A good thing
We have many special places and opportunities in Lake County. I am very appreciative of the Elder Day care Activity Program. We call it The Club. My husband has difficulty walking and dementia so needs a caregiver 24/7. He is at The Club three days a week from 9:30 till 2:30. His time is filled with exercise, music, playing games, visiting and eating. He has a good time and is well taken care of. I have the ability to take care of my other responsibilities knowing he is safe and enjoying his activities. I also have a support group available to me to provide suggestions and help.
The Club meets Tuesday and Wednesday at St. Johns Lutheran Church in Clearlake. Thursday at the Lutheran Church in Lucerne and Friday at the Middletown Senior center.
There will be a fundraiser for the Clearlake Elder day Care Activity Program on Wednesday April 29th at DJ’s Pizza in Lower Lake 5:30 — 7:30 p.m. all you can eat Pizza $8. The money from the fundraiser party will go for scholarships for people to attend the Club who cannot afford it.

Bullet Trains
Rumors out of Sacramento indicate California’s proposed costly bullet train will utilize Japan’s recent maglev technology that offers 375 mph train speeds. California’s usage will allow even faster speeds on its initial Fresno to Bakersfield route as these trains will carry only minimal passenger weight. The source also indicated that any county supporting the State of Jefferson movement will not be considered for a bullet train stop. Vote wisely.

It’s only money
The Clinton Foundation, ‘Oh we forgot to report $145 MILLION but we will amend our tax returns for the past 5 YEARS of under-reporting.’ Yet out of all of their charitable contributions ONLY 15 percent went to actual charitable causes, 60 percent went to salaries, $80 million went to travel expenses! Chelsea Clinton, Head of the Clinton Foundation, just bought a $9.5 million Condo in New York! Yet Hillary wants you to believe she is for the “little people,” when the Clinton’s net worth is $150 to $300 million, accrued in just 12 years. Just like the old saying, “A sucker is born every minute.”

If I donated to the Clinton Foundation would I get some uranium?

Is there a distinction?
This is prompted by an April 16 letter entitled “Secular Humanism”
In today’s classrooms there is a growing influence of secular humanism of which modern spiritualism is a key component. If parents could see what some liberal teachers are presenting to their children they would be alarmed. For example, recently a young child came home and recounted how she talked to a “spirit guide” during the rest period. Another child reported that she talked to an angel.
Then in another locality a seven year old girl came home from school and told her mother that she didn’t believe in God anymore. It turns out that her teacher had told her that Satan is as good as God.
In another class a first grade teacher was doing guided imagery with the class, teaching them to visualize Jesus and have imaginary conversations with Him.
Other children have reported that the pledge of allegiance to the flag and our country is no longer necessary. Also, it is becoming apparent that many children are being taught to use their inner feelings for determining their value system of what is right and wrong.
Modern day Spiritualist activists with utopian visions are trying to create a new world society by reaching children while they are still in their formative years of learning. So the question is, where is all of this leading?
An inspired writer wrote, “The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be readily deceived by this wonderworking power; and Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world.”
