Apparently Oprah Winfrey has started her own religion, or if not, she is deliberately leading people away from the ONE TRUE GOD and the ONE TRUE CHRIST!
For a video about this, watch this You-Tube video called "The Church of Opera Exposed!". In this video you hear Oprah herself deny the divinity of Jesus! This video is also featured on God-Tube (One Word Church and Oprah Winfrey -- 666).
For a sample recruitment video for Oprah's new age religious movement, watch this .... O, The Oprah Religion Recruitment Video # 1.
In this Larry King interview with Oprah, you hear Oprah talking about the book that started all of this for her... It is the book called...The Secret, which apparently has been made into a movie and has its own web-site. For more info about the book, "The Secret" (click here).
There is also another book that Oprah credits for her "new found" religious ideas. It is called...A New Earth. She has publicly featured this book in her book club.
Snopes.com addresses this issue in this article about Oprah and new age religions.
Please check out these resources for yourself and pass the word on to those who still think Oprah is such a great person! I would also boycott the Oprah Show.
In the meantime, pray for Oprah and her mixed-up followers. After all she is still a child of God. She is just very confused!

Interesting Dream
I had a very interesting dream last night. I think it is very symbolic in some sort of way.
I dreamed that one morning I woke up and sitting outside in my back yard was a desk. It looked like an plain old normal teacher's desk like you would see at school. At first I thought someone had just dropped off the desk in my yard, until I realized that my back yard does not face the street and it is fenced in. As I walked outside to try and figure out how to move the desk to the front yard so the city could come dispose of it, I heard a voice telling me to take the desk apart. Startled by the voice, I asked, "Who's there?" The voice once again gently, yet firm, to take the desk apart. A drawer on the desk was slightly open and when I looked inside there was a set of screwdrivers. "Take the desk apart!", the voice said again. At this point I figured it must be God talking to me, so I took the desk apart. It took me all day to do it because some of the screws were very tight and unusually long. When I finished taking the desk apart it was near evening, so I stacked up the pieces and left them on my back patio.
The next morning the desk was there again, put back together. Except this was a slightly different desk. It was a little nicer looking, yet smaller. Once again, God told me, to take the desk apart. I told Him, I had things to do, and God, firmly said, "You need to take the desk apart!" Not wanting to argue with God, I started to take the desk apart. Once again it took me all day. There were a lot of screws in a desk so small. This time I bagged up the parts in a trash bag to throw away in the morning.
The next morning, another desk was out in the yard. This time it was a nice wooden desk, firmly built, with a new computer sitting on top of the desk. God asked me to bring the family out to look at the desk. This time my wife heard the voice. She and I both agreed it sounded a little like Russel Crowe. ??? Anyway we brought the kids out to see the desk. They thought it was "awesome". After looking at the new desk for a while, we turned around and saw something else. Our home was like new. It looked like it had been remodeled and it had fresh paint and a new roof. The inside was also fixed up with new furniture. Then Jamie (my wife) and I heard God say, "If you trust in me, I will make all things new, even when it seems like I want you to destroy what you have!"
So what do you think? What does this mean? I first thought of my jobs. Since I am a teacher by trade, I thought of the desks as symbolic of my teaching jobs. The first desk, my old job in Gilmer. The second my current job at Kilgore College. The third desk, I have no idea. If you factor in the computer, I thought of the new home based business my wife and I are thinking about starting. You do need a desk for a computer right? Besides my wife finally heard God's voice with the third desk. Maybe God is setting us up for something new and better than what we have now, if we only follow his leading? Hmmm!

Blood Pressure Update & Zoo Trip
After talking to the Doctor on Friday, I am now on a temporary BP medication until I see my regular doctor on Wednesday. So far the new medication is working. I have an extremely dry mouth, but my BP was 140/92 when I arrived at work this morning. So maybe things are getting better.
My family went to the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler, TX on Sunday afternoon. We took many pictures (See below for a few of them) during the trip. We had a great time together as a family. The only disappointment was that the Cheetahs (my son's favorite animal) were apparently napping or hiding out of site, so we didn't get to see any of them. We may have to make a return trip later in the summer.

Yet Another Thing to Turn Over to God.
Apparently This High-Blood Pressure Thing is a Serious Matter!
I woke up this morning feeling much better than yesterday. I went to work and taught all my classes without any feeling any ill effects. After classes I went to the offices of the Nursing classes of my college. I asked them to check my blood-pressure again just to see if it was any better. The results...183/110. Apparently this is still high. Not as high as yesterday, but still serious enough that the Nurse/Teacher instructed my supervisor to send me home for the day and to call my doctor to get some kind of medication to bring my blood pressure down.
After doing a little more research into my incident yesterday...I found out my blood pressure was so high, yesterday, that the EMT's and the Hospital was worried that I might be on the verge of a stroke. Wow! Needless to say, when the nurse at my college told me my blood pressure was still us, I am a little worried. I called my doctor and I am waiting for him to return my call. If he cannot contact me before the end of the day I might have to make a trip to the Emergency room again just to have someone give me something to bring my blood-pressure down.
I really don't want to have a stroke or heart attack or anything else related to high blood-pressure. Apparently I will soon be taking another Rx soon.
In the meantime I will look up some info on the Internet to see if there are some natural remedies to help until I see the Doctor. I will also be doing a lot of praying. With my OCD I will probably worry way to much about this, which won't help at all. So I'm going to have to let God take care of me! Imagine that, God taking care of his boy. OK, God I'm all yours. Go to work.

My Trip to the Hospital in the Nice Red Van.
I have a very interesting morning. I at home now fighting off drowsiness just to write this blog, so I can go to sleep.
Shortly after arriving at work this morning I was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea, light-headedness, and vertigo. It literally knocked me off my feet. I managed to grab a nearby chair and ease myself down to the floor. The whole time the room seemed to be spinning rapidly around me. I dang near threw up. Lucky for me no students were in the classroom at the time.
After sitting on the floor, spinning around in my head, for a few minutes I managed to pull myself up into a chair. About this time one of my co-workers came in and saw me with my head over the trash can and moaning about how I wished the room would stop spinning. She told one of the students to go and get an EMT (our campus has an EMT training course at our location), to come check me out.
The EMT instructor (who just happens to be a certified EMT) came in to check me out. He said my pulse was high and since I had "hit the floor" due to my vertigo, it was campus policy to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital to check me out. When the ambulance arrived, the EMT's from there took my blood pressure, it was a whopping 169 over 124. Dang! They didn't tell me what the pressure was they just said it was very high and asked if I was suffering any other symptoms other than vertigo and nausea. I told them no, all I wanted to do was just lay down a minute and let the room stop spinning. But being good EMT's they told me that my high blood pressure would not allow them to just let me lay down. Since I couldn't walk straight due to the vertigo, they strapped me to a gurney and wheeled me out to the ambulance and took me to the hospital to be checked out.
After going through a brief medical history they stuck me with an IV and told me wait until the doctor came to check me over. Turns out my condition was probably caused by a reaction my body had to two different cold/allergy medications I have been taken to try and shake off this "crud" I have had for the past two weeks. They said the combination of the medicine I took for allergies and a dose of cough medicine I took last night, caused my blood pressure to shoot up and that is what they think caused my sudden episode of vertigo and nausea.
After a near 3 hour stay at the hospital, my blood pressure finally went back to normal. The doctor gave me some pills to help with vertigo and told me to check with my regular doctor about the blood pressure. He told me to sleep the rest of the day and I should be OK to go back to work tomorrow pending what my regular doctor tells me.
So here I am, half drugged out of my skull and about to fall asleep at the computer. I guess I need to go to sleep and see how I feel in the morning.

Baseball, My Voice and Other Thoughts
Baseball Season is back and I am loving it. My Texas Rangers are 3-3 and just came off an impressive series win over division rivals the LA Angels. Tomorrow is the Rangers home opener, and if I were rich enough or dumb enough I would take tomorrow off and go watch them. How about the starting pitchers for the Rangers? They are doing great!
My voice is back, sort of! I can at least speak but it is not up to full potential. Allergies or something is still causing a little drainage back there, so there is still a squeak from time to time.
Our family has made a choice on where we will spend our "Family Date" this month. We all plan to spend the afternoon at The Caldwell Zoo in Tyler. It's been a while since we have been there. Last time we went it was still free to the public. Now there is a admission fee, but I'm sure it will be fun. We plan to go Saturday weather permitting.
Our family is also considering signing up to start a new home-based business. More details about this as it develops. Just pray that God leads us and guides us in making the right decision about this possible new venture.
