SunTrust A Dog with Fleas: Word on Wall St. on SunTrust a SELL for Meredith Whitney and Warren Buffett

I just got word from Wall Street that Meredith Whitney is SELLING SunTrust and Warren Buffett is reducing his holdings.

SunTrust is obviously a dog with fleas and given the upcoming class action lawsuits connected with SunTrust's fraudulent overdraft fees by which they took advantage of countless customers, SunTrust is going to fall hard.

Expect the CEO and higher-ups at SunTrust to bail when the ship starts sinking amid the financial wreckage and blowback when defrauded customers get their recompense in court and restitution with heavy punitive damages in the class action lawsuit.

SunTrust was the bank of choice for the 9-11 terrorists. Some say that was not by chance.

Drunk Driving Prevention Speaker: Drunk Driving Victim and Substance Abuse Prevention Speaker Paul F Davis

Paul F Davis is a drunk driving prevention speaker whose Mother was killed by drunk driver. Paul’s substance abuse prevention talks and stories awaken audiences of all ages, while helping us remember life is precious.

Don’t allow those you love and call friends to drive drunk. Value and protect the lives of those you love, as well as the other innocent people traveling on your city’s roads and highways. Drunk driving leads to personal injury, financial hardship, imprisonment, loss of life and pain and suffering for countless families.

Have a heart and think before you drink and drive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ3lBN...

Don’t drink and drive lest you die prematurely and kill somebody! Drunk driving prevention and awareness speaker Paul F Davis speaks to audiences of all ages about substance abuse prevention saving lives from the foolishness and deadly combination of drinking and driving.

Paul's beloved Mother was killed by a drunk driver in 2000, after which Paul himself was hit by a drunk driver in July, 2008 totaling Paul's car and badly injuring him. The drunk driver who hit Paul went to court and was thrown in jail for her 2nd DUI in two years. Even worse the 61 y/o lady who hit Paul was driving illegally on a revoked license, she being drunk and behind the wheel at 4:40pm on a Tuesday afternoon.

Paul understandably is passionate about prevention and persuading people of all ages not to drive drunk and to drink responsibly. Paul's personal stories of people close to him struggling with alcohol abuse and imprisonment for alcohol related misdemeanors sober up the hardest of hearts.

Paul’s talks about drunk driving prevention are heartfelt and compassionate, while simultaneously being entertaining and empowering.

The irony of Paul’s Mom being killed by a drunk driver is that she herself was a substance abuser and alcoholic who also got behind the wheel while under the influence. Years later when an 18 year-old drunk driver killed Paul’s Mother, it just reconfirmed Paul’s convictions and decision not to drink himself.

Nevertheless Paul willingly offers to be the designated driver whenever those he is around in a social setting are drinking. Paul therefore speaks with passion, while not being condemning or judgmental. Paul’s drunk driving prevention talks awake all ages, while reminding us all the importance of respecting the preciousness of life.

30,000 More Troops to Afghanistan to Win the War: Jeopardizing U.S. Economy & National Security

President Obama is being told a quick infusion of 30,000 troops into Afghanistan is the nation's last, best shot at winning the war and staving off "severe consequences for the United States and the world."

I guess the severity of our economy presently is not sufficient focus for the Obama administration. If our economy continues to worsen and our expenditures in foreign theaters of war continues to increase, by reason of a bankrupted country our national security will be fatally and forever jeopardized on a far larger scale.

Tell the financially motivated "advisors" within the military-industrial-complex and pundits on Capitol Hill in DC before America finds itself in far deeper water than the woes in Iraq.

Most importantly, pray our young President won't be duped or persuaded by all the clamor and fearful rhetoric about winning wars abroad while we continue to neglect our own people and lose big at home.

Tiger Woods Injuries Caused by Wife says TMZ - fact or fiction?

TMZ is claiming the injuries Tiger sustained at the scene of the accident outside his home at 2:25am were caused by his angry wife in response to allegations of cheating.
(http://www.tmz.com/2009/11/28/tiger-w...)

According to ABC news Tiger released the following statement today at his website: http://web.tigerwoods.com/news/articl...


I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

________________________________________________________

The tabloid US Magazine, never known to be a gospel source of truth in the past, has posted what they claim to be a voice mail of Tiger to Los Angeles cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs.

(http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrityne...)

Half truths and mere speculation will have to wait until Tiger and Elin come forth with their own statements.

Meanwhile the media frenzy alleging infidelity continues, while dubious women sell their souls for dough.

Tiger Woods Statement, Apology and the Media Frenzy Alleging Infidelity

According to ABC news (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/tiger-woods...) Tiger released the following statement today his website:


I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However upon visiting Tiger's website (http://web.tigerwoods.com/news/articl...), Tiger's statement says:

As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.

The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.

This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone find the link on Tiger's website where he allegedly and supposedly mentioned "regreting those transgressions" anywhere?

The tabloid US Magazine, never known to be a gospel source of truth in the past, has posted what they claim to be a voice mail of Tiger to Los Angeles cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs.

Jesus, Drinking and Befriending Sinners: Spiritual Influence and Impact Success Secrets

Recently my aunt and uncle hosted a party at their home during the holidays which many of my adult cousins and their wives attended. My parents were also there and my 31 y/o brother.

My aunt thought perhaps the drinking of many people present might have made me feel uncomfortable. Some days afterward she wrote me to somewhat apologize and express her mutual discomfort in seeing some of the excessive alcohol consumption at her house.

My answer to her inquiry is provides the heart of God, along with some insight into how disciples of Christ Jesus should respond, interact with the world and position themselves spiritually to influence and impact the lost in a dark and perishing world.

Dear Aunt ________,

Thanks for the hospitality and kindness to have all the cousins and family over this past weekend, as well as allowing my brother to spend the night afterward.



The alcohol consumption doesn't make me uncomfortable, just the smoke filled air which I have difficulty breathing in. When it became unbearable I just went inside to enjoy my mom's company.



When people drinking become aggressive, then I just leave and remove myself.



Although I don't drink I don't condemn those who do. I just want to keep my body pure and healthy.



During my last cruise ironically when in Rhodes, Greece looking for restaurants and hotels to do videos of (for future travel channel website submissions... once I attend the travel academy...when I can afford the $2,000) ...I stumbled upon a shop selling spirits and wines.



I managed to obtain enough favor with the owner of the family run business to shoot a video of him and his shop.



Greek Spirits and Wines Rhodes Kos Kalymnos Greece

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WRgoD...



Upon returning home, in early November the Holy Spirit spoke to me: "I'm giving you Acts chapter 21" ...only knowing the part about Philip the evangelist and his virgin daughters who prophesied, I grabbed my Bible to read through the chapter again.



To my surprise Acts 21:1 mentions "Rhodes" and "Cos" (now spelled Kos) in Greece.



Upon getting home and looking at the business card of the spirits and wines store owner, his family owns shops in Rhodes, Kos and Kalymnos.



People who want to drink will do so regardless of my personal preference or convictions. Yet if they get tired of their "spirits" I have a greater Spirit that will forever quench everyone's thirst and cause rivers of living water to flow forth in their bellies with eternal life (John 7:37-39).



www.PaulFDavis.com/supernatural-power videos from around the world as evidence of the above



Yet Jesus said "I will make you fishers of men" (Mark 1:17).



So when I wrote a description for the "Greek spirits and wines" video, I said:



Greek spirits & wines in Rhodes, Kos & Kalymnos, Greece serving cruise ships, hotels, restaurants, yachts & taverns (info@marinossa.gr). For Holy Spirit http://www.PaulFDavis.com/supernatura... (info@PaulFDavis.com)



Hence by "making friends" of business men with wealth and influence (as Jesus instructed in Luke 16:8-9) I can in time cross over into their relationships and influence more people.



Jesus was a "friend of sinners" (Luke 7:34).



As a minister I can have no impact unless I first have contact. The natural precedes the supernatural.



Delay is not denial.



God will surely have his way and draw near to those desirous of and seeking Him.



What we put in our mouths does not defile us, but what comes out of our mouths in speech from the overflow of our hearts (Luke 6:45; Matthew 15:18-20).



Therefore all is well concerning me.



I know the Prince of peace and pray the same for the rest of my family.



Their preoccupation with substances that destroy their bodies and dull their senses shall never satisfy.



Yet sometimes the stiffnecked and hard of hearing need to be able to run their course full force down a dead end street so that the destruction of their flesh can eventually awaken their spirits as to their need of spiritual life in Christ (see 1Corinthians 5:5).



As for my body, it remains the temple of the Holy Spirit, which I continually try to sanctify and set apart for God's use so that more divine love, wisdom and supernatural power can flow to and through me throughout the earth for God's glory (see Romans 12:1-2, 1Corinthians 6:19-20).



I trust Papa and Naunie would delight in hearing this from me.



Thank you for caring, checking on me and asking.



I love and appreciate you and uncle _____.

Tim Tebow Success Secrets Leading Florida Gators to SEC and National Championships

Tim Tebow led the Florida Gators to another victory over FSU tonight in preparation for the national college football championship against #2 Alabama next week. Hebrews 12:1-2 written on Tebow's face beneath his eyes was misquoted then half quoted by the TV announcer.

First the TV announcer supposed the Scripture written on Tim's face was Hebrews 12:12, which he read following Tebow's 47 yard run, ended by a fumble when three to four defenders stripped the ball from him.

Hebrews 12:12 reads: "Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees."

However later the announcer backtracked and apologized realizing that the inscription under Tim's eyes was in fact Hebrews 12:1-2.

Shortly thereafter between plays he read Hebrews 12:1, which reads: "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us."

Yet verse 2 was never mentioned.

Therefore in justice in the great quarterback and leader on and off the gridiron Tim Tebow, who loves and serves the same God, I provide you the latter half of the Scripture he wanted you to know.

Hebrews 12:2 reads: "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has risen to set down at right hand of the throne of God."

Usually Tim in the past wore John 3:16 every game day since his junior year of college football. Undoubtedly the most often quoted Scripture worldwide, John 3:16 reads:

"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Tim Tebow and coach Urban Meyer exemplify leadership with the utmost humility and love for their team, students and fans supporting the Florida Gators.

I'm always touched to hear both of these men speak. Toward the end of the game the announcer mentioned that coach Urban Meyer either had everyone of his senior football players who are graduating individually over to his house, or personally went to their home.

Coach Meyer often mentions the heart of the Gator players saying how "invested" they are in the athletic program. Undoubtedly coach Meyer loves his athletes and is equally invested in them and it shows in how hard they play when they get on the field.

Tim's parents and siblings are missionaries serving in the Philippines and Bangladesh respectively, no small undertaking indeed. I know because I've done missionary work overseas in impoverished nations and visited countries such as these throughout Asia.

Above and beyond Tim's SEC and national college football championships, his character and leadership is commendable. Undoubtedly Tim is a bright star shining forth the glory of God on and off the field, living an exemplary life worthy of us to follow as he follows Christ his Lord and Savior.
