My story with God
I have been to America on October.2001, right after 9.11 attacks, for 9 month. I really hated my life and myself. I expected America to give me wonderful motivation for life. But what I found in America, the loneliness and disappointness(Oh, I don't blame America, so don't be upset). There was a Japanese Christian lady and she invited me to Church, Christmas service. I thought "Oh, American Chruch? it worth of visiting!" , so I visited. It was really terrible was my impression after joining in Christmas service. Then by accident, yes, it is by accident, I joined in Christian 5 days conference in North California. I really criticize their faith. While I was denying the existence of God, I do remember, someone said"But God is lonely even if only you are missing. He is waiting for you, stretching his hands" I felt a joy in my heart. Then I first prayed to God, though I am a little bit embarrassed,"If you existed, please show yourself to me". Then he send a girl, who answered my most interested question, Then I confessed Jesus is my Savior, it is on last day of the conference. Since then, more than 7 years has passed. He always has guided me. He has never forsaken nor left me no matter how ignorant and arrogant and disobedient and corrupted I have been. He saved my younger sister, my mother, and my grand mother, all of them has lived a difficult life, but He always watched over their lives while they didn't know Jesus. Then finally He stretched his merciful hand to them and they are now happy. Thanks, Lord!!

    MASAAKI, HERE'S A JOKE FOR YOU, I GOT THIS FROM THE AAG FORUM-

    WIFE REPORTS MISSING HUSBAND... BUT SHE
    IS NOT MISSING HER HUSBAND :) (SMILE)

    A lady calls the police to report her husband is missing. The police arrive and ask for a description. She tells them he's 6 foot 2 inches tall, blonde wavy hair and has a smile that makes everybody love him.

    The police then go to the next door neighbor to verify this report and the lady next door tells the police, "You can't believe her. He's 5 foot 4 inches tall, has no hair and he wears a perpetual frown on his face."

    The neighbor then goes and asks the lady why she gave the police such a false report. She replies, "Just because I reported him missing, doesn't mean I wanted him back!"

    Found this to be very interesting.. You'll look at veggies in a whole new light.


    A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...

    God left us great clues as to what foods help what part of our body!
    God's Pharmacy! Amazing!
    A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil,iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

    A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopene and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

    Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart.. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

    A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

    Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

    Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

    Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

    Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility..

    Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.

    Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

    Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

    There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.

    He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.

    Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

    As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!

    In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his Sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes'

    But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.'

    Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?'

    So Johnny did the dishes.

    Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.'

    Sally just smiled and said, 'well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help?

    She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help. After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

    He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.

    Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.'
    Thought for the day and every day thereafter:


    Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You need to know that:
    God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.He has seen your whole life... He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.

    The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets.



    It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved.

    Go ahead and make the difference in someone's life today.

    Share this with a friend and always remember:

    God is at the window!When Jesus died on the cross; he was thinking of you!
