I have found over the years that when we trust God first and throw ourselves at his mercy that all things work out for the best; and that thinking applies to nations also. <span> </span></span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #e36c0a">{II Chronicles 7:14…If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.}</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"> Just prior to his death Moses gave some last words of encouragement to the nation of Israel in </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">Deuteronomy 31.6:<span style="color: #76923c"> “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them, for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee”. </span></span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">Though some could possibly make the argument that the scripture applies only to the Hebrews of the Old Testament; we are reminded in </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">Hebrews 13.5</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">: </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #76923c">“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have; for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee”</span></strong></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"> As we are faithful to seek first the kingdom of God, then He will be faithful to meet our every need<span style="color: #e36c0a"><o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></em></p>

Part XII<o:p></o:p></span></strong></em><em><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">Since writing <strong>Now and then//1929, 2009//the coming Depression Part XI</strong> back in January things have only gotten worse, the lies and outright arrogant dismissal of what the American People want from our Government is appalling at best. I accept that no one President or Congress could possibly fix the economic mess we are in, certainly not in a short 18 months. What is so sad about the “fixes” coming from the Congress and President is the fact all of them have been for giant corporations, Wall Street and the labor unions, EVERY program for the middle class has not only failed but actually benefited the financial institutions. I wouldn’t feel so bad if there was some glimmer of sun light ahead of us; but, there isn’t. DO NOT, DO NOT allow anyone (of either party) tell you that everything is going to be alright. We are headed towards a full blown Depression; I have been saying this since May of 2008. There were many reasons stated throughout the series (all posted) </span></em><em><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14pt">Now and then//1929, 2009//the coming Depression.</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">Here are some more reasons which support my thoughts that there is nothing with substance in our economic health and the Stock Market. <strong><span style="color: red">(1)</span></strong><span style="color: red"> </span>Washington is telling us that there is no inflation; actually there is ONLY the appearance that there is no inflation. For one thing, economically, the whole world is on life support-business aren’t spending(except for mergers and investment), consumers are doing with less, and unemployment will only go higher; with no spending there is no economic growth and we see what appears as deflation. Inflation is probably at about 10-12 per cent. <strong><span style="color: red">(2)</span></strong><span style="color: red"> </span>The greedy traders on Wall Street are sitting on $670 Trillion “high risk securities” called “derivatives”. If these contracts go bad, who buys them (remember-according to the Democrats in Congress and the President-there is no longer bailouts for “to big to fail”); we’ll see. <strong><span style="color: red">(3)</span></strong><span style="color: red"> </span>Without an economic recovery and some jobs the debt will soon require a Trillion dollars a year in interest. <strong><span style="color: red">(4)</span></strong><span style="color: red"> </span>America and the Dollar no longer dominate; China bought 47% of our debt in 2006, 20% in 2008 and only 5% in 2009. Last year, China bought a lot of oil from Saudi Arabia and for the first time ever Dollars were not used, same thing happened with Russia, Brazil, and India and on and on. Slowly at first, the Dollar will matter less and so will its value. </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">How low will the Dollar be driven? </span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">If no one buys our Treasury Notes (debt), the interest on our debt is one Trillion a year, the debt is over 13 Trillion and unemployment stays at 10% (actual unemployment is 19%) or goes up the Dollar could drop 70-75%. Think about it, think about it hard; your retirement 401K of $100,000.00 would still be $100,000.00 on your statement but only purchase roughly $25,000.00 worth of goods or services. All of this could happen before the end of 2013, about a year into the Depression. <strong><span style="color: red">(5)</span></strong><span style="color: red"> </span>My grandchildren will be the first generation in over 100 years that will NOT have it better than the previous generation, what have we become? Everything we are facing today is the result of misguided and deceitful propaganda of collectivism and progressive policies of the last 24 years. In all fairness to Obama, he hasn’t done anything different that was not in place during the last 24 years, he simply has done in a short 18 months what three presidents did over 24 years and at an accelerated rate which has already destroyed our economic might and suppressed almost all individual rights. A study was done by some academics who studied 25 countries over a period of 800 years which found that EVERY TIME a nation’s debt went above 90% of GDP…the nation failed. </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">Where is our nation’s (America) debt-to-GDP ratio today? It is above 90%.</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"> I don’t write these things carelessly, I try and choose my words with much thought and many times the truth is so ugly, so sad, so hopeless and so unbelievable that I don’t post what I wrote. </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">Do not let anyone, not the Democrats, not the Republicans, not the President and his advisors (certainly not the Treasury or the FED), not your financial advisor, not Wall Street or anyone that is pushing the thought that everything is alright or getting better; folks, we are looking at 2017-2020 before the good times START to come back.</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"> I wrote as far back as late 2009 that the “Real Estate Bust” was far from over at a time when Obama and his people were telling us that things were picking up and that the recession was almost over, I stated then that “Commercial Real Estate” would bust and many banks would fail. Today on the news we learned that home sales fell 27% in July creating the biggest one month drop in history and the lowest we’ve been in 15 years. Is America too big to fail? Not anymore, and even if we were, who would bail us out?<o:p></o:p></span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="Calibri">The Sack Lunches<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;<o:p> </o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. &#8216;I&#8217;m glad I have a <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,&#8217; I thought.<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation.<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;&#8217;Where are you headed?&#8217; I asked the soldier seated nearest to me. <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;&#8217;Petawawa. We&#8217;ll be there for two weeks for special training, and then <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;we&#8217;re being deployed to Afghanistan<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;lunches were available for five dollars. It would be several hours <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;before we reached the east, and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time&#8230;<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;<o:p> </o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;planned to buy lunch. &#8216;No, that seems like a lot of money for just a <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;sack lunch. Probably wouldn&#8217;t be worth five bucks. I&#8217;ll wait till we get to base.&#8217;<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;His friend agreed. <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;bill. &#8216;Take a lunch to all those soldiers.&#8217; She grabbed my arms and <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. &#8216;My son was <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;a soldier in Iraq ; it&#8217;s almost like you are doing it for him.&#8217;<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated. <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;She stopped at my seat and asked, &#8216;Which do you like best - beef or chicken?&#8217; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;&#8217;Chicken,&#8217; I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;the front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;first class.<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;&#8217;This is your thanks..&#8217; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;heading for the rest room.<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;A man stopped me. &#8216;I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.&#8217; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;He handed me twenty-five dollars. <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;not looking for me, but noticed he was looking at the numbers only on <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;my side of the plane. When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;out his hand and said, &#8216;I want to shake your hand.&#8217; Quickly unfastening <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain&#8217;s hand. With a booming voice <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;he said, &#8216;I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.&#8217; I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;wanting to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;When we landed I gathered my belongings and started to deplane. Waiting <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars!<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;to the base. I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;dollars. &#8216;It will take you some time to reach the base.. It will be <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.&#8217;<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers.<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;<o:p> </o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;only give them a couple of meals. It seemed so little&#8230;<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;made payable to &#8216;The United States of America &#8216; for an amount of &#8216;up to <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;and including my life.&#8217;<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;longer understand it.&#8217;<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;May God give you the strength and courage to pass this along to <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;everyone on your email buddy list&#8230;.<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;I JUST DID<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Let us pray&#8230; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Prayer chain for our Military&#8230; <o:p></o:p></font><o:p><font face="Calibri"> </font></o:p><o:p><font face="Calibri"> </font></o:p><font face="Calibri">&gt;Please send this on after a short prayer&#8230;<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;Prayer:<o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt; <o:p></o:p></font><font face="Calibri">&gt;&#8217;Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14pt">August 10, 2010<o:p></o:p></span></strong></em><em><span style="line-height: 115%; font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14pt">Since I wrote the below nothing has changed for the good, we’ve had the Financial Bill passed which at best simply picks “winners and losers” on Wall Street and their financial giants and opens our daily financial transactions to the government. I have, however, underestimated the effect that Billions of Government Money has on the economy. I will revise my timeline for the upcoming Depression; I now believe that it will start in early 2011. By the end of 2011 or early 2012 we will be in a full blown depression. Keep in mind that if the government was listing all unemployed in their “unemployed rate” unemployment is actually close to 20 per cent. This upcoming “Depression” will probably last until 2020 no matter what party is in power. The damage this Congress and President have done to our economy will not repairable in four years. History teaches us that the Republicans rule during times of innovation and great economic upturns; the Democrats have normally ruled the country (with very few exceptions) during recessions, depressions and otherwise slow economic growth. After the “Great Depression” the Democrats controlled the House and the Senate for 40 years. This time history will NOT repeat itself because it is not Democrats in the Congress and the White House. What few REAL Democrats still in Congress have surrendered their vote and responsibility to the demands of the extreme radical progressives and the labor unions? The only question after the “mid-term elections” will be: </span></em><em><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #7030a0; font-size: 14pt">did Congress bring down Obama or did Obama bring down the Democrats?<o:p></o:p></span></strong></em><em><span style="line-height: 115%; font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14pt"><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></em><em><strong><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 14pt">Now and then//1929, 2009//the coming Depression. Part XI//January 5, 2010<o:p></o:p></span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">We just lost 10 years; lost because as we come to the end of another decade it will be a decade of complete totally “negative” numbers in all areas of our economic health. I’ve been saying since May that we were heading towards a </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">“depression”</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"> worst than the </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">“Great Depression” of 1929</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">. (Read all my writings on this series). As 2009 came to an end a few days ago the stock market actually ended positive and a nice 9 month upward rally; as I’ve stated more than once there is still nothing substantive about this market for it to maintain any meaningful growth. I stated back in May that upswings in the markets would be temporary, that another round of “real estate” foreclosures would precede a final “commercial real estate” bust which will result in many bank failures. I’m ready at this time to put a time table on this second round of foreclosures and the commercial real estate bust. This second blow to our economy will start in mid-march and run through September 2010. This round of real estate foreclosures, the failure of commercial real estate, office buildings and ensuing bank failures will be rapid and stunning. Now I’ve been saying that we were surely headed towards a depression since last May; now I believe that we are actually in the very beginning of that depression and would be surprised if we don’t start hearing the word </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">“Depression”</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"> bounced around soon. Don’t be surprised if we finally hear Washington use the word </span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">“Depression”</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"> sometimes this summer. Let’s get back to the “Lost Decade”, the new millennium (2000-2009) ended with the DOW at somewhat over 10,000 (a rally of nine months) helped keep it there (but the DOW first reached the 10,000 mark in March of 1999), the S&amp;P 500 index ended with a minus 9% and the NASDAQ took a negative to the tune of 40%; with numbers like that its fairly easy to call the last 10 years a </span></em><em><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">“Lost Decade”</span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">. I also have some other numbers for you liberals out there that like to change history, manipulate data or simply spin fact with other data. During these 10 years (and particularly since Obama), our national debt has doubled, employment since Bush to Pelosi/Reid/Obama went from<span>  </span>4.9% to 10.2%, dollar has fallen, government stimulus efforts have failed and our leaders in Washington are doing things behind closed doors without regard to the wishes of the folks that elected them. <strong><span style="color: #1f497d">[</span></strong></span></em><em><strong><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #7030a0">At the end of the</span></strong></em><em><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'"> <strong><span style="color: #7030a0">“Great Depression” the 40’s ended with GDP growth of 72%, the 50’s end with GDP growth of 51.3%, the 60’s end with GDP growth of 53.1 and household net worth growth of 44%, 70’s end with GDP growth of 38.1 and household net worth growth of 28%, the 80’s saw GPD growth of 34.9% and household net worth of 42%, and the 90’s had GDP growth of 38.6% and household net worth of 58%. 2000’s end with household net worth of minus 4% and GDP only grew 17.8%</span></strong></span></em><em><strong><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; color: #1f497d">] </span></strong></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: 'Georgia','serif'">and we must remember that 14.6% was accomplished 2000-2006; the bottom line here is that things started going downhill when Pelosi/Reid <span> </span>took control of Congress in late 2006 and intensified in severity during the last 12 months with Obama in office. Never in history has growth coming out of a decline (recession) been as weak as what we going through at this very moment and when you consider the Trillions in Government intervention it is more than sad and dismal, it is a disaster.<o:p></o:p></span></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 10pt">A minister passing<br />
through his church<br />
In the middle of the day,<br />
Decided to pause by the<br />
altar<br />
And see who had come to pray.</p>
<p>Just then the back door opened,<br />
A man came down the aisle,<br />
The minister frowned as he saw<br />
The man<br />
hadn&#8217;t shaved in a while.<br />
His shirt was kinda shabby<br />
And his coat was<br />
worn and frayed,<br />
The man knelt, he bowed his head,<br />
Then rose and walked<br />
away.</p>
<p>In the days that followed,<br />
Each noon time came this chap,<br />
Each time he knelt just for a moment,<br />
A lunch pail in his lap.</p>
<p>Well, the minister&#8217;s suspicions grew,<br />
With robbery a main fear,<br />
He decided to stop the man and ask him,<br />
&#8216;What are you doing here?&#8217;</p>
<p>The old man said, he worked down the road.<br />
Lunch was half an hour.<br />
Lunchtime was his prayer time,<br />
For finding strength and<br />
power.</p>
<p>&#8216;I stay only moments, see,<br />
Because the factory<br />
is so far away;<br />
As I kneel here talking to the Lord,<br />
This is<br />
kindawhat I say:</p>
<p>&#8216;I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL<br />
YOU, LORD,<br />
HOW HAPPY I&#8217;VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND<br />
YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. DON&#8217;T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU<br />
EVERYDAY.<br />
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM CHECKING IN TODAY.&#8217;</p>
<p>The minister feeling foolish,<br />
Told Jim,<br />
that was fine.<br />
He told the man he was welcome<br />
To come and pray just<br />
anytime</p>
<p>Time to go, Jim smiled, said &#8216;Thanks.&#8217;<br />
He hurried to the<br />
door.<br />
The minister knelt at the altar,<br />
He&#8217;d never done it before.</p>
<p>His cold heart melted, warmed with love,<br />
And met with Jesus there.<br />
As the tears flowed, in his heart,<br />
He repeated old Jim&#8217;s prayer:</p>
<p>&#8216;I JUST<br />
CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,<br />
HOW HAPPY I&#8217;VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH<br />
OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. I DON&#8217;T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,<br />
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.<br />
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY.&#8217;</p>
<p>Past noon one day, the<br />
minister noticed<br />
That old Jim hadn&#8217;t come.<br />
As more days passed without<br />
Jim,<br />
He began to worry some.</p>
<p>At the factory, he asked about him,<br />
Learning he was ill.<br />
The hospital staff was worried,<br />
But he&#8217;d<br />
given them a thrill.</p>
<p>The week that Jim was with them,<br />
Brought<br />
changes in the ward.<br />
His smiles, a joy contagious.<br />
Changed people, were<br />
his reward.</p>
<p>The head nurse couldn&#8217;t understand<br />
Why Jim was so glad,<br />
When no flowers, calls or cards came,<br />
Not a visitor he had.</p>
<p>The<br />
minister stayed by his bed,<br />
He voiced the nurse&#8217;s concern:<br />
No friends<br />
came to show they cared.<br />
He had nowhere to turn.</p>
<p>Looking surprised,<br />
old Jim spoke<br />
Up and with a winsome smile;<br />
&#8216;the nurse is wrong, she<br />
couldn&#8217;t know,<br />
That he&#8217;s in here all the while</p>
<p>Everyday at<br />
noon He&#8217;s here,<br />
A dear friend of mine, you see,<br />
He sits right down,<br />
takes my hand,<br />
Leans over and says to me:<br />
&#8216;I<br />
JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,<br />
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND THIS<br />
FRIENDSHIP, AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.<br />
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR<br />
YOU PRAY,<br />
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY, AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS CHECKING IN<br />
TODAY.&#8217;<br />
If this blesses you, pass it on. Many people will walk<br />
in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your<br />
heart</p>
<p>May God hold you in the palm of His hand<br />
And Angels watch over you.</p>
<p>Please pass this page on to your friends &amp; loved ones&#8230;.</p>
