You know, we speak quite a bit on All Natural products and the benefits derived from them.

Here in Isaiah’s Garden we offer a product line that we feel does exactly that, gives your body benefits in so many different ways.

Most know that our products are All Natural, with no Additives or Preservatives in them at all.

What you get from say a clove of Garlic, or Honey taken straight from the hive, is exactly what you get in each bottle of our product line, Wholesome, All Natural ingredients!

From Isaiah’s Pure Natural, Isaiah’s Lemon Life, Isaiah’s Ginger Snap, Isaiah’s Pure Garlic Extract to our great tasting Isaiah’s Wildflower/Gallberry Honey, every ingredient used is 100% Natural!

Isaiah’s Pure Natural is all I’ve been taking for nearly for years now after a massive Heart Attack in June of 2008, and being placed on 7 different Prescription Heart Medications.
Since June of 2011, when I literally tossed all my Heart Meds, Isaiah’s Pure Natural has been used exclusively by me in regards to my Heart Health ever since.

The reviews back to us from people worldwide have been incredible, and played a major role in our decision to start up our company in the quest to help others in their own regard for Health Enhancement, but to do so in the most cost effective way we possibly could.

At a daily dosage rate of ONE Tablespoon per day, and at a cost of around 67 cents per day, Isaiah’s Pure Natural is tremendously cost effective, and on top of that, if you purchase 3 or more bottles, the SHIPPING IS FREE!

Here’s part of an email I received just this past week from a man who has been taking Isaiah’s Pure Natural (formerly called WE BELIEVE), for around 60 days now…

Thank you sir – after two bottles my cholesterol level dropped 132 points – I’ll order more this month of the Pure Natural and at the end of May I will have blood work done and write a testimonial for you.

Thank you again

We’ve met an outstanding young lady, named Rebekah, who has taken our products and has been using them in other ways than say…simply the tablespoon a day mentality, and began using them in her recipes.

Here’s Rebekah…

Here’s hoping you guys have a great day, and God Bless!

This quick post this morning is not about any type of health enhancement products, but actually along the lines of a different type of enhancement…spiritual enhancement.

If you believe as we do, well, then you simply believe. if you don’t, personally, i feel this is your right too.

What I’m sharing with you this morning is a video that I have found to be very inspiring to me.

I watch it once in a while having my coffee during the early morning enjoying what I consider…my time.

I’m an early riser so Kathrine is still in bed, and it’s just me and our dogs out on the porch watching the woods wake up…very peaceful and serene.

To those that are married, you understand those two words very well…peaceful and serene.

To those of you who haven’t tied the knot yet, you may not quite understand those two words…peaceful and serene…but you soon will! LOL

I’m sure there are many, many of you who have already seen this video, as the views are in the millions, but to me, I always feel so good after watching it on occasion.

Hopefully this will have the same effect on many of you too!

Have a great day and God Bless, from all of us here in Isaiah’s Garden!

Here’s Hezekiah Walker singing, “Every Praise!”

It’s been an awful long time since I’ve posted, and to be honest…it feels good!

I’ll begin to start doing some of this again.

I thought I’d speak a little this morning on not our, or any other all natural products, but the challenges of our faith in regards to the political agendas today in our Country, and the world in general, or better known as….

The “C” word.

We are firm believers in our faith…Our Christian faith.

I’m not here to beat you over the head in regards to our faith, but simply to express some thoughts of mine in its regard…and they’re exactly that, thoughts of mine.

If you happen to believe along my lines of thought, that’s great, and God Bless.

If you don’t, then that’s great too. That IS your right as an American, but in the same breath, it seems anyone who doesn’t feel the same way I do, does in fact get to beat me over the head with their opinion.

The world is filled with believers such as I, nonbelievers, and other religious based faiths.

I’m fine with your beliefs, although it seems today the Christian faith is getting slammed simply on account of “what,” we believe.

Much of our problem today stems simply from political correctness and its, “not offend anyone,” or to basically make everyone…feel nice.

First off, to anyone with a brain, you should immediately recognize the true intent of this political correctness as simply being …restricting speech, and undermining your right to free speech.

Secondly, it’s pretty easily seen that this “PC thing” isn’t restricting the progressive rights to free speech at all.

Only the people in our Country who believe in “their God and their guns” is this really being applied to, as our President has proclaimed.

If you believe in our liberties, morals, and what our Country was indeed founded upon, which is enforced in our Constitution, you’ve been branded today as racist, right wing extremists, anti-government, terrorists, and even teabaggers.

Between us, my son had to inform me to the true meaning behind such a statement.

Seems somewhere, somehow, the world simply passed me by, but regardless of my own ignorance of much of today’s lingo, I do understand right from wrong, but even that’s becoming confused if listening to a progressive speak.

Ever hear of spending your way out of debt as our President declares?

If you passed elementary arithmetic, you see the futility in such a statement.

Now…stealing your way out of debt is another matter entirely!

It’s pretty evident that political correctness involving people that believe as I and other likeminded individuals do isn’t the same at all when being applied to the political left.

I’ve also heard our President declare…”America is not a Christian Nation.”

This in a nutshell is my reasoning for today’s post.

We ACTUALLY WERE Founded Upon Our Judeo-Christian Beliefs

Personally, I feel that Louisiana governor, Bobby Jindal was right on the money when he stated, “Now is the time for our Nation to turn back to God.”

The media, and many Republicans as well, thought his statement as anything but a simple declaration of his belief, and totally about as politically incorrect as you can get…

After all, far too many today believe as our President states, once again, “We are not a Christian Nation.”

A poll in 2012, did anything but affirm this belief. Its findings were that in fact 75% of Americans today do consider Christianity as their religion of choice.

I’d like to share a few examples, through quotations, that yes, America was indeed founded upon our Christian belief.

I stumbled across this website just a few days ago.

“It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.”
- George Washington –

“The Congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools.”
- United States Congress 1782 –

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”
- John Adams –

Here’s a quote that I find to be so descriptive of our government today, in its blatant attempts to not only convince people our Constitution is out dated, but to totally ignore it.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
- John Adams –

“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”
- Benjamin Franklin -

“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
- Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson Memorial –

“I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of civil society. One of the beautiful boasts of our municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law … There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying its foundations.”
- Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, Harvard Speech, 1829 –

“[The Bible] is the rock on which our Republic rests.”- Andrew Jackson
“Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian…This is a Christian nation”
- United States Supreme Court Decision in Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892 –

Ending up today’s post with these final three…

“Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first, the most basic expression of Americanism. Thus, the founding fathers of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be.”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower

“I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism.”
- Theodore Roosevelt, President

“This is a Christian nation.”
- Harry Truman, President

To all the naysayers who don’t believe as I do, that’s your option, and once more by being so, I condone your opinion, but, have you ever considered my simply being right in my own belief?

If I and the great many others who believe just as I believe are wrong, I’d venture to say that we really haven’t lost a thing, but if we’re right, eternity is an awful long time, wouldn’t you think?

If you’d look in our blog section of the new site it will tell you the reasoning behind our new product names, labels, etc.

Thank you for dropping in to see us today and God Bless you and yours!

For those that know me at all, you know if you even say hello to me, well, you’ve opened up the flood gates. For those who don’t know me, this simply means you can’t hardly get me to shut up.

This morning, a 13 year old young man did just that. Not only did he shut me up, but literally blew me away with his story.

I was awestruck…

Logan lives on a ranch, and made this call to a Christian radio station to tell of his experience. The following is the taped conversation between Logan and the DJ.

Many of you may have already seen this video. If so, it’s worth watching again. For those who haven’t, take just a few minutes to hear this young man…

If that doesn’t touch your heart, I’m not sure anything will. This young man sure touched ours this morning. I just felt we needed to share with you guys too.

Have a great day, and God Bless you and yours!

Doug and Lucky

You guys all know Judi and Brian with the Canada Free Press, so you know as well what a fine pair of people those two are. I understand very well if you were in a pinch they’d be willing to jump in and help in anyway they could.

With that being said, I realize if there were a cause they truly felt strongly in, then they could count on us for help, and this is the reasoning behind this post today…we need your help if at all possible.

If you can’t give, that’s understandable in today’s economic pressure, BUT, if you could give only a little it would be an immense help to a family that Judi and Brian know personally who have come upon some tough times.

Edmund Burke once stated how sad it is that a man would do nothing because…He could only do a little.

This is so appropriate today simply because in this family’s sake, if we could do only a little, what a blessing we could bestow upon them.

So, if you find it in your hearts today to give in a big way, or only a little, you have the ability to make things better for the Eddie Zawadski family.

You can read all about it in this post that Judi and Brian have sent…

You guys have a great day, count your blessings, and God Bless you and yours!

Doug and “Lucky”

This morning I’d like to share a few thoughts I have involving, for those who are in business, a problem I’ve had throughout my life being in business, and also how this pertains as well to everyone else simply going through your lives, and I’d like to use our new business, Isaiah’s Garden, and my own personal life as examples.

First off, I am a man who, when there’s a problem, or an important issue being resolved, I want eye contact, I don’t want to speak over the phone or text, but also I can be confrontational if when I know I’m right and others contradict or challenge me, and this is my problem…I can be too vocal.

Personally, I simply describe this as…getting excited. Lol

This “getting excited”as I call it, happened just this past weekend, and in all honesty instead of getting excited, it in reality is becoming angry, and at times, very angry.

He and I worked it out, but with my being 57, I gotta tell you, these types of things really take it out of me anymore…it drains me.

So, I learned a very important lesson from this, and it was God given. You see, what I’d done was have…an “energy leak.”

Looking back now, I see that throughout my life, I’d done this countless times…had these “energy leaks,” and I realized just how detrimental these were, in not just my personal life, but my business life as well.

They not only had been draining me, both mentally and physically, but caused me to lose one very, very important attribute…my FOCUS.

Good night, when I came to the realization of how badly these anger moments, or energy leaks had affected me, it was such an eye opener in regards to what I had missed simply from attaining a goal, or staying on track.

It was at this point that I truly came to understand how many opportunities I’d missed only because I’d lost my focus on the important things, and how trivial these things that had angered me were…In the big picture of life.

Going back just a little in our conversation this morning, I had stated to you that this “energy leak” thing was God given, and here’s why.

After my energy leak this past weekend, I was getting ready for bed and my encounter was weighing heavily on my heart. I picked up a book I’d just started reading, “JESUS, CEO,” written by Laurie Beth Jones, and the new chapter I was starting on was “He Guarded His Energy.”

Lo and behold, it was based upon her description of these energy leaks we have, and the effect they have upon us in regards to lost focus, and the wastefulness caused in our lives by such behavior.

Man, did that hit home with me!

She spoke of JESUS having tremendous energy, and in the same breath how JESUS kept it directed and was so clear about His mission, and how He avoided these…energy leaks.

Even though He WAS a teacher, He refused to engage in meaningless debates with people who wanted not to learn, but to argue. Even so far as at His own trial, He did not waste time or energy in what He knew would be a meaningless defense.

This is so easy to understand, and that’s my point to you all this morning, but is so hard to practice while we’re still here in the world.

Can you guys imagine what you can do by simply practicing each day, this very thing…working on at least slowing down these energy leaks, and the benefits you’d derive from this, not only in your business, but your personal lives as well?

So today, let’s all make a commitment to work on this, and through this, maintain the focus needed in our daily lives.

Enough said on this topic.

Isaiah’s Garden

How could I let you go this morning without giving a little plug for our new endeavor, which is Isaiah’s Garden? Lol

Actually that is not the intent, but does tie in with what I was speaking on earlier, and this being our faith and trust in God, and how He
plays such an integral part of our lives, not just in our personal lives, but here in the garden as well.

To often today, people who believe in God are ridiculed for their belief. Businesses find themselves boycotted, or worse, for these same reasons.

We believe, which is the very same statement on our main product, is exactly how we feel here in Isaiah’s Garden, and we try to portray this not only on our labeling, our products, but in our actions as well.

Yes, we’re human, we will make mistakes, we may slip some from time to time in our religious convictions, or have an energy leak every so often, but our love for God is genuine, and we feel a very, very integral part of how we came to starting this new venture.

Believe me, I’m not preaching to anyone at the moment, I’m only sharing with you that these ARE OUR BELIEFS, and if these things offend you, we’re very sorry, and this was not the intent by any means.

But…we here in the garden feel very strongly, that this great Nation of ours, not only gives us the RIGHT to believe as we believe, but you as well, and this is my point once again.

Too many times today, we see groups boycotting, smearing, and at times inducing acts on others, many of these very vulgar, simply because what others believe in isn’t exactly quite the way they see it, and this is being condoned today by our government as…political correctness.

We pondered this very thing in the startup of our business, our belief in God, and we came to the decision that too often people cave in their own beliefs for fear of reprisals in some form or another.

We decided that our company was founded to help others if at all possible, and to make our products available to the people who don’t own a juicer, or didn’t like the smell of the product being cooked, or simply didn’t have the time to make it, so we decided to manufacture it out of convenience.

The results we’ve seen coming back to us from people worldwide were amazing, and we know they are God given, so in an adamant declaration, we here in Isaiah’s Garden state firmly, that yes , we believe in God, our company was founded on God, and whatever good our products have on others is done simply…through God.

That’s all.

Again we’re by no means pushing God on you, but we are founded on these principles, and are not ashamed in any way shape or form because of this.

In all reality it is quite the opposite…we are very proud of having God in our lives and stand firm in our beliefs, and we refuse to let others influence or compromise this in any way.

And, that’s a little insight into our business.

Employee Testimonials

We had a meeting the other morning, and during this time we discussed among ourselves, there are four of us that makeup the wheels that drive our business you might say, and our talk turned to our relationship with God and the blessings we were receiving from Him in regards to our company.

This again is not aimed at preaching to you, and if this topic offends anyone, please simply click off this page…no ill feelings on your, or our part.

But if you, not unlike myself in the not so distant past, are missing something in your life, or maybe just need a little inspiration, then possibly this may help you to an extent.

The four of us, Kathrine, Dale, David and me are all Christians. None of us find this walk comes easily, but we simply do the best we can. Nobody is perfect, and in my regard, that probably is the understatement of the last century. So if you feel compelled to do so, you may want to read a little further.

For those that know me, I lost my wife Debbie to Stage 4 breast cancer. Throughout her ordeal, she was possibly the greatest witness
In my own coming to know our Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior. She was incredible.

Also, after her leaving, I was fortunate to have some very good friends, who helped as well in, not preaching to me, but merely making suggestions, like…”Would you like to attend church with us next weekend?” No pushing at all, but again, just making suggestions.

My wife now, Kathrine, whom I tease by calling her “Lucky,” was one of these very people, who helped me get more involved in my own Christianity, but was so very helpful in getting me through the depression of losing Deb, whom she knew and loved too.

In reality I’m stating now, it’s me who is the lucky one, and not her, but that’s between you guys and me! Lol

Together we decided to startup Isaiah’s Garden because of the testimonials we were receiving from again, people worldwide describing to us the health benefits they were receiving from our product, “WE BELIEVE.”

From those people, we have received the most gratifying experience we could have ever imagined…helping others.

So, Isaiah’s Garden was started because of the Blessings God was giving us through this very thing…The ability to make a difference in people’s lives, with all most all…we never knew existed.

With many of their responses ended in…God Bless you, or even things like, “Thank you for giving me my life back,” although the comments were directed to us, they were a little off base.

This wasn’t coming from us, we were only the messengers here…God was supplying the healing!

To be honest…it doesn’t get any better than that.

You’ll learn more and more about us as time goes by, and with that last testimonial, you can kinda combine that one together as mine and Kathrine’s, besides Kathrine’s insistence on her parental upbringing and their goodness in her regard, as actually setting the foundation for her own walk with God.

The next is David’s, who happens to be Kathrine’s oldest son, and David has brought so much energy to the table, and is so knowledgeable in God’s Word, and it in reality is whom keeps us accountable in our walk with God here in the garden.

“The Lord Jesus Christ saved me 17 years ago. Since then He has moved in my life many times. When God guided me to become part of Isaiah’s Garden, WOW, WHAT A BLESSING!”

“To be part of a business that is filled with God’s Blessings and filled with integrity, is truly anointed by God.”

Then we come to Dale, who has worked with me for at least the last 3 years, and in his own right through these years has caused me many of the thing I talked about in the opening part of our post…ENERGY LEAKS! LOL

It took David to come into the picture as you might say a buffer between Dale and I, and today, Dale has become a cog in our wheel, and has the potential to become a major contributor in the growth and well being of our company.

Not too very long ago, Dale was a self vowed atheist. ..He didn’t believe in God, and had no qualms about setting you straight in that regard.

As time passed, he noticed a change in my life, and began to be a little inquisitive. He started asking questions.

Then I married Kathrine, and he started quizzing her too, and she too would spend time with him, explaining the role God played in her life, and Dale became even more intrigued by learning a little more, and a little more about God.

We bought him a Bible, and he started reading in it, and even shared with us some of what he’d learned…

Then David came into the picture, and next thing we knew, Dale, with David’s help, along with one of our friends, Gene Cody, those two had gotten Dale to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior too.

This took place several weeks ago now, and I just want to say how happy we are for Dale, and his new found happiness and direction in his life.

He attends church regularly now, and sits side by side with David.

Here is Dale’s testmony, in his own words…

My name is Dale Bruce. I have been with “Isaiah’s Garden from the beginning.

We are founded on God.

I am a new Christian, and am just getting started in my walk with God. “Isaiah’s Garden along with a few good people, including my 9 month old son, and my 36 year old daughter (yep, that’s what he said, so no misprint, lol).

Isaiah’s Garden has helped in turning my life around, and I am now at peace with myself. One of the best things about Isaiah’s Garden that God uses us in helping many of His people. That in itself is a very good feeling.

This is where I am supposed to be, and I feel very Blessed because of this.

A special thanks to God

Doug and Kathrine Bronson

David Addison

And Gene Cody

This again people is what it is all about. Not only has God allowed us to help others, but has given us so many Blessing in our own regard.

Once more…it doesn’t get any better than that!

Hopefully today, this post has helped someone who again had a little missing in their own life.

From all of us here in Isaiah’s Garden…where our gate is always open…

Here’s wishing you all the very best life has to give, and God Bless you and yours!

Doug, Lucky, David and Dale

Isaiah’s Garden--We Believe

Been very busy around the place here, and have just gotten a new business up and runnin. Well, maybe up and crawlin is more appropriate.

This new venture has taken just about every free moment we’ve had, and to put it bluntly, it has been the hardest start up of a new business I’ve ever been involved with…BAR NONE!

Literally months of planning, buying supplies, having the wrong bottles delivered here to the place, BUYING SUPPLIES, running down the freshest products we could possibly put our hands on, building a new website (thank you Brian @ the CFP so very much for all your help), new equipment, and simply just getting organized.

OH…did I mention BUYING SUPPLIES?? LOL!

Sorry, but just seems like I’ve been doing an awful lot of that…supply buying!

Let’s talk about this new business some…

For those who have followed us some, you know that my wife Deb passed away from Stage 4 breast cancer, but opted for alternative treatments. Her quality of life was outstanding, and she had been given 8-9 months to live, but she got 14-1/2 months.

You can find out all about Deb’s battle with cancer in our archives, but the point being that when Deb opted for alternative treatment, I too opted for the very same…this being after a massive heart attack in June of 2008, and being prescribed 7 different heart medications.

I started taking, and making, a treatment for my heart, which was given to me by my very good friend, Karam Duggal, who is Indian (India), by the way, and in his mid-seventies, and has lived here in the US since 1959.

Mr. Duggal will not even take an aspirin, but opts for the holistic type remedies.

In all honesty, I had received this recipe from him, but simply had just sat on it.

Then, when Deb opted for alternative, I did as well with this recipe, but not so much for me, but as a show of support for Deb.

Well, after seeing the benefits in my own life from this juice, I put it out on this website, first in Nov. 2011, then again in Nov. 2012, simply to see if others would see the same health benefits as I had?

The testimonials we have gotten back have been astounding, and not just a few, but literally hundreds of them…worldwide!

Since then, we have decided to start making, marketing, and selling this juice.

Again, we have found sources to obtain the best quality products we can put our hands on, and we have now begun the actual manufacture of our product, which we have named…

“WE BELIEVE,” which is exactly how we, and so many others worldwide feel about this product…we believe in it!

We bring in the produce, and actually, juice, cook, and bottle it right here on our place.

Our raw honey we buy in 55 gallon drums locally, from a source with over 200 beekeepers bringing them product from here in Florida.

So the product you guys will get is the very same product as I personally have been taking for almost 3 years now…100% freshly extracted, all-natural, juice of ginger, garlic, and lemons, with apple cider vinegar and raw honey added.

Why did we make this decision to do so?

Simple.

Number one being helping others, which we feel by the way, is one of our better attributes of being a human.

The other reason is pretty simple also…convenience.

Some may not have a juicer. Others may not have the time or ability, to make it.

Even others, as some of the testimonies state, the ingredients involved in the manufacture of this product, especially the ginger and garlic, emit an odor which can in itself be literally overwhelming, and this in itself can be a turnoff.

So again, convenience is the key.

Does the product work? According to my own testimonial, and the testimonials from so many others worldwide, yes it does.

So, in reality we are simply reaching out to people worldwide to at least give it a try. You may very well see that it will help enhance your own health, at a fraction of the cost of modern medicines.

We are marketing our product in 15 oz. bottles for $19.99 per bottle.

As the daily dosage is only 1 tablespoon per day, one bottle is a 30 day supply, plus the cost to you is .67 cents per daily dosage…shipping of our product is included in our cost, so…shipping to you is actually free.

$19.99, delivered to your doorstep.

If you buy in quantity it breaks down to as little as .53 cents per day, per dose.

Take it from a guy who was paying 200 BUCKS A MONTH out of pocket for Lipitor after my heart attack… WITH…Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance, .67 cents per day is a bargain.

Our new website, although this one will stay up as well, is…

isaiahsgarden.com

Please drop in and take a gander at it, although it is still under construction.

If nothing else, simply read the testimonials, a few of which you’ll find on our homepage, but will find a lot on our Testimonial page, and see for yourself the benefits people are getting from our product.

Give us your input, and if the urge hits you, enlighten us in regards to all-natural treatments, or home remedies you have come across, or have used yourselves.

Again, helping others is the goal!

You guys have a great day, and God Bless!

“Be sure you keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart!”

Doug and “Lucky”

You know, my Dad, who has been pretty successful in his own right, used to tell me… “Look down the road, son.”

His meaning was pretty simple and actually very good advice.

His meaning behind that statement is that, you never start out on top. This whether you are employed by someone else, or even workin for yourself.

Success comes from a great work ethic, the desire to better yourself and your family, the ability to cope through not just the good times, but the bad too.

It means you have to start at the bottom somewhere. Then through pure determination to see something through, you eventually start climbin the ladder to achieve…success.

So you see, his statement means to not let what happens today hinder your drive to, “look down the road

You have to stay focused, believe in your own ability, and maybe most importantly…NEVER…take no, or, you can’t do it, as an alternative.

Dad never…came from money, quite the opposite. His father commercial fished for a living. Granddaddy day worked cattle as well, plus any other thing that he could turn an honest dollar at to feed and clothe his family.

This was the way of life of our generations past, and sacrifice to better their own family was all the drive they needed to push themselves to keep going.

I remember my Father never being at home much…he worked all the time. Although many of his friends went to work for large companies, back then, the power or telephone companies, but Dad saw an opportunity for agriculture to be his…way out…and eventually it was.

Did this all fall into place? Anything but.

He worked for Ralston Purina. He started off moving chickens at night, which is about the lowest on the totem pole you can get.

He, through another example of his mentality and belief used to tell me…

“You know Doug, when I started out moving, or pullin chickens as we call it, my whole outlook was to be THE BEST chicken puller out there. Whatever you do son, ALWAYS strive to be the best! It doesn’t matter if you’re digging ditches…and if you are…be THE BEST ditch digger out there!”

“IF you keep that mentality, eventually someone in a position of power WILL see you, AND…you’ll get an opportunity.”

He eventually became a flock supervisor with Purina, but still worked on the service crew at night.

He was literally working…daylight to cain’t.

When he retired from Purina to start his own egg company…he was General Manager of the Southeast.

Here was a man who started out with absolutely nothing except…a tremendous work ethic, the mentality for never accepting the word, no, and the vision to… “Look down the road.”

When he sold out in Oct. of 1995, he had over two million birds laying, had his own feed mill to supply the birds with a good quality feed product, and his own hatchery to keep his layer operations in birds.

To get a grasp for what he achieved, the one complex I ran had twelve houses with 60,000 birds per house. EACH house ate between 12-14 thousand pounds of feed per day.

I still find that incredible.

His poultry operation enabled him get into the citrus business, and eventually the cattle business as well.

I, like my Dad, and thanks to him as well, had these same traits. Though not nearly as successful, although comfortable most times, he had instilled in me, to… “Look down the road, son.”

What we’ve accomplished is literally because of the work ethic and never quit mentality that he bestowed on us.

Now, as I, “Look down the road” today, what I see for my children and grandchildren ain’t very pretty, to say the least.

Does our Country today even present the opportunity for our children and grandchildren to… “Look down the road?

Sadly, I don’t believe it any longer does, and the ability to do this and succeed looks more and more bleak daily.

We have become a Nation of political elite, a Nation of politicians for life, a Nation of political arrogance never before witnessed in our Countyry, and a Nation ofso many new laws passed each year, I believe over 40,000 were passed last year alone, that if our politicians, state, local or federal, really wanted to get us, there just has to be a law on the books for them to do so.

Washing your car? Riding your bike? How bout watchin TV in your home?

I hope there aren’t laws against these things, but any more, there are so many, who knows?
How bout this…

Now he MAY have become belligerent, I don’t know, but 84 years old? Bloodied by police? Several police??

What are we coming to?

Which brings me to one point this morning that rubs me the wrong way…although it is but one…

Illegal Immigration into our Country.

Seems the other day, our Director for Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, made the following remarks…

“The approximately 11 million people who are in the country illegally have “earned the right to be citizens.”

So, in his opinion, these people HAVE EARNED the right…

Really?

I’d be willing to bet if I decided to enter Mexico, or most other nations for that matter, their government wouldn’t consider me as having earned the right to anything, besides a kick in the behind getting me back across to my side of the border!

PLUS, even if you do cross into Mexico LEGALLY, in order to take up residence there you have to prove your self- sustainability.

Also, jail time is a must.

Quickly, and in jest, I read the other day where 4 tractor trailer loads of Americans were stopped at the border and deported for…tryin to slip into Mexico!

I did a post in The Canada Free Press, quite a ways back, actually on April 26, 2010, so let’s see, that’d made me…27 or so! Lol.

The title of the post was…

“The Definition of…Illegal,” and can be found in the CFP’s columnist archives under, Doug Bronson.

A few quotes from that particular post…

According to the Random House Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of the word “illegal,” is as follows: adj. 1- Forbidden by law. 2- contrary to official rules or regulations.

“Is it just me, or do you feel also, that many of our politicians, the left, and our media really have difficulty understanding this word, illegal? The misunderstanding of the word illegal really seems to become evident when they speak of people coming across our borders without permission. At that point they like to refer to them as “undocumented.” Put simply though, they’re not undocumented, they’re in reality illegal, the exact opposite of legal, which by the way, undocumented isn’t.”

It goes on…

“I wonder if Nancy Pelosi for example, a strong advocate of amnesty for illegal aliens, would consider one of them, or anyone else for that matter, which walked into her home uninvited or without her knowledge, consider this person as an “undocumented visitor?” I’d venture to guess she’d not consider this an undocumented visit, but rather an illegal entry and they’d probably be charged by Mrs. Pelosi with such.

For whatever the reasoning, our federal government has not “taken the bull by the horns” approach to this problem. We’ve seen the pleas by local law-enforcement, especially along the border, asking for federal assistance in handling the problems arising from this. The locals haven’t the manpower, or the capabilities to combat this alone. Why do such requests go unheeded by the feds?

But One Example of the Cost to the Taxpayer of Illegals

This too taken from the same post…

“Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas (these are 2006 numbers), is the second busiest maternity ward in the U.S. Almost 16,000 babies are delivered there each year, about 44 per day.
A patient survey indicated that 70% of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants. That’s 11,200 anchor babies (American citizens) born every year just in Dallas. The hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million, and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

This has been documented through Snopes.com.”

Again, this is but ONE example, of ONE hospital, in ONE town, in ONE county, in ONE state! Once more these numbers were from…2006!

What in the world must be the numbers today…nationwide??

So, in my opinion, these “illegals,” Jeh Johnson says DESERVE amnesty, is a crock. Not all, but most, I believe probably don’t appreciate our Country, number one, and number two, many, many more wouldn’t if you took away all these dad-gum giveaways!

With this in mind, I’ve come to the conclusion are Department of Homeland Security is misnamed, to put it very, very mildly.

Something more appropriate, and more fitting is, hmmm., let’s see…how bout the Department of Homeland Insecurity!

Our Department of Homeland Security and ALL Illegals Deserving Amnesty

I did one other post in the CFP titled, “Should Arizona Consider Sovereignty in Regards to Illegal Immigration?”

This one from Dec. 18, 2010.

The link I checked out and it still works.

These numbers I’m fixing to give you are from a House Committee report on…HOMELAND SECURITY, in 2006.

It’s title?

Get this guys…

“A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border”

Keep in mind the U.S.-Mexico border runs nearly 2,000 miles.

Those numbers are appalling, aren’t they? To have that extent of those types of crimes committed in our country is unforgivable, but to have them committed in our country by illegal aliens is unconscionable

YET…

They’re DESERVING?

Please?

So, in closing, it is pretty obvious that a vast number of these illegal aliens have absolutely NO business being here, much less anywhere else, but to realize that we have government officials calling for amnesty, not for the betterment of the people mind you, but one more voter bloc to be counted on for THEIR political power, THEIR political greed, and THEIR ambition of eventually tellin us when to crap, how to crap, and how much to crap, is unimaginable to me, that “We the People” have allowed this to take place!

I for one am tired of bein part of the silent majority! I’m not condoning violence by any means, but I am condoning not sittin on our butts anymore and to start making yourselves heard…

LOUD AND CLEAR!

I’m tired of political correctness, when the political correctness shoved down our throats is number one, false and wrong, and number two…not beliefs held…by the majority.

So, I’ll continue to, “Look down the road, son, it’s how I was brought up. Sadly once again though, my lookin down the road sure ain’t very pretty.

God Bless all you guys, and God Bless America.

Please be sure to try to keep that smile on your face, and one in your heart!

Love you all…

Oh…I apologize for bein so short-winded this morning. Seems I jus say what comes to mind and…I’m done! LOL!

“Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. ”

“The strongest reason for the people to retain and keep the right to bear arms is, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”

All three quotations were written by Thomas Jefferson, long before our present government existed.

That man had foresight, did he not?

These three quotes were sent to me from a very good friend of mine, and one whose writings have been seen on our website from time to time.

I call him AP, and this man is a true patriot in every sense of the word.

AP is a self-made man, in his 90’s, a veteran of WWII, a staunch believer in our Constitution and ALL it stands for, and a person not unlike so many of us simply because he LOVES this Country and all it stood for.

“Stood for?” Did I misspeak?

Unfortunately I didn’t.

We lose freedoms every single day.

The lawless have now become…the law.

Through executive orders, political correctness, the mainstream media, literal indoctrination of our children and grandchildren through our far left educational system, illegal immigration, and terminology being shoved down our throats to soften, or deceive true intent or mislead us in so many different ways…

“Enemy combatants” to describe terrorists, or “progressives” to describe elected elite who hide behind this, “nice term for…communists.”

Wasn’t it our President himself when speaking of Sarah Palin told us, “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig?”

The very same can be said of enemy combatants, and progressives, because no matter how much make-up you try to cover it with, they are still…terrorists and communists.

Let’s just say, “If the shoe fits…wear it.”

When are WE, the silent majority, going to take a hard lesson learned from the progressive playbook and stop being…so silent?

Instead of listening ALL the time to their name calling, finger pointing, race baiting, hate mongering, divide and conquer style of politics, can we not turn the very same on them?

You know full well the difference between the two would be our facts in regards to our freedoms and liberties this Country USED to provide for us, versus THEIR jibberish they lay upon their own constituents, whom they have literally dumbed down…bought and paid for with pennies on the dollar through a welfare state, and the literal hate induced rhetoric they enflame them with.

Today, these welfare recipients are convinced it is you and I who have put them in the position they are in as this is exactly what the elected elite tell them…over and over, and over!

When in reality, it has been the goodness of our hearts to even allow this to take place. Our…love thy neighbor” Christian values.

I have made this next statement until I’m blue in the face…

WE ARE FUNDING OUR OWN DEMISE.

I read the other day, that here in the US, we now have more people on disability than the entire population of Greece.

10,982,920…almost 11 million people on disability now.

I wonder the percentage of TRUE disabled people? I’d be willing to bet it’s not even half…or even close.

Our politicians have made this giveaway mentality the norm, and have countless organizations that TEACH, teach them mind you, how to bilk we the taxpayer more and more.

Once again…funding our own demise.

Their goal…destruction of the middle class.

Once WE become dependent…game over. We’ll ALL live on…Rowhouse Street.

Social Justice? That’s what they claim.

Social Equality? Yep…we’ll all be broke.

That’s bout as equal as you can get, huh?

You better think about that…bein broke scenario, people.

It won’t be just broke financially.

It means broke mentally, and spiritually as well.

Once tomorrow has absolutely NO possibility of ever bein better than today, it’ll be a pretty despondent world we live in, huh?

Every single day…the same.

Week after week.

Month after month.

Will there be food on the shelves?

Milk for your babies?

Gas for your car?

Heat in your home?

If so…could you possibly afford it?

Not if we continue to elect communists into office.

I’m crazy you say?

You only have to educate yourself in a very simple and easy to do way. It will tell you quite clearly the end result our elected elite are striving for…

Read history…World history.

Better yet, I’m sure many of you know friends who came here from communist bloc countries…ask them.

I have a buddy from Poland. Lost EVERYTHING he had to the communists…

TWICE!

Moved here for the opportunity our Country provided for him and his family.

He thinks we’ve lost our mind in our choice of elected officials!

He says, “DOUG…you are living today in a mild form of socialism…it will continue to grow, corrupt, and ruin this Nation. You guys don’t read history?”

“ Oh…it starts of nice enough…free food…free rent…free, free, free…(soundin familiar?)Then suddenly…no milk for your children!”

This man has lived the so called, “socialist utopia.”

What the uneducated don’t realize is that the only utopia that will exist will be exclusively for…the elite.

My buddy worries himself sick that now, after coming to the good ole USA and our political environment today, he’ll now lose everything…for a third time!

A few headlines…

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) proposed using the Internal Revenue Service to curtail Tea Party group funding during a speech on how to “exploit” and “weaken” the movement at the Center for American Progress on Thursday.

Wouldn’t that have to be considered as using your political power to pursue your own political agenda, as well as the destruction of any other mindset, our Constitution be damned? Doesn’t that reflect as a true democratic society?

Funding our own demise?

Man in Wisconsin sentenced to one year in jail for attempting to defraud disability claiming to be blind.

Seems he collected $115,000 in unlawful Medicare benefits and evaded $178,000 in taxes between 2004 and 2009 in addition to disability payments.

Evidently, in our government, when you’re using someone else’s money (OURS!), you seem to be much more lenient while passing it out.

But shoot, they don’t read the bills passed into legislation anymore, why would I think they’d be much more stringent and check people out prior to deeming them…disabled?

Crazy me, huh? What could I possibly be thinkin?

Funding our own demise?

Healthcare anyone? I find it bizarre that more people have lost their credible health insurance since the rollout of Obama care than have been enrolled.

Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, whose documentary 2016: Obama’s America took a critical look at President Barack Obama and was a surprise hit in 2012, will be arrested in New York on Friday for allegedly violating campaign-finance law.

Is it just me, or do most remember ALL the questionable campaign financing our President received from overseas, much from anti-America peoples?

Very convenient, the law…when “the lawless” are now, once again…the law!

In closing, we need to take a good, long, hard look at what Mr. Jefferson’s three quotes are warning us of….democracy losing out to giveaway programs, a government grown way, way too large, and our rights through our 2nd amendment to keep and bear arms.

Unfortunately, here in our Country today…silence is no longer golden.

Not on our part!

We as believers in our Founding Fathers, and what freedoms they laid out for us are going to have to start opening our mouths, just as loud, and just as often as our far left leaning political opponents.

We HAVE to stand up and be heard…

You guys have a great day and God Bless.

Keep a smile on your face, and one in your heart.

Doug and Lucky

I don’t know what has got into me here lately…postin every 2-3 days?? Usually a month or so between posts. Wonder what’s up with that?

I gotta admit though, I’m pretty sure of the reasonin behind it…

I’m lonely!

Seems since huntin season kicked off, dad-gum if I ain’t become a single guy once again??

Huntin Season

That dern “Lucky” a mine absolutely LOVES to hunt and fish. She’d rather do either than eat! Dang if it ain’t becoming pretty obvious that she’d rather do either than…be around me too!

That heifer!

Course some of it’s my fault too. We bought a 34 foot 5th wheel to take to the camp, that some friends of hers practically gave to us, see, one more reason I call her Lucky, and that was my biggest mistake…takin it to the camp and settin it up!

Course all this reminds me of a joke…

An 80 year old farmer married a 27 year old woman. The old man worked all the time…daylight to dark, and was give slap out when he reached the house each evening.

Bobby Ray says, “Ya know Doc, to start with it worked out great! I’d fire my rifle and here she’d come in a minute or two. Then, huntin season started up and…I ain’t seen her since!”

You guys don’t reckon “ole Lucky…?”

NAW!!

LOL!

Honestly, she does love it though. I’m very proud that she has something like that, that she so thoroughly enjoys.

Doesn’t matter if she kills a nice buck, and I’m here to testify for her, that if she does shoot one, IT IS a good un. But her enjoyment comes from just her love of the outdoors. Sittin in her tree stand, watchin the coons or turkeys, the deer feedin, or even fightin durin the rut, this is what revs her motor.

It’s been a good year for the members so far, there’s eight families I believe that are part of the camp, so it’s not a big club by any means.

The last count I’d heard was 2 seven pointers, 3 eight pointers, 1 nine pointer, and 2 ten pointers.

Me, I love the outdoors as well, but I stopped huntin some years back. I used to love it though. My kick any more is just watchin the wildlife, although I gotta say…if an exceptional one walked out on me, I’d probably be eatin that sucker.

I love though the fellowship of sittin round the fire and just bein out, but, since one of us has got to make a livin, accordin to her…I’m it!!

LOL!

After huntin season, that heifer has got just enough time to clean, grease, and put her guns up, then…

She’s goin fishin!

Now Into Fishin Season

All jokes a side…

That woman can fish! Honestly guys…she can do it!

Fresh water or salt water…she’s da man! Well…

She’s da woman anyway!

She’ll get in her boat, her house is on Lake Marion, bout a mile and a half from ours, go figure…we get married and HER house is on the lake, but now we live in OUR house here on the place???

Anyway…us men folk don’t stand a chance, do we guys? LOL.

But anyway, she’ll get in her boat down at the lake, find them shellcracker bumpin them pads some, and she’s got her hook in the water…

Just her, God, them shellcrackers and a cane pole!

At times she’ll just slaughter em!

Then, in the saltwater, which even though I’m born and raised here in Florida, I never did much saltwater fishin, she’s one of the dern best.

Her, her son Tommy and his wife Judy took me down to Little Gasparilla Island on the west coast, which they have a place on too, by the way (I did good, huh? LOL), and schooled me in saltwater fishin.

We, or better said, THEY, tore the snook and redfish up! I was astounded for a couple reasons.

First, why in the heck I ain’t done more saltwater fishin, then, dern, these guys know their stuff! Again, no question, they were the teachers and I was…the student!

Tickled them to no end too…me bein a rookie.

On top of this, I’ve always called Lucky by her last name, which was Addison, until we married of course. Still call her Addison though, and honestly she calls me by my, or our last name now…Bronson.

While out fishin in the boat with em, I say, “Hey Addison,” and THREE of them answer back…

“What?”

I KNEW IMMEDIATELY I was in trouble! 3 Addison’s in the boat and only ONE me! Had me WAY back in the back water too…just us, and a WHOLE lot a mangrove swamps! I had NO idea how to get back to the dock either!

Right then, at that very moment, my whole outlook changed. I went suddenly from Superman, to meek, mild mannered Clark Kent!

Stayed that way too.

Yes sir, no sir. Yes ma’am, no ma’am.

Shoot, come to think about it…

I ain’t been back down there with em!

She did rub a little salt in my wounds too while we were down there…

Here I was, fishin HARD, and not havin any luck?? Finally, ole Lucky with ANOTHER dern redfish on the end of her pole, says, “Here Bronson…ya wanna reel him in for me?”

Ticked me OFF to no end.

Well…ME bein ME, an ole tough Florida born and bred cracker, I gave her the what for!

“Really,” I asked. “Why sure honey, I’d love to! Thanks a million dear! Dern, I love you!”

Then, to top it off, the three of them had still been pickin at me bout my saltwater fishin skills, or better said, my lack of them, and out of the blue Lucky says,…

“Ya know what Bronson? Your fishin don’t pick up, I can see an ANNULLMENT comin down the road!”

Ya gotta know her though. She was just joshin me…

I think??

You were joshin me, right Lucky?

Ya know, sittin here postin this this morning, with Lucky havin a place on the lake, a place on the island, and a huntin camp 4 miles from OUR (LOL) house…
Ya reckon it just might be me, who’s… “Lucky?”

NAW!!

Me either!

All jokin aside though, God did Bless me with Kathrine, and I’m thankful to Him for it. She was a wonderful friend to Deb for many, many years and you don’t know how much comfort that is. No question Kathrine loved her, and Deb her as well.

This in itself has brought such a peaceful closure to the chapter of Deb and my life we shared together. Only through God’s will in Debs regard, and Kathrine and her husband Ronnie’s as well, could we be in the position we are in today.

Only through our Father’s love for us, His love for you guys out there as well, could Kathrine and I been so fortunate to find that through God having us right where He wanted us, He gave us both once more…

A reason for laughter, a reason for happiness, and the great blessing of having someone alongside you who you know really, really cares about you simply because…you’re you.

God does work in mysterious ways my friends. If anyone out there today who just happened to run across this post and doesn’t know God…give Him a chance in your own life.

If so, I know you’ll soon come to understand…unconditional love!

In closing this out this morning, I’d just like to say God Bless you and yours, and thank you so much to many of you out there who we truly consider…our friends!

Be sure to keep a smile on your face, and one in your hearts!

Oh…

If any of you guys were to run across Lucky out there in them woods somewhere, please tell her I love her, and…I’m down at OUR house, not HER house! LOL!

Also, tell her she’s at least got to come by here AFTER huntin season, cause I gathered up all her fishin tackle, got it locked up and I’m the only one with the key!

Doug and Lucky
