Enter, Donald Trump

Whether you like him;whether you hate him, Donald Trump has become more than a "seven day wonder" in the Republican race for the White House.
With his audacious insults of just about every major national figure, combined with politically incorrect bombs thrown in all directions, Trump has succeeded in enraging the media and fellow republican candidates alike.
If this has been done unintentionally or as part of a predetermined strategy is unclear, but either, or, he is currently leading the pack in terms of his popularity.
Among Trump's stated objectives if elected President: a Trump Wall erected from West to East along the Mexican border, the deportation of all illegal immigrants, the deportation of all visitors to America when their visas expire, a warning to North Korea to stop threatening their neighbours or risk being bombed, the instant scrapping of Obama-care, the de-funding of Planned Parenthood and the nixing of the Iran Nuclear arms deal, to mention but a few.
For these blunt, un-ambivalent statements Trump is now the front runner in the Republican field and, in a head-to-head match up with Hilary Clinton, leads the poll by 49 to 44 %.
Meanwhile it is rumoured that Rosie O Donnell has threatened to commit suicide if Trump is elected.
Better keep the pills handy, Rosie, we might yet be seeing the inauguration of The Donald in 2016.

Jubilate.

A word of appreciation

                           TEN WEEKS TO WELLNESS.
                                       IAN WILSON
Yesterday I had more greetings and good wishes than at any other time and for any other birthday. For all those sentiments and for all well-wishers, my heartiest thanks. I hope I'm still around at 77 to get some more!
I have given you a photo of a book that I recently wrote for the use of small groups in our church.
"Ten Weeks to Wellness"
As one of our men observed to the congregation "It is not one step to wellness or one pill to wellness. It is ten weeks."
Anyway, I decided to share with as many as may be interested some of the secrets to wellness that I have proved over the years, and especially for the last twenty.
If humans were only a body then the doctors and surgeons would surely be able to supply all the needed solutions to a long and happy life. But the answers are not that simple. There is the emotional side of our being, the mental, the relational and, perhaps most important of all, what we refer to as the "Hidden Man of the Heart".
Achieving harmony at all levels of being is the key to what Jesus called "abundant life"
At 76 years of age I can claim to have had my fair share of just that and in "Ten Weeks to Wellness" I share some of these well proven principles.
If you want a copy (or copies) let me know by phone # 705 733 1307 or by email at ipwilson@rogers.com and we will see what we can do.
Jubilate.
