New Free Speech Platform Now Available to all - called Re: Public

 Hello Patriots,

As you all know, we are less than a month away from one of the most important elections this country has ever seen. This day in November could very well go down as the day that America was won or lost.



It is critical as we approach the election and even more so beyond, that the truth be shared for all to see and hear. There is so much information out there and technology has developed to a point that's its sometimes very hard to determine what is real and what is not.


One of the biggest questions you ask is, who's truth are you referring too? And, are the things we are seeing and hearing in the mainstream media actually what is truly happening.

Even more so, what is really happening out there that they are distracting us from?


Here's the good news and where we need your help

Re:Public the platform has just been released by Colonel Douglas MacGregor and a team of true Patriots that want to restore America and the FREE SPEECH we were founded on, 

We are looking for everyday American Citizens who love their country to join the team of "citizen journalists" to help share the happenings and truths for your town, city or state. We need eyes and ears on the ground to help Americans get the real story.

No special talents are needed, just an internet connection and your willingness to report the truth as you see it on a platform that doesn't discriminate, eliminate or try to cancel our voices completely.

Check out the video below to get a better feel for what Re: Public is and how you too can become a part of restoring our nation back to it's true greatness.



Thanks for watching and I urge you to join the movement and to share this with everyone you know.

The History of Motocross for Christ

 A Pennsylvania based ministry that "Connects Kids With Gods Love Through Motocross" 

www.motocross4christ.com

 By: Jim Bull

The original logo created in 2007

Have you ever spent a week with 100 other like minded individuals in the presence of  "Gods Love" while leaving behind the news, your cell phone and the generally hectic pace that life throughs at us while doing something you truly love doing?

I imagine its a feeling that can be found in many other places but certainly a feeling you will experience while attending a "Motocross for Christ Camp".

Oh what a  blessing that I have been fortunate enough to be a part of since almost the very beginning. 

I recently received a call from new Camp Director Scott Passerini asking me if I could put together a history of this wonderful camp that he and a Christ loving group of volunteers has been so greatly blessed with the task of pressing forward with.

The mission or vision has always been the same.

It was the summer of 2008 and I received a call from a gentleman asking me to come to a local motocross race track to check out this new ministry that he had started. We didn't know each other at the time and Steve as I'll call him here didn't have any inkling as to my beliefs, but he knew that I owned a local motocross racing publication and he was looking for some promotion. 

He was super excited about what he had going on and the track they were at was a client of mine so I was all in. What Steve didn't know was that I was a Jesus freak myself and was also super excited to learn about what he had going on. 

This was the second year of camp as I would later learn and Steve was a racer that had a calling to "connect kids with Gods love through motocross". That the year prior, he and another racer friend held their first camp in a back yard in Schuylkill county with seven kids in attendance and it was a big hit.

Back to year two, Steve and his wife had spent months contacting track owners, sponsors, trainers and potential attendees. When I arrived at camp it was day three of three and things were in full swing. If I remember correctly there were around 30 kids in attendance plus volunteers and trainers. The riders were broken down by age and skill level and three groups were created to rotate through different stations of Faith based learning and riding instruction. The groups were labeled, Faith, Hope and Love.

This Photo is from year five at Wicomico Motocross Park in Southern MD.

Needless to say, I fell in love with what was going on that day and I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Steve and I had many conversations in the coming months and I did my best to help the cause. We turned on the promotion machine and by the following year with the help of so many individual volunteers, dealers and sponsors we found ourselves at a track in Breezewood, Pa and we had over 100 kids attend a single three day camp. 

Wow and thank you Lord was about all we could say. God was at work but everyone realized that 100 was too many to manage for one camp.

Meanwhile, Steve was doing trackside ministry at the races and he started recruiting other individuals that were doing smaller ministries at different tracks and it wasn't long before there were quite a few tracks tied into the Motocross for Christ banner and doing Saturday and Sunday ministries at local tracks. No rider training was provided but God surely was at work. 

Year four saw the need to do two camps to handle the amount of interest the camp was receiving. It's ironic because in the beginning many track owners and trainers were reluctant to get involved, maybe because of their belief systems or possible schedule conflicts. Whatever the reason I don't think they were quite aware of how many individuals and families were looking for ways to not only feed their need to participate in a sport that they loved, but to feed their souls with Gods love.  

1000's of riders participate in Motocross racing each year in the PA region alone.

At this point in time the ministry was still very small but growing faster than the resources available. The two times a year camp concept was working but I remember a few camps at this point where Steve was calling and saying, we don't have enough money to cover costs. What are you going to do I'd ask and he'd say, I don't know but God does. All the time more and more people were getting involved and guess what. God took care of the bills - Amen. 

Then I remember one early Saturday morning while still laying in bed, my cell phone rang. My wife and I were awake so I looked at the phone and saw it was Steve's wife calling (his name wasn't really Steve and we are getting to that part). I thought it odd she would be calling so early on a Saturday morning.

She said, Jim I don't know how to tell you this but Steve is missing, he's slid back into his addiction again and he took some money from the ministry account and was last seen at a local bar. It was another "wow" moment for me as I guess you can imagine. My first response was that I didn't know he had a past history and what do you mean by "again"? Well it turns out that this was the second time this had happened since camps had started but she was really worried this time. 


Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

So please remember Paul's words to the Romans from above as we continue. I myself had a long history of addiction and jail time in my past and had given my testimony many times at camp. It was beginning to become clear why Steve would never give his. I had asked him many times to but he always said he was just too busy running camp and wanted to give others a chance to speak. 

Eventually he surfaced and tried to convince us all that it was just a weekend binge, something that he had to get out of his system and that he would be fine moving forward. A group of us spent the next year trying to work through that and finally came to the conclusion that he had to get some professional help before continuing to be a part of the ministry. Again, Please remember the below:


So at that point he did turn the ministry over to a family from the Bucks county area and got enrolled in a program to fight his struggles with drugs. Unfortunately the last I heard, he had been in and out of that program and neither I or the ministry have not heard from him since. I believe he is still local so please keep him in your prayers, pray that he has beat his demons from the past and that he is in a drug free and loving relationship with Jesus Christ.

So the good that came from above was that camps continued on, please remember that God is always faithful. A whole new group of families and volunteers that had been attending and working within the camps were ready to take it to the next stage of life. The two camps a year format continued but they were combined back to back over a one week time period to ease with volunteer demands. So many for so long have used there time off from work and their family vacation time to pull off these camps. Each and every one of you are awesome and I'm sure greatly favored by God. Thank you so much for all you've given to all from the very beginning. There are way to many names to name and mostly because I could never remember or even know them all.



One of the downsides obviously first and foremost was Steve's downfall but also many of the original volunteers did not stay involved. In my eye another huge loss was the network of local chaplains at the tracks kind of dissolved, There are at least two warriors out there still fighting the fight that I know of, but there were many who stopped for one reason or another and in my eye that's just Satan getting another foothold on another hill that we had previously won.

Don't lose hope however because there is always tomorrow and remember - God is faithful

It wasn't long after this that because of the efforts of the new group of directors, volunteers and sponsors and of course "Gods Dive Intervention" that camps were back moving full speed ahead. Please take a few minutes out of your time to get a feeling for what Motocross for Christ Camps are all about by watching the video linked below and please watch to the end to get the full feeling. 


Click Here For Video From Camp



The video above was from a camp at Miles Mountain Motocross in 2016. I believe it was the first time that any Baptisms had taken place at a camp and there were eight that year. Since then many more have not only learned more about Jesus and developed their riding skills, but many have found salvation with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Its not only the campers that we've reached, its their parents, the volunteers, the track owners, the sponsors and many trainers as well. God has greatly moved mountains to keep this all together.

Fast forward a few years and Covid obviously hit. Even through all its ups and downs I believe that 2019 was the only year since the beginning that camps didn't take place.  At this point however the current director group was thinking about an exit plan, about who could take over the reins and once again take this fully blessed ministry to its next level. Enter Scott Passerini and BC Motocross.

Scott and his family and friends had been attending camp for a few years and had also been doing their own one day camps at his property where kids would show up on a Saturday, get some Jesus and then go ride dirt bikes. 


Scott is pictured here with a group of kids at a camp at Pagoda MC

He and Jason, the now previous camp director began talks and in the spring of 2020 Scott and the team agreed to carry the torch so to speak. I know their first camps were held at Pagoda MC near Reading and then on to Doublin Gap MX near Shippensburg, Pa and although I wasn't in attendance, I hear it was a great success. You can go to their website linked at the top of the story and catch another great video that covers what a Motocross for Christ Camp looks like today..

Hence, back to the beginning of our story today. Scott called and said hey, I've only been a part of this for a few years and I'd really like to know the history. Again, I can say that I am one Blessed man because I've been apart of just about every one them. Come to think probably the first camp and the last two camps might be the only I didn't attend. Many were only one day excursions but even that is a treat. 

I know the team is currently making plans for the 2024 camp dates and location. I also know that they have their annual fundraiser coming up at the end of February. If you are looking for a worthy cause to give, please see the ink below for tickets or just to make a donation for this years camps.:

Motocross for Christ continues to thrive through its changes over the years and we pray that the new group of directors and volunteers have the very best success. Its the way God works, he sends a team to sow and reap a new team who sows and reaps a new team and the cycle continues. 

Remember Jesus said in John 8:12

"I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will not walk in darkness" 
but will have the light of life"



Thanks to all for following our history here today. If you have been a part of camp in any way we thank you and if you would like to be a part of camp moving forward, please reach out to us.

Starting the New Year Right

 Happy New Year Everyone, I pray that you all have the most prosperous of times ahead.

With that comes the thoughts of, what will this new year bring? For many its a time to set goals and make those New Years resolutions that everyone talks about all the time.


How about you, are you looking for a new beginning as this 2024 year rolls around? Are you a goal setter or a resolution maker? 

Myself, I am a business owner, so I spend the last weeks of the year, planning and setting business goals so the new year can be a successful one. Unfortunately many times I forget about what's really important to me and the sheer fact that God already has my road map laid out if I'm willing to follow his will.


So this year I've decided too lean more on Gods understanding of success than my own. My goal or resolution is to seek scripture first when it comes time to act or make decisions about things. Whether it be personal or for business I need to remember that God's understanding and wisdom is way superior to mine.

Below in no particular order find 25 scriptures that you can go to or meditate on that the Bible declares as New Beginnings or how to achieve a fresh start in your life:

25 Encouraging Bible Scriptures on Starting Over sourced from: Connect Us

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

 1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

 Ephesians 2:8

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.

“All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.”

Joshua 1:9

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

 Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

 Psalm 30:5

For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.

Revelation 21:4

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.

 Romans 3:23

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

 Romans 6:12

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.

So my prayer for all of you is that you first look to God when making any plans, whether it be at the turn of the New Year or the minute your feet hit the ground in the morning. 

I know that's my resolution for 2024.

Are You Looking for a Miracle This Christmas Season?

Chaplains Corner - By: Jim Bull

I don’t know about you, but many times I find myself looking for that “massive miracle” that is going to change my life forever. I think that no matter what your heavenly beliefs are that most people are always looking for the next big thing, especially this time of the year. 

Whether it’s a job or relationship change, some kind of fortune that is going to fall into your life and then there is the most popular, if only I could hit the lottery !!  

Even as believers in Christ and in knowing the miracles that God has granted over the years, aren’t we always hoping and praying for God to intervene and just fix everything in our lives?


Let’s look at just a few of Gods Miracles:

 

Matthew 9  (NIV) - Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man

9:1 Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” And the man was healed. 

Matthew 14:13-21 (NIV) - Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

 Acts 2: 24 - How About the Big One

But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. (speaking of Jesus)


Here’s my challenge to you this coming year: 

How about instead of looking for the huge miracle in our lives, we become thankful every day for the “baby miracles” in our lives. Like the fact that we wake each morning, or that we have food to eat in a world that’s starving or that God protects our friends and families each time they walk out that door. 

I know they are easy to take for granted, but I urge you to look for the “baby miracles” that happen to you constantly as you go through life and to be thankful to the Lord above for making them happen.

The Best Is Yet To Come...

That's what I believe, how about you. 


I know with the current culture in our country and around the world, that can sometimes be hard to fathom, but just like the image above, it all comes down to what your concentrating on. Notice how the branches that are right in front of you are crystal clear but the moon in the background is not in focus.


 Does life ever seem that way to you too?             


Right now we look around and the prices of everything are through the roof, every time you turn on the news theirs nothing but gloom and doom and if you don't fit in with the latest trend there's something wrong with you.




I'd ask you not to believe any of it. Yes, its true that we can't change what others will do or how our government tries to manipulate everything around us. What we can do however is control what we are focusing on.

Try to see the branches that are out in front of you and not the moon that's hiding in the background. I'd be willing to bet that if you look to the future and what you want out of life that the outside forces will have no control over you and that you'll say hey: 

The best is yet to come....

How to turn $30,000 into $100,000 in 10 years by Investing in Real Estate.

 

Is it Wise to Invest in Real Estate in today’s HOT MARKET?

FREE REPORT

How to turn $30,000 into $100,000 in 10 years by

Investing in Real Estate.




Myth:            Cap Rates determine values in investment real estate.

Question:     Do you mean todays cap rate, or the cap rate 10 years from now?

Answer:        The goal is to get started in investment real estate to realize big                                          returns over time.

Yes, even though today’s prices do not seem like it’s the right time to buy, my years of real estate experience have showed me two things…

 

1. Prices do not ever go down; they have stabilized but never drop.

2.  You cannot find a safer or better return for your money than real estate.

 

Data shows that home prices over the last 25 years have increased on average 5%

per year and more in recent years.

 

The average price of a home in the United States 50 years ago was $24,000 and today it is $278,000 nationally and $240,000 in Lancaster county.

 

Average rental income on a two-bedroom unit in Lancaster: $1091 per month.

 

What looks like a low return today can turn into a huge profit in just 10 years.

 

If you are you looking for a safe way to invest your money,

then please see the examples below:


Two-bedroom house on the market for $90,000 with a rental income of $750 month.

 

At first glance this may not seem like a great investment offering only a 6% cap rate, but after a closer look over a 10-year return, things may look different.

Cost to purchase:

Home Price:                                  $89995.00

25 % down payment:                    $22500.00

Closing Cost (approximate):        $  5000.00

 

20-year mortgage at 4% interest for 20 year term:              $409.00 per month

20-year mortgage at 3% interest for 20 year term:              $375.00 per month

(Lets be conservative and use the 4% interest rate):

 

Cost to own:

 

RE taxes                                      $2313.00 per year             $193.00 per month

Property Insurance (est)              $  650.00 per year             $  60.00 per month

Management fee 8%                   $  720.00 per year             $  60.00 per month

 

Tenant pays $750.00 per month rent and all utilities – lease ends 5/2021. Current rent is under market value.

Summary:

Monthly Income from tenant:                                                    $750.00 per month

Monthly cost to own:                                                                   $722.00 per month

Positive cash flow:         $336.00 per year or                          $  28.00 per month

 

At first glance this deal really makes no sense and this is why most never realize the benefit of owning investment real estate – but please read on.


Here is why this property is a great deal – even with only a $28.00 per month positive cash flow in its first year.

 

There are many factors that can get overlooked by even the most seasoned investor.

As we mentioned earlier, the average rental income for a two-bedroom unit in Lancaster county is $1091.00 per month.

Remember also that home prices increase on average 5% or more per year.

Taking those two factors into consideration – lets take a look at a 10 year plan for owning this property with a current $28.00 per month positive cash flow and how you can turn your $30,000 into $100,000 profit owning just one property.

Image if you could do this just once every year for the next 10 or even 20 years.

                                                                                                                                              


Let us first look at conservative rent increases over the next 10 years.

 

Current year 1                     $750 x 12 = $9000.00    or           $28 x 12 = $336.00

Year 2                                    $850 x 12 = $10200.00     or        $128 x 12 = $1536.00

Year 3                                    $900 x 12 = $10800.00     or        $178 x 12 = $2136.00

Year 4                                    $925 x 12 = $11100.00     or        $203 x 12 = $2436.00

Year 5                                    $950 x 12 = $11400.00     or        $228 x 12 = $2736.00

Year 6                                    $975 x 12 = $11700.00     or        $253 x 12 = $3036.00

Year 7                                    $1000 x 12 = $12000.00  or        $278 x 12 = $3336.00

Year 8                                    $1025 x 12 = $12300.00  or        $303 x 12 = $3636.00

Year 9                                    $1050 x 12 = $12600.00  or        $328 x 12 = $3936.00

Year 10                                  $1100 x 12 = $13200.00  or        $378 x 12 = $4536.00

 

Total positive cash flow over 10 years while your tenant pays the bills:        $27660.00

Granted some costs will increase slightly and you may incur some maintenance along the way but at nowhere near the rate of rent increases.

Plus, you will realize the appreciation of the home and profits from the sale – see more below:


 

Current Home Value:                                                                   $90,000.00

We will look at a conservative 5% a year increase in value, the average for our nation:

2020                                                                                                  $90,000.00

2021 plus $4500                                                                            $94,500.00

2022 plus $4725                                                                            $99,225.00

2023 plus $4961                                                                            $104,186.00

2024 plus $5209                                                                            $109,395.00

2025 plus $5469                                                                            $114,864.00

2026 plus $5743                                                                            $120,607.00

2027 plus $6030                                                                            $126,637.00

2028 plus $6331                                                                            $132,968.00

2029 plus $6648                                                                            $139,616.00

2030 plus $6980                                                                            $146,596.00

 

Mortgage payoff in 2030 if you only pay the original mortgage payment of

$409.00 per month = $43,094.00

Let’s now look at the facts

 

Original investment                                                                         $30,000.00

Positive cash flow over 10 years                                                     $27,660.00

Equity in home after selling in 2030: $146,596 - $43,094 =           $103,502.00

This assuming a very conservative increase in value and a still under market monthly rent.

Versus earning 1-2 % bank interest on your original $30,000 might equal $6000 total return.

**Your actual results may vary and are not guaranteed.

How Does Exercise and Nutrition Affect Our Immune Systems

In these ever changing times our lives are being turned upside down with the goal of not infecting  the masses with the dreaded CoVid-19 infection.  We know so little about this new flu or virus and information and guidelines are changing daily on what we are required to do to fight the battle. It can sometimes be overwhelming at the least.



One thing I do believe however is that the healthier we are, the better chances we have at fighting whatever new virus may come down the road. Since we are all on a "stay at home order' it was impossible for me to go out and interview any professionals on the subject.

So i did the next best thing and looked to the internet to try and learn some things. My disclaimer here is that I am not a health professional so please do your own research. I've listed all the sources for the below information and its up to you to decide whether its good advice or not.

I can tell you though, that since recently embarking on my own health improvement adventure that I feel better, have more energy and am sick less than I was just three short years ago.





So I went online and searched - Does exercise and nutrition improve our immune system which helps fight off sickness and disease. Below is what I found:


Does exercise help or hinder our bodies’ ability to fight off infections?

The latest science suggests that being fit boosts our immune systems, and that even a single workout can amplify and improve our ability to fight off germs.  March 4, 2020  www.NYtimes.com


Does exercise help your immune system?

Lifestyle changes like exercise and a healthy diet bump up your levels of IgA, a protein in your immune system that fights infections. It helps keep threats out of your body -- and zaps any that do get in.   April 16, 2020  www.webmd.com

What if I can't go to the gym?

Being in isolation without access to gyms and sports clubs should not mean people stop exercising, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Bath. Keeping up regular, daily exercise at a time when much of the world is going into isolation will play an important role in helping to maintain a healthy immune system. March 31, 2020   www.sciencedaily.com

What about my diet?

Good nutrition is essential to a strong immune system, which may offer protection from seasonal illness and other health problems. ... Vitamin A helps regulate the immune system and protect against infections by keeping skin and tissues in the mouth, stomach, intestines, and respiratory system healthy.  Dec 9, 2019  www.eatright.org

How can Protein benefit my body?

Protein is an important resource for enhancing immunity because it helps form the cells that operate the immune system. “The amino acids that are found in protein form the building blocks of all the body's cells – including the cells that power your immune system. Dec 1, 2017   www.biprousa.com

Healthy ways to strengthen your immune system:

Your first line of defense is to choose a healthy lifestyle. Following general good-health guidelines is the single best step you can take toward naturally keeping your immune system strong and healthy. Every part of your body, including your immune system, functions better when protected from environmental assaults and bolstered by healthy-living strategies such as these:

Exercise regularly.
Maintain a healthy weight.
If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.

Recap

I know, you're saying enough already, I get the point. Let's face it, there are many things we can do to help stop the spread of this life threatening disease such as following the Presidents health guidelines on social distancing and hygiene. 

But taking the steps above and taking care of your body will not only help you get through this crisis but will prepare you for any more that come. Take it from a 50 plus year old baby boomer that's experienced a total revitalization in life. Just by loosing some weight and staying fit, you can get a new lease on life. 

If you don't already, now is the perfect time to start exercising and eating right. If you don't know where to start or need some help let me know.  I have access to a great plan for nutrition and I know some of the best trainers in the business.
