Dio suffered a devastating back injury in 1997. The injury did not heal properly and turned into RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy). No longer just a back injury, RSD affects the entire body. The #1 issue with this disease is the non-stop pain coursing through the body. It never stops, day or night, the pain is constant. Dio has endured 9 surgical procedures in an attempt to get some relief from the pain.



The #1 cause of death among RSD patients is not the disease itself......it's suicide.



Multiple studies have shown the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Treatments-HBOT for the RSD patient in relieving their pain. These treatments are not covered by insurance. HBOT is the last chance Dio Gutierrez has at realizing some quality of life.....as it is right now he spends 20 hours a day in bed in agonizing pain.



For more information on RSD please go to www.rsdhope.org

Okay, this is just plain funny, regardless of your political leanings....................

Does anybody know of any agencies in the state of Arizona that actually provide assistance to people in desperate need?

My sister in law took her six kids and left my sick, piece of crap brother after she caught him molesting the children.

She and I have spent the past two years working with authorities to get his butt locked up in a jail cell.  He is finally incarcerated and won't be getting out any time soon.

For the record Arizona pedophile laws SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Per the police there they don't even like to take a report unless the victim can remember THE DATE of the assault, cause I guess when a three year old is being violated I guess they are supposed to have the presence of mind to say, "hold on a second, I have to go put this in my special moments journal." 

Anyway, for two years now my sister in law and the kids have literally had to bounce from place to place.  My brother would always find them and the stalking would begin and she would have to leave and find another place and then it would start all over again. 

She did the right thing, taking the children and leaving the second she found out, and it cost her everything. 

No vehicle.

No home.

No job.

Really no such thing as welfare in that state. 

Don't even think about Christmas presents.

I have done everything I can to help her from a state away, I live in California.

I don't know what else to do.

So, if anybody knows of legitimate resources and help in Arizona, please respond and tell me.

*I WANT CHRISTMAS BACK

*T'was the month before Christmas*

*When all through our land,*

*Not a Christian was praying*

*Nor taking a stand.*

*Th e PC Police had just taken away,*

*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*

*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*

*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*

*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*

* December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*

*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*

*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*

*Something was changing, something quite odd! *

0D

*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*

*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*

*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*

* At Lowe's, the word 'Christmas' - was no where to be found.*

*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*

*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*

*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*

*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*

*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*

*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*

*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*

*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*

* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*

*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*

*The reason for the season, stopped ere it started.*

*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'*

*Sipping your Starbucks, please listen to me.*

*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*

*Shout "MERRY CHRISTMAS" ,

Not "Happy Holiday !"*

Please, all Christians join together and

Wish everyone you meet during the

Holidays a

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christ is 'The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!

Homosexuality. 

One word that stirs up a whole bunch of heated debate.

I have a view point, a theory on homosexuality, that usually pisses of both sides of the debate.

From the Christian standpoint, no one is born homosexual.  I disagree.  I believe that the majority of homosexuals are born that way.

Fellow Christians, please read the rest of the blog before you send me your responses.

From the homosexual point of view they are born that way and there is nothing wrong with it.  I disagree.  While I do believe most homosexual's are born that way, that doesn't mean it's okay.  People are born with all kinds of things, some that take a while to manifest.  Such as diabetes, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, cancer, cleft palate, etc., etc.  The point being that not everything we are born with is a good thing.

And much like the diabetic has to choose whether or not to eat sugar or die, and the schizophrenic has to choose whether or not to take their medications or have a horrible existence, the homosexual has to choose whether or not to participate in a homosexual lifestyle that will guarantee them a one way ticket to hell.
 
God made Adam and Eve.  Period.  A man and a man or a woman and a woman simply do not fit well together.  It is that simple.  It is not about who can have children, or who can hire the biggest lobbyist to ram it down our throats under the guise of acceptance and tolerance.

Guess what folks?  It is okay not to accept and tolerate everything.  I don't have to and neither do you.  Some of you will have great issue with this blog and will not accept it or tolerate it.  And that is perfectly fine.

The issue is when the line is crossed.  I have the right to say that I think homosexuality is wrong and here are the reasons why.  I have the right to say I believe gay marriage to be wrong and here is why.  What I do not have the right to do is take some one's home because they are gay, or beat them up, or take their money from them, etc, etc.

And conversely, a person that disagrees with me does not have the right to bash me or take things from me either.

That is where the line is and unfortunately people on both sides of this issue routinely cross that line.
