Hey Jim,

I just remembered that today is the 16th of December and according to what I read
UP THERE it's supposed to be a bank holiday. I checked all the news sources and couldn't find any mention of that. Are the banks open???

I believe the Fed is still alive and kicking or am I mistaken?

Shalom,

Peter

WASHINGTON(Reuters) - Voicing some optimism about a stabilizing economy, theFederal Reserve on Wednesday left its benchmark federal funds rate onhold near zero and reminded markets that it will let most of itsspecial liquidity facilities expire by early next year.

Concluding a two day meeting, the Fed voted unanimously to keepbenchmark borrowing costs in a zero to 0.25 percent range, and saideconomic conditions would likely warrant holding rates exceptionallylow for "an extended period."

Ooooops, I guess the "very reliable sources" UP THERE goofed yet again Jim. Can it be that you can't depend on them there sources at all? Sorta reminds me of the MSM. Creating news instead of reporting on actual news and facts. Hmmmm, I wonder if they have an agenda of their own with all the disinformation or should I call it misinformation? Something to think about.

Shalom,

Peter and Jim it really bothers me that we have these so-called fortune tellers, I can't think of what else to call them, here in our community hell bent on deceiving people, especially the very gullible. Since this is a form of the occult I would like you to read this:

Divination, Fortune-telling, Mediums, Spiritism, Necromancy, Familiar Spirits, Wizardry, Seances, Channeling, Clairvoyance, Spirit-guides

The Bible strongly warns people not to consult mediums and spiritists for the truth, but to inquire of God (Isaiah 8:19). Clearly, if those who practiced these arts have any power (beyond being great deceivers), it is not a gift from God (as some falsely claim). The Bible condemns and forbids these practices several times (Deuteronomy 18:9-14; Isaiah 44:25; Jeremiah 27:9; 2 Kings 21:6; 23:24). Divination and Spiritism were despised practices of the heathens (Ezekiel 21:21; Isaiah 19:3; 1 Samuel 28). Scripture says that one of the reasons King Saul died was "because he consulted a medium for guidance" rather than God (1 Chronicles 10:13-14).

The Bible provides examples showing the folly and failures of those who claimed the ability to predict the future based on their own powers or those of spirits (Daniel 2:27, etc.). God calls the word of diviners “nonsense,” “lies” and “deception” for foolish people (Ezekiel 13:8; Jeremiah 14:14; Isaiah 44:25). God said, "Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!" (Ezekiel 13:3). If an Israelite lived the deceitful practice of being a medium, it was punishable by death (Leviticus 20:27). The presence of a medium or spiritist among God's people of Israel was considered a defilement (Leviticus 19:31). All these practices take people further from their Creator, the true and living God.

Following omens or signs

We are not to look to omens or “signs” to direct our lives. The Bible reprimands people for doing this. It is an “abomination” and foolishness (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Look to God and His instructions for life as provided in the Bible. To do otherwise is to foolishly deceive yourself, or allow Satan and others to deceive you.
