign manager Rick Davis calls it "among the worst in modern history for Republicans" - McCain's biggest problem in California could be a tight budget.
Television is typically the only way to reach voters across the vast state, home to 38 million people. A statewide run of TV ads can cost several million dollars a week, and those prices could be an impediment for McCain in a race where Obama is expected to have a financial edge.
McCain "is likely to get outspent 2-1 nationally. He's going to have to be very careful about which states he targets," said Michael Schroeder, a former state Republican chairman who was political director for Mitt Romney's California campaign.
But don't tell that to dumb and dumber....

John McCain Reaches His Audience
Does it even appear that they are even listening to him? Looks to me like he is boring them stiff.
Why Do We Need Studies On this Shit?
WASHINGTON - Congress should repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" law because the presence of gays in the military is unlikely to undermine the ability to fight and win, according to a new study released by a California-based research center.
To support its contention, the panel points to the British and Israeli militaries, where it says gay people serve openly without hurting the effectiveness of combat operations.
Undermining unit cohesion was a determining factor when Congress passed the 1993 law, intended to keep the military from asking recruits their sexual orientation. In turn, service members can't say they are gay or bisexual, engage in homosexual activity or marry a member of the same sex.
Supporters of the ban contend there is still no empirical evidence that allowing gays to serve openly won't hurt combat effectiveness.
"The issue is trust and confidence" among members of a unit, said Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis, who retired in 1993 after working on the issue for the Army. When some people with a different sexual orientation are "in a close combat environment, it results in a lack of trust," he said.
University of California at Santa Barbara, which said it picked the panel members to portray a bipartisan representation of the different service branches. According to its Web site, the Palm Center "is committed to keeping researchers, journalists and the general public informed of the latest developments in the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy debate." Palm himself was "a staunch supporter of civil rights in the gay community," the site says.It Doesn't Matter How Right You Are If Your Tactics Are Wrong
BERKELEY, Calif. - In the hills above the University of California's Berkeley campus, nine protesters gathered in front of the home of a toxicology professor, their faces covered with scarves and hoods despite the warm spring weather.
One scrawled "killer" in chalk on the scientist's doorstep, while another hurled insults through a bullhorn and announced, "Your neighbor kills animals!" Someone shattered a window.
Borrowing the kind of tactics used by anti-abortion demonstrators, animal rights activists are increasingly taking their rage straight to scientists' front doors.
And the Animal rights people are just as wrong as the anti-abortion demonstrators as well. It's not their point of view I disagree with. Hell I probably agree with 85% of it. But a criminal act is a criminal act. And this covering your face with scarves is Bush league as well. These people are just as big a chicken shits as the keyboard commandos of LGF or The Free Republic.Jonathan Might Like This
Chiefs' Gonzalez saves man's life with Heimlich
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A California man says Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez of the Kansas City Chiefs kept him from choking to death.
"Tony saved my life. There's no doubt," Ken Hunter, a shipping company manager, told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Huntington Beach, Calif.
"Tony came up behind me and gave me the Heimlich maneuver. Thank God he was there."
Gonzalez, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection who has set numerous NFL records, was having dinner with his wife, brother and 5-week-old daughter at Capone's restaurant in Huntington Beach Thursday night. Hunter, 45, was dining with his girlfriend at the next table when suddenly a piece of meat stuck in his throat.
"I tried to take a drink of water, but I couldn't swallow," Hunter told The AP. "Then I couldn't breathe. That's a terrible feeling. I couldn't breathe. Then I guess I started to panic."
Gonzalez, sitting with his back to Hunter's table, looked around when he heard Hunter's companion yelling.
"She was screaming, 'He can't breathe, he can't breathe,"' Gonzalez said by phone from California, where he lives in the offseason. "The whole restaurant was quiet. Nobody was doing anything.
"Then I saw he was turning blue. Everybody in the restaurant was just kind of sitting there wide-eyed."
The 6-foot-5 Gonzalez, about a foot taller than Hunter, jumped out of his chair and came up behind the stricken man and began to perform the Heimlich maneuver.
"After just a few seconds, the piece of meat popped out," Hunter said. "I could breathe again. It's a good thing Tony is so tall because I had stood up — I think."
Diana Martin, a restaurant employee, said no one else seemed to know what to do.
"He was so lucky Tony was there," Martin said. "In a situation like that, every second counts. It helped a lot that Tony's a big, strong guy because you have to be able to apply some pretty good pressure. I don't think I would have been strong enough to help him."
Hunter is a lifelong fan of the San Diego Chargers, one of Kansas City's key rivals in the AFC West, and plans to be at the game when the Chiefs visit the Chargers on Nov. 9.
"I'm Tony's No. 1 fan now," he said.
And what will this longtime follower of the Chargers do if they're ahead by four or five points in the final minute and Gonzalez runs into the end zone and leaps up for what would be the game-winning touchdown for K.C.?
"I'm going to be yelling for Tony to catch the ball," Hunter said. "I think all my friends will understand."
McCain: Obama will take away your Crocs!
In his Denver, Colo., town hall meeting just now, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that the trade policies of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, will hurt the ability of Americans to sell to foreign markets those weird trendy plastic "Crocs."
"Five years ago, the outdoor footwear company, Crocs, was started by a couple of entrepreneurs with a great idea, ingenuity and drive," McCain said. "This former small business now employs 600 people in Colorado alone, and sells over 50 percent of its products in 90 countries around the world. Building barriers to Crocs or any American company's access to foreign markets will have a devastating effect on our economy and jobs, and the prosperity of American families."
Oh no! How will we ever survive without our trendy - yet comfortable - plastic shoes and sandals?

It turns out that you can fool some of the people all of the time
Lots of people have lied about Iraq. Saddam lied. The French, German, Russian and UN bureaucrats who were bribed by Saddam lied. Plame lied. Wilson lied. The anti-war movement lied. President Bush, though, didn’t lie - not even once, and not even slightly.
Uh, Noonan a few things:
1.) What possible gains could France and Germany possibly achieve aligning themselves with Saddam Hussien, let alone get bribed by the son of a bitch?
2.) So I take it Scott Ritter was on-board with Saddam, the anti-war movement in this country, etc. in making Our Great Leader look like a war criminal....after all, he was on the U.N. weapons inspectors who searched for Saddam's supposed stockpiles of WMD and announced that he didn't have jack to begin with.
3.) Do you think Scott McClellan, Colin Powell, and George Tenet would agree with you? It was they who had to push Bush's so-called 'truth'.
4.) So, in a nutshell, the people who believe that Bush's justification for going to war in Iraq was misleading lied about Saddam not having WMD, and president Bush is nothing more that an innocent bystander. But it begs a few questions: First, what would be the motive for allying ourselves with a mass-murdering dictator? For shits and giggles? Second, exactly how could we have been able to pull this off? Could there have been secret elections to send representatives from the anti-war movement, France, the U.N., etc to met with Saddam himself at some secret location and layout the plan in which to lie about Saddam having WMD, and we had lapdogs spread the propaganda about Bush is lying about Saddam having nuclear weapons?
Do you have any idea of how fucking stupid you sound right now?!
But wait, folks! It get better from here:
The anti-Bush effort vis a vis Iraq has been a sick combination of stupidity, deception and cowardice…all of it done for purely political reasons by people on the left (joined by a few on the right) who wish to harm the United States in general and President Bush in particular.
Let us give Noonan the beginning argument, that we all lied about Saddam claiming that he didn't have WMD. First, Mark: if we were stupid to be playing this game, how could we have pulled it off? Stupid people can't plan worth a damn! Second, if the initial goal was to deceive the American public that Bush was lying about Saddam having WMD, then the plan was a monumental failure, becasue at the time most of the American public believed and bought the president's argument for invading Iraq!
Again, Noonan - are you stuck on stupid?!
I swear, I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
If Mouse Limburgh Were President
1. Open a continental shelf to drilling. Ditto the Artic National Wildlife Refuge.
2. Establish a 17% percent flat tax
3. Privatize Social Security
4. Give parents school vouchers to break the monopoly of public education
5. Revoke Jimmy Carter's passport while he is out of the country
6. Abandon all government policies based on the hoax of man made global warming.
*7. use my office to continue to go to the Dominican Republic to pick up under-aged male prostitutes under the guise of buying Dominican Cigars which you can get at any tobacco shop in America.
*I added that one myself but you get the point.
The View From My Ass
Swinging Down Memory Lane.
So right now I am listening to KOMA out of Oklahoma City. The venerable oldies station is by far one of the best things things to come out of Oklahoma (though there isn't much else good that has ever come from there) and it provided my entertainment for two years when I lived in Wayne Nebraska. I spent two years bored off my ass lying in bed listening to KOMA wondering if it was all worth it. Now I know it was but it wasn't. I was doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons. It also brings to mind one of my favorite things to do that I hardly ever do any more. Lie in the dark or with candles and listen to music coming from radio stations from anywhere but home. I can't explain the appeal of it but my brother also loved to do the same thing. I got it from him. I think it's because we both prefer the darkness and listening to out of town stations allowed us to travel with out leaving. It just brings to mind my thoughts on TV. I love TV...but we have definitely lost something because of it.
I Hate... I Mean Really Fucking Hate... Brett Favre.
Here's a riddle. What brings more enjoyment...The orgasm Brett Favre gives the media or the orgasm Brett Favre gets from the media? NOBODY has ever got off more from hearing his name on TV than this son of a bitch. He's retiring now he isn't. He's calling a press conference to say nothing. Now he's retired now he's coming back. Oh look there's his wife hawking her book and there is his Mamma. This guys has to be the total story and the media being blinded by their lust for him doesn't see just how self centered this son of a bitch is. Fuck you Brett Favre just fucking go away. Where your Wranglers, Mow your own fucking lawn and stuff your Wife's vibrator with Rayovac batteries but just fucking go away. One last thing. If Green Bay bends over for this clown again if I were Aaron Rodgers I would demand to be traded.
Get Used To It Barack.
Barack Obama is dumbfounded by the media reaction to statements he made about Iraq...
Link
ST. LOUIS - Barack Obama celebrated "active faith" as an obligation of religious Americans and a chief agent of societal change while speaking Saturday to a nearly all-black roomful of churchgoers, but hoping to reach far beyond them.
Earlier in the day as he flew from Montana to Missouri, Obama told reporters he was surprised at how the media has "finely calibrated" his recent words on Iraq, and reaffirmed his commitment to ending the war if elected.
Don't know why he is surprised by the media's reaction to anything he says but I'll let him in on a little secret (Ok unlike a certain crazy right wing blogger I DO NOT actually believe Obama has read anything I have written.) But don't be surprised by the reaction to anything you say about anything. They are committed 100% to getting John McCain elected president. I do have one question for Obama however. Why are you campaigning to be the next Bush? Jeez even John McCain who IS the Next Bush isn't running as the next Bush. Why would you?
One note the Hillary supporters who are not going to vote or are going to vote for McCain...Fuck You!
Even The Optimist Can't Really Think Of Any reason To Be Optimistic.
Link
Even folks in the Optimist Club are having a tough time toeing an upbeat line these days. Eighteen members of the volunteer organization's Gilbert, Ariz., chapter have gathered, a few days before this nation's 232nd birthday, to focus on the positive: Their book drive for schoolchildren and an Independence Day project to place American flags along the streets of one neighborhood.
They beam through the Pledge of Allegiance, applaud each other's good news — a house that recently sold despite Arizona's down market, and one member's valiant battle with cancer. "I didn't die," she says as the others cheer.
But then talk turns to the state of the Union, and the Optimists become decidedly bleak.
They use words such as "terrified," "disgusted" and "scary" to describe what one calls "this mess" we Americans find ourselves in. Then comes the list of problems constituting the mess: a protracted war, $4-a-gallon gas, soaring food prices, uncertainty about jobs, an erratic stock market, a tougher housing market, and so on and so forth.
Really I don't know why anybody would be surprised. When we gave Bush four more years couldn't you see this happening? Hell any country that elects the people we elect deserves the mess we are in. This just makes me scratch my head even more when I see and hear Obama go down the "I'm more like Bush than you realize path" At a time when Americans have less faith about everything it's not a goodtime to say you want more faith based bullshit.
Anyway
'Till next time.

Fuck Brett Favre.

56. Jeremiah | July 5th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Just like Mark, he and I disagree on what homosexuals receive as treatment, but he realizes that homosexuality is wrong and that they have no place to be “married.” Marriage is God’s idea, and He placed it specifically for a man and a woman, which maens two men or two women are excluded and never should they be allowed to marry. Yet, here we have some idiot judges in California and Massachusetts who think they are above the Almighty Judge….Well, I got news for them birds, God ain’t gonna put up with that. God have mercy on this nation…if you want judgement on this nation that is a sure-fire way of doing it, and the Presbatyrian Church allowing homosexuals into the ministry, the teachers teaching it to the kindergartners, arresting people for protesting homosexuals. This is gettin’ serious. Serious as all get out. Them homsexuals is gonna cause a war in this country.
