Akita International University Gospel Choir Concert Summer, 2006 Lyrics: There is no trial that He can't bring me through There is no tunnel that He can't bring light to Though I feel like giving up, in Christ I shall remain Because of my faith in God, my joy shall remain Trials worketh patience and patience worketh hope In spite of my situation, I won't let go! There is no problem I know that God can't solve When I get into it, He was already involved Though I feel like giving up, in Christ I shall remain Because of my faith in God, my joy shall remain Trials worketh patience and patience worketh hope In spite of my situation, I won't let go!

I did not have anything important to talk about so i posted a video of me not long ago singing a song that talks about being encouraged. I know my voice sounds bad so its ok to laugh. Scriptures for Encouragement "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD." Psalm 27:14 "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." Psalm 37:7 Oh I forgot I wrote this poem called"Encouragement" so I'll share that too. Encouragement Stand strong this day on the rock and let not your tears blind you. Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed in us. The Lord is our strength and our shield. He will restore the joy of your salvation. Remember to set your eyes not on worldly things but unto heaven. The Lord will deliver you out of your trouble and restore you with happiness. Raise your head and dry those tears for your help cometh from the Lord who carries you through the muck and the mire. If God delivered Daniel from the lion's den, then he can do the same for you in your time of trouble. Be encouraged and this trial like many others will soon pass away.

This is a video that I made as a dedication to Michael Jackson from me on behalf of the fans. It is a reminder that good will always triumph over evil and that he has endured so much and still continues to walk with his head held high. As a Michael Jackson fan watching this kind of courage and resiliance, it has given me the inspiration to never give up. He's truly a phenomenal man whom I've always loved and admired. www.steady-laughing.com

Leon Frank Czolgosz was a self proclaimed anarchist and assassin of U.S. President William McKinley. As a young man, Leon Czolgosz (1873-1901) worked in a wire mill in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a good employee, retaining his job even through an economic depression. In 1898, after witnessing a series of strikes (many ending in police confrontation), Czolgosz returned home, where he was constantly at odds with his family's Roman Catholic beliefs and with his stepmother. He became a recluse, and spent much of his time alone, reading socialist and anarchist newspapers. He was very affected by hearing a speech of Emma Goldman, and sought her out in New York City to discuss political matters. She later wrote a piece sympathetic to Czolgosz's assassination of McKinley, though not quite in favor of the act. However, Czolgosz, as far as is known, failed to be accepted into any anarchist group. Czolgosz's experiences had convinced him there was a great injustice in American society, an inequity which allowed the wealthy to enrich themselves by exploiting the poor. He concluded the reason for this was the structure of government itself. Then on July 29, 1900, King Umberto I was assassinated by avowed anarchist Gaetano Bresci. Bresci told the press he had to take matters into his own hands for the sake of the common man. The assassination sent shockwaves through the American anarchist movement. In Bresci, Czolgosz found his hero: a man who had the courage to sacrifice himself for the cause. On August 31, 1901 he moved to Buffalo, New York and rented a room near the site of the Pan-American Exposition. On September 6, Czolgosz went to the exposition with a pistol in his hand, concealed in a handkerchief. McKinley had been standing in a receiving line at the Temple of Music greeting the public for several minutes when Czolgosz reached the front of the line and shot him twice at point-blank range. The time was 4:07 p.m. McKinley would die from his wounds on September 14. Czolgosz was convicted and sentenced to death on September 23, in a trial that lasted 8 hours and 26 minutes from jury selection to verdict. Czolgosz was found guilty and executed by electrocution, by three jolts at 1700 volts each, on October 29, 1901, at Auburn prison in Auburn, New York. His last words were "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people - the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime." As the prison guards strapped him into the chair, however, he did say through clenched teeth, "I am sorry I could not see my father." Sulfuric acid was thrown in his coffin so his body would completely dissolve within 24 hours. His letters and clothes were burned. The 1901 film used is a detailed reproduction of the execution of Leon Czołgosz faithfully carried out from the description of an eye witness. Czolgosz is executed with the fairly new invention of the electric chair in the prison of Auburn, New York. The keepers are seen taking Czolgosz from his cell to the death chamber, and shows State Electricians, Wardens and Doctors making a final test of the chair. Czolgosz is then brought in by the guard and is quickly strapped into the chair. The current is turned on at a signal from the Warden, and the assassin heaves heavily as though the straps would break. He drops prone after the current is turned off. The doctors examine the body and report to the Warden that he is dead, and he in turn officially announces the death to the witness. While the film is certainly an important historical document, revealing popular fascination with both the fact and the manner of Czolgosz's execution, it cannot be taken as a record of the actual execution.

The Reichstag fire was a pivotal event in the establishment of Nazi Germany. The fire began at 21:14 on the night of February 27, 1933, when a Berlin fire station received an alarm that the Reichstag building, the assembly location of the German Parliament, was ablaze. The fire seemed to have been started in several places, and by the time the police and firemen arrived a huge explosion had set the main Chamber of Deputies in flames. Looking for clues, the police quickly found Marinus van der Lubbe, shirtless, inside the building. Van der Lubbe was a Dutch insurrectionary council communist and unemployed bricklayer who had recently arrived in Germany. The party leaders were determined to demonstrate the Reichstag Fire was a deed of the Comintern, and in early March 1933, three men were arrested who were to play pivotal roles during the Leipzig Trial, known also as "Reichstag Fire Trial," namely three Bulgarians: Georgi Dimitrov, Vasil Tanev and Blagoi Popov. The Bulgarians were known to the Prussian police as senior Comintern operatives, but the police had no idea how senior they were: Dimitrov was head of all Comintern operations in Western Europe. May 10, 1933 - An event unseen since the Middle Ages occurs as German students from universities formerly regarded as among the finest in the world, gather in Berlin and other German cities to burn books with "unGerman" ideas. Books by Freud, Einstein, Thomas Mann, Jack London, H.G. Wells and many others go up in flames as they give the Nazi salute. In Berlin, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels gave a speech to the students, stating... "...The era of extreme Jewish intellectualism is now at an end. The breakthrough of the German revolution has again cleared the way on the German path...The future German man will not just be a man of books, but a man of character. It is to this end that we want to educate you. As a young person, to already have the courage to face the pitiless glare, to overcome the fear of death, and to regain respect for death - this is the task of this young generation. And thus you do well in this midnight hour to commit to the flames the evil spirit of the past. This is a strong, great and symbolic deed - a deed which should document the following for the world to know - Here the intellectual foundation of the November Republic is sinking to the ground, but from this wreckage the phoenix of a new spirit will triumphantly rise..."

The kitchen steps are a bit of a trial for poor old Mr Jack now that he's getting on in years. This evening (hence the blue colour!) he needs a few practice runs before he winds up the courage to launch.
