Do I get the shot H1N1 shot or not?

Ok, I really do not know what to do! I am not really worried about myself but I am super concerned about my kids. I really don’t know what to believe.

If you don't get the shot, what are the chances that you'll get sick? My kids always get a cold or the flu every winter. My daughter has Asthma and her colds can be really bad meaning an Asthma attack is on the way and here comes an Emergency Room visit. Of course my greatest fear is what if I do not get them the shot and they die? I know that is the worst case but hell I have to think about it. I know I could not live with that guilt.

If you do get the shot, will the vaccine be safe and effective? Ok, we are telling almost everybody to go get this shot. This is still a fairly new virus and we have not really researched this very long. What if this shot has some really bad side effects in the long run?

Swine flu, or H1N1, is already present in the area and probably will infect greater numbers of people as the weather turns cooler.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported last week that 8,843 people have been hospitalized nationwide by the disease. The number of U.S. deaths stands at 556, the CDC said.

The World Health Organization describes the H1N1 virus as the dominant flu strain in most parts of the world. And it has said that it produces a "mild illness" in most patients.

So are you going to get the shot for yourself and your kids?

Do you have a fake Pastor?

I know I may be walking on thin ice on this one but what the hell. I had a conversation last night over dinner with a family we use to go to church with. He is a Pastor and I like him and I think he is honest. However we talked about the bad Pastors and so I feel I should say how I feel about this matter. Don’t get me wrong. I am no saint and have no desire to become a Pastor however I do believe you should not play with God. Here are three things that might help you tell if your Pastor is suspect!

Beware when your pastor ...
1. Is overly concerned about remuneration and his own life style instead of his preaching.
Is your Pastor more concerned about feeding themselves instead of feeding their sheep? I know the church is to give the pastor a livable wage or salary, and they are to even give him "double honor" if he ministers well, and the pastor is to live of the gospel. But when the balance becomes too great towards "feathering his own nest" instead of tending to his charge, then the pastor is not what he is supposed to be.

Beware when your pastor ...
2. Drives away people instead of gathering them.
What is a bad sign is when the pastor delights or accepts driving people away when there is no need to do so. For example, the pastor is sarcastic or bitter or sharp with his words when he could have said the same thing in a different way and not offend. The offense must always be between the individual and God, not the pastor and the individual. The pastor shows them God's word and they may get offended or repent and follow God's will.

Beware when your pastor's ...
3. Leadership style is marked with cruelty and force.
"Force" here means excessive force. "Cruelty" means to break apart, to break down ones spirit. The idea is that the bad pastor is somebody who gets his will done no matter what. He is very forceful, and reserves all right for himself. Seldom is he ever wrong (in his own eyes), and even when he is wrong, he will ignore it and wants all others to ignore his errors, adhering absolute loyalty to his "always right" way.
