THE BIBLE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THIS WAS THE CASE AND IT IS ALSO FOUND IN ONE OF THE MOST COMMON DEFINITIONS OF THE WORD ELDER. SO WHAT DOES THE WISDOM OF THE ELDERS MEAN TO US TODAY AND WITH OUR MODERN LIFE STYLE ARE WE MISSING OUT ON THE WISDOM OF ELDERS? WHAT IMPACT DOES THIS HAVE ON OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PAST AND TEACHING FROM EXPERIENCE? WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT ON THIS WEEKEND'S SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN AND HOW IT IMPACTS OUR FAMILY LIFE AND OUR CHURCH LIFE.  WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US FOR A DEVOTIONAL AS WE PREPARE FOR THAT SPECIAL DAY OF PRAISE, THE SABBATH, WHEN WE RECHARGE OUR SPIRITUAL BATTERIES FOR THE BATTLES OF LIFE IN A TRULY TROUBLED WORLD.  GOD BLESS YOU ALL. 00:25:00North Florida Writer LivenoLIFE IN AMERICA,FAMILY AND CHURCH ELDERS,RESPONSIBILITY,HISTORY,EXPERIENCEWITH THE NUCLEAR FAMILY, INVOLVEMENT OF THE ELDERS IN EXTENDED FAMILIES HAS LARGELY DISAPPEARED, BUT ELDERS HAVE MUCH WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE TO PROVIDE.

REMEMBER THE DAYS YEARS AGO WHEN WE GAVE KIDS TIME TO JUST BE KIDS. THEY DIDN'T NEED I-PHONES AND FANCY GADGETS, JUST A FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL OR HOCKEY STICK.  THEY COULD MAKE THEIR OWN FIELD WITH BASES AND GOAL LINES, ORGANIZE A TEAM IN NO TIME FLAT AND SPEND ENDLESS HOURS PLAYING THEIR HEART OUT.  EVEN AT SCHOOL, THEY WERE GIVEN TIME TO GET RID OF THE STRESSES AND STRAIN BY "RECESS" (UNLIKE COMMON CORE) AND MOMS DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE UP TO BECAUSE EVERY MOM IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNEW WHO THEY ALL WERE. IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME AND, YES, THEY HAD PROBLEMS THEN, TOO, BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE NEARLY AS MANY ALLERGIES AND ALL THE SYNDROMES (ADD,ETC.) GOING AROUND THAT ARE SO PREVALENT TODAY. OBESITY WASN'T NEARLY AS PREVALENT BECAUSE YOU ATE WHAT WAS ON YOUR PLATE OR YOU WENT HUNGRY AND THE PHYSICAL EXERCISE BURNT THE CALORIES.

THE MOST RECENT EXAMPLE IS THE MASSIVE INFUSION OF GREEN SLIME, CHUNKY ALGAE CAUSED BY THE RUNOFF OF AGRICULTURAL WASTE FROM THE SUGAR INDUSTRY INTO LAKE OKEECHOBEE. IN ALL FAIRNESS, OUR GOVERNOR DIDN'T START THE PROBLEM, HE JUST IGNORED IT UNTIL HE CAN DO SO NO MORE AND IN TRYING TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION HE IS BLAMING THE WRONG SOURCE.  WE'LL DISCUSS THIS AND A FEW RELATED ISSUES AS IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL RESIDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU MIX TOO MANY INGREDIENTS TOGETHER ON THE LAND, YOU END UP WITH A POISONOUS COCKTAIL OF LIFE.  WE HOPE YOU'LL TUNE IN. THE SHOW STARTS AT 8:30 PM AND THEN WILL BE ON DEMAND, 24/7.  WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS, FLORIDA. 00:21:00North Florida Writer LivenoFLORIDA,TOURISM VS INDUSTRIALIZATIION,POLLUTION,RICK SCOTT,NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVEMILES AND MILES OF FORMERLY BEAUTIFUL BEACHES AND WATERWAYS IN SOUTH FLORIDA ARE COVERED WITH PUTRID, CHUNKY GREEN SLIME.

JAMES COMEY, THE FBI DIRECTOR WHO HAD A REPUTATION FOR BEING A HARD-NOSED PROPONENT OF THE LAW, HAD JUST SUCH A MOMENT, A MOMENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN REPRESENTATIVE OF HONOR AND INTEGRITY, AND SADLY, IN OUR OPINION HE MADE THE WRONG CALL.  AFTER SPELLING OUT THE VIOLATIONS CLEARLY WHICH HILLARY CLINTON MADE WITH REGARD TO RECEIPT AND TRANSMISSION OF GOVERNMENT E-MAILS, INCLUDING TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS, COMEY GAVE HER A PASS, SAYING HE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PROSECUTION.  WHAT A SAD DAY FOR THE MAN, FOR THE FBI, AN AGENCY ENTRUSTED WITH A KEY ROLE IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM, AND THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE. WE THINK COMEY WILL DISAPPEAR FROM PUBLIC LIFE FAIRLY QUICKLY THROUGH AN EARLY DEPARTURE FROM HIS POSITION. JUDGING FROM SOME OF THE TALK ABOUT THE PLUMMETING MORALE AMONG HIS STAFF, THAT MIGHT BE THE BEST HE CAN DO. AND I HOPE HE WILL PONDER WHAT HE HAS DONE AND PONDER HOW HE CAN MAKE AMENDS TO THE COUNTRY THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SERVE.  CORRUPTION AND LIES CAN NEVER BE CONDONED BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY LEADER IN A LAND THAT WANTS TO BE FREE. WHEN IT IS, TYRANNY CAN QUICKLY REAR ITS UGLY HEAD SINCE NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOVE THE LAW.

WE WILL DISCUSS MIKE'S STRONG SUPPORT FOR A BALANCED LIFESTYLE AND NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION, HIS COMMITMENT TO BEING EXCEEDINGLY OPEN AND HONEST IN WHAT HE WORKS TO ACCOMPLISH, AND HOW VOTERS, REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION, CAN HELP OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH SUPPORT FOR HIM TO NOT JUST BECOME ANOTHER LAND OF ENDLESS SPRAWL AND STRIP CENTERS. i MIGHT NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH MIKE, IN FACT I DON'T AGREE WITH ANYONE ALL THE TIME, BUT i DO BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR ANYONE WHO IS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR RURAL LIFESTYLE AND/OR OUR NATURAL RESOURCES IN ALACHUA COUNTY TO SUPPORT HIM.

NOTHING SEEMS TO BE LEFT UNTOUCHED THESE DAYS IN BIG GOVERNMENT'S PUSH TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE AND DICTATE YOUR CHOICES. THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IS ANOTHER AGENCY TAKING ON DICTATORIAL POWER AS IT STRIVES TO CONTROL LOCAL ZONING ISSUES REGARDING HOUSING ACROSS THE LAND. IN SOME CASES, SECTION EIGHT HOUSING IS BEING FORCED IN THE MIDDLE OF EXPENSIVE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE NAME OF FAIRNESS AND DIVERSITY. THE LOSERS, OF COURSE, ARE THE OWNERS OF EXPENSIVE PROPERTIES WHO SEE THEIR HOME VALUES IMPACTED AND THE OPTION OF FREEDOM OF CHOICE IN HOW WE LIVE GO UP IN SMOKE.  THIS ISN'T ABOUT DISCRIMINATION, FOLKS, FOR FAIR HOUSING LAWS HAV BEEN THE ORDER OF THE DAY FOR YEARS.  NO, THIS IS ABOUT GOVERNMENT PLANNERS DICTATING EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE INCLUDING THE OLD IDEA THAT YOUR HOME SHOULD BE YOUR CASTLE.  THE IDEA IS TO EQUALIZE EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT JUST VIOLATES THE BASICS OF WHAT AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO BE. FREEDOM MEANS INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE AND REWARD BASED UP WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, NOT BASED UP EVERYONE REACHING THE SAME RESULT. THAT'S NOTHING BUT TYRANNY. BIG GOVERNMENT JUST LOVES TO TINKER AND EXPERIMENT WITH THE COST ALL BEING BORN BY THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO LIVE THEIR LIFE FREE OF A GOVERNMENT THAT WANTS TO DIG DEEPLY INTO EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE.  JOIN US FRIDAY NIGHT AS GAINESVILLE REALTOR DARLENE PIFALO USES HER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO FILL US IN ON WHAT IS GOING ON AND HOW IT IS LIKELY TO IMPACT ALL OF US.  THE SHOW GOES LIVE AT 7 PM FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN WILL BE AVAILABLE 24/7 ON DEMAND.

THE SOUTHWESTERN RANCHERS HAVE BEEN UNDER SIEGE FOR YEARS AND AFTER RANCHER ROB KRENTZ WAS MURDERED BY ILLEGALS ON HIS OWN PROPERTY IN 2010 THE THRUST HAS CHANGED.

RANCHERS IN COCHISE COUNTY CAN'T EVEN ENTER THEIR HOMES AFTER A HARD DAY ON THE RANGE WITHOUT FULLY "CASING" THEIR PROPERTY FIRST.  IT'S DANGEROUS IN THESE REMOTE AREAS AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT NOW PROVIDES RADIOS TO RANCHERS TO GIVE THEM INSTANT ACCESS TO THE SHERIFF WHEN CELL PHONES DON'T WORK.

THE BATTLE ENDED WITH A DECISIVE AMERICAN VICTORY THREE DAYS LATER AND WITH IT THE TURNING FROM DEFENSE TO OFFENSE WHICH LED TO THE ULTIMATE VICTORY OVER JAPAN. HAD OUR CARRIERS BEEN LOST, THE OUTCOME OF THE WAR COULD HAVE BEEN FAR DIFFERENT.   AND THEN, TWO YEARS LATER, THE BATTLE FOR NORMANDY BEGAN WITH 101ST AIRBORNE TROOPS AIR DROPPING BEHIND THE GERMAN COASTAL DEFENSE WITH A MISSION TO DESTROY THE HUGE GERMAN HOWITZERS THAT WOULD BE AIMED AT THE APPROACHING FLEET LOADED WITH TROOPS. DESPITE HIGH LOSSES ON THE TRIP IN, THE BRAVE PARATROOPS DID A REMARKABLE JOB. AND FINALLY, JUNE 6, THE MASSIVE SEABORNE ALLIED INVASION OF NORMANDY BEGAN, "THE LONGEST DAY" WHICH EARLY ON WAS IN DOUBT BUT ENDED WITH A GREAT VICTORY AND THE BEGINNNG OF THE END FOR HITLER. SO THE QUESTION IS: WHY DO WE NOT REMEMBER DAYS LIKE THESE AND WHY DO WE NO LONGER TEACH ABOUT THEM IN SCHOOL? THE BEST WAY TO AVOID FUTURE MISTAKES IS TO UNDERSTAND THE PAST, AND WE ARE WOEFULLY INADEQUATE IN THIS AREA.  WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT THURSDAY MORNING AT 8 ON NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE.

BECAUSE POLITICIANS DON'T CREATE JOBS, BUT THEY CAN CERTAINLY SUPPORT A GOVERNMENT CLIMATE THAT ENCOURAGE JOBS, AND TO MAKE IT MEANINGFUL IT HAS TO BE DIRECTED AT SMALL BUSINESS, FOR THAT'S WHERE THE JOB OPPORTUNITIES ARE.  BUT THEY ARE ONLY THERE IF THE CLIMATE MAKES IT EASY FOR ENTREPRENEURS TO BUILD A BUSINESS.  THE OLD CRONY-CAPITALIST EMPIRES DON'T CREATE ANYTHING EXCEPT WEALTH FOR THEIR CORPORATE OWNERS AND THEIR GOVERNMENT CRONIES.  THIS HAS TO CHANGE.

BUT THE JOB SITUATION IS ALSO A DISASTER FOR SO MANY, YET AGAIN, MANY POLITICIANS JUST REMAIN SILENT. NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE CLEARLY GIVES THE ADVANTAGE ON BOTH ISSUES TO TRUMP, A BUSINESSMAN WHO UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT TAKES TO CREATE JOBS AND AND A MAN WHO ALSO FAVORS BRINGING SOVEREIGNTY OVER OUR BORDERS BACK TO CENTER STAGE.  HILLARY AND THE DEMOCRATS SEEM DELUSIONAL ON BOTH, YET WITH A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHO HOLDS THEIR VIEWS, WHAT OTHER POSITIONS COULD THEY TAKE?

THE DAY AFTER THAT ELECTION MCCONNELL WENT BEFORE THE MIKE AND BASICALLY SAID THAT THE REPUBLICANS WOULD REMAIN WISHY WASHY WHILE THE PRESIDENT CONTINUED HIS UNRAVELLING OF THE CONSTITUTION BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE. THE NAMES OF POLITICIANS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND ESPECIALLY THE SENATE, WHO ALLOWED THIS ARE MANY AND INCLUDE SUCH AS MCCAIN, MCCONNELL, GRAHAM, AYOTTE, RUBIO (ON IMMIGRATION), FLAKE, TOOMEY, HATCH.  AND BECAUSE OF THIS, THEY ALLOWED TRUMP TO COME TO THE FOREFRONT WITH A STAND ON IMMIGRATION THAT FLYOVER COUNTRY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.  THE FEW GOOD CONSERVATIVES IN OFFICE, LIKE CRUZ, PAUL, LEE, SESSIONS AND MORE WERE HEAVILY OUTNUMBERED AS THE RINOS AND FAKE CONSERVATIVES GAVE AWAY THE STORE TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

REALLY?HERE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT HAS ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.  AMONG HIS OTHER "DREAMS" IS HIS PLAN TO TURN FLORIDA INTO A MEGA-PORT FOR OCEAN SHIPPING TO AND FROM THE ORIENT.  HE THINKS THE OPENING OF THE WIDER PANAMA CANAL WILL MAKE THIS A CINCH AND WANTS TO HANDLE THE HUGE NEW CLASS OF PANAMAX SHIPS, INCLUDING POST-PANAMAX AND NEW PANAMAX AT HIS PORTS, INCLUDING JACKSONVILLE AND TAMPA.  IT IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF HIS REASONING FOR BUILDING A NEW HIGHWAY NETWORK BETWEEN TAMPA AND JACKSONVILLE. A NUMBER OF MAJOR PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, STAND IN HIS WAY. FOREMOST AND OF IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS THE HUGE DOWNTURN OF ASIAN OCEAN GOING SHIPMENTS. CHINA'S INDICES FOR EVALUATING OCEAN SHIPPING HIT A NEW LOW YESTERDAY, THE LOWEST IT HAS EVER BEEN SINCE CONTAINERIZED SHIPPING VOLUME MEASUREMENT WAS DEVELOPED.  AND THIS MEANS THAT THE REVENUE IS REALLY NOT THERE TO CREATE NEW PORTS OF CALL; IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN FULL CAPACITY AT EXISTING PORTS AS WELL.  AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS THE FACT THAT NEITHER JACKSONVILLE OR TAMPA IS CAPABLE OF PORT ENTRY BY THE HUGE NEW SHIPS.  TAMPA ADMITS IT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE REALLY BIG VESSELS AND JACKSONVILLE'S ENTRY VIA THE ST. JOHNS RIVER WILL REQUIRE MAJOR DREDGING, DREDGING FOR WHICH THERE IS NO FUNDING AVAILABLE.  OTHER PORTS HAVE PROBLEMS AS WELL AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE OVERALL PICTURE TOMORROW AT 10 A.M. CAN FLORIDA AFFORD THE PRICE FOR AN END RESULT THAT IS LIKELY NOT EVEN REALISTIC?

There are a number of issues which are troubling in the overall process and this session was by far the most active session since the process started last December. For the first time since the sessions started, a number of the state-appointed panel members had serious questions and reservations about the process as it unfolded.  The panel even put into the mix for consideration the option of no new roadway at all, just modification of existing roads. We will talk about this matter, offer comments on a few of the key moments during the day and take a few calls if time allows and we hope that local area listeners will pass the information on to others in the way of possible road changes. It's your state and your land, folks, so get involved, be informed and speak up. We hope you will tune in for the show. 01:02:00North Florida Writer LivenoFDOT,Florida roadways,Citizen concerns,Accountability,Public need vs. political wantsSomething interesting happened at the I-75 Task Force meeting.

AFTERWARDS, THE DISCIPLES ACCOMPANIED HIM TO THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, WHERE HE ASKED TO BE ALLOWED TO PRAY BY HIMSELF TO GOD.  AT THIS TIME HE WAS TOTALLY ALONE, EVEN FROM GOD, AS HE TOOK ON THE BURDEN OF THE SINS OF THE WORLD AWAITING HIS ARREST BY THE SOLDIERS BROUGHT TO HIM BY THE TRAITOR jUDAS ISCARIOT.  THIS WAS THE MOMENT HE DREADED BUT KNEW HE HAD TO FACE, FOR WITH HIS UPCOMING DEATH AFTER A TRUMPED UP TRIAL, HIS PURPOSE ON EARTH WAS FULFILLED. ALL OF MANKIND, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE WAS FORGIVEN BY HIM UPON HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS ON GOOD FRIDAY. AND THE QUESTION IS LEFT TO EACH OF US TO ANSWER: DO WE ACCEPT HIS FORGIVENESS BY BELIEVING IN HIM THROUGH FAITH?  THAT'S OUR MESSAGE THIS DAY.

There's a lot of infighting going on today between Christians. Many are accusing their brethren of not being real believers, claiming that unless they support a particular political favorite in this election year, we really can't be a Christian.  Now we can all get very passionate about our beliefs and we do have a tendency to "think" we are always right.  But it's important to remember that politics is so often divisive and often becomes hateful  plus God has given us free will to each make our own choices.  Let's just lower the rhetoric and remember that the Lord has the final answer on what will ultimately happen. He always has the final say and, in the meantime, remember that He expects us to love one another, even when we strongly disagree. Don't let your tongue overrule your sensibility, for we know what James says about the damage which the tongue can deliver. Let's keep it civil, under control  and less judgmental and behave as He expects to one another. We hope you'll tune in for the message, We'll also have scripture, good Christian music and prayer.

Alex is the father of two grown children and he is also very concerned about the educational system here in America and in his hometown of Atlanta.  So we’ll also get his take on Common Core and what a good businessman with international experience, not a crony-capitalist as a lapdog to the state, thinks about the process and what should be done about it. It should be a great discussion.  The show goes live Wednesday night at 7.  You won’t want to miss this one.  See you then. 01:18:00North Florida Writer LivenoCOMMON CORE,OPT OUT GEORGIA,CUBAN TYRANNY,FREEDOM,AMERICAWE HAVE TWO GREAT GUESTS WEDNESDAY, MEG NORRIS OF OPT OUT GEORGIA AND ALEX GIMENEZ, A BUSINESSMAN WITH EXCELLENT INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND A GREAT INSIGHT INhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2016/02/09/plum-creek-the-rest-of-the-story-part-3Lifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2016/02/09/plum-creek-the-rest-of-the-story-part-3/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2016/02/09/plum-creek-the-rest-of-the-story-part-3Tue, 09 Feb 2016 00:00:00 GMTPLUM CREEK: THE REST OF THE STORY (PART 3)TONIGHT AT 7 ON NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE WE'LL CONTINUE WITH THE PLUM CREEK DEVELOPMENT STORY IN THE THIRD INSTALLMENT.  WE'LL MOVE TO A DISCUSSION OF THE UNINTENDED AND NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES THAT NEIGHBORS TO THE AMBITIOUS PROJECT WILL FACE AND HOW THEIR LIVES CAN LITERALLY BE TORN ABOUT.  THE DISCUSSION YOU WILL HEAR IS A PART OF GEORGE SIBLEY'S EXCELLENT AUDIO PODCAST CREATED IN PART BY SUPPORT FROM THE SIERRA CLUB.  AND I MUST ADMIT THAT THIS HUMBLE HOST IS INCLUDED AS ONE OF THE PARTICIPANTS SINCE i ALSO LIVE CLOSE BY THE WHERE THE ACTION WILL BE.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT A TOPIC THAT GETS MUCH DISCUSSION BUT, AT LEAST IN THIS BROADCASTER'S OPINION, IS AS PHONY AS CAN BE BUT, OF COURSE, EACH OF US IS FREE TO DECIDE FOR OURSELVES. REMEMBER IN EARLY 2012 WHEN GEORGE STEPHANOPOULIS ASKED MITT ROMNEY IF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WANTED TO MAKE THE SALE OF CONTRACEPTIVES ILLEGAL?  AT THE TIME IT SEEMED TO BE VERY STRANGE TO INTERJECT THIS SUBJECT INTO A DEBATE OF SUBSTANCE, BUT LATER, AS WE REMEMBERED STEPHANOPOULIS' CLOSE TIES TO HILLARY CLINTON, IT MADE MORE SENSE.  AND AS WE'VE SEEN OVER TIME, HILLARY HAS COME TO THE FOREFRONT ON THIS PHONY ISSUE BY CLAIMING TO BE THE ONE CANDIDATE SUPPORTING WOMEN WITH A RECORD TO BACK IT UP.  AND SHE USED IT AGAINST DONALD TRUMP IN RECENT TIMES BUT, BINGO, THE TRUMPSTER THREW IT RIGHT BACK IN HER FACE.  HE BASICALLY ASKED HOW SHE COULD BE THE WOMEN'S CANDIDATE WHEN SHE DID ALL IN HER POWER TO DESTROY THE VERY WOMEN WHO HAD ACCUSED HER HUSBAND OF SEXUAL ABUSE WITH EVIDENCE TO BACK IT UP. SO IS THERE REALLY A WAR GOING ON AGAINST WOMEN AND, IF SO, WHO IS LEADING IT AND WHY?  AND KEEP IN MIND THERE ARE MANY THINGS GOING ON TODAY THAT ARE OF GREAT THREAT TO WOMEN AND THE MOST CRITICAL RIGHT NOW IS THE IMPORT OF SUPPOSED "REFUGEES" WHO DO NOT ACCEPT WESTERN CULTURE AND HAVE NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN.  ONE ONLY NEED LOOK AT EUROPE TO SEE THE POSSIBLE HORRORS THAT COULD BE COMING TO AMERICA SOON. AND WHO IS PUSHING THIS PROGRAM AND WHY? THERE'S MUCH TO TALK ABOUT AND WE'LL COVER AS MUCH AS WE CAN ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE.

ANARCHISTS ARE ALLOWED TO SPOUT VENOM WHILE GOOD AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE EXPECTED TO FOREGO THE TRUTH UNDER THE NEW RELIGION OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.  IT'S 2016 AND WE ARE NOW AT THE BREAKING POINT: EITHER THE COUNTRY CHOOSES FREEDOM AND INIDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE OR WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT WILL BE DEAD. AND WHEN WE TALK OF THESE THINGS, REMEMBER, IT'S NOT A REPUBLICAN OR A DEMOCRATIC ISSUE BY PARTY, IT'S AN AMERICAN ISSUE. IT TRANSCENDS POLITICAL AFFILIATION SINCE AT HIGH LEVELS OF BOTH PARTIES PERSONAL POWER AND WEALTH HAVE BECOME THE CENTERPOST OF WHAT THEY TRY TO DO TO US. I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US TONIGHT AS WE DISCUSS WHAT 2016 HOLDS FOR US AND WHAT IT MEANS AND HOW WE CAN IMPACT THE NATION THIS YEAR.  WE'LL DISCUSS TAXES, NATIONAL DEFENSE AND SECURITY, IMMIGRATION, COMMON CORE, GUN CONTROL, GLOBAL WARMING, HEALTHCARE AND AS MUCH MORE AS TIME WILL ALLOW.

We can draw comparisons of their relationship with those today's young couples which might hold the answer to why good choices are so important in keeping a couple together during some trying times early in marriage. And what's more, the good choices are a result of using free will as God desires and not as we might selfishly choose otherwise. We'll talk about how Joseph felt when he learned that Mary was expecting and he knew he wasn't the father.  And we'll also discuss Mary's feelings of shame when others saw her in the community where she was known.  Then, we’ll experience the trials and tribulations of travel to Bethlehem on rough and dangerous road and in inclement weather when Mary was near the time of delivery.  Arriving exhausted they were to find that there was no lodging available. We hope you'll join us Friday night at 9:30 for a timely message, a little scripture, prayer and some good music.  And remember, the show will be available after recording on demand 24/7.  Come on, get in the real Spirit of Christmas by focusing on this beautiful story which lies at the heart of our Christian faith.

Being that we are in the Advent season anticipating the approach of Christmas, now is a good time to discuss what constitutes being rich.  We need to do so at this time of year since what we believe in this matter plays such a dramatic part of our Christian faith. The Reverend Adrian Rogers offers some very good advice in this area and his teachings will form the basis of tonight's North Florida Writer Live programming.  Since it's Christmastime, the show will be devoted all month long to Christian values, our belief in the risen Christ and our longing for His return to save a troubled world.  Rev. Rogers, who passed away ten years ago, was an eloquent spokesman for Christian values and living under the purview of the Holy Bible.  And even though he is no longer with us, his messages can still be heard frequently today on the Bible Broadcasting Network (BBNRadio.com). Our show will consist of a short scripture reading, wonderful seasonal music, a message based on some of the words of a great preacher and teacher, and prayer.  We will also be using that wonderful song by Becky Kelley, Where's the Line to See Jesus? as our theme for the entire month. Won't you join us?  We'll be live at 9:30 on Wednesday night, afterwards available on demand 24/7.   00:41:00North Florida Writer LivenoREV.

DESPITE THE HARD TIMES THAT SOME OF US FACE NOW, WE ARE STILL SO MUCH BETTER OFF THAN MOST OF THE WORLD AND WE NEED TO EXPRESS OUR THANKS TO HIM FOR ALL THAT WE HAVE.

IN RECENT YEARS, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS LOST ELECTIONS LARGELY DUE TO LACK OF SPARK IN THE PARTY'S BASE.  FOLLOWING THE REAGAN REVOLUTION AND THE LAST TWO ELECTION LANDSLIDES DUE TO CONSERVATIVE AND BLUE COLLAR SUPPORT, THE PARTY HAS FALLEN INTO A RUT WHERE THE ESTABLISHMENT THINKS IT HAS INDEPENDENT APPROVAL AUTHORITY TO NOMINATE A MUSHY, MILQUETOAST CANDIDATE.  EVEN WITH THE TWO VICTORIES BY GEORGE W. BUSH, THE PARTY MOVED DRAMATICALLY AWAY FROM THE PRINCIPLES OF REAGAN AND WON TWO CLOSE ELECTIONS WHICH SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CLOSE AT ALL.  AND SINCE THEN, THE LIKES OF JOHN MCCAIN AND MITT ROMNEY, WHILE GOOD MEN, FAILED TO EXCITE A BASE WHICH WAS LOOKING FOR SO MUCH MORE. TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 2016 AND THE WAY THE ESTABLISHMENT IS TRYING TO STOP THE INSURGENTS, MOSTLY OUTSIDERS, WHO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE WAY PARTY BUSINESS IS DONE.  DONALD TRUMP AND TED CRUZ OFFER THE MOST DRAMATIC EXAMPLES OF A PUSH FOR AN OVERHAUL OF THE PARTY WITH BEN CARSON ALSO IN THAT CATEGORY.  AS JEB BUSH FALTERS AND THE ESTABLISHMENT TRIES TO CREATE A SWELL OF SUPPORT FOR MARCO RUBIO, A MAN WHO HAS ALREADY BETRAYED THE THINGS THAT GOT HIM ELECTED, TRUMP AND CRUZ OFFER THE BEST HOPE FOR REAL CHANGE AND REAL RESPONSE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.  AND WITH TRUMP'S ABILITY TO SHOWCASE ISSUES, WE FIND OURSELVES AT LONG LAST DEALING WITH THE ISSUES THAT THE PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED WITH AND THIS CLEARLY UPSETS THE ESTABLISHMENT AND THEIR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MASTERS.

WHILE IT HAS BEEN A QUESTION FOR THE AGES, IT TOOK ON SIGNIFICANT PROMINENCE IN MEDICAL RESEARCH IN THE 20TH CENTURY THANKS TO THE WORK OF DR. ELISABETH KUBLER-ROSS, A SWISS-AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIST WHO STUDIED DEATH EXPERIENCES IN GREAT DEPTH AND FOUND SOME FASCINATING INFORMATION.  AND LOOKING AT SOME OF HER EXAMPLES WHICH HAVE BEEN VALIDATED WITH EYEWITNESS EXPERIENCE AND TESTING THROUGH COMPARISON IN NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES BETWEEN THE PATIENT AND THOSE WITNESSING EVENTS, IT STILL REQUIRES AN OPEN MIND AND FAITH TO AGREE ON THE FINDINGS.  BUT THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTED, FOR WITHOUT FAITH THERE REALLY CAN'T BE BELIEF IN THE LOVE AND POWER OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS GRACE.  FURTHERMORE, SINCE WE HAVE FREE WILL TO CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG, OUR OWN INNER SELF, OUR HEART AND SOUL, IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE IN OUR FUTURE.  WE'LL TALK ABOUT DR. KUBLER-ROSS AND HER WORK AND HOW FAITH BOTH LED HER IN HER WORK AND LEADS US TO THE DECISIONS WE MAKE.  AND WE'LL ALSO DISCUSS ANOTHER QUESTION WHICH LEADS MANY OF US TO THE CONCLUSION THAT LIFE AFTER LIFE MUST BE REAL. DO WE REALLY THINK THAT THE LIFE WE KNOW ON THIS EARTH IS ALL THERE IS AND WHY WOULD IT END WITHOUT SOMETHING BETTER?  SURELY THERE IS SOMETHING BETTER AWAITING THAN A SINFUL, MORTAL WORLD WHERE MANKIND DOES SO MUCH HARM TO OTHERS AND THE PLACE WE CALL HOME.  MY ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS THERE LIFE AFTER LIFE IS A RESOUNDING "YOU BETCHA' ", BUT EACH OF US IS FREE TO MAKE OUR OWN DECISION AND ACCORDINGLY FACE OUR OWN FATE.  JOIN US FOR DISCUSSION, A FEW SHORT SCRIPTURE READINGS, PRAYER AND GOOD CHRISTIAN MUSIC.  THE SHOW WILL BE AVAILABLE ON DEMAND LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. 00:33:00North Florida Writer LivenoJESUS CHRIST,GOD THE FATHER,THE HOLY SPIRIT,LIFE AFTER LIFE,DR.

ESTIMATES PRIOR TO THE HUNT WERE THAT BETWEEN 3300-3500 NATIVE BLACK BEAR WERE ACTIVE IN FLORIDA. IN THE PAST YEAR 5 ATTACKS ON HUMANS BY THE BEAR HAVE BEEN NOTED AND 2 SERIOUS CAR WRECKS ON FLORIDA ROADS INVOLVED BLACK BEAR.  WHILE THIS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUPPORT FOR THE HUNT, I SUSPECT THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DESIRES PROBABLY WERE MORE OF A JUSTIFICATION.  THE POINT IS THAT YOU CAN'T BLAME THE HUNTERS AND YOU CAN'T BLAME THE BEARS BUT YOU CAN LOOK VERY CAREFULLY AT THE USE OF LAND FOR THE WRONG REASONS IN MANY PLACES. TONIGHT'S NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE AT 9:30 TONIGHT WILL DISCUSS THIS AND THE PROS AND CONS OF THE HUNT.

AMERICA HAS HELD THE PREDOMINANT ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE IN THE MID EAST FOR GENERATIONS, YET OBAMA, A FORMER COMMUNITY ORGANIZER WITH NO LEADERSHIP OR DIPLOMATIC EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN SHUNTED ASIDE EASILY.  THAT WASN'T DIFFICULT AS HE HAS REFUSED TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT'S IN THE REGION WHICH LOOKED AT US IN THE PAST WITH FAVOR AND THEY ARE NOW MOVING CLOSER TO THE SOVIET VIEWPOINT OUT OF NECESSITY.  MEANWHILE, ALL OBAMA CAN DO IS MAKE REMARKS IN FRONT OF THE WORTHLESS UN WHILE PUTIN IS ON THE MOVE.  ACTUALLY, FOLKS, WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT WITH A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER THINKING HE CAN GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH A FORMER KGB OPERATIVE?  THE DEVELOPING RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES AND THEY ARE DANGEROUS.

THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF WORKING AGE CITIZENS IS OUT OF THE WORKFORCE SINCE 1970S. FOOD STAMP NEEDS ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH.  OUR BORDERS ARE NON-EXISTENT AND WE ARE RECEIVING MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AT A TIME WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS BORDERLINE BANKRUPT.  AND FINALLY CRIME AND TERROR ARE ON A HUGE UPSWING AS SOCIAL DISORDER GROWS MORE VIOLENT EVERY DAY.  SO WHY ARE WE HAVING SUCH PROBLEMS AND HOW CAN WE RESOLVE THEM? WELL, IN ANSWER TO THE FIRST THERE IS ANOTHER QUESTION WHICH MIGHT LEAD US TO THE REAL ANSWER. COULD IT BE THAT WE HAVE TURNED OUR BACK ON GOD AND WHAT HE EXPECTS OF US?  AFTER ALL, HE MADE US IN HIS IMAGE AND WANTS US TO LIVE FOR HIM, BUT IT IS QUITE CLEAR THAT AS A SOCIETY WE HAVE IN MANY WAYS TURNED OUR BACK ON HIM.  IF WE STOP, TAKE TIME TO COMMUNE WITH HIM REGULARLY AND LISTEN TO HIS ADVICE, WE CAN TURN THINGS AROUND. BUT IT COMES AT A COST: WE MUST PUT HIM FIRST IN OUR LIVES AND OURSELVES SECOND.  WHEN THAT HAPPENS, HE TAKES CHARGE AND GUIDES US TO ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS.  IF THAT SOUNDS REASONABLE, WHY NOT MAKE TODAY RECONNECTION SUNDAY?  THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS: TO HAVE US CONNECTED WITH HIM IN ALL THAT WE DO.

STRICT ISLAM ADHERENCE INCLUDES SHARIA LAW WHICH IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE CONSTITUTION.  SO WHY ARE THE MEDIA SO UPSET?  DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT SHARIA LAW IS AND WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS?  CARSON WAS SPOT ON AND, REMEMBER, HE WAS STATING HIS PERSONAL POSITION, NOT STATING WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD THINK.  IF THE MEDIA WANTS TO TAKE HIM DOWN, THEY BETTER FIND A BETTER ARGUMENT, FOR HIS FOLLOWING WENT UP BY HUGE NUMBERS FOLLOWING HIS STATEMENT. WE WILL ALSO TALK ABOUT THE POPE'S VISIT TO CUBA AND THE VISIT THAT STARTED TODAY IN THE UNITED STATES.

OH, THE JUDEANS CONTINUED TO GIVE BURNT OFFERINGS TO GOD, BUT THEIR HEARTS WEREN'T REALLY WHERE THEY NEEDED TO BE. TODAY WE FIND OURSELVES IN SIMILAR CONDITION WHEN WE SO OFTEN FAIL AND SUCCUMB TO OUR DESIRES AND FORGET TO FOLLOW OUR CONSCIENCE AND OUR HEART, FAILING TO KEEP THE HEART OPEN TO THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  BUT FORTUNATELY WE HAVE SOMETHING THAT THE PEOPLE IN ISAIAH'S TIME LACKED: THE PROMISE OF FORGIVENESS, FOR JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS TO FORGIVE US FOR OUR SINS.  THOSE VERY SINS WERE FORGIVEN THE MOMENT HE GAVE US HIS LIFE ON CALVARY'S CROSS.  ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SINCERELY TAKE HIM UP ON HIS OFFER AND FOLLOW HIM  AND WE ARE SAVED.  IT IS THE ONE AND ONLY WAY TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM WITH HIM. I HOPE TODAYS DEVOTIONAL WILL INSTILL IN YOU THE DESIRE TO READ THE BOOK OF ISAIAH FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT. THE BOOK STARTS WITH THE WORDS OF JUDGMENT FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE (CHAPTERS 1-39) BUT THEN ADVANCES TO THE WORDS OF COMFORT AND THE PROMISE OF THE COMING OF THE REDEEMER AND HIS FUTURE KINGDOM (CHAPTERS 40-66).  THE SHOW, ORIGINATING TONIGHT AT 8 PM  WILL BE AVAILABLE AS OF SUNDAY MORNING ON DEMAND.  HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.   00:26:00North Florida Writer LivenoTHE PROPHET ISAIAH,GOD,JESUS CHRIST,THE HOLY SPIRIT,SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWNTHE PROPHET ISAIAH WAS A GREAT VISIONARY IN BIBLE TIMES.

USED GANDHI'S APPROACH TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE PLIGHT OF HIS PEOPLE AND TO START A CHAIN OF EVENTS HAPPENING WHICH CHANGED MANY OF OUR LAWS AND SOCIAL RESTRICTIONS.  AND TODAY, WE AMERICANS FIND OURSELVES IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION WHICH IS MUCH DIFFERENT BUT EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS: WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT NO LONGER SERVES FOR THE PEOPLE. IT IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE OBVIOUS THAT IT SERVES ONLY THE CHOSEN FEW, EITHER THE POLITICAL CLASS OR THE SELECTED LARGE CORPORATE ENTITIES. WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THIS TOPIC MONDAY NIGHT AND SEE IF SUCH A POSSIBILITY HAS ANY LIKELIHOOD.  I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL RESOLVE ANYTHING, BUT I DO KNOW THAT AMERICANS ARE FED UP WITH THEIR UNRESPONSIVE GOVERNMENT AND ARE SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN PUT OUR GOVERNMENT BACK IN THE SERVANT ROLE, NOT THE MASTER. WE'LL TALK ABOUT GANDHI, DR. KING AND ALSO THOMAS JEFFERSON.  WE'LL EVEN SHARE A FEW QUOTES AS AN ATTENTION GETTER FROM EACH OF THESE THREE FAMOUS MEN.

BUT WHEN HE SAW THE LIGHT ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS, HE WAS CHANGED.  SAUL BECAME PAUL AND HE REALIZED THAT JESUS WAS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.  HE ACCEPTED HIS CHALLENGING TASK OF SERVING AS A PRINCIPAL MISSIONARY FOR THE EARLY CHURCH AND WAS A MAJOR PROPONENT OF ITS RAPID GROWTH TO GENTILES IN LANDS TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF ISRAEL, FOR JESUS' OFFER OF FORGIVENESS WAS FOR ALL OF MANKIND, NOT JUST THE JEWS.  HE EXEMPLIFIES HOW JESUS FORGIVES ANY SINNER WHO REALIZES THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS AND COMES HOME TO THE MESSAGE OF REDEMPTION THROUGH BELIEF IN THE SAVIOR.

HERE'S THE DEAL: AMERICANS ARE FED UP.  THEY ARE TIRED OF ILLEGALS TAKING AMERICAN JOBS, OF JOBS BEING ALSO MOVED OVERSEAS DUE TO LOBBYIST INFLUENCE AND THEY DON'T LIKE THE DIRECTION THAT THE COUNTRY IS TAKING, LARGELY FED BY TWO PARTY NATIONAL BODIES WHICH ANSWER TO FAT CAT DONORS AND WASHINGTON INTERESTS.  AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES TRUMP ATTRACTIVE.  HE DOESN'T HAVE TO RELY ON DEEP POCKETS DONORS, HE IS BEHOLDEN TO NO ONE AND DESPITE HIS SOMETIMES BRASH EXTERIOR HE DOES HAVE A REPUTATION OF GETTING THINGS DONE. TRUMP HAS MADE A LOT OF MONEY AND HE OPENLY STATES THAT ALL AMERICANS NEED TO THINK THAT WAY IF THEY WANT THE COUNTRY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.  IT TAKES HARD WORK AND A ZEAL FOR BETTER THINGS TO MAKE A COUNTRY GREAT. TONIGHT WE'LL TALK ABOUT TRUMP AND HIS EFFORTS AND WE'LL EVEN TALK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT BERNIE SANDERS WHO IS ALSO MAKING BIG WAVES IN THE DEMOCRATIC RACE, BUT FOR MUCH DIFFERENT REASONS AND WITH GOALS THAT ARE PRACTICALLY OPPOSITE.

THE GOOD LORD GAVE US THIS AUTHORITY TO MANAGE HIS EARTH AND ALL LIVING THINGS ON IT.  THIS DOMINION WAS NOT GIVEN TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.  QUITE THE CONTRARY, WE ARE EXPECTED TO ADMINISTER IT AS HE WOULD, BY MAINTAINING AND PROTECTING IT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS AND TO TREAT ALL LIVING THINGS, EVEN FOOD SOURCES, HUMANELY AND WITHOUT CAUSING NEEDLESS SUFFERING. UNFORTUNATELY, SINFUL MAN (AND THIS  MEANS ALL OF US) HAS MADE A ROYAL MESS OF THINGS IN SO MANY PLACES. WE WASTE RESOURCES OF THE LAND AND USE IT OFTEN IN WAYS THAT CLEARLY DON'T MAKE SENSE WITH THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS AND WE OFTEN MISTREAT OTHER LIVING THINGS WITHOUT EVEN A WORRY.  I'M SURE THAT GOD LOOKS DOWN ON THESE OCCURENCES WITH A DISAPPROVING EYE.  SO WE NEED TO CONTINUALLY FOCUS ON WHAT GOD WOULD EXPECT OF US AND TRY TO MEET HIS WILL IN NOT JUST THIS AREA, BUT IN ALL THAT WE DO.

TODAY MARKS THE TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SIGNING OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, THE DAY WHEN A NEW NATION, CONCEIVED IN LIBERTY AND UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF GOD, WAS BORN. IT TOOK FIVE LONG AND BLOODY YEARS TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITISH RULE, BUT THEY BRAVE SOULS WHO RISKED THEIR ALL ACCOMPLISHED WHAT AT THE TIME SEEMED IMPOSSIBLE.  AFTER ALL, BRITAIN WAS THE MOST POWERFUL NATION ON EARTH AND YET A RAG TAG BAND OF PATRIOTS WERE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF AND IN DOING SO CREATED THE MOST NOBLE EXPERIMENT IN GOVERNMENT THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. WE HAVE OFTEN FACED TROUBLED TIMES SINCE OUR FOUNDATION AND ARE INDEED IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TODAY.  AND OFTEN IT APPEARS THAT WE HAVE LOST THE SPIRIT OF 1776 AND HAVE LOST OUR WAY. BUT WE OWE IT TO THOSE BEFORE US AND TO THOSE TO FOLLOW US, TO REDOUBLE OUR EFFORTS TO AFFIRM OUR COMMITMENT TO THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH.  SO LET'S HONOR HER TODAY AND WORK WITH ALL OF OUR STRENGTH AND WITH THE HELP OF GOD TO MAKE SURE AMERICA ALWAYS REMAINS THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.

SEVERAL DAYS AGO AN ARTICLE SURFACED TALKING ABOUT THE MARINES AND THEIR LACK OF TRANSPORTATION.  IT SEEMS THAT THE NAVY HAS BEEN DRAWN DOWN SO DRASTICALLY THAT THE MARINES ARE LOOKING FOR FOREIGN SHIPS TO USE WHEN THEY HAVE TO DEPLOY.  SO AMERICA'S 911 FORCE IS NOW IN A POSITION OF A FIRE COMPANY LACKING A FIRE TRUCK TO FIGHT A FIRE.  WHAT KIND OF DEFENSE ESTABLISHMENT IS THIS? SADLY, IT'S NOT LIMITED TO THE NAVY AND MARINES.  THE AIR FORCE IS HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING ENOUGH PILOTS AND THE ARMY HAS BEEN CUT TO MANPOWER LEVELS NOT SEEN SINCE THE 1930S. HMMM!

IMAGINE A NATION THAT IS AT PEACE INTERNALLY, WHERE PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENCES CAN CALMLY DISCUSS ISSUES AND WORK TO RESOLVE THEM AND WHERE THE RESULT IS A COHESIVE SOCIETY WHERE DECENCY AND FAIR PLAY ARE THE RULE OF THE DAY. TO DO THAT, A SOCIETY NEEDS RULES FOR WITHOUT GUIDELINES FOR ACTION AND BEHAVIOR, CHAOS RESULTS.  UNFORTUNATELY WE INSTEAD HAVE SUPPOSED "LEADERS" WHO FEED THE ANGER OR REMAIN SILENT TO THE TRUTH. IN RECENT YEARS WE HAVE SEEN A MAJOR INCREASE IN RIOTING, MURDER IN THE STREETS AND OTHER INDICATIONS THAT AMERICA IS LOSING CONTROL OF HERSELF.  VIOLENCE AND OTHER FORMS OF CHAOS DESTROY COMMUNITY COHESIVENESS AND THERE IS PLENTY OF BLAME TO GO AROUND IN MANY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. OUR LOCAL POLICE SEEM TO BE THE  BRUNT OF IT ALL. AND I'LL BE THE FIRST TO AGREE THAT THEY MAKE MISTAKES AND SOMETIMES USE POOR JUDGMENT.  BUT KEEP IN MIND, OFTEN THEY HAVE TO MAKE A SPLIT SECOND DECISION WHERE THE APPROACH THEY TAKE CAN BE AN INSTANTANEOUS LIFE AND DEATH DECISION BOTH FOR THEMSELVES AND THOSE THEY ARE TRYING TO SERVE.  WHAT WE NEED IS A DISCUSSION IN A CIVIL AND POLITE MANNER, NOT ANGRY SCREAMING AND YELLING THAT NEVER SOLVES ANYTHING.  FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF FERGUSON, NEW YORK CITY, AND BALTIMORE, WE'VE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE TRAVELING AGITATORS WHO ONLY WANT TO FEED THE FLAMES.  AND THOSE FLAMES DESTROY COMMUNITIES, KILL PEOPLE, AND CAUSE MANY WHO HAVE DONE NOTHING TO COWER IN THEIR HOMES, AFRAID TO GO ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS.

LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM, SENATOR RAND PAUL GRABBED THE BULL BY THE HORNS, TOOK THE ISSUE INTO FILIBUSTER MODE AND LIT A SPARK THAT STARTED RAGING. AND DESPITE THE URGING AND PUSH BACK FROM HIS MAJORITY LEADER, MITCH MCCONNELL, HE WOULDN'T RELENT AND ULTIMATELY THE SENATE HAD TO BACK DOWN AND ACCEPT THE HOUSE LEGISLATION WHICH PUT A HALT TO INDISCRIMINATE DATA MINING OF YOUR PHONES.  OH, THE PHONE COMPANIES WILL STILL HOLD THE DATA, BUT FOR GOVERNMENT SLEUTHS TO ACCESS THAT DATA, THEY MUST GET A WARRANT AND, HERE'S THE BEST PART, THE COURT HAS TO MAINTAIN RECORDS OF THE REASONING. I BRING THIS UP AS A FACTOR OF LIFE SINCE TODAY WE SPEND EXTENSIVE TIME ON THE PHONE TALKING WITH FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND WE DON'T EXPECT OUR GOVERNMENT TO ABUSE THEIR DUTIES BECAUSE SOME BUREAUCRAT OR POLITICIAN THINKS IT IS A GOOD IDEA.  FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND A RIGHT TO PRIVACY BY LAW ABIDING CITIZENS SHOULD NEVER BE AT RISK; THE GOVERNMENT CAN EASILY GET THE APPROVAL FOR ACTION WHERE PROBABLY CAUSE IS AVAILABLE.

BUT THAT IS JUST PART OF THE REASON SINCE AMERICA IS GREATLY DIVIDED TODAY JUST LIKE IT WAS IN 1860 AND PRIOR TO THAT IN REVOLUTIONARY WAR TIMES, BUT THAT REALLY SHOULDN'T SUPRISE ANYONE FOR HISTORY SHOWS THAT AMERICA HAS ALWAYS HAD GREAT DIVISIONS BUT WHEN CRUNCH TIME CAME AND ACTION WAS NECESSARY WE HAVE ALWAYS IN THE END COME TOGETHER TO MAKE HER STRONGER. SO A DIVIDED COUNTRY IS JUST PART OF OUR HISTORY AND OUR LIVE AND WE WILL DISCUSS THE THINGS THAT HAVE CAUSED THIS BOTH FROM AN HISTORICAL POINT OF VIEW AS WELL AS OUR CURRENT SITUATION.

TONIGHT WE'LL TALK A LITTLE ABOUT FACING REALITY: IN OUR HOMES, SCHOOLS, WORK, GOVERNMENT, CHURCH AND EVEN LEISURE.  LET'S TRY TO TAKE CARE OF OUR REAL NEEDS BEFORE WE GO AFTER THE WANTS.  IT WILL SAVE US A LOT OF GRIEF AND A LOT OF AGGRAVATION.  SEE YOU TONIGHT AT 9 (ET) 00:20:00North Florida Writer LivenoNORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE,ECON 101,SUPPLY AND DEMAND,WANTS AND NEEDS,LIFESTYLE ISSUESIMAGINE A WORLD OF UNLIMITED RESOURCES AND MONEY WHERE WE COULD ALL DO AS MUCH AS WE WANT AND USE AS MUCH AS WE WANT WITHOUT EVERY HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT RUNNINGhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2015/05/27/the-impact-of-common-core-on-our-kisLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2015/05/27/the-impact-of-common-core-on-our-kis/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2015/05/27/the-impact-of-common-core-on-our-kisWed, 27 May 2015 01:00:00 GMTJUST SAY NO TO COMMON CORE WITH GUEST MEG NORRISCOMMON CORE IS SWEEPING THE COUNTRY, LARGELY BY EDICT FROM SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS AND THEIR POLITICAL CRONIES.  BUT BLOWBACK IS GAINING STEAM AS MORE AND MORE PARENTS LOOK AT THE PROGRAM AND ITS CURRICULUM AND FIND IT WANTING.  SO WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR KIDS AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE SURE THEIR BEST INTERESTS ARE WHAT IS DONE? WE ARE PLEASED TO HAVE MEG NORRIS OF GEORGIA AS OUR GUEST TONIGHT ON NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE. MEG IS A GEORGIA CERTIFIED TEACHER WHO LEFT HER PROFESSION AFTER WATCHING THE FRUSTRATION OF HER CONFUSED SEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS WITH THE COMMON CORE CURRICULUM.  SHE JUST REALIZED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE ANSWER TO IMPROVING EDUCATION AND HAS SINCE COMMITTED HERSELF TO AN ACTIVIST ROLE IN STOPPING THIS CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF EDUCATION.  MEG IS TIRELESS;  FOUNDED SEVERAL FACEBOOK SITES FOR THE CAUSE INCLUDING OPT OUT GEORGIA AND GEORGIANS TO STOP COMMON CORE. SHE IS ALSO A CANDIDATE FOR A DOCTORATE IN EDUCATION AND TRAVELS EXTENSIVELY TO FIGHT THE BATTLE NOT JUST IN GEORGIA BUT AROUND THE NATION.  SHE ALSO IS A FIRM BELIEVER IN CLASSICAL EDUCATION WITH THE NEED FOR A STUDENT TO TAKE NOTES, WRITE IN CURSIVE, AND READ REAL BOOKS (NOT JUST COMPUTER SCREENS), AND USE PAPER, PENCIL AND CRAYONS.  YOUNG BRAINS NEED HANDS ON PRACTICALITY TO LEARN. IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT COMMON CORE, AND YOU SHOULD, THE DISCUSSION SHOULD BE VALUABLE FOR PARENTS AND TAXPAYERS ALIKE.  IF IT GOES THROUGH AS THE POLITICAL ELITES WOULD LIKE, WE'LL ALL PAY THE PRICE. 01:24:00North Florida Writer LivenoCOMMON CORE,CLASSICAL EDUCATION,CRONY CAPITALISM,FREEDOM,OPPORTUNITYCOMMON CORE IS SWEEPING THE COUNTRY, LARGELY BY EDICT FROM SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS AND THEIR POLITICAL CRONIES.  BUT BLOWBACK IS GAINING STEAM AS MORE AND MOREhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2015/05/26/a-north-florida-writer-short-take-imagine3Lifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2015/05/26/a-north-florida-writer-short-take-imagine3/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/northfloridawriterlive/2015/05/26/a-north-florida-writer-short-take-imagine3Tue, 26 May 2015 01:00:00 GMTA North Florida Writer "Short Take": Imagine(3)........TONIGHT'S SHORT TAKE WILL BE ABOUT A SPECIAL PEEVE OF MINE: THE PERILS OF DINING OUT.  AND NO, IN THIS SHORT OPINION PIECE I'M NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RESTAURANT OR THE WAIT STAFF.  LET'S JUST ASSUME THAT THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT, THE SERVICE IS GREAT AND THE AMBIANCE OF THE LAYOUT AND ACCOUTREMENTS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT ARE SUPERB.  WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IS THE BEHAVIOR, PRESENTATION AND ATTITUDE OF SOME OF THE DINERS WHO RUIN A NICE EVENING FOR EVERYONE.  I KNOW THAT ALL OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS.

THIS IS MY INTRODUCTORY EPISODE IN THE LIFESTYLE CATEGORY AS I NOW EMBARK ON MY INDEPENDENT SHOW. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ME ON CONSERVATIVE REPORT RADIO, BUT NOW NORTH FLORIDA WRITER IS ON ITS OWN WITH A NEW FORMAT.  SO, FOLKS, WELCOME TO NORTH FLORIDA WRITER RADIO. WE'RE GOING TO DEVOTE OUR PROGRAMMING TO LIFE AND LIVING IT. WE'LL TALK ABOUT SOME CHALLENGES BUT ALSO MORE IMPORTANTLY ABOUT WHAT GOT YOU AND ME WHERE WE ARE TODAY.  IT'S YOUR FAMILY, YOUR UPBRINGING, YOUR SPIRITUALLY; ALL YOUR EXPERIENCES AND ALL THOSE THINGS THAT PUT YOU TOGETHER. FOR MANY OF US IT INVOLVES GOD AND COUNTRY AND A DEEP SENSE OF REVERENCE FOR WHAT WE HOLD DEAR. NOSTALGIC MEMORIES AND OUR REMINISCENCE HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT AS WELL. I REALIZE THAT WE HAVE MAJOR DIFFERENCES BUT THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE CAN'T TALK AND LAUGH TOGETHER. LIFE'S TO SHORT TO BE ANGRY AND ANTAGONISTIC TO ONE ANOTHER. WE'LL JUST TOUCH THE EDGES TONIGHT, BUT THEN WE'LL GO OFF IN MANY DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS ON NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE IN THE DAYS TO COME.  YOU MIGHT WANT TO ALSO VISIT MY WEBSITE AND BLOG AT NORTHFLORIDAWRITER.COM TO LEARN WHAT MAKES ME TICK.  IN ANY EVENT, THE PLAN IS TO LAUGH, MAYBE CRY A LITTLE, BUT ALWAYS CELEBRATE WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE GOT WHERE WE ARE.  WE DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS AGREE, BUT WE CAN LEARN MUCH FROM EACH OTHER.  THE PICTURES ROTATING HERE WILL TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT ME, BUT THERE IS ALSO A SURPRISE. FOR WHILE I AM A COUNTRY BOY, I WAS FIRST A CITY BOY.  THE COUNTRY CAME WITH TIME AND EXPERIENCE. LIFE: IT ONLY COMES AROUND ONCE ON THIS EARTH FOR EACH OF US. LET'S USE IT WISELY.  http://www.northfloridawriter.com/blog/torpedo-got-a-name-change   00:51:00North Florida Writer LivenoNORTH FLORIDA WRITER,COUNTRY BOY,NOSTALGIA,LIFE AND LIVING IT,FAMILYHI, I'M JAMES DICK YOUR HOST AND I'M HAPPY TO PRESENT THE FIRST EDITION OF MY NEW FORMAT ON BLOGTALK RADIO.
