Invite HIM to talk to you while you are walking today.........
Let us pray on the following............we have a FULL CUP of needs.........
We have this prayer need from Paula........
Please lift me in prayer for healing! I have been experiencing muscle spasms on my left side for 2 months. Lots of pain meds. Am going to the E R. Today. May be a kidney stone I’m told. Thank you for praying.
We will be praying for you Paula! Also thanks to your hubby Roger for his lovely note! My Dad was Roger's bus driver back in Windom. Roger is from the class of 62!!! Love to hear from folks from my hometown!
Let us continue to pray for Brooke, Franks' granddaughter, she continues to make steady, but slow progress. Frank says the Hospital is full of children Brooke's age, 3 yrs old, with the same illness, lungs full of gunk.
Sharon wanted to share this with all of us............
Pictured below is a young physician by the name of Dr. Starner Jones. His short two-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis". It's worth a quick read:
Dear Mr. President:
During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone.
While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.
And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me".
Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.
Respectfully,
STARNER JONES

Dear Senator Morales,
As I am sure you are aware SB-183 is set for a vote in the Senate on Wednesday - Feb.3rd. The vote will determine whether or not SB-183 will be sent to the finance committee. I was present at the joint meeting of the Public Affairs Committee and the Judiciary Committee this afternoon. I strongly oppose SB-183 and do so for various reasons. Some are as follows:
This bill is nothing short of "Gay Marriage". Proponents say that it is not and have stressed that careful attention has been made to avoid such words as "spouse" and "marriage" in the bill. But, as they endeavored to convince other Senators to support the bill every reference to what the bill is intended to produce was to that of heterosexual marriages. I honestly am not trying to be facetious, but as the old adage states: "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be duck".
As brought out both this year and last, in every state where such "Domestic Partnership Bills" have been passed such bills have been used as a stepping stone to the legalization of gay marriages. New Mexico will be no exception. What is important to note is that the public referendum on such bills has been that of over turning them - [ie. - California]. The passage of such bills has a track record of producing increasingly litigation and much expense to the states in which they have been passed. New Mexico will be no exception.
As noted in today's Senatorial discussion of the bill the financial ramifications of this bill are yet to really be determined. There were obvious conflicting reports on the fiscal impact of this bill. The range was that of somewhere between $ 50,000.00 and $ 6,000,000.00. The need to send it to the Finance Committee is rather apparent.
One very disturbing aspect of this bill and one that was clearly pointed out was that of the size of this bill and the Senator's inability at this time to fully go over the bill so as to dissect and fully understand what is contained within it so as to fully contemplate the consequences/results of the passage of this bill. In listening to the Senator's discussion it was brought out that the honorable Senators and Representatives are dealing with serious financial matters due to the passage of a bill in years past that had unforeseen and troubling consequences - even though the bill was intended to help the citizens of New Mexico. Good intentions are to be commended. Careful analysis of the carrying out of those intentions is a must. SB-183 must be carefully weighed out and not merely voted upon because of one's "philosophical" feelings (as one Senator based her vote) or solely on good intentions.
The populous of New Mexico strongly stated their stand on such a bill last year and various surveys have shown that such a stand is still as strong. The word amongst those I have talked to has been that of this session being a short one and the fiscal condition of our state must be of top priority in the limited amount of time that this session allows. Our duly elected officials need not be diverted from such matters and neither should they be forced into a hasty vote on such a massive bill (SB-183) and to do so without the properly needed time to read and fully understand what is contained in it.
Lastly, any and all people must take into careful consideration what has transpired wit regard to prior nations and even empires when the institution of marriage between a man and a woman has been tampered with or changed. History does not lie. History will repeat itself. History has shown that to tamper with this basic and foundational institution has not been in the best interest of mankind. History forgotten or not known will inevitably repeat itself. My sincere desire and prayer - along with that of others - is that our state and nation will not succumb to what history has shown to work against the wellbeing of those that have.
Myself and many of my peers, acquaintances and colleagues respectfully honor the position which you and the other duly elected officials of this state hold. We understand the tremendous pressures and responsibilities that you have voluntarily undertaken so as to serve the populous of the great state of New Mexico, and we wholeheartedly convey our thanks to you. We also realize that with your position and role comes that of determining and setting into motion that which will take place in this state now and in the future and how that the people of this state will be affected by the actions, decisions, and votes that you render. Any and all who know me and those which I serve can and will testify that we pray for all of you all during the year and have done so for years. Our prayers will continue to be for all of you no matter what side of any issue you all may find yourselves to be taking.
Thank you for your taking of your very valuable time to read and to consider what has been stated in this letter. And, again thank you for all of your self-sacrificial service to our state and the people thereof.
May our Lord truly keep, bless, and watch over you and yours.

Now From Pastor Leonard Navarre and Frank Haley.........
Wednesday, Governor Bill Richardson issued a plea to the Senate leaders to take the 816 page Domestic Partnership Bill out of the committees. The bill is being read and heard in the Judiciary and Public Affairs Committees with referrals to the Finance Committee for cost impact. Governor Richardson stated, "I believe the entire Senate needs to be able to vote on this bill. I am positive and confident that when presented to the entire Senate that it will pass." However, some commentators are disagreeing with the Governor saying that the votes on the Senate floor have not changed since the last vote when this type bill was defeated by 8 votes. Senator Cisco McSorley has stated that the bill will not be discussed or voted on in his committee until Friday.

SANTA FE — The New Mexico Legislature's 30-day budget-balancing session looks like it could be headed for a collision.
Lawmakers hit the session's midway point Wednesday with leaders of the House and Senate remaining philosophically divided on how to plug a budget deficit for the coming fiscal year that's projected to be between $500 million and $600 million.
House members could vote as soon as today on a proposed $5.6 billion budget that relies on about $320 million in increased taxes and about $200 million in federal aid to help cover state spending. Some of the federal aid hasn't been approved by Congress yet.
Top-ranking senators say the budget plan, if approved by the House, won't have a soft landing in the Senate.
"Obviously, the House wants the Senate to be the bad people and strip (the tax increases)," said Sen. John Arthur Smith, D-Deming, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
Smith said it's possible, if not likely, that lawmakers will have to return for a special session this spring if they are unable to reconcile their budget disagreements by the time the 30-day session ends Feb. 18.
Gov. Bill Richardson said Wednesday he supports the House's budget approach, which includes temporarily raising the gross receipts tax rate and imposing a personal income surtax on high-earning New Mexicans.
The tax hikes would allow the state to balance its budget without cutting salaries of educators and state workers, though some spending cuts would still be required.
However, support for the budget package crafted by House Democratic leadership appeared to be wavering Wednesday, even among members of the majority party.
Democratic representatives held two caucus meetings — both behind closed doors — to discuss the budget bill.
Republicans in both the House and Senate are expected to take a hard-line approach against tax hikes, although they bristle at suggestions they're merely trying to block the Democratic agenda.

Exempt employees: A measure (SB 127) would limit the number of exempt employees in state government to about 400.
"The number of political hires is out of control," said Sen. John Ryan, the bill's sponsor. "The Legislature has oversight authority and needs to get a handle on how many political hires a governor can have in an administration."
Ryan says there are about 500 exempt employees currently on the state payroll. "There needs to be a limit on the number, otherwise our state budgets will continue to grow and grow without the Legislature's consent. It is a budget issue. It is a clear balance of power issue."
The senator hopes his bill is declared germane to the current 30-day session. He says it's directly related to the financial matters the Legislature is considering this session.
The Senate Committees' Committee is expected to determine today whether the measure is relevant.
