As all know, being found is "half" the battle in any venture. We think we have good to great Customer service, so I say yes! Now it remains, will enough folks see this City of Muncie Map and come in as a result of our being among the business card size ads on it.

So you tell me; please. Did they do a good job of making us stand out in a business card size?

Do we have the right information to entice you to want to "check us out" and come in or call? Or, maybe visit our web site?

I am enjoying being somewhat of a character of sorts to our Local Collage of Journalism at Ball State University who seem to think I have something unique to fill. I have been called three times now, and been asked if students could do some Video Projects for their class. Of course I said yes. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=4A1CD61EB9592B06

The link below, will take you to YouTube and two of the recent Videos taken by students for thier class; Memo to self, get the spelling on the sign corrected and do something to get the sign updated with the new web address to.

So you see; if you have God's Grace and Favor abounding toward you, you don't have to spend a lot on advertising in a big way. Just Trust in God to do what He alone knows we have need of and take care of our part to be co-workers together with His Holy Spirit in each of our Lives.

So now you have a little more knowledge about what is going on in Sow N Sews Custom Sewing and Army Navy Surplus of Muncie.

It makes one wonder; as I say I do sewing services for many different agencies and most all the folks I have met are decent, honest and our friends. Yet I have asked where does their loyalties lie; with the People and the Constitution? Or with the people appointed over them and laws they may be "ordered to carry out" against their neighbors?

It's a tough question and one that needs an answer for any population that is considering resisting the elected representitive government of any given place, in any state of this union.

If the Police, Sheriff, and other agencies are with the People and the Constitution? Then resistance is Not futile and we may effectively resist to the point the Out of Control government representitives surrender authority back to the People that empower that representitive government. If They don't surrender authority back to We the People; and we are at some point forced to Tack Back the Government of the People, by the People and for the People then we will need a Police Force in the State, County, and City levels of government that will in fact side with We the People.

It would be a serious mistake to try and take back our government without the support of the State Militia, State Police, County Sheriff, City Police, and township Marshals and of course thier associated Deputies and Reserves. Not to Mention the National Guard.

That would not a small undertaking; but one given the state of what is happening in our Country over Property Taxation, meaningful Job Loss and growing deficits, has become a real question that needs an answer.

I encourage all of you ever read this blog to ask a police officer you may meet or know about this concern; where would they stand if it was decided by a super majority that the Local or State Government was so out of control as to need to be recalled / removed; and due process broke down so completely as to be useless to try to utilize it any further.

Would they side with; We The People to take back our Government? Or would they side with bad orders given by appointed officals against the People (neighbors, friends and possibly family), to do what was unethical, immoral, and unjust, to the degree they would consider themselves just following orders; in similar way the average Germans tried to excuse themselves, in the part they played in the atrocities of WW II?

The Military's "Extreme Cold weather" Air valve Boot is a unique boot rated to well below minus 25 degrees below Zero, and a very durable boot that is coveted by those who have them and those who know someone who have them.

In recent years the supply of these boots is dwindled drastically; as the last year of manufacture was in the early 1980's and the new system to replace them has moved to a more Mukluk like boot system.

Not that long ago Retail prices on these boots could be found at the $25.00-50.00 level, now the ones inspected for quality and serviceability is hovering around $90.00 to $100.00 for either the Black Rubber or white Latex boots with the air valve.

My advise to those wanting these is this: if you find some in good to decent condition? Snap them up as an investment and or for your personal use if you have such a need. The price will not be going down any time soon; as the ones that are being found cheap, are badly handled, as in cracking, torn, or separating seams and maybe deteriorating liners. and while they can be repaired to an extent it is not a simple matter and if you can get New or Gently Used ones for $50.00 or less at a garage sale, flea market, or auction? Snap them up; look around and offer them up and double your money.

Remember; True Surplus is usually short lived available item(s) and is expected to be replaced by a newer more expensive alternative of newer materials and technologies. So this is an opportunity to buy low, sell high, on a short supply, but still high demand item.

There is no shortage of things for the Women and Girls at the shop now. We have a good selection of a variety of items from T-Shirts, to Hi-Top Sneakers. Bikini's to halter tops.

So we are listening to our client base, and are interested in your feedback.

If it were not for His Good Grace and Favor, we would have been allowed to fail so long ago. One thing I am especially sure of is, it is always about Jesus doing what He did so that we have the opportunities we do have to move toward Our Heavenly Father in Christ's Name and The Faith made possible by His sacrifice.

Yes we get up every day, Pray, Study the word, and go about our work as we should, and give thanks as we should; yet there is always more to remember and do, obediently in Faith Believing to receive; nothing lacking or doubting.

I have come to know, we can't depend on ourselves alone, and we truely do need God's intervention in our lives in the form of Grace Abounding and Favor being found among our friends, associates, and adversaries alike.

I have also come to realize how dangerous it is to have a government so out of control as to be reckless, careless, and harmful at such times as this when our National, State, and Local economy is in the grips of a serious Recession bordering on Depression. Out of control spend and tax polices have come home to roost in our area; and it is going to be the end of many things we have come to expect as usual and customary in our way of life and community. Things such as trash collection, services in Police, Sheriff, code enforcement, sanitary and parks. Yet even in the face of the worsening economic conditions the City, County, and State, are trying to conduct business as usual.

Maybe even aggravating the situation even more then normal. And definitely more then is required; as there is only so much anyone can squeeze out of a rock, turnip or any other form of existence. One thing I have noticed, is that there seems to be some autocratic nature to this whole process and procedure; as if driven forward by an unseen force.

Now as a student of the Word of God; I have read and do beleive that when God reveals that He Himself, is going to "Cause Something to Happen", that He will Cause that something to happen. In this case I am talking about the approaching "End Times" that so many, are so fearful of. Let's get this right; The Earth and The Heavens are going to be Renewed, as of by the Fire of Judgement.

Before that happens, many things are going to happen; not the least of which the will be seeing many upheavals throughout the world, and many disruptions will take place and Israel will rebuild the third temple. Not to mention a World War the likes of which Mankind has never seen in recorded history.

I say all that, to say this; if you are a Christian Business Man, and have the ability to get out of debt, DO SO RIGHT NOW. Don't put it off, get out of debt in any legal way you can, and stay out of debt to the best of your God Given Ability. Also, Make no NEW Agreements of and binding type or nature. Don't bind yourself or your loved ones with an Oath; Swear Not.

According to the word; there is going to be a very great upheaval and those that are free to go are going to go; they can escape the wrath that is to come. Yet the same word; also says, we can bind ourselves and are not "Free to Go", but the words of our own mouths. As Christian Business men, women, and Ministers of the Gospel of Christ Jesus, we were and are not to be overcome by being "encumbered" by the things of this world. Like Lot and His family; if we can't simply "Walk Away" from what ever we are in a given place for, we are too encumbered.

Get Liquid, in Gold, Silver, Precious Jewels, and some form of Cash/Debit Card that will give you some latitude to operate in. Insure your proof of Identity paperwork is in hand and have some for of redundancy or back ups in safe places; as on file at the County seat, Etc. And insure you have the vehicles full each night before lying down to sleep and meeting areas to meet family and secure friends if you get separated somehow, for some reason, any reason.

Be sure you are right with the Father, in and by the Faith that is in the Son, and be found not grieving the Holy Spirit of God indwelling you. Be obedient to the lead and teaching of the Holy Spirit in you, and others around you. Be sure you know how to "Prove" the spirit, which spirit the spirit is of. God doesn't contradict Himself or His word. Beware false, lying would be prophets, and Lying spirits using someone, anyone.

Be found doing what God's people do best; being Thankful to God, Praising and Worshiping Him in the Name of His Son, Our Lord God Almighty, Jesus the Christ!. Be found doing Good and doing it for the right reason. If you have not already done so? Get Red Cross Ready, You may be needed to show forth the Love of God, and being part of preparedness group already trained and able to respond is a very big plus. Convince your Fellowship, Church or bible study group to get Red Cross Ready. Engage in being pro-active in your community, be wise as serpents but harmless as doves.

And May or God and Father of Our Lord, Jesus Christ even; watch over each and every one of you, In Jesus Exceedingly Precious Name.

If you agree with me go do and spread the word!

We are facing a severely bad season in which we have little choice but to let some things go down for a short while; while we are waiting to recover from the effects of what we are going through for lack of sufficent business to do anything differently.

As many of you know, I do not encourage the use of Credit as routine thing; and I am afraid that even the use of telephone overhead at this time is more then we are able to handle; so if you try to reach us through our 765-281-8804 business line and can't or if I am not able to respond to email requests, it is because of our service being disrupted. We will through God's Grace, and Favor have our doors open and will be able to answer our home phone.

I may have to use the Public Library computers to post or retrieve email for a few weeks. But don't despair, we are still here and operating as best we can and are always happy to see our good friends and neighbors frequent us as they have need. I know that our whole area of greater Delaware County and Muncie in particular is hurting; and we are simply doing what we need to do to stay available.

I thank each and every one of you and ask for your prayers for our Country, Our Leaders at all levels of Government and for our families and our little shop and our Ministry to be able to survive this recession and come out the other side positioned to prosper and be in health, even as our soul walks in the light of God's revealed truth.

May God Bless and keep you and yours and may we all continually encourage, edify, and build each-other up in the faith of the Lord our God ,Christ Jesus.
