Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you, Governor. To all the families, first responders, to the community of Newtown, clergy, guests — Scripture tells us: "...do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away...inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

==============
consider the following excerpts:
.... obsessed with watching, tracking, monitoring and recording
virtually everything that you do on the Internet. ... nothing you do
on the Internet will ever be private again.
The Internet is the greatest tool for mass communication that the
world has perhaps ever seen, and it gives average citizens the ability
to communicate with each other like never before, but ....Is
everything that we do on the Internet is being watched, monitored and
recorded ????
reasons why …. Potential Employers Are Demanding To See Your Internet Activity
The following comes from a recent CBS News report….
The bad news is that employers are increasingly asking job seekers for
their Facebook and other social-media passwords as part of the process
of vetting them.
While it's unclear how widespread that practice is, there's plenty of
anecdotal evidence to suggest that it is happening with increasing
frequency, as CBS MoneyWatch's Suzanne Lucas details. You can, of
course, refuse to give a job interviewer your passwords. But expect
your employment application to hit the round file, or the trash, if
you don't cooperate.
Do you remember the father that posted that "Facebook Parenting for
the troubled teen" video that went wildly viral all over the Internet
earlier this year?
That video was watched more than 31 million times, but it also
resulted in both the police and Child Protective Services officials
visiting his home.
So be careful what you post on YouTube.
governments all over the world could be monitoring your Internet
activity and you may never even know it. In fact, the level of
Internet surveillance in some countries is arguably even greater than
it is in the United States.
For example, a new bill that has been introduced in Canada would give
government authorities unprecedented power to monitor the Internet
activities of Canadians….
Dubbed "online spying" by critics, the bill is also expected to
require ISPs and phone companies to install equipment for real-time
surveillance ..The UK government is going even farther than that. ..We
suggest that the Government work with internet service providers in
the UK to develop a Code of Conduct committing them to removing
violent extremist material, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is taking
things even farther than that. He recently stated that anyone in
France that is caught regularly visiting websites "preaching hatred"
will be prosecuted.
The following is from a recent Raw Story article….
If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music,
your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and they're
coming for you.
That's the date when the nation's largest ISPs will all voluntarily
implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in
the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users'
bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they
will not download copyrighted materials.
..deal was brokered by the Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and
coordinated by the Obama Administration.
So be careful what you download on the Internet.
The online world has now become a world where there is absolutely no privacy.
Some are responding to this new reality by running away from the Internet,
The Internet has broken the monopoly that the elite had on mass
communication. It has given average people the ability to communicate
with one another like never before. A YouTube video or a blog post
that you put up today could be seen by tens of millions of people.
Information is power, and the Internet has put a tremendous amount of
power into the hands of the general population.
Yes, there will be people watching every single thing you do on the
Internet. So it is important to be very careful.
But the Internet also gives us an opportunity to impact the world that
is unlike anything previous generations have ever had. Something that
you post on the Internet today could end up completely changing a life
on the other side of the globe tomorrow.
The Internet is an incredible tool for exposing evil and corruption,
and over the past decade we have seen many instances when average
people on the Internet have broken major news stories...
In the final analysis, the ability to wake people up and to literally
change the world outweighs the risks of being watched.
The Internet is an awesome tool. It can be used for great good or for
great evil.
If we sit on our hands, we will accomplish nothing.
But if we try, we might just end up changing the world.
EXCERPTED FROM INFOWARS
Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.
Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.
Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.
Hear the victors who o'ercame,
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.
Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray.
Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
by Miss Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871)
If thou hadst known . . . in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. — Luke 19:42
God never opens doors that have been closed. He opens other doors, but He reminds us that there are doors which we have shut, doors which need never have been shut, imaginations which need never have been sullied. Never be afraid when God brings back the past. Let memory have its way. It is a minister of God with its rebuke and chastisement and sorrow. God will turn the "might have been" into a wonderful culture for the future. - CHAMBERS
