Wow!
If it can happen in Uganda, it can happen anywhere. Remember the
heartache Uganda has experienced in the past 30 years! What a price to
pay for repentance! And remember South Sudan! Praise God! At
least at the Almighty was at our national foundation, not some animist
panthiest. The sins of the fathers and the blessings of the fathers....very
important to the repentance of the USA and how quickly we can come back from
the precipice towards which we're advancing.

Should a president lead citizens in a national prayer of
repentance?
Uganda’s Christian president believes so.The Ugandan news site New Vision reports President Yoweri Museveni celebrated Uganda’s 50th anniversary of independence from Britain at the National Jubilee Prayers event by publicly repenting of his personal sin and the sins of the nation. “I stand here today to close the evil past, and especially in the last 50 years of our national leadership history and at the threshold of a new dispensation in the life of this nation. I stand here on my own behalf and on behalf of my predecessors to repent. We ask for your forgiveness,” Museveni prayed. “We confess these sins, which have greatly hampered our national cohesion and delayed our political, social and economic transformation. We confess sins of idolatry and witchcraft which are rampant in our land. We confess sins of shedding innocent blood, sins of political hypocrisy, dishonesty, intrigue and betrayal,” Museveni said. “Forgive us of sins of pride, tribalism and sectarianism; sins of laziness, indifference and irresponsibility; sins of corruption and bribery that have eroded our national resources; sins of sexual immorality, drunkenness and debauchery; sins of unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred and revenge; sins of injustice, oppression and exploitation; sins of rebellion, insubordination, strife and conflict,” Museveni prayed. Next, the president dedicated Uganda to God. “We want to dedicate this nation to you so that you will be our God and guide. We want Uganda to be known as a nation that fears God and as a nation whose foundations are firmly rooted in righteousness and justice to fulfill what the Bible says in Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. A people you have chosen as your own,” Museveni prayed. Uganda won its independence from Britain Oct. 8, 1962. Resistance leader Milton Obote was the country’s first prime minister. Massachusetts pastor and activist Rev. Scott Lively believes Museveni is a model for other national leaders. “The Museveni prayer is a model for all Christian leaders in the world. The leaders of the West have declined in proportion to their degree of rejection of God,” Lively said. Lively also believes Uganda will rise as a major African power as America continues to decline. He uses Britain as an example. “Britain was at its height as a world power when it honored God as the Ugandan president has just done. America’s greatness has similarly diminished as we have shifted from a Christian to a secular-humanist country. But watch now for Uganda to be blessed by God for their desire to be His,” Lively said. Lively added that Museveni is definitely drawing a contrast between Uganda and the West. “This incident is also important as a contrast to the picture being painted of Uganda by the godless left of a backwards, violent and savage culture intent on murdering homosexuals,” Lively said. “On the contrary, Museveni is calmly and confidently setting the course of his nation by the guidance of the Bible, in a way that also shows great courage and resolve,” Lively said. Homosexual activist groups have criticized the government of Uganda and Museveni for passing laws criminalizing homosexual behavior. A current bill before the Ugandan Parliament increases the jail sentences for homosexual acts and includes criminal penalties for those who encourage or promote homosexuality. The bill had included the death penalty for those who commit multiple acts of homosexual behavior, but the provision has been removed, BBC News reports. The government of Uganda could not be reached for comment on this story. Lively said he didn’t agree with the death penalty provision but supports the nation’s strong stance against homosexual behavior. While Museveni is being held as a model for Christian leaders, Dave Daubenmire, PT Salt Ministries’ president and founder and social commentator, said the problem for Western nations goes deeper than the political leaders. The problem in the United States, he said, is the pastors. “Sadly, I think our lack of repentance is the fault of the pulpit. Individual Christians are so awash in sin that they think politicians are merely better at sin than they are,” Daubenmire said. “There is no fear of the Lord and we are getting essentially a two-kingdom message. We hear that the devil is the god of this world and that Jesus will even the score later,” Daubenmire said. “The problem is that most Christians are convinced that this world is in control of Satan and therefore are not interested in applying the kingdom principles for which Christ died.” Daubenmire quoted Matthew 28:18, in which Jesus said, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Christians, Daubenmire said, are exhorted later in the same chapter to go and make disciples of all nations. “We are to teach them and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” he said. “All power in heaven and in earth belongs to Jesus. Unfortunately, most Christians don’t have the foggiest idea that He rules and reigns here and now, and that the kingdom principles that He taught us bring victory over evil wherever they are applied.” He added that Christians too often play with sin. “Since we do not hate sin anymore, we don’t demand repentance,” Daubenmire said. He quoted British 17th century statesman Edmund Burke, who said, “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Daubenmire said that in America, “good men have yielded power to evil men.” “Evil rules when evil men make the rules,” he said.

there is also a minority belonging to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The
remainder of the population follow traditional religions (1%), Baha'i (0.1%),
other non-Christian religions (0.7%), or have no religious affiliation
(0.9%).[58]http://www.historyorb.com/countries/uganda http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Africa/Uganda-HISTORY.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14112446 http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0108066.html http://africanhistory.about.com/od/uganda/Uganda.htm http://www.mongabay.com/reference/country_studies/uganda/HISTORY.html http://www.factmonster.com/encyclopedia/world/uganda-history.html Uganda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda The northern and West Nile regions are predominantly Catholic, while the Iganga District in eastern Uganda has the highest percentage of Muslims. The rest of the country has a mix of religious affiliations.[59] Traditional indigenous beliefs are practiced in some rural areas and are sometimes blended with or practiced alongside Christianity or Islam. In addition to a small community of Jewish expatriates centered in Kampala, Uganda is home to the Abayudaya, a native Jewish community dating from the early 1900s. One of the world's seven Bahá'í Houses of Worship is located on the outskirts of Kampala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Africa http://www.ugandamission.net/aboutug/histimeline.html http://www.bridgeinternational.org/articles/southsudan.php

Uganda President Leads Citizens To GOD --- Good Guy!
Actor Denzel Washington --- GOOD GUY!
Remember this next time you walk up to the ticket window of your local movie theater with $10 in your hand. The Media (accidentally?) missed this one! Please read this: The troops overseas would like you to send it to everybody you know. Denzel Washington and Brooks Army Medical Center.
Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at
Brooks Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States , especially burn victims.
There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is in the hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his checkbook out and wrote a check for the full amount right there on the spot.
The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public,
because it warmed their hearts to hear it.
The question is, 'Why do: Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise and other Hollywood fluff make front page news with their ridiculous antics, and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the local newspaper in San Antonio?'
A true American and friend to all in uniform!
This needs as wide a distribution as we can create.
Please share it!

History of the Car Radio
History of the Car Radio
HISTORY OF THE CAR RADIO
Seems like cars have always had radios, but they didn't. Here's
the true story:
One evening, in 1929, two young men named William Lear and Elmer
Wavering drove their girlfriends to a lookout point high above the
Mississippi River town of Quincy , Illinois , to watch the sunset. It was a
romantic night to be sure, but one of the women observed that it would be
even nicer if they could listen to music in the car.
Lear and Wavering liked the idea. Both men had tinkered with
radios (Lear had served as a radio operator in the U.S. Navy during World War
I) and it wasn't long before they were taking apart a home radio and trying
to get it to work in a car. But it wasn't as easy as it sounds: automobiles
have ignition switches, generators, spark plugs, and other electrical
equipment that generate noisy static interference, making it nearly
impossible to listen to the radio when the engine was running.
SIGNING ON One by one, Lear and Wavering identified and eliminated each source of electrical interference. When they finally got their radio to work, they took it to a radio convention in Chicago . There they met Paul Galvin, owner of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. He made a product called a "battery eliminator" a device that allowed battery-powered radios to run on household AC current. But as more homes were wired for electricity, more radio manufacturers made AC-powered radios. Galvin needed a new product to manufacture. When he met Lear and Wavering at the radio convention, he found it. He believed that mass-produced, affordable car radios had the potential to become a huge business. Lear and Wavering set up shop in Galvin's factory, and when they perfected their first radio, they installed it in his Studebaker. Then Galvin went to a local banker to apply for a loan. Thinking it might sweeten the deal, he had his men install a radio in the banker's Packard. Good idea, but it didn't work -- Half an hour after the installation, the banker's Packard caught on fire. (They didn't get the loan.) Galvin didn't give up. He drove his Studebaker nearly 800 miles to Atlantic City to show off the radio at the 1930 Radio Manufacturers Association convention. Too broke to afford a booth, he parked the car outside the convention hall and cranked up the radio so that passing conventioneers could hear it. That idea worked -- He got enough orders to put the radio into production. WHAT'S IN A NAME That first production model was called the 5T71. Galvin decided he needed to come up with something a little catchier. In those days many companies in the phonograph and radio businesses used the suffix "ola" for their names -- Radiola, Columbiola, and Victrola were three of the biggest. Galvin decided to do the same thing, and since his radio was intended for use in a motor vehicle, he decided to call it the Motorola. But even with the name change, the radio still had problems: When Motorola went on sale in 1930, it cost about $110 uninstalled, at a time when you could buy a brand-new car for $650, and the country was sliding into the Great Depression. (By that measure, a radio for a new car would cost about $3,000 today.). In 1930 it took two men several days to put in a car radio -- The dashboard had to be taken apart so that the receiver and a single speaker could be installed, and the ceiling had to be cut open to install the antenna. These early radios ran on their own batteries, not on the car battery, so holes had to be cut into the floorboard to accommodate them. The installation manual had eight complete diagrams and 28 pages of instructions. HIT THE ROAD Selling complicated car radios that cost 20 percent of the price of a brand-new car wouldn't have been easy in the best of times, let alone during the Great Depression -- Galvin lost money in 1930 and struggled for a couple of years after that. But things picked up in 1933 when Ford began offering Motorola's pre-installed at the factory. In 1934 they got another boost when Galvin struck a deal with B.F. Goodrich tire company to sell and install them in its chain of tire stores.
By then the price of the radio, installation included, had
dropped to $55. The Motorola car radio was off and running. (The name of the
company would be officially changed from Galvin Manufacturing to
"Motorola" in 1947.) In the meantime, Galvin continued to develop
new uses for car radios. In 1936, the same year that it introduced push-button
tuning, it also introduced the Motorola Police Cruiser, a standard car radio
that was factory preset to a single frequency to pick up police broadcasts.
In 1940 he developed with the first handheld two-way radio -- The
Handie-Talkie -- for the U. S. Army.
A lot of the communications technologies that we take for granted today were born in Motorola labs in the years that followed World War II. In 1947 they came out with the first television to sell under $200. In 1956 the company introduced the world's first pager; in 1969 it supplied the radio and television equipment that was used to televise Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon. In 1973 it invented the world's first handheld cellular phone. Today Motorola is one of the largest cell phone manufacturer in the world -- And it all started with the car radio. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO The two men who installed the first radio in Paul Galvin's car, Elmer Wavering and William Lear, ended up taking very different paths in life. Wavering stayed with Motorola. In the 1950's he helped change the automobile experience again when he developed the first automotive alternator, replacing inefficient and unreliable generators. The invention lead to such luxuries as power windows, power seats, and,eventually, air-conditioning. Lear also continued inventing. He holds more than 150 patents. Remember eight-track tape players? Lear invented that. But what he's really famous for are his contributions to the field of aviation. He invented radio direction finders for planes, aided in the invention of the autopilot, designed the first fully automatic aircraft landing system, and in 1963 introduced his most famous invention of all, the Lear Jet, the world's first mass-produced, affordable business jet. (Not bad for a guy who dropped out of school after the eighth grade.) |
