8月4日 Unbiased Media?I just received the email below and felt it was important enough to pass on. Please read the CTV article mentioned http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070803/against_pride_flag_080803/20070803?hub=TopStories
and note the mindsets that are expressed in the article... i.e. that not being willing to endorse the gay lifestyle means you are a homophobe or "backward thinking" ("council's ban makes the whole town look discriminatory and backward-thinking"), that this is "a sign of homophobia in a government that should be secular" (when they say "secular" what they're trying to imply is that supporting gay rights is being "unbiased" or "neutral", the reality is just the opposite, they are trying to force THEIR morals on us) and that the gay rights activists are portrayed as victims that have been wronged ("the rejection made them feel ostracized and unwelcome"). Maybe your reaction is "What can I do about this?" I'm here to tell you there ARE things you can do:
---------- Forwarded message ----------
The Mayor of Truro, Nova Scotia has refused to fly a homosexual flag at City Hall for a "pride event" in the name of his Christian Values. He is obviously getting a lot of flak. Please write the Mayor an email and congratulate him for standing up for family values: It does not have to be long-- just a short paragraph is sufficient. Then go to the CTV website and click on "feedback" at the bottom of the story. Tell CTV the story was biased-- they did not have one citizen in the story to say that the mayor did the right thing-- and that in a small community in Nova Scotia. That's not believeable. Please write the mayor. The Mayor will probably need this ammunition. If you have a blog, please blog about it. Please spread this to as many people as possible. 7月28日 On the Table: Age of Protection and Anti-Spanking BillsThe following are two opinion pieces I wrote regarding two hot issues that were currently on the table in the Sentate when it adjourned for the summer. Theses are serious issues that deserve some real thought as to their long-term consequences.
---------------
RE: Bill C-22 (Raising the Age of Sexual Protection)
Is our government’s current legislation giving sexual freedom to Canadian youth, or taking away any chance they have for protection and justice? Bill C-22, a bill to raise the age of sexual protection from fourteen to sixteen, was passed by the House of Commons and was in the Senate before it adjourned. As a twenty-one-year-old Canadian, I would like to voice my concerns.
I have a sister who is fourteen. Tragically, because we live in Canada, this means that any man, whether twenty or fifty, could seduce, molest, and have sex with her without fear of legal consequences. The possibility that this could happen to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy or girl sickens and disturbs me. Doesn't it seem wrong for people to be able to have sex with our young teens and walk away unpunished?
The UN has declared anyone under eighteen to be a minor, therefore, the message our current legislation is sending is “it is perfectly acceptable for adults to have sex with children.” This message is being received loud and clear by those who would take advantage of our sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters. Canada has made itself a veritable haven for pedophiles and child molesters.
I must admit I do not understand the motivations of those who are fighting to keep the age of protection low. While they may be trying to bestow freedom on our youth, in reality they are leaving them vulnerable to sexual predators. Please… can’t we do everything in our power to protect the next generation of Canadians from sexual exploitation? I trust that the Senate will respect the decision of the House of Commons, as the public's representatives in our democracy, and pass Bill C-22 with expedience once it reconvenes in the fall. ------------------- RE: Bill S-207 (Anti-Spanking Bill) As a young Canadian who will likely be one of Canada's future parents, I would like to share my thoughts on Bill S-207, which would criminalize spanking in Canada. This bill was in committee before the Senate adjourned.
To be honest, I find the totalitarian slant to this bill rather disturbing. In a 2002 poll, 72% of Canadians said they wanted to retain the right to choose spanking as a form of discipline. This is not an issue regarding abuse, but rather whether parents will be allowed the option to use reasonable physical force as a tool to discipline their children, or whether the federal government will make this decision for them. Canadian children are already protected from abuse in the name of “punishment” by child welfare laws.
Bill S-207 raises valid concerns about the government's trust in its citizens to make choices for the well-being of their children. My parents used spanking responsibly. Far from being abuse, if anything I am better for it. I find I have a more positive attitude toward my parents and authorities in general than most of my peers, an attitude we need to foster in youth for the health of our society. A study in Sweden linked banning spanking with a rise in violence, and a New Zealand study concluded that spanking does not produce aggression or anti-social behaviour later in life.
Protection of children as vulnerable citizens is extremely important. However, since children are protected from physical abuse in the Criminal Code of Canada, I sincerely hope the government will uphold democracy by respecting the majority. It is in our country's best interest for the federal government to leave the decision of how to discipline where it belongs: with individual moms and dads, who know their children best. 7月10日 O Canada - UnabridgedCheck it out! The additional verses to our national anthem. My way of saying "Happy Belated Birthday Canada!"
6月6日 News-Flashes of HopeVictory in the House: Child protection bill passes 3rd reading; age of consent for sex to lower from 16 to 14A historic victory has recently been won for the cause of morality in Canada. Our current legislation in Canada allows adults to have sex with 14 and 15 year olds without fear of legal repercussions. In what could arguably be one of the clearest and most successful piece of socially conservative legislation in the past decade, Bill C-22, introduced by pro-family MP’s of the new Conservative government, not only provides protection for Canada’s 14 and 15 year olds from sexual exploitation, it sets a precedent that will no doubt pave the way for future pro-morality legislation and demonstrates a shift from the kind of liberal legislation that has made Canada a haven for sexual predators and promiscuity.However, the intent of this bill came very close to being distorted, when in its early stages an amendment was introduced by Liberal MP Joe Comartin, under the influence of homosexual activists, to use this bill to lower the age of consent for anal sex from 18 to 16. Fortunately, MY Canada (www.4mycanada.ca), led by Faytene Kryskow, went on the offensive and not only testified in favour of this bill to protect young teens, but also vehemently opposed the anal sex amendment and encouraged their membership to contact their MP’s as well as Mr. Comartin and other members of the justice committee to voice their opinions. Their hard work paid off, as the anal sex amendment was dropped. This bill passed in the House of Commons on May 27, 2007, and is now in the Senate. It must approved by the Senate before it will officially become law. Please call or email members of our Senate to encourage them to support this bill. You can get contact information for Senators at www.parl.gc.ca or by calling 1 (866) 599-4999.
Canada Apologizes to the WorldAn online initiative led by the Canada Family Action Coalition (CFAC) seeks to apologize to the world for the negative example Canada has set by changing the definition of marriage. This apology, in the form of an online petition, was launched in April 2007 and is signed by a number of prominent pro-famiy organizations including: REAL Women of Canada; United Mothers, Fathers & Friends; Dawn Stefanowicz (author); and MY Canada. The letter of apology begins: “To the world’s leaders and people, We, the people of Canada who support marriage solely as the union of a man and a woman, apologize to the people of the world for harm done through Canada’s legalization of homosexual marriage. We are grieved and troubled as we consider the impact this is having in weakening the fundamental institution of marriage in countries and cultures around the world.” The letter goes on to discourage the assumption that Canada’s decision was made carefully and judiciously and to encourage other countries to take warning from Canada’s mistake. To personally endorse this apology, visit www.restoremarriagecanada.ca.
World’s Pro-Family Leaders Meet in PolandOn May 22, 2007, several thousand pro-family delegates from around the world gathered in Warsaw, Poland, for the World Congress of Families. In the fourth historic gathering of its kind, the delegates shared strategies for promoting marriage and family in the face of disturbing moral and demographic decline in the developed world. “There are problems within families and we have to really take a hard look at that and not just say ‘yeah rah rah, family!’ but we also have to fix those things,” says Paul Dilion of the World Development Coalition. They discussed everything from tax breaks for families to resisting pressure from myth-spreading population control groups. James Maina, a politician from Kenya, told the congress that his country is facing this kind of pressure due to aggressive campaigns by the United Nations and population control groups, which try to sell their anti-life/anti-family policies as “progressive”. “The stuff that is coming from the United Nations is meant to destroy the family - things like homosexuality and abortion. We are also getting a lot of that pressure to have to legalize these things,” said Maina. This kind of monumental gathering is an encouragement to us all that the cause of traditional marriage and family is alive and thriving, not only in Canada, but around the world, and that we have many allies in our fight. 3月23日 I'm Newly CalibratedI'm absolutely pumped after the Conservative Party's Political Training Conference in Toronto and rally with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. They really seem to be taking their job seriously, to make a difference for Canada, and get the most bang for the taxpayer's buck.
Check out PM Harper's "theme song" from the rally: Better Now
I love it! This song really represents well where the party's come from, where it's at now, and where it's going. Such a sense of hope, excitement, and anticipation in its new popularity and position.
However, it remains true, espcially now in light of a potential majority Conservative government in the next federal election, that "absolute power corrupts absolutely". We need moral people full of integrity to get involved in the party and "keep it honest." We have to keep asking questions and not simply take everything at face value (which I'm tempted to do).

Please continue to keep this issue in covered in fervent prayer. The outcome will affect Canada for generations to come. If things progress quickly some analysts say the vote could happen as early as the 7th (Thurs.). Curve Ball: New Liberal Leader (Stéphane Dion) may not allow a free vote for the Liberal Caucus on the marriage issue. Today, Prime Minister Stephen Harper explained in the question period that Stéphane Dion (who was won the Liberal leadership on Sat.) may not allow his caucus to have a free vote on the marriage issue scheduled to resurface this week. If this happens it will tie the hands of many Liberal MPs who may have voted in favour of revisiting the marriage legislation and would completely undermine the democratic process as far as the marriage issue is concerned. Along with this, it will practically guarantee (unless we see a miracle in the House) that the vote will fail. What can we do? Our greatest resource is in heaven & the bottom line is that we need to PRAY like we have never prayed before.
What else can I do?

11月14日 Legislating Morality??
"No, I would defintely not hold it against you, however, I think the way that you're reasoning about this I cannot agree with.
I do not believe that our government should outlaw the homosexual lifestyle, that WOULD be overstepping our boundaries just as much as it would be wrong to outlaw sex before marriage. However, our government should not feel the need to ENDORSE this lifestyle by CHANGING the traditional definition, and watering it down in so doing, in order include these people into a term that cannot by its very essence pertain to the kind of relationship they embrace.
On the abortion issue, I guess this comes down to whether or not you consider the unborn child a human being... if so then calling outlawing abortion "legislating morality" would be the same as calling outlawing murder "legislating morality". And I am not bashing people who have abortions here... I'm just making an apologetic point. Also, again, even if our goverment doesn't feel that it can outlaw abortion, it should NOT feel the need to FUND abortions that are NOT medically necessary, and most of them aren't.
I don't believe that these universal values of life and marriage need only be associated with following Christ... I don't think that promoting these values (or at least remaining neutral on them instead of crushing them) as a country is trying to force people to convert by ANY means. It is simply endeavoring to posture ourselves as a society in a way that will build up instead of tear down our most valuable asset (life) and the building block of our society (the family) instead of promoting a culture of death that is killing our generation and wreaking havok on our demographics and a culture of sexual promiscuity that degrades children and floods us with STD's and posturing our selves as a country in a way that God CANNOT and WILL NOT bless abundantly.
I hate to do a heavy here, but as you're a fellow Christian I'm hoping that you will understand where I'm coming from here even if you don't agree with it, but it is very clear in the Bible that God is VERY interested in "secular" governments and government leaders making choices that honour Him and His universal principals... I think of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and Nebuchadnezzar, Nehemiah and Artaxerxes, Esther and Xerxes, Daniel and Darius, and Paul and Ceasar, Jeremiah and Cyrus... If you think about the great society's of teh past... Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Incan Empire... it was when they fell into gross sexual promiscuity, idol worship, and disdain for life (murder, child sacrifice, etc.) that the civilization eventually fell and fell catastrophically. If our country continues on the path we have placed ourself we will, inevitably suffer the same fate. I for one do NOT want to stand by and see that happen because I'm afraid that what you are calling "legislating morality" is infringing too much on people's rights... I feel the need to show some "tough love" when it comes to Canada. Canada was founded on God-honouring principles and it's written all over our history and national monuments... there is a deliberate attack by the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy to take God out of EVERYTHING including Canada's goverment. I don't think we need to be a blatantly Christian nation in any respects... there is a clear difference between being MORAL and being a CHRISTIAN... but I think there is nothing wrong with posturing ourselves as a nation in a way that God WILL bless, otherwise we are disqualifiying ourselves and setting ourselves up to become a godless and blatantly immoral society. Is that what you want?
I know this stuff is super heavy, but I hope you'll hear me out just as I'm glad to do for you, and look forward to talking more about this in the future as teh opportunity arises."
In Him,
Beth 11月10日 Municipal Election Time... Don't Know Who To Vote For?If you're anything like me you find it a little bit overwhelming when you're faced with not one, not two, but up to FIVE categories to vote for in our upcoming municipal elections. No wonder like only 30% of people vote... which just means that those who care enough to mark their ballot just have MORE of a chance to make a difference in our community.
So:
Now, you may be thinking "What does the pro-marriage debate have to do with a municipal election?" Well, for one thing, moral viewpoint has ALOT to do with electing our school board trustees, these people decide what they will be teaching our kids is to be viewed as acceptable in our society. And, secondly, in my own personal opinion, an individual who is willinng to take a strong stand on a tough issue based on moral convictions, often is a Christian and I think they probably have a good deal of integrity and will make a strong leader.
I hope you find this information helpful as you decide who to elect in our community. Please pass this information on to anyone you feel might be interested in taking it into account when they mark their ballot.
***If you are not registered to vote: Just go to a polling station on Monday (the 13th) and bring with you a piece of ID that has your picture and signature on it and a document with your current address.
If you have any questions about the election please don't hesitate to or email me at mapleleafforever118@hotmail.com and I'd be happy to help you out... Let's make an investment in our community... VOTE on November 13th! 9月24日 Canada's CryI wrote this on January 24, just one day after Canada's last federal election. I felt led to go back to this Psalm and when I read it I was moved almost to tears. I know it's a long read... but please hang in there and see if God speaks to you through it the was He has to me. I'd love to hear what you sense He's saying here.
passion.surrender.
Beth Dear Canadian Patriots,
I had a very strong sense this morning as I was reading Psalm 102 that this was "Canada's Cry: Psalm for a New Canada", that this Psalm expressed the voice of the spiritual heart of the true Canada. I hope as you read this God will speak to you through it as He did for me and your heart will be filled with both th great anticipation and the great sorrow in the heart of God for our country. I feel there may be something significant in the number 102, but God hasn't revealed it to me yet - if you have any insight into this, please let me know.
I have paraphrased this Psalm by using female personal pronouns to reflect Canada, and replacing the words Zion and Jerusalem with Canada and Ottawa, my changes are in brackets.
Psa 102:1 <A Prayer of the afflicted, when [she] is overwhelmed, and poureth out [her] complaint before the LORD.> Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.Psa 102:2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily. Psa 102:3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.Psa 102:4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.Psa 102:5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.Psa 102:6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.Psa 102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.Psa 102:8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.Psa 102:9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,Psa 102:10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.Psa 102:11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.Psa 102:12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.Psa 102:13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon [Canada]: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.Psa 102:14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.Psa 102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.Psa 102:16 When the LORD shall build up [Canada], he shall appear in his glory.Psa 102:17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.Psa 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.Psa 102:19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;Psa 102:20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;Psa 102:21 To declare the name of the LORD in [Canada], and his praise in [Ottawa];Psa 102:22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.Psa 102:23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.Psa 102:24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.Psa 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.Psa 102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:Psa 102:27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.Psa 102:28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.God has won many battles in the last 24 hr, but we are still in a war... this is just the beginning.
For God and Country,
Beth

8月12日 Israel vs. Lebanon - The Other Side of the Story 2
Israel vs. Lebanon - The Other Side of the Story 1
8月9日 Now is the TimeIn the hour of her greatest need, God is calling a generation to rise up and “stand on guard” for righteousness in Canada. God has a vision for a young army of “History Makers”, He is revealing strategies for taking the land, and He is moving mightily on behalf of those who are storming the heavenlies and then putting feet to their prayers on behalf of our nation. Last year I was “perishing without vision”(Prov. 29:18), just like many others my age. Then God got my attention through the ministry of a dynamic young woman named Faytene Kryskow, founder of MY Canada (Motivated Young People for a Strong Canada). He began to light a fire in my heart for Canada as well as put a burden on my heart for my generation. I began to catch God’s vision to raise up a group of young “History Makers” that would bring a “Righteous Invasion of Truth” to every area of society. I felt God was calling me specifically to the area of politics and government. Canada was straying far from the righteous foundations She was built upon, and I sensed God’s heart was breaking. In the face of issues like widespread abortion and the changing of the definition of marriage, MY Canada rose up as Christian youth to take a stand for traditional morality in the political arena. We began to pray, we got involved in campaigns during the election, we met with government leaders… and God is on the move in Canada! On July 15 of this year, MY Canada, together with the National House of Prayer in Ottawa, spearheaded the “Cry 2”, a day of prayer and worship on Parliament Hill to cry out for the fullness of God’s Dominion to come in our generation. Hundreds showed up for this public declaration of our desire for God to move in this land. We prayed for our leaders, we prayed into various issues facing our government, and we prayed that God would move in various areas of our society. There were young girls crying out with a loud voice for “revival” and already there are reports of people getting saved as a result of the Cry 2. The war is just beginning, but now is the time that God is calling my generation to impact all areas of our culture for Him. As we step out, He is faithful. God is already using Canada’s revived youth to take the nation by storm and bring about His dominion in our land. 5月5日 It’s time… To raise “The Cry” 2 Him!The Call… National Prayer Gathering in Ottawa. Calling a generation to arise and take the nation. As many of you already know, I am involved in a non-partisan Christian political youth organization called MY Canada (Motivated Young People for a Strong Canada). MY Canada, together with the National House of Prayer, is spearheading a national, youth-focused (but not "youth-exclusive") day of prayer and worship on Parliament Hill called the "Cry 2" on July 15, 2006, to cry out to God on behalf of our country for the fullness of His dominion to come in our generation. Speakers/worship leaders include: Steve Osmond (Tehilla Monday), James and Looee Arreak (featured on Transformations II video), and Laura Woodley. I wanted to let you know about this momentous event because I feel that God will move very strongly as a result of our "Cry 2" Him on that day, and I want to give you the chance to be apart of this “History Making” Cry.
It's not a conference, it's not a concert, it's a CRY. God’s recruiting for His army, will you answer His call and help sound the CRY? The Action… If your heart is saying “Yes”, here’s how you can get involved:
You can get more information and watch promo videos at the Cry 2 Website.

3月5日 Where My Dreams Begin... Passion and SurrenderI have a dream... do you?
Have you ever wondered...
"Why did God choose me to fulfill this dream?" "Why is the dream God gave me falling apart?" "How do I know this dream was from God anyways? Should I just give it up?"
I had a dream from God, and it did seem like it was falling apart, it just wasn't working out like I'd hoped. But, I was afraid that God was putting my vision to death, afraid to listen to Him, lest He tell me something I really didn't want to hear... that this was the end of my dream for the time being, that it wouldn't be fulfilled to the fullness I had imagined. The next morning, God spoke to me gently and in the most loving way you could imagine, through the Casting Crowns song He brought to my mind "Who Am I" and the Scripture I felt I should read, Psalm 139. My prayer is that they will touch your heart as they did mine... that God will show you how you can live your dreams in both passion and surrender. He brought inspiration and guidance for me to renew my vision, as I followed His promptings to ask others to stand with me in prayer against the opposition of the enemy - who wants to kill your dreams. Will you let him? Passion (for You) and Surrender (to You)... that's where my dreams begin.
Who Am I
Psalm 139 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

One more time (just for good measure): mapleleafforever118@hotmail.com 2月12日 Prime Minister Harper's Victory SpeechI watched Steven Harperhim deliver this speech on election night and I
watched him get sworn in as our new Prime Minister. Whether you
voted for him or not, he needs our prayers. How long has it been
since we've had a Prime Minister who said "God bless Canada."
Canada is in a very sorry state if she doesn't need God's blessing
anymore. 1Ti 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 1Ti 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. STEPHEN HARPER'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH, JAN 23RD, 2006 Ottawa Citizen
