Is Bernard Richard Booklets a waste of money????
I wonder how much longer Bernard will stay as this Province Ombudsman???
9-11 - WHERE WERE YOU ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001????
I was living in East Saint John. I woke up and saw the twin towers on fire.
At first, I believe it was an accident such as when a plane hit the Empire State Building years ago.
To this day many believe it the Americans themselves who were behind this attack!!!
I don’t think so but what the hell do I know?
I remember attending a few Church services after the attack.
Where were you on September 11th, 2001?
GOD'S MINUTE!!!
THEN JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, "IF ANYONE WOULD
COME AFTER ME, HE MUST DENY HIMSELF AND TAKE
UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME."
( MATTHEW 16:24 *NIV )
Dear Charles,
We all have crosses to bear in this life. Perhaps your cross
may seen like a heavy one, however if you look around you will
find others with a much bigger one than yourself.
Therefore when your "cross" seems to heavy remember
that God is there helping you carry it. After all God has said,
"NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE
YOU." ( HEBREWS 13:5 )
So put your faith in God, and remember that Jesus said,
"DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED. TRUST IN
GOD; TRUST ALSO IN ME. ( JOHN 14:1 ) Then let the
wings of faith uphold you, uphold you indeed!
May the wings of faith uphold you
When your cross is hard to bear,
As temptations surround you,
And no one seems to care.
May the wings of faith surround you
And shield you from the pain
When sorrows overcome you
And teardrops fall like rain.
May you know that God is with you
In times of deep despair.
May the spirit, who's within you,
Confirm that He is there!
May the valley of the shadow
Provide angels unaware...
May the wings of faith uphold you
When your cross is hard to bear.
Poet, Clay Harrison
In HIS Love & Service,
Pastor Allen

Child porn could be in your computer? Very scary stuff!!!!
George Butters wrote this story for the Globe and Mail. Very scary stuff!!!!!
The Internet has become a place one veteran police officer and father of six calls a virtual wasteland.
"For all intents and purposes, the Internet is basically rotten with porn and child porn," says RCMP Corporal Jim Gillis, the head of Project Horizon, a regional policing initiative based in Halifax that deals with on-line child pornography.
He said the Internet porn industry generates about $57-billion annually worldwide and supports more than four million websites consisting of more than 370 million pages. Of that, he says, there are more than 100,000 child porn sites raking in about $2.5-billion a year.
"And those pictures are images of a crime in progress," he says.
But stemming the tide hasn't been easy, and innocent homeowners and businesses often play an unwitting role in the criminal activity.
"The largest problems we face," says Detective Sergeant Paul Gillespie of Metro Toronto's Internet sex crime squad, "are the technological advances that the bad guys are certainly taking advantage of."
Those advances include encryption, steganography (hiding information in images or other files), software designed to eliminate evidence and defeat attempts at data retrieval, highly portable storage devices such as keychain drives and memory-equipped watches, on-line libraries, advanced cellphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), freenets, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels, and botnets (networks of infected computers used to distribute or store porn, unbeknownst to their owners).
"This is where they're hiding it. And it works," he says.
Det. Sgt. Gillespie says more than half a million child porn images are circulating, representing between 50,000 and 100,000 different victims. A growing part of the problem stems from "bot" (short for robot) software planted by some computer viruses to turn machines into electronic "zombies" that can be controlled remotely by hackers. The machines usually appear to operate normally to their users, but they could be surreptitiously relaying child-porn-related traffic or storing illegal images to keep criminals safe from detection.
According to RCMP Corporal Jacques Boucher, a member of the Atlantic Tech Crime Unit, criminals are using thousands of infected computers around the world gathered into zombie armies called botnets. They can be used for anything from extortion and hiding the source of massive e-mail spamming operations, to trafficking in child porn.
"Why should Mr. Pornographer buy a computer from Dell when he can use yours?" asks Ray Freeman, vice-president of business development for PresiNet Systems, a five-year-old Victoria company providing managed security services to small and mid-sized businesses.
He says that despite the best of intentions, many homeowners and businesses fail to provide and maintain adequate security. "Nobody has looked at the firewall logs to see what happened last year, never mind last night."
Mr. Freeman says it's impossible to thwart 100 per cent of malicious attacks in an environment as dynamic and changeable as the Internet, but people should ensure they have basic anti-virus, firewall and network protection in place. "There are too many holes in the castle wall," he says. "You need to have sentries watching the traffic going in and out, in real time, looking for anomalous patterns."
Suspected child pornography sites can now be reported on-line at Cybertip.ca, a federally funded site operated by Child Find Manitoba that was officially launched in Canada this week. Law-enforcement agencies from three continents have also launched a site, www.virtualglobaltaskforce.com, aimed at deterring and preventing on-line exploitation of children. It combines the efforts of law-enforcement agencies and industry in Canada, Britain, Australia and the United States, as well as Interpol, under an international alliance of law-enforcement agencies known as the Virtual Global Taskforce.
And later this month, the Child Exploitation Tracking System comes out of beta testing and goes into national operation. This initiative resulted from Det. Sgt. Gillespie's e-mail to Microsoft founder Bill Gates pleading for help in stemming the tide of on-line child pornography. It promises to help police forces share information and streamline the management of large volumes of data.
But while few would argue against tough measures aimed at the creators and distributors of child pornography, there is growing concern about the criminalization of simple possession or one-time viewing of illegal material.
"Some members of law enforcement say that anyone who has this on their [computer] system is guilty of a crime, regardless of how it got there," says data recovery expert Doug Coughey, president and CEO of Recovery Force Inc. of Guelph, Ont. "I think that's bull."
Some private computer consultants, particularly those called in to conduct forensic examinations, are including a clause in their contracts that they will report to police any illegal content, such as child pornography, that they find on their clients' computer networks. But Mr. Coughey points out that if a computer was ever infected by a virus, worm or trojan, or if the user has ever experienced dozens of windows (called popups) suddenly filling the computer screen while surfing the Net, chances are good there is illegal material on the hard drive.
"It would curl your hair what I found on some of these machines" during routine data recovery efforts, Mr. Coughey says.
Although current practices may turn up some false-positives, law enforcement officials vow to keep up the pressure in what is proving to be a difficult battle. Despite busts such as this week's arrest by Toronto police of a man accused of distributing thousands of child porn images around the world, Det. Sgt. Gillespie says estimates from Interpol and the Federal Bureau of Investigation suggest fewer than 400 cases worldwide have been cracked.
"It's staggeringly low," Det. Sgt. Gillespie told delegates to the second annual conference on privacy, security and trust in Fredericton last fall sponsored by the National Research Council. His message: "If we all work together, we might be able to make a difference."

Is that fair game???
A two Minutes God's Minute!!!!
I for got to blog one yesterday...I had a busy day...
And Jesus said, "HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY, BUT
MY WORD WILL NEVER PASS AWAY!"
( MATTHEW 24:35 *NIV )
Dear Charles,
Most people naturally assume that the Books of the New
Testament were written in the order that they appear in the Bible.
Now you may be surprised to learn that many of the Letters of the
Apostle Paul were actually written before the Gospels of Matthew,
Mark, Luke & John. For those Gospels were some of the last
books to be written, even though they appear as the first four
Books of The New Testament.
This is because, it is believed, the Apostles of Jesus Christ
were so convinced that He would return during their lifetime, that
they didn't feel the need to write them. It wasn't until they became
much older that they realized that His return would probably not
occur until after their deaths. It was then that they wrote them
for the generations of the future.
So today we will take a look at the actual year that each Book
of the New Testament was written!
Book: Written By: Approximate Date:
GALATIANS [Apostle Paul] 49 A.D.
JAMES [James half-brother of Jesus'] 49 A.D.
1 & 2 THESSALONIANS [Apostle Paul] 51/52 A.D.
1 & 2 CORINTHIANS [Apostle Paul} 55 A.D.
ROMANS [Apostle Paul} 57 A.D.
MARK [John Mark} 58/60 A.D.
EPHESIANS [Apostle Paul] 60 A.D.
COLOSSIANS [Apostle Paul] 60 A.D.
PHILEMON [Apostle Paul] 60 A.D.
PHILIPPIANS [Apostle Paul] 61 A.D.
MATTHEW [Apostle Matthew*] 61/64 A.D.
LUKE [Apostle Luke*] 61/64 A.D.
JUDE [Jude half-brother of Jesus'] 65 A.D.
1 TIMOTHY [Apostle Paul] 64 A.D.
1 PETER [Apostle Peter*] 64/65 A.D.
TITUS [Apostle Paul] 64 A.D.
ACTS [Apostle Luke*] 66/68 A.D.
2 PETER [Apostle Peter*] 66/68 A.D.
2 TIMOTHY [Apostle Paul] 66/67 A.D.
HEBREWS [Apostle Paul] 68/70 A.D.
JOHN [Apostle John*] 85 A.D.
1, 2, 3 JOHN [Apostle John*] 85/90 A.D.
REVELATION [Apostle John*] 95 A.D.

IF ANY OF YOU LACKS WISDOM, HE SHOULD ASK GOD,
WHO GIVES GENEROUSLY TO ALL WITHOUT FINDING
FAULT, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO HIM.
( JAMES 1:5 *NIV )
Dear Charles,
When you are in need of an answer to one of life's problems,
and cannot find the answer, always turn to God's Word. FOR
THE LORD GIVES WISDOM, AND FROM HIS MOUTH COMES
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. THEN YOU WILL
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS RIGHT AND JUST AND FAIR--EVERY
GOOD PATH. FOR KNOWLEDGE WILL BE PLEASANT TO
YOUR SOUL. DISCRETION WILL PROTECT YOU, AND
UNDERSTANDING WILL GUARD YOU.
( PROVERBS 2:6; 9; 10; 11 )
Also when we turn to the Bible GOD has promised us that:
"I WILL INSTRUCT YOU AND TEACH YOU IN THE WAY THAT
YOU SHOULD GO; I WILL COUNSEL YOU AND WATCH OVER
YOU." ( PSALM 32:8)
He further promised that when we are faced with a decision, if
we ask Him what to do, He will tell us. For it is written:
WHETHER YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT, YOUR
EARS WILL HEAR A VOICE BEHIND YOU, SAYING, "THIS IS
THE WAY; WALK IN IT." ( ISAIAH 30:21 )
So Charles, why try to face life's problems alone, for that
can be a losing battle. After all you have the awesome power of
GOD waiting to lead you! So why not: COMMIT TO THE LORD
WHATEVER YOU DO, AND YOUR PLANS WILL SUCCEED.
( PROVERBS 16:3) Then the next time that you ask "What
Would Jesus Do," you may just pick up your Bible and read all
about it in the Gospel's. Amen.
In HIS Love & Service,
Pastor Allen

Dan Bussieres - Just the two of us!!!!
Just the Two of Us
Bill Withers
I see the crystal raindrops fall
And see the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you some time
And I want to spend some time with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted waters's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait to late
We got to go for all we know
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you
