To those who are critical of Danny Williams for going to the United States for cardiac surgery, I say, "leave Danny alone."
What would you do if you had the money and didn't want to wait in line for months for medical care? I would do exactly what Danny did. Even the leftist Jack Layton would.
Instead of bashing Danny, figure out a way to make more money so you can take care of yourself and your loved ones, and not have to depend on our wonderful Canadian Health Care System.
And leave Danny alone.

People Helping People
Yesterday, January 1, 2010 I watched Oprah and 20/20. Both shows had very uplifting stories. The story on Oprah was about families in North Carolina who began, in 2007, to adopt orphans from Liberia (Africa), and who are still at it.
The 20/20 story was about the true story on which the movie The Blind Side is based. When I first heard about The Blind Side I thought it was a work of fiction so I didn't go to see it, and now that I know the true story I still won't go to see it.
Both stories were very beautiful and moving. They were great starts to the year.

Tiger Woods
It's time to get off Tiger's back. Leave him alone. Yes, he made mistakes but so have all of us. He is a young man, 33, with millions of dollars at his disposal. The temptations must have been too much for him to resist. Would any of us in a similar situation be able to resist the temptations?
And the women with whom he was intimate are also guilty of making mistakes. They all have their blemishes, their warts, their skeletons in their closets.
As the bible says, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Also, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Many of those who now mock Tiger and make fun of him are themselves far from perfect.
It's time for all of us to leave Tiger alone and get on with our lives.

Awakened Imagination & The Search
I am a Neville Goddard fan. I have read many of his lectures and they have helped me in dealing with every day life situations.
Quite by accident I found one of his books online at http://www.scribd.com/ and downloaded it. The title of the book is the title of this post. It is also available at http://www.amazon.com/ . It's a short book and an enlightening read. Neville's explanations are so clear and make perfect sense to me.
Here are a few quotes from the book:
"Truth depends upon the intensity of the imagination, not upon external facts. Facts are the fruit bearing witness of the use or misuse of the imagination."
"It is a marvellous thing to find that you can imagine yourself into the state of your fulfilled desire and escape from the jails which ignorance built."
"The imaginative image is the only thing to seek."
"Life is a controllable thing."
"Your outer world is only actualized inner movement. Through ignorance of the law of revision, those who take to warfare are perpetually defeated."
"It is possible to resolve every situation by the proper use of the imagination."
I urge you to download or buy this book, and to read it.

Curse Not The King
Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Ecclesiastes 10:20
In his lecture The Game of Life, Neville Goddard (Neville) quotes Ecclesiastes 10:20. This wisdom was given to man over two thousand years ago but how many know this? How many adhere to it?
In modern times, some teachers have warned us about the dangers of gossiping. My father used to tell us that we were to say nothing if we had nothing good to say. It’s the same teaching – curse not the King. When we do, we are creating negative energy which is not beneficial to anyone. In fact, such negative energy does harm to the creator of the energy and to others.
On occasion I have pointed out to those who railed against the government and what they should be doing, that the government has no money and that it is us, the taxpayers, who fund whatever the government does. In this same lecture Neville said, “The government has no money and can only give what it takes from our pockets.”
The Game of Life is full of many such nuggets and is worth reading and studying.

40th Wedding Anniversary
August 29, 2009 was my 40th wedding anniversary. Forty years. I have been married for 40 years. When I married my wife I never thought about how long we would be married. Back in those days the thought of divorce never crossed one's mind. It was a given that one would be married for life, and that whatever challenges arose would be faced and overcome together. Things seem to be quite different now.
Were there challenges? Of course. They are part of life and we just dealt with them the best we could. We did not attend a "how to deal with challenges" course, so we did our best, and things have turned out quite well. We have three wonderful sons, and as we have grown older together, we have come to understand each other better and have grown closer to each other.
Is there a secret to a long marriage? No. There are no secrets. Unless it is to decide to stay married for life and to work things out.

The Solution Is To Make More Money
While here, you must pay the price of living in the world of Caesar. You may criticize our politicians and protest any raise in taxes, but you will continue to be taxed. All you have to do is learn the art of prayer and make more money.
I am reminded of a story told of the late President Kennedy. It seems his father - who had, in one generation, made something like four-hundred million dollars - complained that his children were spending too much money. At a banquet, President Kennedy said: "The only solution to this problem is for father to make more money."
- Neville Goddard in his lecture The Secret of Prayer
I find it very interesting that Neville, a Christian mystic well-versed in the Bible, would recommend using prayer to make more money. The majority of Christian preachers and teachers downplay the importance of money in our lives, and their followers often mis-quote the Bible to support their views. Such individuals seem to have forgotten that two of Jehovah's most-beloved, King David and Job, were exceedingly blessed in material possessions.
