John L. Rasmussen's thoughts on the Web

It's been a while since the last post...so here's the latest!

I have been sidelined so to speak with continued pain in my feet , knees, and Charlie horses in my legs off and on since the last post.
Your prayers are greatly appreciated. There is so much to pray about these days with the Earthquake and all that is going on in different places that praying for me might be secondary! However, Say one for me when you can. I am still doing things here and there. I managed to give out some 1000 Pocket calender cards since October and thru Christmas. Distributed " Our Daily Breads" and even now continue to put out what I have left of the last shipment. I also have given out probably 200 Imprinted pens of the 450 in supply, with a Smiley Face and the imprint of  "Jesus Loves You!" and Three of my websites on them. I tell you this as only a testiment of the power of God working through me to continue dispite a few challenges. I so want to continue to be obedient in all that the Lord would have me do. I don't know how good I am at discernment. So pray for me in this area. It is a Goal I believe of the Lord to Travel and put out 1000 Jesus Loves You! Smiley Tracts at Disneyworld. It's an easy assignment , but someone has to do it, I'm glad I am chosen to do so. It's just waiting on his supply for the funds to travel. I am so ready for a breakthrough in all areas of my life and want to do my part. The Smiley Tracts are already stamped with my blog and Gospel website on them. Pray about where you might fit into being a part of this ministry. You may go to www.ontractforjesusministries.org  and read alittle about it. Some of the content may need to be changed. I haven't come up with a site
to make donations. I hit a snag about creating a website to do this. Pray about God's will in this area. I am just waiting on him, hopefully I am still in his timing. If you want to become one of my Facebook Friends I think this is the link for people if you are already a Facebook person, or want to become one, Go to: www.facebook.com/jlrasmussen  .  Pray for Haiti and its people, you can go to my ministry blog and read about where to make a donation. Thank you for continued prayer for my ministry, my family and me. Looking forward to a great Year! in Christ our soon and coming King! Be Ready!  www.jrsblogspot.com

Jesus Love and mine!

What if..... 

    	

    		
 I recieved this from a friend by email. If you voted for Obama, please know that I respect your opinion. Pray for me as I pray for you.
God Bless you!


….forget whether you’re a Democrat or Republican for a minute and think about this. Read the following and think how you would have reacted: 


What if.....George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? 
 
What if George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? 
 
What if George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky? 

What if George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved? 
 
What if George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Au strian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? 
 
What if George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved? 
 
What if George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment? 
 
What if George W. Bush had miss-spelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as "proof" of what a dunce he is? 
 
What if George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on "Earth Day", would you have concluded he's a hypocrite? 
 
What if George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually "get" what happened on 9-11? 
 
What if George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? 
 
What if George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? 
 
What if George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? 
 
What if George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved? 
 
What if George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again 10 times within that year, would you have approved? 
 
What if George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? 
 
What if George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a
play in NYC, would you have approved?


So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all the above in just 5 months -- so be patient you've still got three years and seven months to come up with an answer.

Just passing it on 
Gentle breezes,
Ray

We need to Pray for President George W. Bush. He and Cheney may be up on charges for what they did to the AL-Qeuda 
prisoners. This is such a waste of Taxpayers money and time. It is completely unbelievable to me they would do such. So pray!!!

Life goes on.... 

    	

    		Life goes on! Whether your having fun or not!  I said a few days ago on my ministry blog that I would be updating this blog. Well
it didn't happen till today, much later. I have been dealing with knee pain since my therapy on by legs. It affected my knees
and has caused the muscles around the knees to tighten. So I haven't felt like sharing my thoughts. I did however venture away
from the house with my mother to see the new movie " Julie and Julia". Dispite a little discomfort, I managed. It was much better
than working in the hot sun like I used to do cutting grass. On a different note, we need to pray! and pray some more! For this
Country and the direction of it's policies. The people, or at least the majority voted for change with Obama. Well guess what!
We are only seeing the tip of the iceburg. I don't agree with alot of what has been going on. Anybody can get in office and overturn
what the previous administration started. Whether or not it is good is the question. Well I hope this is the change everybody hoped for.
Obama sent us back to the dark ages in this country when he said at a speech, America is no longer a Christian nation. The Bible says:
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Jesus Christ). That does not mean Obama is Jesus, or anybody else who holds the office. It is just we recognize Jesus as the one who gives our leaders direction throught the spirit and its people follow the Lord and Biblical principals. Obama with his statement has done away with the blessings of the Lord. I hope the Lord will look through the thoughts and words of a few and still bless us because of it's people, who call themselves Christian, and live by the bible to the best of there ability.
So pray! and pray some more!!! With that I want to leave you with a Song I like which says it all for the Christian, saved by grace.

Who Am I
by Casting Crowns

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.


I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.


I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours..
I am yours..


Hope you liked the above! God bless you!

How is everything in your part of the world? 

    	

    		

I hope this blog entry finds you my reader doing well!  I have been dealing with healing in my knees as of late. I had to have shots in both of them last week. It wasn't to fun! to say the least! things could be worse though. There was an old saying that I came across many years ago, which said " Eat a frog first thing in the morning and that will be the worst thing you do all day! Thank the Lord my knees are much better this week and I am walking more. I have found that God uses Doctors, and he will help give you knowledge to be a better consumer of Doctors and what they do. I have learned a lot from Bottom Line Personal Health books and newsletters. You can find this info at  www.bottomlinesecrets.com/yearbook   
I have personally been in the Hospital more times than I have wished my short 46 years. So now I try to be informed on every level.
My experiences with the Mental Health system has left much to be desired. A brain is a fragile part of the body and needs vitamins, fats, fish oils to help it function. I used to not eat a lot of fish, cut back on the fats at one time, and did'nt take vitamins. Taking Fish oil helps with Depression.  I wish early on I had started a Fish oil regime. I have however gotten on these antidepressants. They are a little hard to stop or not easy. At least the Doctors say that. Not that I am addicted. It's just once you start, stopping them has adverse effects. Prozac put me into a Brain Coma. I didn't know where I was for about a week. Its called a Neurolyptic syndrome. Alot of Antidepressants have the potential to do this. I am praying that what I take now will not produce such again. Please know I am not advocating not taking antidepressants. However, be informed! The One drug they advertise so much on TV called- Abilify, has so many potentential side effects. It is a last resort I would ever consider! Pray about your Doctors and what they prescribe, Take your good basic vitamin and fish oils. I am planning on getting involved in a Health product by MLM, which is called Vemma Shots. It is Mangosteen juices and Acai juices. As well as other good things for your health and well being. Check back in the coming months and I will share with you a link of where to order this product through me. I have taken Mangosteen Juice in the past for myself. The good effects for your body are tremendous. It is a Southeastern Asia Fruit, It is not a mango. So check back for a link or info.
As I have said in my last blog entry or two. You may become a facebook friend of mine or join facebook at my link
www.facebook.com/jlrasmussen
also leave a comment to this blog, love to hear your good comments! let me know about your mental health encounters.
You may also go to  www.mentalhealth.com  or   www.nami.org    or  www.mentalwellness.com
Hope this informed you of some info you could use,

God Bless you!

A update to my ministry and myself.... 

    	

    		
My thanks go out to those that have been praying for me and this ministry. I still need your prayers. It is actually a miracle that I am walking. God is still in the miracle business! Praise the Lord! My back has not wanted to cooperate with my hips. I honestly at times feel like I have been dropped off a three story building on my head. However, I am still walking! I just would like to go greater distances like I used to. Agree with me in prayer for the needed weight loss. I have tried a little of everything to loss weight, only to gain. I hope the Lord to just say the word and everything happens to begin the process of losing. There is something that is blocking the fat burning process. I used to get about 10,000 steps a day and maintain the same weight. I am on the surface healthy otherwise.
I thank the Lord my Blood pressure is great, Cholestral,Blood suger is perfect . I just started a new Liquid Vitamin that is available at Sam's Club. It only cost $12.58 a bottle for 32 days supply. It has a lot of good vitamins and Juices like Mangosteen, Acai, Goji, Noni,Blueberry. You might try it out if your looking to improve your health and wellbeing. 
I hope everything is going great in your life, If you would like to make a comment to this blog you are welcome. I would love to recieve your positive comments. Let me know how this blog or my ministry blog at www.jrsblogspot.com has spoke to you. I have been recieving some rather interesting comments from someone that are just garbled text and web links. I am praying for those who view my sites and I am sure these people have something better to do with there time than send meaningless text and type. Jesus Loves you! and that is what I hope the main message of my ministry and life is- God's Love! Also if you've come to this point and wondered who in the world I am. I am just a born again Christian, living for the Lord! You may go a step further and I challenge you to know that my sites are safe. I am not trolling for Folks on the net to do them any harm in any way. There is alot being said in the media about that because of others who have used the net for some rather bad things. If you need to do a search on someones background, you can do it for free at www.criminalsearches.com . You will by the Grace of God, find nothing on me! And I plan on it staying that way!!!! No question has came up, However, I want to diffend my space on the net . From Facebook to Myspace page to my webpages, it's all safe on my end. Enough said.  
Pray for me as I pray for you!!!     profile at    www.myspace.com/jrishere2

Pray for our Country! God Bless the U.S.A.! 

    	

    		
President Obama on his recent trip to Turkey told those assembled in a Speech that America was not a Christian Nation!
Granted we are a nation that is comprised of many nationalities and faiths, However, We were founded on Christian principles.
The bible says "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" that doesn't mean the president is Lord by any means. However, it means we look to Jesus Christ . Pray for the President and our leaders! Now more than ever we need to seek our Christian roots and the Lord Jesus during these economic times. It is the only way that our country may continue to experience what blessings it may have for future generations. Should Jesus not come back for the Church as soon as expected.
On a different note I found this and wanted to share it with you.

During this current time in the nation and the world

1. Be Cheerful.

2. Smile at people

3. Call people by their names.

4. Be friendly and helpful.

5. Be nice and see the good.

6. Be generous with praise, love and money.

7. Be interested in everyone.

8. Consider the feelings of others.

9. Give service when you can.

10. Be considerate of the opinion of others.

Prayer changes things!  pray for this country and the nations of the world.
Pray for my ministry and the things we will do, Go to www.ontractforjesusministries.org
Hope this finds you well! God bless you and your family!

John L. Rasmussen On tract another day for Jesus!

What's bugging you?!.... 

    	

    		What's bugging you can either bring you closer to God, or drive you away. You have a choice. You can also either become bitter or better! I have chose closer to God and better not bitter. The last 25 years of my life have had it's challenges. From time to time it can drive you to your knees in prayer. Something I never knew until the troubles of life. I never knew the power of prayer and what it can do. I am still believing for a lot of good things to happen in my life. The bible says if you lose you life for Christ you will find it. I don't know how much more I can lose at this point. However even at some of my worst days, I've had it better than those living in improverished circumstances. I've had a roof over my head and plenty to eat, a car to drive and other comforts of life. And yes I've taken them for granted. Growing up I didn't know about homeless people in the U.S. until after highschool. Without my parents I don't know where I would have been. I am thankful to the Lord for allowing me to have parents that have helped me when I couldn't help myself. So what am I getting to after saying all this. Many years ago I let the voice of one employee in my Landscape maintenance business to help bring about the sale of my business. I had given my all to my business and employees. They were paid before I ever was, all the time.
However , I let this employee and his negative comments to influence the sale of a thriving company. I sold the business and went into Real Estate sales and made some other bad investments. I spent  a little under two years in real estate only to lose it all. My health, my income was gone. If you have read this blog and some of its early entrys. I talk alittle about those times. So it comes down to this, Pray and seek God about your decisions. Do not let the voice of one and maybe a host others help make a decision. What is the Spirit of God impressing upon you. The bible says: Commit your way to the Lord and your thoughts will be established. Also many are the plans of man, however, God directs the steps. Commit your plans to the Lord and they shall succeed. If only I knew what the bible said in those areas of decision making, things might have been a liitle different. However, I had to go through some of those things to help change me. The bible says: My people perish due to a lack of knowledge. I hope I know now what I need to know.
I am always learning even now. I laugh and tell my parents I've pressed the easy button. Have you seen the Staples store easy button, you press it and it says "That was easy!" I've got one on my desk! My great nieces get a kick out of pressing the button and hearing it. I don't know what the Future holds, However, God holds the future! and future is as bright as the promises of God!
I've been through some of the diffuculties of life, I am looking for a brighter future in Christ! I pray that for you as well! Seek God While he may be found! Those that seek the Lord, shall lack no good thing!

Have a Blessed Day!  Click by again when you can!  check out my ministry blog at www.jrsblogspot.com
