Thank God I

   Thank God I had a heart attack.  It changed my life, and I have a life now, of immeasureable gratitude.  My goal is to be grateful every day and express that to God and to others.  This arena helps, of course.

   Whati is your Thank God experience?  What can you add at the end of that little phrase that is real for you and you can share with the world?  John Demarrtin ihas taken me through the Breakthrough Experience several times where we ‘confront’ and process situations in our lives that were challenging and that shaped our current situation.

   Many are not pretty.  Many of us became victims, and were quite ready to tell eveyone how bad the world was treating us.  I could see and sense my impoending doom and ‘knew’ that my health was in danger 5 years ago.  It took the heart attack to shock me into change.  Now, I am not 100% where I want to be.  I am a work in progress for sure.  But lots has happened, and Lots CAN happen when we get disatisfied with where we have brought our lives.

   Go from Victim to Victor.  John’s books share his teachings and his magnificent and intense Breatkthrough Weekends may be coming to a metropolitan area near you.; He loves to come to Honolulu, but it’s not what you think, or what I had thoought.  Since his mission or purpose it to travel the world speaking to as many as possible and to get paid handsomel;y for it, this guy never seems to enjoy the scenery when he’s here. It’s work work work.

   But that’s his passion.  What is yours?  Or what would it be if you could do anything you wanted?

   Thank God I is a community of like-minded people and authors, (not that we have any non-people authors.)  Anyone can visit and I especially urge those who have the talent to write to share your experiences.  Heck, you may even be a part of a book one of these days.  John Castagnini, the founder of Thank God I (no relation to John Demartini :) has the passion to share this project and help empower others and enlighten thousands in the process.

   Npw this is not the right place to give you an in-depth sudy of Dr. John’s techings, it’s much too small to do them justice.  Nor have I devoted enough time to really tell about Thank God I, but you can research both, and I recommend that.  John says a few things that I repeat often and here they are;  “I am perfect the way I am”  “Whoever I am and what ever I have done, I am worthy of love.”  (I may have paraphrased that one.)  “I do what I love, and I love what I do”

   The idea is that we can stand up and scream “Thank God I” and then fill in the blank with that terrible thing that happened, the pain that we have had for years, or the situation tha was up-til now holding us back.

   If you are intrigued, go to http://www.thankgodi.com/184.html   In early 2010 Thank God I will have our 3rd book on the shelves and I expect to be one of the authors.  Also some previews are at http://rickemmerich.com

Letter to a friend who likes Bears

OK, honestly, he’s a fan of the Cal Bears, his Alma Mater.  I have been a Chicago Bears fan since I was 5, a LONG time.  After Thurs Nite’s Bears-49ers game, I feel like I need to vent a little so that’s what led to this letter.

Well, who knows what’s around the corner for them. I sense that the window of opportunity is not going to be open that long and guys like Kruetz, Garza and other linemen may be gone in a year or two. When Erlacher went down for a whole year, ya wonder what else he will have in the tank.

Oddly enough, perhaps the Broncos are the model team here, with their strong line play and the ability to plug in different RBs over the last 10 years and now a less than stellar QB.

I’ve said it before, when they can get to a very good club in the trenches, the DBs and then the skill positions on Offense, THEN if they can add the Special Teams, perhaps and return to their glory.Read More

Obviously they have a Very Good QB, and just as obviously, their Wideouts are not getting good separation.

I just remember how, a couple of years back they would struggle struggle through a game, and even fall way behind only to mount a furious comeback based on INTS, fumbles, good bounces and the famous Hester returns.

I think it’s next year or time to blow up the team, except at QB and some of the younger players. THe Orlando Pace bandaid attempt and the aging LBs may not make it to the next glory years.

That said, ya never know about this year. Beyond the Saints, Atlanta, Dallas?, Philly, the Vikings and those dreaded Cardinals, the Bears can compete with the rest.

More Heart Health from @hearthealthguy

At this moment I am not going to rehash my heart attack, even though it is out there, and in the rolls of this blog, of course. “Thank God I Had a Heart Attack” HOWEVER, based on the fact that I did most things right the second I became aware of the heart attack, I do recommend this one. Among other things I grabbed 1 or 2 aspirins from my desk and took them before I moved myself out to the front area of the office I was in.

HEART ATTACK ~ THE NEW ASPIRIN

Something that we can do to help ourselves. Nice to know.

Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.

Why keep aspirin by your bedside?

About Heart Attacks

There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm.
One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.

If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.

Afterwards:
- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by
- say “heart attack!”
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins..
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and…
~ do NOT lie down ~

A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!

I have already shared the information- – What about you?

Do forward this message; it may save lives!

Flying under the Radar

My wife, Dr. Malia and I have been blessed to find a product that we want to share with as many people as possible. It is the first demonstratable product that proves to be 100% beneficial.
I want to share a few of the benefits that my wife and I have experienced and I hope that some will do their due dilligence and find out more.
First, what it is NOT.
1. Not a crazy-hyped get rich scheme with a mediore product that really doesn’t matter.
2. No hype celebrities that gladly lend their name-for the right price.
3. No great hype endorsements like the NFL. That costs millions to attain. Of course, it is on the GRAS Generally Regarded As Safe Ingredients List.
4. It’s NOT growing so fast that if you don’t get in right away-you’ll miss it.
Some benefits are: better, deeper sleep. Some say they get relief from aches and pains. My vision has gotten dramatically better. I feel more protected from EMFs and our tests show that to be the case. Others have documented dramatic shifts in blood sugar counts to become more healthy.
So why is this company flying under the radar? Well, I feel that as it has attrracted mostly regular people with a healthy sprinkling in of Doctors. There is no system yet that is causing top networkers to build at a high rate of speed. It also has not yet launched. All the kinks seem to be worked out though.
Oh yeah, it’s called Nutrazon and next time I assume I will tell you about the herbs and healthy ingredients that make it special. ‘for now, here’s the link to find out more, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dauB2oIreYQ AND although I said there was no system yet, I got one for ya. www.rickemmerich.sponsordaddy.com Rick Emmerich

Just sayin’

 1.      You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

  2.      What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3.      The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4.      When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation..

  5.   You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

 

  

 

And anyone who thinks otherwise, SHAME ON YOU!!!

Now, to those that supported Obama, like I did, I suggest we take a real close look at his ‘teachings’ and ideals.  Are they going to work?  I don’t know.  I think we need and needed change, but I am cautiously pessimistic about his actions.  So, let’s see,    rick emmerich

Beware…of Darkness

Beware of this book!!    Oprah is pushing it. It is scary that someone would be bold enough to write a book from God’s point of view contrary to His Word.   BEWARE!!

 

 
If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please take note of the information below and pass it along to others. Schools are distributing this book to children through the Scholastic Book Club.
 
 The name of the book is Conversations with God.. James Dobson talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating. Parents, churches and Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information on to church/e-mail addresses, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, friends.
 
 Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV, in movie theaters, on the Internet, and the music they listen to, but also be alert regarding the books they read.
 
 Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations with God for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless enough by their titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, “Don’t judge a book by its cover or title.”
 
 The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the “voice of God”. However, the “answers” that he gives are not Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question “Why am I a lesbian?” His answer is that she was ‘born that way’ because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and “celebrate” her differences.
 
 Another girls poses the question “I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?”
 
 His reply is, “Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done nothing wrong.”
 
 Another question asks about God’s forgiveness of sin. His reply “I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive.. There is no such thing  as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another and this is wrong, because the rule is “‘judge not lest ye be judged.”

Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some instances quote (in error) the Word of God.
 
 And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to schoolchildren through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.
 
 Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be sober and vigilant about teaching your children the Word of God, and guarding their exposure to worldly mediums, because our adversary, the devil, roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.
 
 Pass this on to every Believer you know.. God bless! And, if you are in doubt, check out the books yourself

How’s this one working for you?

I bet this has happened to you too.  You get a fellow networked on the phone and proceed to give him or her your pitch.  Better yet, you keep it real short and then send them a link.

The ensuing conversaton goes like this doesn’t it.

“Well, looks like a good product/opportunity/deal BUT let me show you what I am doing.”

So, what then?  Here’s the answer.

Check it out for yourself-works for any business.   laters, Rick Emmerich
