Cancer
Editor, Times-Union:On June 13, 1995, I gave birth to a son. This being my third child, my two daughters were already grown and on their own. On June 25, 1995, I became twice a grandma, I had now two grandsons. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, Nov. 1995.
The day I was told I had breast cancer I thought my life was over. I thought I'd never see my children grow, or my grandchildren.
Dr. Cross and his staff made me realize that not all cancer patients die. And when caught in time survival is great.
Cancer's not easy, the surgery, the treatment, the wondering how long do I have to live? Will I get cancer again?
I didn't die. It was on the day of diagnosis that I began to live. A woman that day, asked me if I believed in God and prayer. I said yes, and she told me to pray, that God will listen and help. I did that day. And since then I have found a prayer in the Bible that helps me on rough days, no matter what it brings.
Psalm 143
Hear my prayer, O Lord, listen to my cry for mercy, in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
Do not bring servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground, he makes me dwell in darkness like those long dead. So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.
I remember the days of long ago I mediate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.
I spread out my hands to you, my soul thirsts for you like parched land.
Answer me quickly, O Lord my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in you.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your good spirit lead me on level ground.
For your names sake, O Lord, preserve my life, in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.
In your unfailing love, silence my enemies, destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
Amen
This one or your own, Prayer does help, God is real, and he listens.
On July 25, 1998, my granddaughter was born. And I thought I'd not live to see the children and grandchildren I had grow, and now I was here to see a granddaughter! And days ago, I was made a great aunt again! God hears our prayers! I'm here.
October is breast cancer awareness month, have your checkup, cancer doesn't always mean death. Don't miss out on life!
Susan Jones, Warsaw
Clinton
The American people got in Bill Clinton exactly what they deserve, for they knew up front he was called Slick Willy, a womanizer, for big government, involved in Whitewater, dodged the draft, hated the military, smoked pot, told lies, spent time in communist Russia, headed a corrupt state political system, and was too young to have the maturity and wisdom of our elder statesmen that only comes with age.When he gets in trouble Bill 'n Hil' put on their sheep clothes and are televised coming out of Church and chameleon BC becomes AD. But he thumbs his nose at Judeo-Christian principles and God's law, as when he twice vetoed the law outlawing the heinous, barbaric practice of partial birth abortion. But God hates hands that shed innocent blood and false witnesses that speak lies (Proverbs 6:17,18).
Clinton labels Bible-believing Christians as "the radical Christian right," blaming them for all his troubles. This wolf in sheep's clothing needs to hang the sheep's Ten Commandments in his private study off the Oval Office. Ronald Reagan doesn't hold a candle to Clinton's acting ability, but BC can't fool the God he professes to believe in. "Be sure your sin will find you out" (Num. 32:23).
A Nixon man was sent to prison for having just one FBI file, whereas the Clinton team still has 900 FBI files (for the purpose of blackmail and attack). When will justice be done? I had to laugh when I heard his defense doesn't want more Starr material released "because they are afraid it will be misused."
He has stonewalled; intimidated; obstructed justice; covered up; perjured himself; sold America to the Chinese; deceived with his craftiness in legalics and making a game of hair-splitting, misleading language; lied to the American people; made the presidency a joke to the world; run his spinning wheel in the War Room of the White House for six year; and attacks and tries to destroy all his enemies. It makes one wonder about the more than 50 people who have died in the Clintons' wake (dead people don't talk), including body guards, campaign fund raisers, investigators, witnesses, lawyers, a man who had access to his medical records, etc. (Ref. "Growing List of Dead Bodies Surrounding Bill Clinton" from pp. 10-13 of "Wake-up Call America" Sept./Oct. 1998, Lakewood, Co.; see Devvy Kidd's website at www.devvy.com). Jail to the chief!
The American people have been subjected to both the filter of the liberal news media and the smoke and mirrors of the BC Spinmeisters, and the only way Congress can get the truth to the American people is by releasing the Starr report and the videos of Clinton's testimony to the grand jury and the Paula Jones lawyers. The American people have a right to the truth, and if they don't want to see it, it is only because they don't want to know the truth.
Clinton cannot be let off the hook by public opinion polls any more than O.J. Simpson's fate should have been decided by a poll. The outcome has to be by the rule of the law and not by the rule of the measure of his popularity.
I hate to say, "I told you so," but I have to say it.

Apology
Editor, Times-Union:My name is Joshua Goble and I am a 6th grader, on Thursday Oct. 1st, I was in the back seat on the school bus, I was messing around and the postman came up behind us and I made an obscene gesture to him. I would like to tell him, I am sorry.
I disrespected him, my bus driver, my school, and myself. In doing this, I embarrassed my bus driver, who is trying to drive and let kids off the bus plus watch traffic. And I would like to say that our bus driver is very nice and I would like you to forgive me. And being a 6th grader, she counts on us to set a good example to the younger children on the bus, and what I did was not, and it was very disrespectful. I would like to apologize to her and to the mail man and to the other children on the bus. And I promise it will not happen again.
