MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: The First Long Weekend of the Summer!
Memorial Day is a holiday celebrated in America. The day is a to commemorate and remember those who gave their all defending the United States.
Memorial Day is also the unofficial kickoff to summer, the first long weekend of the summer and a time of family picnics, cookouts, community parades and visits.
Memorial Day is also one of the busiest travel holidays of the year.
Reflection and remembrance were always the hallmark of Memorial Days past, but over the last several decades, Memorial Day has come to symbolize the opening of community swimming pools and summer.
Perhaps that’s why Memorial Day family outings are so popular?
Other countries celebrate holidays similar to Memorial Day, but the holiday itself is All-American. A few quick facts about Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered.[1] The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May,[2] was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
With all that in mind, we’ve collected 20 Memorial Day quotes and quotes appropriate for the holiday. These quotes come from movies, books, writers, authors and more. We’ve even included a bonus quote!
Enjoy a happy and safe Memorial Day 2014!

46 percent view a major cyber attack as an act of war – Convenient. For almost half of the country, there’s no longer any need to kill or stage an attack in order to go to war. A “major cyber attack” will suffice and of course, the government will inform the country who the culprits were. Convenient.
This case is a good example of the legions of Americans who felt they were born again because they recited the “sinner’s prayer” at a “revival.” From the young man’s testimony, he never experienced a new birth. Now he joins millions of “backsliders” (not a New Testament term) in slandering the Christianity they never knew–but were told they did.
The following information was a great help to me in getting rid of those wild manifestations presented by false revivals and revivalists, teachers, evangelists, apostles and prophets, the big-named elitists as well as those considered nameless, faceless but false non- the- less, through the word of faith, false prophetic, healing, and all other ungodly teachings and impartations, anointings, giftings and visitations, dreams and visions through improper teaching and improper use of “laying on of hands”, and the anointing with oil, and by way of agreement and acceptance of these things by the deceived believer. The demonic, sensual, and much sought after tangible presence of and voice of “god”, to entice the believer to expect a physical touch, feeling, experience, or emotional response from God, or to speak in other, often several different languages that he himself does not know, otherwise known as “diverse tongues”. Additionally to expect to receive new revelation, gifts, power, authority, and healings, prophetic or creative ability by way of visitation and impartation by angels or by way of impartation by another person individually or through “fire tunnels” who claims the God-given ability to pass these on.
All these have set themselves against the Holiness of all that is God, His deity, person, and presence of the one and only true Holy Spirit and the infallible word of God through salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ and the true message of the Gospel, the way Father God intended from the beginning.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper rides to the rescue of Michael Sam’s kiss- Which was re-broadcast a gazillion times. Of all of the manufactured Corporate Media words, “homophobic” is the most misused–ever. [No link for the CNN video. Google it?!]
SELF-WORSHIP IN AMERICA
WORSHIP OF SELF: Living in an Age of Self in a country of the Self-Absorbed and Self-Reliant.
I have learned… – A collection of what one writer has learned. A few samples follow.
I’ve learned- that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back.
I’ve learned- that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I’ve learned- that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up.
The Internet seems to be loaded with such sites of self-absorbed youth, anxious to share the experiences of their young jaded lives, all in the name of “helping others” by imparting their “wisdom.” These sites abound because they pander to the self-absorbed. They appeal to a person’s ego–both the reader and the writer.
Before the Internet, back in the 1980s, a man by the name of Jack Handey parodied these types of pretensions with his Deep Thoughts. Here are a few Deep Thoughts.
“I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.”
“I think people tend to forget that trees are living creatures. They’re sort of like dogs. Huge, quiet, motionless dogs, with bark instead of fur.”
“If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is “God is crying.” And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is “Probably because of something you did.”
“The first thing was, I learned to forgive myself. Then, I told myself, “Go ahead and do whatever you want, it’s okay by me.”
“It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.”
The 1970s and 80s were known as “The Me Generation.” The self-absorbed of that era was the group at which Handey poked fun. But the Me Generation were amateurs compared to the Millennial naval-gazing that takes place in 2014 America.The self-absorbed naturally concentrate on themselves. Their journeys are mostly inward and involve self-discovery. Their deep thoughts revolve around themselves, who they are, what they presume, and what they believe. These self-centered thoughts may passed along to others disguised as “advice.”
The Millennials are the ultimate Me Generation. Raised on self-esteem, lectured on the benefits of self-actualization, self-awareness and self-aggrandizing: the one trait they seem to lack is self-control.
However, it’s hard to fault the Millennials: they have been programmed by TV, society, their schools, their religions, their culture–even their parents in many cases–to look first to themselves for answers.
It’s no accident that the most celebrated art form of the Millennials is that perfect symbol of self-celebration: the “selfie.”
THE CELEBRATION OF SELF
All the preceding has been noted to make the following observations.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.“
–2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
When the man of sin comes onto the scene, he will appeal to the “good in people.” Though he will speak great swelling words of a false brotherhood and unity (for all of those who follow him; death for those who disagree), he will invite each person to search for the good that is within. The appeal will be that “You’re a good person. Unleash the goodness that dwells within for the benefit of all mankind.”
This directly contradicts Christianity, which teaches that man is wicked, sinful and lost without a savior.
Anti-Fracking Movie funded by Middle East oil tycoon? – All one has to do to boost Americans’ faith in something is to run a few Corporate Media stories about opponents being “Middle East oil tycoons” or “international bankers.” If those two groups were against it, many Americans would support murdering little old ladies–most especially the rich and celebrated of Hollywood.
On the Loneliness of the Remnant – As apostasy grows, more and more in the Body of Christ will face the challenges of having to disconnect from churches that worship counterfeits.
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
-–1 Corinthians 15:1-4 – (h/t:B)
“Scientists in London say they have invented a process that can actually turn light into matter, but warned people that their results won’t be visible to the human eye. Well, in that case, I invented it too.”
–Jimmy Fallon
Meteor shower: a natural bit of fireworks in the sky. A new meteor shower will be taking place on the night/early morning of May 23 and May 24: the Camelopardalids.
They are called the Camelopardalids, and it gets its name from the constellation it radiates from Camelopardalis. Unlike other better known meteor showers like the Perseids or Leonids that have been happening for hundreds of years, we’ll see history in the making as the Camelopardalids shoot through the sky for the first time ever.
The most promising of the news stories hinted at perhaps something spectacular.
The writer at USA Today speculates that the meteor shower could turn into a “meteor storm” in the headline. But he doesn’t provide much of a foundation for his speculation.
It’s called the Camelopardalid meteor shower, and unlike annual showers such as the Perseids and Leonids that have been occurring for hundreds or thousands of years, it will occur for the first time the night of May 23 and early morning of May 24.
Another media source wasn’t so sure about the “meteor storm” claim.
Meteor storm? Well, maybe and maybe not. A predicted new meteor shower this Friday night or early Saturday morning (May 23-24) is likely to be at least as good as the best annual meteor showers – and has a chance to be much better.
The lowdown on the Memorial Day meteor shower (which is probably what most people will call it).
A meteor shower is a celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate, or originate, from one point in the night sky. These meteors are caused by streams of cosmic debris called meteoroids entering Earth’s atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel trajectories. Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them disintegrate and never hit the Earth’s surface. Intense or unusual meteor showers are known as meteor outbursts and meteor storms, which may produce greater than 1,000 meteors an hour
About this particular meteor shower: the Camelopardalid:
Multiple studies predict Comet 209P/LINEAR may cause a new significant annual meteor shower which would appear to radiate from Camelopardalis on the night of 23/24 May starting in 2014. There may be 100 to 400 meteors per hour.
Forecasters are predicting low moonlight in the sky, so the Camelopardalid meteor shower should be quite visible. The following comes from the site of an “amateur astronomer and a professional meteorologist.”
We may have a new meteor shower this month. Set your alarm before 3am EDT on the 24th. Look overhead or in the darkest, least obstructed part of your sky to see the most meteors. Mathematicians calculated the debris trail from Comet 209P/LINEAR’s will be thick enough to produce a good meteor shower when the comet’s orbit intercepts the Earth’s orbit. Don’t be disappointed if you only see a few meteors; the ones you see are likely to be brighter and slower-moving than meteors you typically see. And there’s always the chance of a meteor storm! The comet itself is predicted to be 11th magnitude or fainter when it passes at a safe distance from Earth five days later.
Check back for updates and news as the event draws closer.
NOTE: Though some may claim this as part of some sort of “prophecy” or another: this meteor shower does not relate to any Bible prophecy.

South Carolina Makes Obamacare Criminal – This will not end well. Not saying that it’s not what every state in a perfect world would do. Just that it won’t end well…

Planned Parenthood Conference Has Teens Teaching Porn to Adults – This, too, will not end well. But in a different way. Also, just because PP is the cutting societal edge of “vile,” don’t think that whatever civilizational poison PP is pushing today won’t be at the local elementary school tomorrow. Planned Parenthood shenanigans are usually harbingers.
NOTE: The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a noted eugenicist.
That means she didn’t have much use for people of color. Abortion was just the most convenient way for her to get rid of all of those inconvenient “inferior” babies.

New Controversy at Scandal-plagued Rutgers – What’s noteworthy about this article is the brazenness with which the AD at Rutgers sweeps an entire documented chapter of her life under the carpet by uttering “I don’t remember.” Breathtaking!
Of course, “I don’t remember” has always been a refuge for those who don’t want to bear legal ramifications for their public utterances. Bill Clinton should be at the top of any list of “Most Influential American Presidents.” Bill Clinton taught the nation the proper way to lie.
Disruptions: At Odds Over Privacy Challenges of Wearable Computing – Items like Google Glass give users the illusion of privacy. Of course, in the age of Facebook and 24/7 access to “friends” most Americans under 25 only have a very occasional relationship with the word “privacy”…

DHS to be granted total dictatorial power in immigration bill, all laws nullified, voters silenced – For those of you who still cling to the false hope that Republican Party will somehow save you. Remember: the Department of Homeland Security was a creation of George W. Bush–and the Republican Congress in the days after 911. In the arena of American politics, there are no heroes. There are no white knights. Whenever one American realizes that, that same American has cut through at least one deception that swamps our culture.
Sitting is the new smoking – A lot of activities will soon qualify as “the new smoking” because a lot of activities will soon be demonized and then outlawed. You may ask “Sitting? Outlawed? That’s crazy!”
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”–1 John 2:15-16
“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,”–Romans 14:17
“The Holy Spirit pleads with the will of man, instructing us to choose the right path, the narrow path, the path that leads to the Kingdom.
Every man serves one of two kingdoms! We either serve the Kingdom of God, or the kingdom of this world. We either submit ourselves to the light of Christ, or the darkness of sin. Though some might think themselves self-governing, independent masters of their destinies, in reality they too serve one of these two kingdoms.
The end result of submission to the will of God is joy. I know this flies in the face of all the nonsense men have been spewing the past few decades, but it is nevertheless true. The end result of submission to the will of God is joy!”
“The end result of submission to the will of God is JOY!”
Readers are advised to obtain some JOY! for themselves this Memorial Day weekend.
Submit to the will of God and invite His Son, Jesus Christ, into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior!
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
—Romans 1:16
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
