Illinois just got $89 million dollars richer now watch what happens

My wife sent me this article titled “US grants Illinois $89 million to fight homelessness” written by The Associated Press and posted today, Mar 09, 2016 on WREX.com.  The article reports that “nearly $89 million in federal money has been awarded to Illinois to battle homelessness.  The Department of Housing and Urban Development announced Tuesday the money will support more than 360 programs to provide housing and service programs to homeless people.  Officials say the grants under the "Continuum of Care" program are the most competitive to date. To compete, communities had to decide, for example, to shift money from existing programs to create new ones to have a longer-lasting effect.  The government estimates there were 565,000 people who were homeless on a given night in 2015. They say that's down 72,000 -- or 11 percent -- from 2010.  They add that homelessness among veterans has declined 36 percent”.

For some this may sound like great news and if Christian-minded people really did handle the purse strings, it would be but we know this is not the case.  That in authority has been serving evil for so long that they actually think this grant is theirs to control and horde and they will.  Look for small instances of budget gaps being suddenly filled and a so-called broke state all of a sudden having money to not fix roads, bridges or provide jobs and definitely not to strip abandoned buildings turning them into housing for the homeless.  Look for more non-profits to show up with their hands out and if they know special people gather up these millions only to end up being in the same situation that they are now.  This is not hyperbole, this is fact and if all who reside in the State of Illinois was to pay very close attention, they too would arrive at this junction.


The government says that homelessness is down 11 percent from 2010 but is it because many found homes, did they just die off or did those given the task to report these numbers modify them to suit the cause?  How many of you would be surprised to find that the decline in veteran homelessness is due to veterans ceasing to say that they are homeless instead of admitting to it?  These are the people that we sent to Springfield and if we refuse to take full responsibility for sending and keeping them there then we stand just as guilty as those who misdirect funds to fill budget gaps and believe it or not people, when it is our time to answer for this, we shall.  Follow the money and as it disappears and the homeless numbers drop on paper instead of reality, take a peek in the mirror and make sure that image staring back at you is the first one that you blame.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

The Sum Total of all our Experiences and our Reactions to Them By Dr. Ronnie Manns, NP, Psy,D., FAIHCP

  At the Start In the second term of conception, when the fetus begins to form, so does parts of the brain.   The parts of the brain that begin to form contain only one cognitive component which is called the Mix-Match Negative (MMN).   This portion has two major functions, the first is to instruct that body when it is time to form the different parts of the fetus body and organs, the second, and one which will present more influence than any other aspect of our existence is designed to record every event that happens to us and our reactions to them. All the information created and recorded by the MMN is sent to the temporal lobe to be housed and disseminated when necessary.   These recordings begin to establish your normal, the safe harbor you will run to every time something like a past event or even similar to it happens because it is the only defense you have and the safest place to be. How this works is based on the example of being born.   For nine (9) months we are safe,
