While in Bathurst, I received many email telling me that Brian Duplessis wrote a column on me.


2525065085_5a93623361


It was nice of the guy to write such a positive column about this Blogger.

Once I got back from the Capital on Friday? Many people save a copy of the column.

I will admit that I was scared shitless once I was the huge Headline.

Why would the Irvings allowed such a big headline?

The calm before the storm???

Some other story is coming?

Nahhhhh....maybe it's only this blogger who is paranoid???

To Brian Duplessis? I say a big Merci Beaucoup!!!

I guess the Government is spending $250,000 to come up with one.

CBC is having fun with this one.

I like this one - COME TO NEW BRUNSWICK WHERE YOU WON'T GET SHOT!!!!

So true!!! I've been saying this for years. Where else can a Premier, the Irvings can freely walk the streets without any bodyguards?

Where else can a blogger give his views on issues without being shot?

Lets give it a try in this blog. What's your slogan????

BLOGGERS TO BE JAILED IN CANADA???

I would quickly join them!!!

Here's the email -

Charles,


I admire what your doing. Until recently, I had an activist blog as well.

Out of fear, I removed it. Lately, I have been reading in the news about laws being passed in the United States that could effect bloggers.

Apparently anyone who speaks out, for any reason & against any government, is suseptable to being indoctrinated by terrorists.

Therefore, they must be rounded up and jailed.

Bloggers are specifically mentioned. It is believed bloggers have a certain mindset that makes them more likely than most to join terrorists organizations.

Even the homeless and mentally ill, they claim, are vulnerable to being turned into terrorists and therefore must be jailed.

They presently have legislation before Congress.

They are already doing this in Iraq and once
this law is enacted, it will be happening in the USA too. Part of this new law will also make possessing online documents, searching for online documents & reading online documents, a crime. W

hat documents you may ask.

That's been left a very grey area. After doing a massive amount of research,

I have come to the conclusion that it is no longer safe to blog about anything other than your hair style.

The fact that we are in Canada won't make any difference, as we will all see in the too near future. My purpose in writing to you is simply to warn you to be very, very careful. Don't be naive enough to think your name isn't going to end up on a list, if it isn't already, for future use.

And being a Canadian won't matter. Good luck with what your trying to achieve.

SPIRITUAL LIVING
Prayer and Devotions

Rejected at Homecoming
by Matthew Reinhardt, Regnum Christi

Resolution: Be joyful in experiencing rejection today. Have faith in Christ.

February 25, 2008
Monday of the third week of Lent

Luke 4: 24-30
And he said, "Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in the prophet's hometown. But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a severe famine over all the land; yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. There were also many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian. "When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff. But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way.

Introductory Prayer: Lord Jesus, I am aware of your presence; you are right next to me and dwelling within my soul. I believe you are my Lord and my God, and I place my trust in you because you are all-powerful. I love you, Jesus, because I was created by you and for you. Help me prove my love through great effort in this prayer.

Petition: Lord, give me resilience when faced with rejection.

1. Rejected From his birth to his death, Christ’s life was plagued with rejection. There was no room for him at the inn in Bethlehem, and he was cast off into the cold night. Herod feared his kingship and sent an army to kill the babe, and so he was exiled to Egypt. Rejected by the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the scribes and the Synagogues, “he came to his own and his own did not receive him” (John 1:11). The list goes on and on: the rich young man, Judas, Pilate, the Roman soldiers, and even one of those crucified next to him. In this passage the people of his own town (and among them surely some of his relatives) want to “hurl him off the cliff.” Christ and his message were signs of contradiction, and this often brought rejection. The same holds true today. Christ wants me to be ready for it. Am I?

2. Emboldened Effort in prayer is a sure way to prepare myself for the everyday “rejection” that comes with following Christ. These “rejections” come in many shapes and sizes: the consequences of faithfully living out the teachings of my Catholic faith, justly disciplining a disobedient child, standing up for an unpopular truth among family and friends, or simply speaking of God in a casual encounter with someone at the grocery store. With Christ by my side I can be resilient in front of any type of rejection. He taught me the way to respond to rejection as “he passed through the midst of them and went on his way.” Rejection did not cause our Lord to shrink into himself but rather emboldened him to continue living and preaching his message of love.

3. Passionate What does Christ do after being rejected in his hometown? In the very next passage, St. Luke presents him teaching in Capernaum, where “they were astonished at his teaching for his word was with authority” (Luke 4:31-32). Our Lord never missed a beat: not only was he emboldened by rejection, but he preached with ever greater passion and zeal after experiencing it. St. Paul confronted rejection in a similar way. On one occasion he was dragged out of the city of Lystra and stoned. All thought he was dead. He wasn’t, and upon waking up, he returned to the city and continued his ministry (cf. Acts 14:19-20). This is the type of apostle Christ needs in today’s world, and I am called to be his apostle.

Conversation with Christ: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness or peril or the sword? For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:35-39).

Resolution: I will take joy in some rejection, large or small, I experience today because of my faith in Christ.

FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD TO THE SCUM OF THE EARTH IN A MATTER OF MONTHS!!!!

Last week, I was approached by someone with an interesting story.

It's a tale of a guy who was on top of the world but came down pretty hard.

He used to be the owner of the City Motel in Fredericton.



00034


His name is Jim.

Jim was doing ok until his whole world came crashing down. I mean REALLY DOWN!!!

Until his downfall, he used to mingle with the higher ups of society.

He leased the City Motel for 10 years. I might add that he also owned the Lobster Hut which was attached to the Motel.

Many politicians would stay over night in that building. Ohhhhh???? If walls could talk??? But Jim sure can!!!!

Jim took his business very seriously!

He told me that if he was still the owner of the Motel and he would have seen this blogger in the building? He would have asked me to leave the area. I wouldn't even be allowed in the parking lot. Only if I was invited to the motel by the politicians in advance.

He made certain the MLA'S had privacy from the media.

Speaking of privacy? He went so far as building this back door so they could maintain their privacy.


0004000038


A meeting was arranged and I met with Jim.

He told me some very interesting tales raging from the politicians to the way the Fredericton Police Force handled his case.

Especially the story he told the Government that he would go public with some stories he seen in his motel?

The Government quickly reacted. It was sort of like my case of telling our elected officials that I would go public with the murder? < This is the only reason I was told that I was banned from the Legislature >

The Liberals quickly told me that they would haul me in court for Harassment!!!

I explained to Jim I was a blogger and anyone can become a journalist by writing their story and I'll blog it.

Too bad my recorder is broken because I would have just interviewed the guy. So we have to do it the hard way.

The interesting issue on this one? It was a Civil matter and the media still managed to put the story on the front page.


motel1



Also added was the Fredericton Police Force supervised the eviction.

What's with this????

Once this hit the front page? Jim’s life began his downward spiral.

Jim was the type of guy who was involved in all kinds of political events and he had a Carte Blanche to visit the P.C’S in their building but all this came to a sudden halt once he was told - In the future, he would have to make an appointment.

Jim didn't like the way he was treated so he threaten to go public with his stories of going ons in his Motel.



00041


Well, he ended up in a mental ward for three months because of other issues.

Well? After chatting with the guy, he didn't look coo coo to me?

He sounded very sincere with his emotional stories.

I'll be blogging the tales during the next few weeks.



jim


Stay tuned....

P.S. I hope I'm not shot on the streets because of this one?

Truly stay tuned....

Prayer and Devotions

Shocking Transformation
by Matthew Reinhardt, Regnum Christi

Resolution: Invite someone to go to Sunday Mass today.

February 24, 2008
Third Sunday of Lent

John 4: 5-42
So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?" Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life." The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back." The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband'; for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!" The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us." Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who is speaking to you." Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you speaking with her?" Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, "Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?" They left the city and were on their way to him. Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, "Rabbi, eat something." But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about." So the disciples said to one another, "Surely no one has brought him something to eat?" Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work. Do you not say, 'Four months more, then comes the harvest'? But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, 'One sows and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor." Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I have ever done." So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world."

Introductory Prayer: Lord, thank you for these moments of silent prayer. I need you to transform me, because I can do nothing without your grace. I open my heart to embrace the plan you have for me on this day. Only with your grace can I be faithful to everything you ask of me.

Petition: Lord, shock me in this prayer. Radically transform my life!

1. “Christ”: Politically Correct? On a cold December night in Iowa in 1999, the Republican Party primary debate was coming to an end. One of the final questions posed to the six candidates was, “What political philosopher or thinker do you most identify with and why?” When it came to then-Governor George W. Bush, he answered, “Christ, because he changed my heart.” After a weighty pause the moderator said, “I think the viewer would like to know more on how he’s changed your heart” to which Bush responded, “Well, if they don’t know, it’s going to be hard to explain. When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart. It changes your life. And that’s what happened to me.”

2. Shocking Transformation A change of heart and a change of life is what happened to the Samaritan woman when she unexpectedly came across Christ, who was tired out from his long journey. When they first meet, she addresses Jesus simply as “a Jew.” As her respect grows for the man sitting by the well, she begins to call him “Sir.” Jesus opens her heart to conversion, and she states, “You are a prophet.” As our Lord begins to quench her thirst for divine love, she sees in him the possibility of freedom from her broken life: “He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” Her thirst is satiated when Christ reveals himself as the Messiah, and she is totally transformed. With her heart and life now forever changed, she exclaims with the whole town, “We know that this is truly the Savior of the world.”

3. An Apostle Is Born Who is Jesus Christ for me? Is he simply a historical figure who lived 2,000 years ago? Maybe Jesus is just someone to be respected for the many human achievements he accomplished during his life? Or he is a savior once loved, but now somewhat forgotten? As Catholics, Christ must be everything for us! He is the Messiah, the Savior of the world. If my vision of Christ has been fogged by routine, temptations, and the ups-and-downs of life, I need a change of heart and a change of life. Christ did this to the Samaritan woman 2,000 years ago, and he can do it to me today. Allow him to transform you in this prayer, so with him you can transform the world!

Conversation with Christ: Lord Jesus, I am amazed at the transformation of the Samaritan woman. One short conversation with you, and her broken life was restored with meaning and an important mission. You know my need for you, Lord, so I beg you to transform me today and throughout Lent, to prepare my soul for Holy Week.

Resolution: I will invite someone to go to Sunday Mass today.
