Leadership Speaker Success Secrets - Not to Do Lists :o)

"A great company is more likely to die of indigestion from too many opportunities than experience starvation from too little." Hewlitt Packard

To summarize, success is determined more by what you say NO to than by what you say YES to.

Focus and build on your strengths. Delegate and find help to attend to your weaknesses and that which you are less passionate about ...the things not paramount in relation to your purpose and highest and best use of time.

Fight for your focus and go forward without distraction, neither be seduced by fatal attractions!

Desicated Liver and Protein Powders - Can Anyone Help?

Can anyone recommend a chemical free protein powder with a fully loaded amino acid chain for muscular recovery and a desicated liver formula as well with less chemicals and harmful substances?

http://www.healingfoodreference.com/d... which I thought was a great product (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...) until my wife told me the Uni-Liver I was taking http://www.vitacost.com/Universal-Nut... has these harmful substances:
L-Phenylalanine
L-Cystine
Glutamate acid
Aspartac acid

The lady at the health food store agreed with me, but said these come with the amino acid complex in every protien essentially and that they are unavoidable.

The book Excitotoxins however says many of these substances by themselves as food additives should be avoided.

How about by themselves in an organic Argentine liver formula? Is there a desiccated liver formula you recommend?

How about a protein powder? I was using American Whey until my wife showed me it has Ace-K (an excitotoxin shown to cause cancer in lab tests on animals, brain tumors, etc.) so I immediately stopped using.

Now my energy levels are lower and my muscles don't repair after workouts as quick, while I sort through which protein powder and desiccated liver formula to use???

Cam you or anyone help?

Haiti Mission Trip - Prayer, Airfare, Support and Sponsorship Needed

One thing I learned about rescue relief work from serving at ground zero during 9-11 and the tsunami epicenter in Indonesia where 200,000 people died... the people most in need sometimes don't always get the support donated because the big NGO's and gov't figureheads hold the cash and don't always freely disburse.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui7Zxy... tsunami epicenter Indonesia video

I have been to Haiti before and am aware of their struggles governmentally, societally, infrastructurally, educationally, politically and religiously. Nevertheless I believe God will work miracles to help, heal, comfort and care for the suffering throughout Haiti.

Together we can do much if we come together to help Haiti.

OUC Orlando Utilities Commission Website Problems to Increase Profits, Late Payments and Past Due Charges

OUC Orlando Utilities Commission has purposefully for years made their website difficult to delay consumers in route to making their payments in a timely fashion.

Recently after I had just finally gotten used to navigating through OUC's awful website, they changed it so now consumers have to click through several screens to locate their account records, charges and (as if that is not enough already) OUC then makes you click on another link to make a payment.

Although the consumer's account number had already been retrieved upon logging into the OUC website, Orlando Utilities Commission thought when it is time to pay that their website should direct consumers to a few more pages to delay the process.

Then to further frustrate consumers OUC makes it so on the final pre-payment page consumers again have to put their account number in (beyond the username and password that previously seconds earlier retrieved the numerical account number).

So if consumers can remember the OUC numerical account number, they then have to type it in (as you cannot copy and paste it from the previous page - another OUC web design trick) the payment page before OUC allows consumers to pay.

As a result of all OUC's website nonsense I was late a month making a payment and OUC charged me a

Past due amount of $3.41 which they greedily charge interest on monthly to increase accordingly if you resist paying it.

OUC Orlando Utilities Commission's website is designed to delay consumer payments, cause late payments to occur and increase their revenue (in my opinion).

American History Unedited is Unconstitutional in Public Schools

Public schools in some states and counties don't want to hear God mentioned, nor the faith of the signers of the Declaration of Independence (two-thirds of whom were graduates from Biblical seminaries and devout churchgoers). Moreover as the U.S. Constitution declared stealing the Indians' land as justified and right via the "highest and best use" theory, we know legislators in Washington today can likewise be corrupt, misled and flawed in their initiatives to "serve" we the people (while serving themselves).

Here below is a wonderful correspondence I received from a man whom I highly esteem by the name of David Barton, founder and president of Wall Builders committed to fully present America's history and heroes with an emphasis on our moral, religious and constitutional heritage.

I received this email below from newsletter@wallbuilders.com on January 15, 2010.

According to Baptist Professor Derek Davis and his cronies,
apparently the answer is "Yes!"

Occasionally, the Secular and Religious Left go beyond their normal anti-religious bigotry to make claims that are just too outrageous to be ignored. This week provided such an example. (While this email is longer than normal, I think you'll find it filled with useful and interesting information.)

Several months ago, I was one of six expert reviewers appointed by the 15-member elected Texas State Board of Education to give input into the drafting of the 2010 history and social studies standards for textbooks. (This is a task I have previously performed in other states.) Although these standards we formulate will initially apply to Texas students, they will soon become the standards used in textbooks across the nation.

Last year, writing teams of Texas teachers drafted the 2010 proposed standards. We, the expert reviewers, were asked to point out where we thought changes should be made; the State Board of Education would then make their decision about which (if any) of our hundreds of proposed suggestions to adopt.

When I reviewed the proposed standards, I found many reasons for concern. The writing teams had recommended the removal of Nathan Hale, Daniel Boone, and General George Patton; they eradicated Columbus Day, Martin Luther King Day, and Christmas (but they did add Diwali as a holiday). They also declared that to say there was "an American love of individualism, inventiveness, and freedom" was to express inappropriate "value language," and they also rejected the concept of identifying specific beliefs that contributed to our "national identity." In fact, they declared that students needed to be shaped "for responsible citizenship in a global society," but not citizenship in American society. And instead of an emphasis on the positive things about America (i.e., American Exceptionalism), America was often shown as fault-ridden – as a global villain.

I made known my opposition to these and other positions in my official reviews and offered suggestions for positive change. My first review (from July, 2009) is posted on the state website, as is my second review (from September 2009).

Those two official reviews were 43,538 words in length, and contained three mentions of Christianity. In the first review, I pointed out how early colonial Christian leaders such as William Penn and Roger Williams insisted on having written constitutions to limit the government; I also showed how American Christians and Jews cooperated together in the American Revolution. In the second review, I noted the current polling on religious affiliation in America to demonstrate that the mention of Christmas should be reinstated in the standards. Those three simple mentions of Christianity caused the Left to explode.

Groups such as the Texas Freedom Network (the state arm of the radical People for the American Way) joined with other radicals in the Religious Left to denounce my mentions of Christianity. They nationally distributed a press release of outrageously false claims that were soon parroted by ABC, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, etc.

On Wednesday, January 13, the Texas State Board of Education met to begin the process of voting on the final recommendations for social studies textbooks; many of the board members know me very well and are very familiar with the lies of the Left (having themselves been subjected to them on many occasions). Hopefully, they will reinstate traditional American heroes and patriotic values, focus on the teaching of history rather than modern pop culture, and include coverage of good characteristics about America. Not surprisingly, however, the anti-religious secularist bigots made known their presence (and their ridiculous claims) at the meeting.

One of those in the Religious Left is Christian secularist, Dr. Derek Davis, Dean of Humanities at Mary Hardin Baylor (a Baptist University) and director of the school's Center for Religious Liberty. Although he heads a department at a major Christian university, he is a national evangelist for a completely secular public square; and based on his previous statements, he apparently wants to see all mentions of Christianity confined, like pornography, to the privacy of one's own personal life.

Dr. Davis amazingly asserts in the Houston Chronicle that a mention of Christianity in American history standards will "violate the Constitution" because it will portray "the United States as a Christian nation in some legal sense."

While there is no such recommendation in the standards, consider the stupidity of what he purports. According to Dr. Davis, it would "violate the Constitution" if the history texts were to include information from the more than 300 court rulings over the past two centuries that have declared America to be a Christian nation. Imagine! He believes it would be unconstitutional to let students know what courts have affirmed for 200 years!

He similarly believes that it would be unconstitutional for students to see the public declarations of American presidents on the same subject – declarations such as:

Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on that God Who has never yet forsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulty [i.e., the Civil War:]. 1 PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN


No candid observer will deny that whatever of good there may be in our American civilization is the product of Christianity. 2 The teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure to ourselves what that life would be if these teachings were removed. 3 PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT


America was born a Christian nation – America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture. 4 PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON


American life is builded, and can alone survive, upon . . . the fundamental philosophy announced by the Savior nineteen centuries ago. 5 PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER


If the spirit of God is not in us and if we will not prepare to give all that we have and all that we are to preserve Christian civilization in our land, we shall go to destruction. 6 We cannot read the history of our rise and development as a Nation without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic. 7 PRESIDENT FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT


This is a Christian Nation. More than a half century ago that declaration was written into the decrees of the highest court in this land. 8 In this great country of ours has been demonstrated the fundamental unity of Christianity and democracy. 9 PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN


We are Christian nations, deeply conscious that the foundation of all liberty is religious faith. 10 PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

In these last 200 years, we have guided the building of our Nation and our society by those principles and precepts brought to earth nearly 2,000 years ago on that first Christmas. 11 PRESIDENT LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON


Let us remember that as a Christian nation . . . that we have a charge and a destiny. 12 PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON


Of the many influences that have shaped the United States of America into a distinctive Nation and people, none may be said to be more fundamental and enduring than the Bible. 13 PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

According to Dr. Davis, it would "violate the Constitution" to present these, or the hundreds of similar statements by our elected presidents, or to tell students what our federal and state courts have repeatedly declared! Amazing!

Apparently, Dr. Davis (and the others among the growing group of militant so-called "Christian" secularists) has not read the Constitution – or even the decisions by modern liberal Supreme Courts that have held that history cannot be censored simply because it is Christian. Nevertheless, Dr. Davis and his cohorts have found it a useful tactic to claim that something with which they disagree is "unconstitutional."

We need to stop the use of this ridiculous tactic. How?

FIRST, begin with the wise recommendation of Founding Father John Jay:

Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country. . . . By knowing their rights, they will sooner perceive when they are violated and be the better prepared to defend and assert them. 14

SECOND, the next time the Left claims something is "unconstitutional," insist that they prove it by citing the relevant part of the Constitution.

FINALLY, when the intolerant anti-religious bigots try to intimidate Americans from presenting an accurate view of American history, let's make our voices heard on talk shows and in letters to the editors, denouncing their attempt to rewrite American history and censor expressions of religious faith.

It's time for some new voices to be heard in the debate – the voices of common sense, well-informed citizens who have no agenda but to see the best for our great country. It's time for your voice to be heard!

God Bless!

David Barton

Growing in God's Grace Beyond Forgiveness, Guilt and Regrets

The two undeniable signs of a Christian is someone who is giving and forgiving. Yet many have a hard time receiving God's grace to forgive themselves and forget the past. The apostle Paul said "This one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind and reaching forth unto those things that are in front of and before me" (Philippians 3:13).

Growing in God's grace means we get what is behind us mentally and emotionally behind us, discarding and dropping old baggage and weights within.

We who believe and receive Christ are now under His atoning and cleansing blood, being free to live above the guilt and regrets of the past to persevere onward into divine purposes and eternal fruitfulness that lasts!

Like your butt, your past is behind you and your eyes are in front of you. Now go forward and get busy working on your future.

It's hard to go forward when you are bound to a memory and continually looking in the rear view mirror.

Lift up your eyes for new horizons in God.

Receive God's unconditional love and forgiveness to forgive yourself and move beyond your past to treasure your present and pursue your future.

Blessings and breakthroughs!

Paul
