Have you ever heard of Laminin?



The image above is a diagram of what Laminin looks like. Laminin is a type of protein that essentially holds us and animals together (in very laymen terms). Christians are making the connection of the cross shape of Laminin with Jesus Christ who HOLDS all things together.

Colossians 1:15-17 states, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth , visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things HOLD TOGETHER. "

Truth or Fiction, a website that investigates eRumors finds the information circulating around the Internet to be true. The following comes from their website:


Laminin, an Important Protein that Looks Like a Cross-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor:
The eRumor talks of a substance called "laminin" that is described as part of a family of proteins that "hold us together." Then there is a picture of laminin---which looks like a cross.

The Truth:
This story leads into complex considerations of science and biology but the main questions it prompts are whether laminin is as important as the eRumor claims and does it have a shape like a cross.

The simple answer to both questions seems to be yes.

Laminin is defined by the Webster Medical Dictionary as a "glycoprotein that is a component of connective tissue basement membrane and that promotes cell adhesion." In other words, looking at laminin as a kind of glue isn't far from the truth. There are several different laminins.

In their book The Laminins authors Peter Elkblom and Rupert Timpl go into more detail about both the importance of laminins and their structure. They describe laminins that, together with other proteins, "hold cells and tissues together." They also say, "Electron microscopy reveals a cross-like shape for all laminins investigated so far." They went on to say that in solution the laminin shapes were more like a flower than a cross. The strands of laminins do not always stand straight and at right angles, but they do consists of arms, three of which are short and one of which is long.

Research has been conducted on laminins in connection with numerous conditions and diseases. It has been found, for example, that people with congenital muscular dystrophies do not have laminin-alpha2, which is normally found in the layer of cells around muscle fibers and other cells important to the structural integrity of muscle cells.

Transformed By Troubles

Transformed by trouble

God has a purpose behind every problem.
He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus then he depends our Reading the Bible. The reason is obvious. You face circumstances 24 hours a day.

Jesus warned us that we would have problems in the world. No one is immune to pain or insulated from suffering, and no one gets to skate through life problems-free. But life is a series of problems. Every time you solve one, another is waiting to take its place. Not all of them are big, but all are significant in God’s growth process for you. Peter assures us that problems are normal, saying, “Don’t be bewildered or surprise when you go through the fiery trials ahead, for this is no strange unusual thing that is going to happen to you.”

God uses problems to draw you closer to himself. The Bible says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in sprit.”. Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days--- when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when you’re out of options, when the pain is great--- and you turn to God alone. It’s during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heartfelt, honest-to-God prayers. When we’re in pain, we don’t have the energy for superficial prayers.

When life is rosy, we may slide by with knowing about Jesus, with intimating him and quoting him and speaking of him. But only in suffering will we know Jesus. We learn things about God in suffering that we can’t learn any other way

God could have kept Joseph out of jail, kept Daniel out of the Lion’s den, kept Jeremiah from being tossed into the slimy pit, Kept Paul from being shipwrecked three times, and kept the three Hebrew young men from being thrown into the blazing furnace but he didn’t. He let those problems happen, and every one of those persons was drawn closer to God as a result.

Problems force us to look to God and he depend on him instead of ourselves. Paul testified to this benefit: “We felt we were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves, but that was good, for then we put everything into the hands of God, who alone could save us.” You’ll never know that God is all you need until God is all you got.

Regardless of the cause, none of your problems could happen without God’s permission. Everything that happens to a child of God is father filtered, and he intends to use it for good even when Satan and others mean it for bad.

Every problem is a character building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber. Paul said, “We know that these troubles produced patients. patient produces character. What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.


Problems don’t automatically produce what God intends. Many people become bitter, rather than better, and never grow up. You have to respond the way Jesus would.

Remember that God’s plan is good. God knows what is best for you and has your best interests at heart. God told Jeremiah, “The plans I have for you [are] plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Joseph understood this truth when he told his brothers who had sold him into slavery, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.”

It is vital that you stay focused on God’s plan, not your pain or problems, That is how Jesus endured the pain of the cross, and we are urged to follow his example.. Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterwards.

If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you’ll be at rest. Your focus will determine your feelings. The secret of endurance is to remember that your pain is temporary but your reward will be eternal. Moses endured a life of problems because he was looking ahead to his reward. Paul endured hardship the same way. He said our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurable great glory that will last forever. Don’t give in to short term thinking. Stay focused on the end results. If we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later.

Rejoice and give thanks. the Bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

The Bible says, rejoice in the Lord always. It doesn’t say rejoice over your pain. You rejoice in the Lord. No matter what happens, you can rejoice in God’s loving care wisdom power and faithfulness. Jesus said before of joy at that time because you have a great reward waiting for you in heaven.

We can also rejoice in knowing that God is going through the pain with us. We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging clichés safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the incarnation, and the Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us on our own.

If you’re facing troubles right now, don’t ask, why me? Instead ask, what do you want me to learn? Then trust God and keep on doing what’s right. You need to stick it out, staying with God’s plan so you’ll be there for the promised completion. Don’t give up grow up.

A program that is taking off as we speak! Get in NOW.

Hey! How's it going?


This video shows how you, as an ordinary person, can have someone else buy and sell acquisitions on your behalf, have all the work done for you-- and give YOU incredible returns!


*****************************************************************
https://affordableaffiliates.com/member/1189
*****************************************************************


When I tell you that no other Internet Marketer will ever show you an Opportunity like this, unless it IS this, I mean it.

I know that sounds pretty heavy, but I also know that the President of the company in this video has been involved in deals that have made the top Marketing Guru's look like infants. You get one person bragging about making $10k in one day, and another telling you how they made $1.9 Million in 9 Months. It's all great news for them, but what's in it for you? ...Besides forking out your own money to learn their system, that is. Who knows, what they preach may even be a good program-- but in all likelihood, you will never be able to achieve the same results as they have, without the same Joint Venture partners as they do.


*****************************************************************
In a hurry?
https://affordableaffiliates.com/member/1189
*****************************************************************


The system I am showing you today will not make you a "Kazillion Dollars" in 12 Months.

This system won't over-promise and under-deliver, like 90% of the "Marketing Guru"-run systems out there.

I may sound harsh today, but I'm frankly sick of some of the garbage that some top Marketers are peddling, begging for your Dollar to keep themselves rich. They're using a Global Recession and using social proof to try and convince you that you need to spend Thousands of Dollars right now; to buy into, and learn their systems, or otherwise get eaten up by the poor economy.

Alright... now that I have that off of my chest...


Let The Affordable Affiliates Network capitalize on today's economy, strong or not, and start working FOR YOU!


Here, there is nothing to learn. There is no giant lists required. There is no "pay-per-click" required for website traffic.

In fact, with AAN, there is NO TRAFFIC REQUIRED.

With AAN, nothing is required - other than your Undivided attention to this Opportunity video. Pay attention; this is world's first TRULY PASSIVE Income Creating System!

This is one that you truly "Set and Forget".
https://affordableaffiliates.com/member/1189


How many times have you heard "Set and Forget", just to find out later on that you had to do much, much more? Setting up an Auto-responder? Driving website Traffic to your link? Socially marketing the product? Several other other things not explained initially on the sales page?

How would you like this - take the following example: "Imagine placing $100 into a system, and in 12 months, you had withdrawn $250 INTO YOUR POCKET. Sounds exciting? But here's the real kicker: On top of your pocketed earnings, imagine ALSO having an additional $470 accumulated in a system always growing-and-returning money for you on a monthly basis? Another year passes, and you had withdrawn another $400, alongside an additional $1000+ in the system?

Following the example, Year 3 rolls around; you've taken enough money out for a Family Vacation, and you now have $3,000+ in the system working for You."


...Are these the kind of Interest Rates you'd like to learn more about?

How would you like setting this up once, and as fast as it takes to send a few bucks through a payment processor or credit card? How would you like a Millionaire, with 20 years of experience in creating huge returns, get put to work for you? Yes, you read that correctly. Simply deposit a few dollars (your choice) to a revolutionary company, ran by an individual who controls Millions of Dollars of assets, which he grew by starting with a single coffee cup, bought for 25 cents.

I'm not telling you this for "what's in it for me"... Truthfully, there are other Affiliate Programs online that can put a lot more money in MY pocket in the short term. I am telling you about this because with The Affordable Affiliates Network, Chris Bell and his team will do all the work for you, and has over 20 Years of experience alone in this field.

It's inconceivable to most people, the absolutely incomprehensible returns which one can get on their money; if they have the know-how, the resources, the time...

Here you do not need, time, resources, expertise, effort, or traffic:

...You only need a couple of bucks.

Faith Thoughts From Glenn on Church in Florida Plan to Burn Koran

Faith Thoughts From Glenn on Church in Florida Plan to Burn Koran

* Posted on September 6, 2010 at 9:35pm by Glenn Beck Glenn Beck


I’m on vacation and trying to unplug but the news can make that hard. I just read the story about the Florida church planning to burn copies of the Koran.

What is wrong with us? It’s just like the Ground Zero mosque plan. Does this church have the right? Yes. Should they? No. And not because of the potential backlash or violence. Simply because it is wrong. The more I reflect on what happened on 8/28 the more I realize the amazing power of GOOD.

We must be the better person. We must be bigger than our problems. Bigger than the times in which we live. Burning the Koran is like burning the flag or the Bible. You can do it, but whose heart will you change by doing it? You will only harden the hearts of those who could be moved. None of those who are thinking about killing us will be affected, but our good Muslim friends and neighbors will be saddened. It makes the battle that they face inside their own communities even harder.

Let us rise above the current levels and elevate ourselves and our country. The only thing this act would prove is that you CAN burn a Koran. I didn’t know America was in doubt on that fact. Let’s prove to each other that while there are many things we can do, there are maybe many more things that we choose not to do.

As Proud Citizen of the UNited States,

In my 66 years of my life as a proud citizen the United States of America, this is the first time. I felt that a president of our country, holds his fellow Americans in the United States in contempt, I don't think I've ever felt such an overwhelming feeling of rejection as they do with this administration. It's as though everything that was raised so probably to hold dear and true has been denigrated. Every single day we hear something else that is a slap in the face of every patriot, I pray that we will see relief in November, because I know that I am not the only American that feels the frustration. It is unimaginable to me, what might happen if we cannot find some relief in November. It seems to me. The sediments are not widely held in this country, my friends and acquaintances, and even strangers. During my travels, I often don't want to talk about politics anymore, some say they can't bear to watch the news, because of Obama's daily assaults on all we hold dear. And yet he continues, deliberately and unapologetically, to force his agenda & will on the nation.
The facts speak for themselves, as does Obama's destructive record.

For all his posturing about bipartisanship, and his openness to all ideas, his action have shown all partisan, close minded and determined to implement his agenda, At any cost. And he has detailed the corrupted and high handed tactics. He has used in the process.

Obama doesn't link to the people. He brazenly ignores our wishes, indeed is pleased, that he would cease and detest from this reckless course, and is far from showing the normal concern of a politician. Even a statesman would have ignored his own amazing popularity, Obama moves forward at double time pace, never looking back, and never revealing the slightest inkling of self-doubt.

In his road to socialism, Obama will hope for no challenge. In response to the measurable results of his economic plans, he maintains things would have been much worse without his initiatives. And after he failed to keep his grandiose promise to improve American diplomacy, he gave us more of the same. In the meantime he continues to insult our allies and pamper our enemies.

Doesn't worry him that America is in decline. Under his leadership? Obviously not, any voice's contempt for American exceptionalism and pledges to rectify a related unfair consummation of the world's resources. In fact, one can't help but notice that a declining America actually exist if his ideology went well.

It's wasteful stimulus and mortgage bailout packages, along with its fostering nationalize healthcare on this nation, are just the beginning. He is hell-bent on passing a cap and trade bill that will further destroy our prospects for economic recovery and future growth. His plans to boost taxes, including a possible the VAT (value added tax), is also on the front burner, and we shouldn't be surprised if he is ultimately tries to exact a wealth tax whereby he taxes, not just our income and sales transaction, but our Private property, many reasonable fear their pension funds are more mobile and right for the taking. If that happens, you can be sure that debt, exploding Obama will insist is doing us a favor by confiscating our lives earnings to rectify the debt crisis, he himself is largely responsible. Small businesses and producers everywhere weight in anxiety for the next series of shoes to drop from the Socialists programs of Obama's agenda.

All this weren't bad enough, it's urgent push for comprehensive immigration reform has just gotten under way. Expect this initiative, to be loaded with more than the normal amount of demagoguery and populism, as this supposedly post-racial president plays the race card on steroids and route to disseminating rule of law. And what remains of America's unique culture.

Some maintain Obama is intentionally wrecking affect on America as part of a lowered. strategy to manufacture a crisis in order to destroy the nation as we know it and rebuild it into a socialistic image. Others argue Obama is sold deeply in he’s socialist dogma that he is impervious to the manifest evidence of its failure. Regardless of which scenario may be correct, the out come would be the same.

Americans, former skeptics on the right side of the aisle, should now understand how committed Obama is to his far left agenda. They should finally grasp how far the left is willing to go when they are in power. Their talk of moving past partisanship is designed to cover the radical designs. They are precisely the opposite of what they hold themselves up to be freedom loving, compassionate, pro-economic growth, bullish on America Democratic, tolerant, and calm compromising.

America is in a dangerously rapid nose dive under Obama's navigation. The key to our delivery from this systematic assault is for the American people to understand Obama's extremist agenda, to getting engaged, and do everything we can to peaceably remove him and his supporters from office at election time and replace them with Constitutional values and , liberty loving public servants that respect the rule of law.

No matter how bleak conditions look now, we have reason for optimism, and the American people, like no other people in world history, love our liberty bestowed upon us by our founding fathers and preserved by the blood of our patriot brothers and sisters.

God bless America.

Reality Shock: Your Hospital May be killing You!

Reality Shock: Your Hospital May be Killing You

Just when we thought it was safe to go back to the ER, there is now an emerging reality that your next trip to the hospital could kill you. In the midst of the political wrangling spurred by the highly controversial health care reform legislations, the debate rages on as to the quality of health care here in the United States. And, while there is plenty of evidence to show that a person who needs a lung transplant would fare much better in the U.S. than say, Canada, there's a growing concern that our hospitals are turning into death traps for the masses.

Long suspected (and little discussed) the dirty little secret is that our nation's hospitals have turned into breeding grounds for mutant diseases and infections that have become impervious to even the most advanced antibiotics. Couple this unsettling fact with the alarming rate of deaths caused by malpractice, incompetence, over-medication, under-treatment and avoidance of preventative medicine, it's not difficult to believe that our hospitals now rank as one of the leading causes of death among all Americans.

Consider these startling facts:

The CDC reports that each year nearly 2,000,000 hospital patients develop some sort of infection and that nearly 5% of those cases end in death!

Deaths due to improper or mistaken medications increase by 10% each summer at medical school hospitals. Why? That's when freshly graduated med students take over the ERs and ICUs of those hospitals.

Understaffing of overburdened ERs have led to (continue reading)
