										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><span style="color: #ff6600;">Raoul&#8217;s 2 cents</span></h4>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>A Parking Spot</strong></span></h1>
<pre>[This article is a little religious so skip to the jokes if it makes you nervous please.]</pre>
<p>There&#8217;s a joke about a woman looking for a parking spot during the frenzy of a Christmas Shopping. It&#8217;s so crowded that she makes a desperate deal with God: <em>&#8220;I promise to give up my bad habits, forgive all my enemies and start going to church if you grant me a teenie weenie space.&#8221;</em> Suddenly a spot opens and she looks up and says <em>&#8220;Oh, never mind God, I found one!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Many of us experience a miracle and we never even know it.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to harp on my recent illness but it would be a crime if I didn&#8217;t thank you for your prayers. They truly helped in my most painful moments. For those who don&#8217;t know the history of my remark, I&#8217;ll try to explain as concisely as I can.</p>
<p>Almost 2 months ago my blood pressure (BP) went up and, because of the pandemic, I had to meet my doctor via zoom. My regular doctor was unavailable so a temporary doctor stepped in. She looked like she was still in intern school and I had little confidence on her prognosis. This<em> &#8220;Doogie Howser&#8221;</em> gave me 4 times my regular dosage of my BP medication. I reluctantly followed her advice. In a few hours, I got all weird inside &#8212; naueseuos, weak, muscle aches, exhaustion, chills &#8212; it was as if well-mannered Dr. Jekyll was convulsing into the sinister Mr. Hyde. Sure my BP went down but <em>oooh!</em> my body turned into a useless shell. I was literally thinking <em>&#8220;is this where it ends?</em>&#8221; My wife rushed me to the Urgent Care and then the Emergency Room. I was in pain but at least I wasn&#8217;t gonna die.</p>
<p>I scheduled a second zoom meeting with my regular doctor and I complained that I was too weak to even turn over in bed without difficulty. I would wake up with frozen fingers difficult to bend. I couldn&#8217;t work. A few minutes on the computer and I needed to rest. The doctor feared that I developed fibromyalgia and I would have muscular aches for the rest of my life. I researched on how to cope with the disease only to find there is no cure. I would never play the guitar again, I would never sing again &#8230; my squiggly writing told me I would never draw again. I blamed that young doctor who triggered my failing nervous system.</p>
<p>(I do have to mention that I could barely walk when I went to Dr. Wendy, a skilled chirpractor, who put my aching bones in place and allowed blood to flow correctly. She was amazing.)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the twist. What I thought was the<em> Kiss of Death</em> from the overdose turned out to be a blessing from God. <em>Doogie Howser</em> gave me a Matrix choice &#8212; the BLUE pill (weeks of nausea) or the RED pill (a heart attack or stroke and open heart surgery) &#8212; and I took the BLUE pill. I only now understood why they gave me an EKG and a brain scan. They were looking for a blockage. I should have had a heart attack.</p>
<p>My daughter (a nurse) said after living with abnormal hypertension all my life, my body was just adjusting to &#8220;normal.&#8221; I&#8217;ve waited patiently for almost 2 months since the start of my demise and today I went to my cardiologist for my cardio echo test (no results yet but I feel good about it). I believe I&#8217;m back! BP is OK and no more muscular pain. A miracle touched my tired body. God gave me a parking spot.</p>
<p>We have an amazing God who listens and answers prayers &#8230; YOUR prayers. I mean it guys, thank you.</p>
<p>TGIF people!<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">Last Weekend of May</span></h2>
<p>It&#8217;s been a very busy day. I&#8217;m worn out. I wish I had a spark of creativity left to send with this email but alas, this is all I have left.</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;ve communicated with more people on a deeper level this week than many past months. I feel like I wear a different hat for different occasions/situations and this week has left me with so many hats on the floor. No wonder I&#8217;m tired. I&#8217;m definitely looking forward to the weekend.</p>
<p>Keep safe and hold on to your faith. TGIF people!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">Doc Hollywood</span></h1>
<p>Last week I shared about Doctor Ka-Ching! This week it was Doc Hollywood.</p>
<p>The minute he entered, his radiance filled the room. This surgeon who was assigned to open my tummy looked like one of those gorgeous TV doctors. He had the proper wavy peppered hair that went slow motion when he flipped his head. Behind him were 2 female interns who were shadowing him that day. Actually, they looked more like 2 groovy backup singers following their rock -n-roll superstar. They didn&#8217;t say a word. They just smiled &#8230; and swooned at Doc Hollywood&#8217;s every breath.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Drop your pants!&#8221;</em> he barked. I looked at the 2 ladies and I thought &#8220;no way was I dropping my pants all the way down there.&#8221; I think Doc Hollywood understood my hesitancy and he also didn&#8217;t want anything to outshine his glory. So he examined me at &#8220;half mast.&#8221; I couldn&#8217;t look at the ladies but I could feel their stares.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cough! Aha! there it is! You definitely have a hernia&#8230; it&#8217;s alive! It&#8217;s alive!!! Nyah ha ha!&#8221;<em> </em>he declared while poking my lower abdomen like his little play-thing. And then it happened: He opened his mouth to begin his Academy award winning speech. The women&#8217;s jaws dropped as they savored the moment in unbridled ecstasy. Doc Hollywood delivered his doctoral dissertation of a hernia &#8230; something he probably recites 10 times a day.<em> &#8220;Like the interior tube of a car tire,&#8221;</em> he said,<em> &#8220;hernias develop at the softest tissues of your internal organs. The &#8220;tube&#8221; jots out of your stomach whenever you exert pressure on it. There is no emergency. Some people live with hernias for years without even knowing it.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>That was the last I remember because  the whole time he&#8217;s talking, I&#8217;m thinking <em>&#8220;what kind of a car does he drive? I bet it&#8217;s a Porsche. I bet he golfs every day &#8230; has a different woman assigned for every night of the week and takes a Martini on the rocks  &#8230; shaken, not stirred.&#8221; </em>At the end of his spiel I could have sworn I heard clapping and cheering from the balcony. He took a bow and he was gone&#8230; the two adoring fans dancing behind him. It was surreal.</p>
<p>So sometime mid-April I will have my appointment with destiny. Can you pray for me? I&#8217;ve never had an operation like this in my life. I&#8217;m not scared &#8230; more curious than scared. What would be real cool is if God were to grant me a miracle. How cool would that be if Doc Hollywood pokes around and doesn&#8217;t see any hernia?  We&#8217;ve got over 5 weeks to make this happen.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>Raoul&#8217;s 2 Cents</h5>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">Doctor Ka-Ching</span></h1>
<p>Do you like your doctor? If you know me, you know that I don&#8217;t really care for my doctor, <strong><em>Dr. Ka-Ching</em></strong>. He treats me like a number. And I don&#8217;t blame him. I don&#8217;t take him seriously and so he doesn&#8217;t take me seriously. When I go to him I prepare a list of things that I feel needs attention. And he goes down that list like it&#8217;s the funny papers &#8212; the silliest things in the world: <em>&#8220;Dry skin? Nah! Don&#8217;t worry about it! There&#8217;s always skin lotion. Thinning hair? That&#8217;s normal &#8212; you&#8217;re old! Pain in your back? Just exercise! .. take 2 of these and you&#8217;ll be fine in the morning &#8230; next patient!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>A lot of help he is, huh? The only time I think he is truly happy is when he discovers something wrong with me because it means he can recommend more pills or get more commission referring me to a specialist. He&#8217;s recommended pills and physical therapists &#8212; none of them I agreed with and never followed up with. So every time I come for a checkup I get this disappointed face because even though I didn&#8217;t follow his advice he sees that I am still healthy.</p>
<p>However, things were different last month. I told him I was feeling pain near my groin every time I tried to get up. <strong><em>Ka-ching!</em></strong> His eyes lit up. <em>&#8220;Drop your pants! Cough! Aha! You have a hernia! You need a surgery. (Oboy!) They&#8217;ll have to cut you open, put a mesh, sew you back together. You&#8217;ll feel pain for a while (Yes!) and that&#8217;s it!&#8221; </em></p>
<p>Maybe I was imagining it but he really seemed to relish my impending suffering. I know for sure he loved saying <em>&#8220;you have no choice but to have surgery&#8221;</em> &#8212; that echoed several times in my head. Checkmate! He got me!</p>
<p>So here I am, waiting for a few more appointments before the big &#8220;snip snip&#8221; day. I&#8217;m not afraid of the operation. My biggest concern and regret is <strong><em>Dr. Ka-Ching </em></strong>having the last laugh. And if that&#8217;s my biggest worry, this shouldn&#8217;t be too bad.</p>
<p>TGIF people! I hope you take better care of your health. And if you feel sick, remember, I can always recommend my doctor. <em>Not!</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I learned a long time ago that minor surgery is when they do the operation on someone else, not you!&#8221;</em><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">Who&#8217;d a Thunk it?</span></h1>
<p>I&#8217;m in a philosophical frame of mind today. My wife and I are winding down our study on Hermeneutics and we are finishing up our written essay. It&#8217;s one of the modules of a bigger course on Biblical Counseling which we started last year. I admit we study this a bit late in our lives but we feel this is where the Lord is leading us. We&#8217;ve been helping out a few friends who are going through issues and so we thought we might as well get trained so we&#8217;d be better equipped to help whoever else comes along. We&#8217;re not doing this for the money. We&#8217;ve been through our own trials and it is our turn to pass on what we learned. Who&#8217;d a thunk we would get into this?</p>
<p>Mr. Gomez wears a map of tattoos all over his body. This macho guy works in a shop that maintains huge garbage trucks. But don&#8217;t let his persona fool you. He&#8217;s actually quite sensitive. He just self-published a book (<a title="The Curious Minds" href="https://www.amazon.com/Curious-Minds-Children-Left-Behind/dp/1720397759/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1535671176&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=curious+minds+of+my+children+left+behind" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Curious Minds of My Children Left Behind</a>) for his young kids who wondered why he had to leave them for work every morning. In fact, he&#8217;d rather write children&#8217;s books than his macho job. <em><span class="ILfuVd yZ8quc">Who&#8217;d a thunk it? </span></em>Buy his book and support his passion.</p>
<p>JJ has been a property manager for 30 years but he recently started teaching American and African History. He drives 3 hours round trip for his classes. He doesn&#8217;t do it for the money either. He does it because he believes he can make a difference in his students&#8217; lives. <em><span class="ILfuVd yZ8quc">Who&#8217;d a thunk it?</span></em></p>
<p>Ivan is a car and motorcycle enthusiast. Not only does he build and rebuild fast cars and motorcycles but he also races them. He has appeared in cable TV shows fabricating multi-million dollar vehicles. But now he wants to be a pastor. <em><span class="ILfuVd yZ8quc">Who&#8217;d a thunk it?</span></em></p>
<p>Saul was a Jew who lived in the 1st century. He was a pure-bred Pharisee, a scholar, a zealous preacher who followed the law without fault. But one day, on his way to persecute his detractors, he was blinded by a bright light and a voice gave him his &#8220;marching order.&#8221; You can read this account in the book of Acts Chapter 9. Instead of going LEFT he went RIGHT.  <em><span class="ILfuVd yZ8quc">Who&#8217;d a thunk it?</span></em></p>
<p>Where are you in your career today? Is this a job (just to earn money) or is it your passion? Are you retired? Are your best years behind you?<em> Sez who?</em> I believe that as long as you breathe, God has something in store for you. You may be confined in a wheelchair, far from the madding crowd, barely able to focus, barely able to hear, but there&#8217;s a reason God is allowing you to be among us. You may think you live on your terms but actually, it is His. He&#8217;s going to squeeze out every toothpaste on that tube of life he gave you. The big question of course is, will you listen to His instructions? Will you follow the signs?</p>
<p>Look around. Are you doing what you love to do and do people appreciate it? If you do, <em><span class="ILfuVd yZ8quc">who&#8217;d a thunk it, </span></em><span class="ILfuVd yZ8quc">right?</span>. If not, what are you waiting for?</p>
<p>Of course, this is just me.<br />
<em>“For I know the plans that I have made for you, declares the Lord. Plans for welfare and not for calamity&#8230; to give you a future and a hope.”<strong> </strong></em><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">Beyond Travel</span></h1>
<p>It&#8217;s vacation time here in America.. I enjoy looking at travel pictures but you know what? I bet nothing can compare with a video I watched recently about the pictures taken by twin travelers way way past our atmosphere.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m talking about <a title="Voyager I and II" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-the-little-spacecraft-that-could/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Voyager 1 and 2</a>. These glamorized robotic space photographers were only supposed to transmit deep space images for 4 years but it&#8217;s already been 4 decades since its launch in 1977 and it&#8217;s still sending images. Pretty cool for a machine equipped with a computer with 2,400 times less memory than our cell phones. Traveling 38,000 miles an hour, they estimate it is currently midway between our sun and the next sun (Alpha Centauri) which is 4 light years away. Now that&#8217;s what you call traveling!</p>
<p>What do the closeup images from Voyager tell you? For me, it shows how insignificantly small we are and how magnificently awesome God is. I think this is how God is kinda showing off.</p>
<p>John the Baptist (remember him?) said &#8220;He (Jesus) must increase , but I must decrease.&#8221; I think we should do the same &#8212; recognize this disparity between who we are and who HE is.</p>
<p>Of course, some may disagree. Despite all those incredible lessons of creative genius in pictures, some believe these mind boggling celestial bodies are a consequence of an impersonal <em>Big Bang</em>. They laugh and say believers of an intelligent being that orchestrated this dance of gravitational pull between planets requires a lot of faith. But the evidence from my neck of the woods tells me these scoffers may be the ones brainwashed in their brand of faith. In fact, it may not even be FAITH but a simple case of DENIAL. What do you think?</p>
<p>But you know what&#8217;s even more amazing than all those pictures? It&#8217;s realizing all of that was made for you and me. Makes you feel special doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Of course, this is just me.</p>
<p><em>“He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.”</em><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">One Chance</span></h1>
<p>&#8220;We all pray to the same God&#8221; &#8212; nice thought but is that true?</p>
<p>&#8220;All dogs go to heaven!&#8221; &#8212; another nice thought but is that true?</p>
<p>When people make these kinds of statements, do they really believe it? Or are they fishing for a cosigner to agree with them &#8230; as if adding to their number of &#8220;believers&#8221;  will turn the cosmic wheel of truth towards their reality? With all due respect, <em>TRUTH isn&#8217;t a popularity contest! </em></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you but I believe in an absolute truth. There is black. There is white. There may be 50 shades of gray but there is only one black. In music, the key of C is not C sharp or B. A tensile deviation from the standard strings of a piano will produce an awful chord.</p>
<p>A dear friend of mine is dying of brain cancer. Her memory is almost gone. When she still had her facilities, I tried to explain that Jesus Christ died for her and it wasn&#8217;t how good she was but her faith that was the measure of her salvation. But she dismissed my message and said she already knew all about it. She said she grew up in church. Knowing her, I knew her understanding was different from mine. Anyone can proclaim they are Christians but their actions speak louder than words. I&#8217;m not a better person nor am I that knowledgeable. All I wanted was to compare notes. I only wanted to share. But she had her own ideas. A fireman cannot force you to leave a burning building.</p>
<p>For all you know, she genuinely had faith. Problem solved! Yet I wish I had persisted because now it&#8217;s too late. Her brain&#8217;s gone.</p>
<p>Do we all pray to the same God? Do all dogs go to heaven? For my friend&#8217;s sake, I sure hope so because we only have one chance in life.</p>
<p>Of course this is just me.</p>
<p><em>And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment,</em><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">&#8212; Hebrews 9:27</span></p>

<em>Sent by Art of Sierra Madre, CA</em></p>
<p>Tariff Wars with China cover the news. Here&#8217;s a video explaining how scamming is done in China. Of course not all Chinese are scammers but sadly it is an essential part of the Chinese culture. If you&#8217;ve purchased shoddy stuff from Ebay, you know what I&#8217;m talking about. I know a personal friend who moved her whole family to China to train the locals. There was a contract for her to teach for several years but as soon as they learned how to do things, they let her go. This video is pretty long.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">We Remember Joe</span></h1>
<p>It&#8217;s been a very long week. I&#8217;m so tired and I have yet so much to do for my loyal clients. Love you guys. Tired but I&#8217;m happy.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s almost midnight (the time I should launch this email) and I have yet to put my thoughts together. I want to honor some people today. Here goes.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The enemy was in Joe&#8217;s sight. Hunched down to avoid detection, his disheveled foe is a trigger away from death. The man tinkers with his pouch for something. And then he freezes &#8230; as if he is suddenly aware of Joe&#8217;s presence. He turns around. Their eyes meet. Time stands still.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Since he was a kid, Joe watched action-packed movies about war. His parents bought him plastic soldiers that he would position in different parts of his backyard mountain. Then he would use his BB rifle and shoot each soldier down. He had guns of different shapes and colors and bullets made of sponges and plastic balls. His favorite cloth pattern? Camouflage. His favorite footwear? Army boots. Favorite haircut? Buzz. When he got older he would join his Dad to campfires in the wilderness and hunt deer. When they finally gunned one down, his Dad showed him how to carve the venison to preserve the trophy skin back to Mom in the city. By all accounts, little Joe was preparing for a career in the military.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Those days of pretend are over. Tucked in the shadows of the bushes in the evening forest, Joe now holds a stranger&#8217;s destiny in his hands. Does he pull the trigger? Does he grant him life? <em>&#8220;Don&#8217;t do it. Don&#8217;t reach for your gun,&#8221;</em> Joe pleads under his breath. But his foe instinctively pulls out the pistol from his pouch. Joe has no choice. A single shot blasts in the darkness. A body drops to the ground. Silence. Joe weeps for a life he has stolen. He steps out of his cover to look at his fallen adversary. Another shot rings out. Joe&#8217;s knees buckle. His lips kiss the dirt. His vision slowly fades. There is no pain only blood. And then there is darkness.</span></p>
<p>How many Joes have left us too soon?  How many parents will never know the story of their lost sons and daughters? An idealistic slogan labeled World War I as the &#8220;war that would end all wars&#8221; but no wishing star could grant this. As long as there are differences in the details of achieving happiness, fulfillment, and fairness, we will depend on our children to defend our freedom &#8230; knowing full well that they will be facing other children on the opposite side.</p>
<p><em><span id="en-NIV-16081" class="Ps-120-6 text">&#8220;Too long have I lived</span><span class="indent-1"><span class="indent-1-breaks"> </span><span class="Ps-120-6 text">among those who hate peace.</span></span><span id="en-NIV-16082" class="Ps-120-7 text"><sup> </sup>I am for peace;</span><span class="indent-1"><span class="indent-1-breaks"> </span><span class="Ps-120-7 text">but when I speak, they are for war.&#8221;</span></span></em><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">&#8212; Psalm 120: 6-7</span></p>
<p>Monday is Memorial Day where we in America, honor our deployed soldiers who didn&#8217;t make it back home. Thank God for all the Joes who defended our Land of the Free. Thank you, thank you, thank you.</p>
<p>TGIF people!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: xx-large;">8 Hours of Health Care Hell</span></h1>
<p>Last Saturday, Martha, an elderly friend of mine, fell down a steep staircase. She fractured a few ribs and I believe a crack on her skull. A split second imbalance caused all of that grief.</p>
<p>Yesterday afternoon I was feeling weird. Either it was a strained muscle on my left chest or it was some heart palpitation. Remembering Martha and the outcome of a wrong decision, I wondered if I should go to the ER just in case. With much hesitation, I dragged myself to the ER and that was the start of an 8 hour ordeal.</p>
<p>Dr. H, came in smiling. He spoke softly and walked softly. Reminded me of a sinister James Bond Villain: <strong>&#8220;Good afternoon, Mr. Bond. How are you feeling? Palpitations? Hmmm &#8230; do you have trouble breathing? Does your chest feel heavy? Have you had an EKG? Hmmm &#8230; you&#8217;ll <em>lov</em>e my EKG,&#8221; </strong>he insisted with a smile.</p>
<p>All they did was give me tests: checked my blood pressure, took blood samples, took an x-ray &#8230; but strangely, they did not give me any kind of medication. Not even water.</p>
<p>But I saw through their dastardly grin. I know what they were really thinking: <strong>&#8220;How much money can we squeeze out of this poor unfortunate soul?&#8221;  </strong></p>
<p>I was there since about 4pm. At about 6pm, Dr, H comes back in. <strong>&#8220;Your tests seem to be pretty normal &#8230; except for your blood pressure!&#8221; </strong>(Thunder clapping in the distance.)</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Great! So &#8230; can I go now?&#8221;</strong> I asked.</p>
<p>Dr, H just looked at me intently &#8230; sizing me up from head to toe. Searching for a flaw &#8230; a face twitch or a stammer. <strong>&#8220;Actually,&#8221; </strong>he said,<strong> &#8220;I want to have you stay overnight and observe your condition.&#8221;</strong> (Thunder clapping in the distance.)</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;What?!?! No way! I have too much to do.&#8221;</strong> I shrieked.<strong> &#8220;Not even for your famous EKG!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Dr. H just looked at me like a raptor about to snap my heart out. He told me to wait in the ER. And so I did. During my &#8220;imprisonment&#8221; he would come by but he would never say anything to me. Deliberately avoiding eye contact. I think he was secretly observing me &#8212; waiting for me to <strong>fall off my chair</strong>! But I didn&#8217;t. At 1:30 they decided to release me from confinement. Actually, I was having too much fun joking with the other patients &#8212; their plan backfired. So $155 and 8 hours later, I finally made it back home.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I am so tired and sleepy. I only had about 4 hours sleep last night. I can&#8217;t go on writing. I certainly don&#8217;t want to meet Dr, H again. Good night.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Do you want to speak to the doctor in charge or the nurse that knows what&#8217;s going on? </em><br />

<p>A woman went to the emergency room, where she was seen by a young new doctor. After about 3 minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant. She burst out of the room and ran down the corridor screaming.</p>

<p>An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was. After listening to her story, he calmed her down and sat her in another room. Then, the doctor marched down the hallway to the first doctor&#8217;s room.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;What the hell&#8217;s wrong with you?&#8221; </strong>he demanded. <strong>&#8220;This woman is 68 years old, she has two grown children and several grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?!!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>The new doctor continued to write on his clipboard and without looking up said, &#8230;<strong>&#8220;Does she still have the hiccups?</strong></p>

<p>If you&#8217;ve got a cat, have you tried this? Does it really scare them? Poor kitty. I asked my son about it and he said the video&#8217;s old and that he would never traumatize his cat like that. What do you think?</p>
