There is a Himalayan Tree that is know as a disease fighting Super Hero. The Moringa Tree (Moringa oleifera) has been used in South East Asia for centuries. Moringa can thrive in most tropical and subtropical regions.
It’s seeds can be used to help purify water. It’s leaves can be used as Bio-Fertilizer.
It’s one of those trees that every single part of it can be consumed.
Most recently scientists have started using it’s unique properties to treat serious illnesses.
The Moringa tree’s fresh leaves are crushed to release a powerful compound, then dried into a powder. It can be used to treat Obesity, Cholesterol, Diabetes, and Bowl disorders. The leaves are also highly nutritious. Once harvested and dried, they contain 30% protein, all essential amino acids, and have abundant levels of vitamins and minerals.
The Bioactive compounds in Moringa are called isothiocyanates (ITCs) and are similar to ones found in broccoli and cabbage. These compounds ability to reduce chronic inflammation, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, obesity and inflammatory bowel disorders in both cellular and animal models has been proven.
The leaves and seed pods of the Moringa tree have unique chemical compounds which help defend the tree itself against environmental stress and pests.
Moringa is most commonly found in India and the Philippines but its cultivation is rapidly increasing throughout Asia, Africa, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Moringa tree’s have been known to survive droughts and grow rapidly in harsh conditions that would mike it harder for other trees to survive. Not surprisingly Moringa Trees are quickly being considered the world’s newest Superfood.
Moringa products and companies are on the rise, but caution for high quality products is needed. Most herbal products in the US and Kenya are not strictly regulated, leaving room for additions, alterations, and contamination. Additionally the soil, farming techniques, and processing of the leaves can affect its quality and nutrient content. Finding a high-quality Moringa powder may require a little research and contacting the company. Or you could buy some seeds and grow your own superheroes trees at home in your garden.

“For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome,” reads the quote from Jeremiah 29:11 on the pamphlet of the Casa Hogar El Corazón de Rey children’s home in Acuña.
The mission of White Stone Ministries, who operate the nonprofit home, is predicated on that scriptural verse. The home is a place of shelter, care, comfort and safety for children who have been abandoned, forgotten, abused and neglected. The 6,000 square foot structure is located three blocks from the port in downtown Acuna and currently houses 35 children including infants. The central figure in the home isn’t Ron Sherman, co-founder of the home, but Christ.
However, Sherman, along with his wife Anna Sherman, an ordained minister and native of South Africa, are the Earthly facilitators of El Corazón de Rey home. Setting out to be an orchestra conductor/music teacher, Ron Sherman, who has his Ph.D. in Christian counseling and is a certified behavioral consultant, became disillusioned with public education and took the path less traveled journeying to the deep south to teach at a Christian drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Alabama. When that facility closed its doors, he was led to open two children’s homes in Uvalde and an emergency shelter in San Antonio. After nine years, the state cut its support for nonprofit children’s homes, which comprised 99 percent of the funding for Ron Sherman’s sites, and he found himself without a home so to speak. “I’m not a fundraiser. Our budget was...a third of a million dollars every year,” he said.
Ron Sherman soon began doing consulting work in Mexican orphanages.
“I just got hooked with what I saw in Mexico, because the orphanages, children’s homes were...they’re bad.” He couldn’t believe what he saw. The first home he was invited to was in Mexico City. Just blocks from the Zócalo. “It was a five-story office building that had been converted into a children’s home and they had 600 kids in there. It was horrible, horrible, horrible in there. Good people...but they would have 35 kids in one bedroom,” he commented. He explained the situation wasn’t intentional, but the staff was completely overwhelmed.
Eventually, he was asked to travel to South Africa to visit a church and orphanages. In local townships and in Zambia, he witnessed heart wrenching and gut-churning situations. One of the first children he held there was dying of AIDS like many of the others who surrounded her. “I never held a child that I knew was dying. That was gonna die,” he said. The administrator at that particular home indicated to Ron Sherman that all the kids there were three to four months away from death. He came back home and ultimately, after walking through a variety of barriers and stumbling blocks in Mexico, started the home in Acuña with Anna.
“A year into it we had a surprise visit from the head lady at the top (Coahuila child protective services), the head attorney for child protective services for the state level and head psychologist...They spent seven hours with us...so when they left they said congratulations you have the best home in the state...and so every year for the last eight years that’s the way we are. And they took our stuff and turned it into a manual for the state,” he said. More than 400 kids have come through the home during the past nine years without funding from any level of government in Mexico.
White Stone Ministries’ funding comes from private donors, churches and their thrift and consignment store in

​It amazes me at times how so many of us have so much and yet feel like we have little or nothing at all. I have trouble putting that together. Trying to figure out why so many of us have so many voids in our lives at times.
We sit in our nice apartments or houses, with our nice late model cars or trucks in our driveways, watching something on Cable or Satellite on our nice, Big, Flat Screen Tv’s and while looking something up on the internet on our Tablet or Smartphone though our high speed WiFi and still we seem to think we’re in sad shape? Where has all the family gone?
Some of us have just spent a recent holiday with close family and even with a few extended family members that we may only just get to see every now and then but, when you stop and think about it, we are the lucky ones. There are all to many others of us who grew up with family around us even next door or just down the street and those family members don’t even make an effort to reach out to us at all anymore.
Sadder still, it’s not that some of our relatives don’t know where we are because they know we’re on Facebook and know what city we live in but what a horrible upbringing we must have had that they instead decide to shun us. You guys know exactly who you are or who these people are. The same people that sat on the porch with us while we played with little plastic soldiers or ran around the house with us playing Indians and cowboys. The same people that walked to school with us down the railroad tracks every day or came over on the weekend to play with our dog and us.
Sometimes we are so caught up with our every day stuff and our own close family that we just tend to put distance between us and all that family we once were part of early on in our lives. Somewhere along the way, some of us realize this and, we try to reach out. Sadly some of us don’t go far enough in trying to reach out and before we know it those brothers, sisters, cousins, etc, have big families of there own. Family members that may never know of us until someone mentions their going to our funeral? After that it’s just too late.
Wouldn’t it be nice if all those extended cousins, nieces and nephews even knew who we were and what we’ve done in our lives even if only for reference. What a much nicer family it could be. Unfortunately many of us will never know unless someone makes an effort to reach at some point and often. Happy New Year and GOD Speed.
Just Another Point Of View.

We’re approaching the downhill of the, oh so short, Holiday season and the movies are still becoming you to a nearby theater.
Have you had a chance to see any of the season’s latest? Yes ? No?
Did you catch Jaime Fox in the latest version of Robin Hood? Rated: PG13 from Summit Entertainment, this latest adaptation of the classic tale
Robin of Loxley, played by Taron Egerton, a war-hardened Crusader and his Moorish commander who is played by a one armed Jamie Foxx. Together they mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown in a thrilling action-adventure packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography, and a timeless romance.
Be prepared though, this script portrays the church as the greedy, money hungry, controlling entity some truly believe it is. One which created Hell and it’s demons to keep the flock in check.
Runtime is; 116 Minutes.
What about the latest with Liam Neeson, kind of, WIDOWS?
I say kind of because Liam’s part though integral to the story is quite short overall.
“From Academy Award (R)-winning director Steve McQueen (“12 Years a Slave”) and co-writer and bestselling author Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl”) comes a blistering, modern-day thriller set against the backdrop of crime, passion and corruption. “Widows” is the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands’ criminal activities.
Set in contemporary Chicago, amid a time of turmoil, tensions build when Veronica (Oscar (R) winner Viola Davis), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) and Belle (Cynthia Erivo) take their fate into their own hands and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. “Widows” also stars Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, Daniel Kaluuya, Lukas Haas and Brian Tyree Henry.”
From 20th Century Fox “Widows” runs 128 Minutes.


Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year at The Movies.

Tres años antes de su muerte, San Francisco de Asís, con el deseo de celebrar con toda la solemnidad posible el nacimiento del Señor, en la navidad del año 1223 hace por primera vez el Pesebre o Belén, representación del misterio del nacimiento de Cristo, como uno de los símbolos cristianos queridos y muy significativos en la Iglesia. Para ello solicitó la aprobación del Papa Honorio III.
En la página, que viva la navidad, encontramos: “Francisco estaba débil y enfermo, y pensando que aquella sería su última Navidad en la tierra, quiso celebrarla de una manera distinta y muy especial.
Un amigo de Francisco, el señor Juan Velita, era dueño de un pequeño bosque en las  montañas de Greccio, (Italia). En su bosque había una gruta que a Francisco se le parecía mucho a la cuevita donde nació Jesús, en Belén, y que él había conocido hacía poco en su viaje a Tierra Santa.
Francisco habló con su amigo, le contó su idea de hacer allí un “pesebre vivo”, y juntos lo prepararon todo, en secreto, para que fuera una sorpresa para los habitantes del pueblo, niños y grandes.
Entre la gente del pueblo, Francisco y Juan escogieron algunas personas para que representaran a María, a José, y a los pastores; les hicieron prometer que no dirían nada a nadie antes de la Navidad, y, siguiendo el relato del Evangelio de San Lucas, prepararon la escena del nacimiento. ¡Hasta consiguieron un hermoso bebé para que representara a Jesús!
La noche de Navidad, cuando todas las familias estaban reunidas en sus casas, las campanas de la iglesia empezaron a tocar solas…  ¡Tocaban y tocaban como si hubiera una celebración especial!… Pero nadie sabía qué estaba pasando… El Párroco del pueblo no había dicho que fuera a celebrar la  Misa del Gallo… la Misa de Medianoche…. Sorprendidos y asustados a la vez, todos los habitantes de Greccio salieron de sus casas para ver qué estaba sucediendo… Entonces vieron a Francisco que desde la montaña los llamaba, y les indicaba que subieran donde él estaba.
Alumbrándose con antorchas, todos se dirigieron al lugar indicado, y cuando llegaron quedaron tan admirados, que cayeron de rodillas, porque estaban viendo algo que nunca habían pensado poder ver. Era como si el tiempo hubiera retrocedido muchos, muchos años, y se encontraran en Belén, celebrando la primera Navidad de la historia: María tenía a Jesús en sus brazos, y José, muy entusiasmado, conversaba con un grupo de pastores y pastoras, que no se cansaban de admirar al niño que había acabado de nacer…
Después, cuando todos se calmaron, el sacerdote, que había sido cómplice de Francisco y de Juan Velita en aquel secreto, celebró la Santa Misa, y Jesús se hizo presente en el Pan y el Vino consagrados, como pasa siempre que se celebra una Misa en cualquier lugar del mundo. Terminada la Eucaristía, Francisco, lleno de amor y de alegría, contó a todos los presentes, con lujo de detalles, la hermosa historia de la Navidad, y Jesús, “luz del mundo”, llenó sus corazones de paz y de amor”.
Como nos cuenta el Padre Carlos Quiva, el montaje de los pesebres por navidad, se consolidó  primero en la península itálica  y fue pasando al resto de Europa.  En el siglo XVIII el rey Carlos VII promueve la difusión de los nacimientos en toda España y después pasa a América; esta costumbre se popularizó en todo el mundo, con la intención de reproducir la escena de la primera navidad.
En esta representación está en primer plano Jesús, María y José en un establo, según relata el Evangelio de Lucas.  También los acompaña la mula y el buey,  incluidos por San Francisco aludiendo a lo que nos dice Isaías 1,3: “el buey conoce a su dueño, y el asno el pesebre de su señor. Pero Israel no me conoce, mi pueblo no discierne”. Puede incluirse también la representación de los pastores reunidos para adorar al Nino, de los tres astrólogos orientales con sus ofrendas, de ángeles y de la estrella de Belén.
Ojalá nosotros no perdamos esta bella tradición que nos ayuda a animar nuestra fe; ojalá no la cambiemos por Santa Claus que nada tiene que ver con el Misterio de nuestra redención.  Que en nuestros hogares se arregle con ilusión, fe y esperanza el Belén o Pesebre y que nos congreguemos como familia ferviente en torno a él en los días anteriores a la Navidad y en la misma Noche Buena, para contemplar los misterios de la Anunciación, la Encarnación y el Nacimiento de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que viene en la condición de nuestra carne para salvarnos y darnos “vida abundante”.  No olvidemos que Cristo se puso en camino desde el Cielo a la tierra, para enseñarnos a nosotros los mortales el camino desde la tierra al Cielo.  Hagamos de esta navidad un momento de bendición y gracia donde verdaderamente le ofrecemos a Cristo el Pesebre de nuestro corazón.  Dios los bendiga.  Sady Pbro.

And so it comes around for another year and Christmas time is once more upon us, the hurrying up of trying to get all the gifts and hoping that you are not forgetting someone.
The undecided decision of which should I get, this present or that present. It’s the same every year especially when you wait till the last minute, you really don’t want to make a mistake because then you’re gonna be faced with the problem of returning the merchandise.
Another thing, now you’re gonna have to find the time to get to the stores without anyone tagging along. It’s no fun because now they are gonna know what they are getting for Christmas. So there you are, already stressed out and in a hurry and then you finally get going to the stores, you get in your car and try to get into the spirit of the holiday and you turn on your radio, and there they are the same old Christmas songs of every year.
Whether you have Sirius radio or local radio or even some cd’s that you might have from about 20 years ago, they are still the same ole songs. Do people really believe that there are only about 200 Christmas oldies? What about all those other songs that never get played. Radio stations use the excuse that people will turn off the station when you play unfamiliar music.
How can remember anything different if you are not given the chance to experience anything else. There are many great Christmas songs that never get played.
So this Christmas holiday listen to the Little Red Rooster Show on KWMC’s 1490AM the all new classic hits station, as you will get to hear some very different Christmas tunes. And remember that all information on artist of the month and special shows are by Wendy Johnson and all shows are produced by Javier Martinez.
From all the staff at KWMC 1490 AM we wish you and your family the best of the holidays. Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year.
Got it, thanks!Thank you!Got it.

Can’t we just all get along? More and more these days it seems that we worry too much about what others say and do and trying to be as politically correct as possible instead of worrying about the things that should truly matter to all of us. It would seem that we waste so much valuable time and hour, days, weeks and months of our lives addressing things that are so unimportant ion the larger realm of things.
Recently anther person was fired for what she said that did not seem to be politically correct with respect to race. Even during a Halloween broadcast recently
Al Roker also got in slightly hot water based on the fact that he dressed up as a white man as a holiday costume, but really.
Until We All Figure Out A Way to Become Civil About Things related to The Color of Our Skin or Our Ethnic Origin Will We Be Able To Live As ONE PEOPLE In This World And The World Would Be Such A Much Better Place By It. I believe You should have a Right To Not Like People Dressing Up In Black Face Just As I Should Be Able To Not Like People Dressing Up Like Red Skins BUT, We Should Be Able To Discuss Such Things In A Civil Manner. Make Others Understand WHY Such Things Are Not Right BUT DO NOT Seek To Destroy Them Because They Don’t Understand Why. That In ITSELF Is The Biggest Racist Act Anyone Can Participate In And Will Only Continue To Divide Us.
Isn’t it time to try to start working to a solution to this and other similar issues that cause us to just waste valuable time on thinks that we should have been able to come to terms with long ago.
Even that GOOD Book has much to say about the subject.
Psalm 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity. “
1 Peter 3:8 “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.” Mathew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 1 John 3:11 “For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.”
I could go on and on but we should all get the picture now. Live, Let Live and above everything else, Love. GOD Speed.
