Dream

JERUSALEM DAY   One easter many years ago I heard Franklin Anderson sing this... over the years it has stuck in my mind.....this week Jerusalem day was celebrated.... the corner stone was presented...they want to start building the third temple near the dome of the rock.   Once again my dream was changed New earth there seemed to be I saw the Holy City beside the tideless sea The light of GOD shone on its streets The gates were open wide And all who would might enter And no one was denied No need of moon or stars by night Nor sun to shine by day... It was the new Jerusalem that would not pass away   sing for the night is o'er Hosanah in the highest Hosanah forevermore!   Why are you cast down, discouraged, dispondent...hope thou in GOD !!!!   Are there dark clouds just over the horizon? My old doctor seemed to be forced into retirement. He was well over seventy. A young african took over his practice....immedietely slapped a diagnosis on me....now I have to sleep with a device plugged into the electricity...why? because they brought me into the lab one night, hooked me up to a bunch of test gear that made recordings while I slept. The tests showed that breathing was stopped several times during sleep. This condition among other things interrupts the restorative process of sleep and can leave one feeling tired after a full nights sleep, also dreaming is affected. Long story short....I seldom dream or remember dreams. Before christmas  last year the machine broke and has not been replaced....yet....   Last friday morning I was awakened by a catastrophic dream.   O Jerusalem, Jerusalem , which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Luke 13:34   Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20   Obama faces tricky talks with Netanyahu By Edward Luce in Washington Published: May 14 2009 18:23 | Last updated: May 14 2009 18:23 President Barack Obama will face one of his toughest diplomatic tests so far on Monday when he seeks to persuade Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, to pledge to work towards a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The meeting, which has generated nervousness among Mr Netanyahu's supporters in Washington's influential pro-Likud lobby community, will be the most high-profile moment so far in the new president's quest for a Middle East settlement. Supporters of Mr Netanyahu argue that Mr Obama should first tackle Iran's suspected nuclear weapons programme and only then embark on a peace process. "A lot of people want to hear the words 'two-state solution', but then a lot of people want to win the lottery as well," says Jennifer Mizrahi, head of The Israeli Project, an advocacy group. However, few predict that the normally pugnacious Israeli prime minister will risk alienating the highly popular US president on their first official meeting. White House officials have assiduously played down expectations. The two leaders met once before when Mr Obama stopped off in Israel during his presidential campaign last July. Three issues that will define the meeting....google Edward Luce  to read the rest
