Supplemental Nutrition Assistance

Program - SNAP

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

(SNAP) helps low-income people and families buy the

food they need for good health. You can apply for

benefits by completing an application form. Benefits are

provided on the Link Card - an electronic card that is

accepted at most grocery stores. The Department of

Human Services administers this program in Illinois.

Who can receive these services?

Most households with low income can receive SNAP benefits.

The rules are complex, so visit their website for all of the

details not mentioned here. The most important factors, which

determine the amount and eligibility for SNAP benefits are:

income and expenses

the number of persons who live and eat together

Your application must be reviewed by DHS staff at the Family

Community Resource Center. If you are eligible, you will

receive a notice of your eligibility.

Income

A household might be eligible to receive SNAP benefits if

their monthly gross income does not exceed the gross income

limits shown below.

Household Size 1 2 3 4 5

Gross Monthly

Income Limit $1,174 $1,579 $1,984 $2,389 $2,794

Household Size 6 7 8 9 10

Gross Monthly

Income Limit $3,200 $3,605 $4,010 $4,416 $4,822

For households with more than 10 persons, add $406 for

each additional person.

Who can't receive SNAP Benefits?

Federal rules say some people can't receive SNAP benefits

regardless of the amount of their income. For example, most

boarders, certain non-citizens, most strikers, and people who

live in certain institutions.

How much does someone get each month?

The monthly SNAP Benefit amount depends on the number of

people in the "SNAP unit" and the monthly income available

to meet needs after the caseworker subtracts the allowable

deductions (such as rent and utilities) from gross income. The

chart below shows the highest monthly benefit by household

size. Depending on income, this amount could be less.

Unit Size 1 2 3 4 5

Maximum Benefit $200 $367 $526 $668 $793

Unit Size 6 7 8 9 10

Maximum Benefit $952 $1,052 $1,202 $1,352 $1,502

For households with more than 10 persons, add $150 for

each additional person.

“CATHOLIC RELIGION PURPOSELY

TAKES OUT ONE OF GOD'S TEN

COMMANDMENTS” By K. Lawton

They shall go to confusion together that are makers of

idols. (Is: 45:16)

Catholics love images

Catholics bow down in front of statues and pray. They love to

adore the host, which is a piece of bread. They light candles

and pray to the dead as if it does some good. They also adore

relics like a dead monk's head or a dead saint's finger. We also

know that they gaze upon other "sacred" objects and images…

like pictures of a Madonna and naked baby Messiah (salvation

was accomplished by The Man Christ Jesus). Finally, we

know that they think that there is some benefit of having "a

Jesus" hanging on the cross in their homes so they can

visualize the object of their worship. Perhaps they think the

crucifix is a good luck charm. They will vehemently tell you

that they don't worship the images but I've seen a picture of

the pope bowing down to a statue of Mary.

The Bible says don't even make images

Well, what does the Bible say about worshipping images? It

says much my friends but today we are looking specifically at

the Ten Commandments found in Exodus chapter 20. Most of

us know that the Ten Commandments prohibit even making

images. This poses a problem for the Catholic religion. How

does it get around this?

THE CATHOLIC RELIGION CHANGES THE TEN

COMMANDMENTS!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT.

PEOPLE KEEP MISSING IT.

Even their own perverted Bibles have something that

approximates the commandment to not make images, but since

their leaders tell them they are too spiritually dumb to

understand the Bible, they don't read it (or read it with muddy

eyeballs). Therefore, the wicked deceitfully change the Ten

Commandments and PUT THEM IN A BOOK

SOMEWHERE OR POST THEM ON A WALL AND TELL

THE PEOPLE TO MEMORIZE THEM. Of course, people are

going to trust their almighty priests to tell them the truth (bad

move).

How can they delete a commandment and still have ten?

Some man might ask me, "If the Catholic religion deletes a

commandment how do they still come up with Ten

Commandments?

Let's compare the Catholic ten commandments to the real ten

commandments from the good ol' King James Bible, that pillar

of doctrinal truth (God loves the truth, you know). The

following list on the Catholic side is taken from a textbook

used in a Catholic school. It is entitled, "Growing in Christian

Morality" by Julia Ahlers, Barbara Allaire, and Carl Koch,

page 40. It has both nihil obstat and imprimatur which are

official declarations that a book or pamphlet is free of Catholic

doctrinal error. The authors of this book know these

commandments are deceitful. Look at what they say: "These

are the Ten Commandments, from Exodus, chapter 20, in the

traditional way they are enumerated by Catholics." They did

NOT use what THEIR NRSV said, they "enumerated" them

the traditional way, enumerated (counted) by Catholics.

I'll let you take a look first (see if you can figure out what they

deleted) and then I'll explain...

The Catholic Deception* The King James Bible

First Commandment

I, the LORD, am your

God...You shall not have

other gods besides me.

First Commandment

I am the LORD thy

God...Thou shalt have no

other gods before me.

Second Commandment

You shall not take the name

of the LORD, your God, in

vain.

Second Commandment

Thou shalt not make unto

thee any graven image, or

any likeness above, or that is

in the earth beneath, or that

is in the water under the

earth. Thou shalt not bow

down thyself to them, nor

serve them.

Third Commandment

Remember to keep holy the

sabbath day.

Third Commandment

Thou shalt not take the name

of the LORD thy God in

vain.

Fourth Commandment

Honor your father and your

mother.

Fourth Commandment

Remember the sabbath day,

to keep it holy.

Fifth Commandment

You shall not kill.

Fifth Commandment

Honor thy father and thy

mother.

Sixth Commandment

You shall not commit

adultery.

Sixth Commandment

Thou shalt not kill.

Seventh Commandment

You shall not steal.

Seventh Commandment

Thou shalt not commit

adultery.

Eighth Commandment

You shall not bear false

witness against your

neighbor.

Eighth Commandment

Thou shalt not steal.

Ninth Commandment

You shall not covet your

neighbor's wife.

Ninth Commandment

Thou shalt not bear false

witness against thy

neighbour.

Tenth Commandment

You shall not covet your

neighbor's house.

Tenth Commandment

Thou shalt not covet.

Did you see it?

The Catholic religion deletes the second commandment and

makes the 10th commandment into two. If you follow them all

the way down from the second commandment, you'll see the

Catholic religion is always one commandment ahead of the

King James. Finally, at the tenth commandment they break it

into two and make it the 9th and 10th commandments. What

deception! What deceit! What guile! I tell no lies here--just get

out the Bible and compare. They even corrupt their own Bible

by deleting the second commandment! You see the reason the

Catholic religion killed people with Bibles is because their

deception is just too easy to see in light of God's word.

Just a little more mumbo-jumbo gumbo for your

consideration…

The authors of "Growing in Christian Morality" have used the

NRSV--and they've even corrupted the corrupted! Remember

what the authors said! “These are the Ten Commandments,

from Exodus, chapter 20, in the traditional way they are

enumerated by Catholics:”

Now what does the Word of God say about such actions?

(Rev.22:18-21) (v.18) For I testify unto every man that

heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man

shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the

plagues that are written in this book: (v.19) And if any man

shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy,

God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of

the holy city, and from the things which are written in this

book. (v.20) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I

come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (v.21) The

grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

I believe therefore I speak.

Always remember that there is peace in Jesus. May the Lord

God give skill and understanding to all who truly seek the

truth. In Jesus name, A-MEN

*WARNING!*

Bottle Bombs! Submitted by L. J. Williams

Due to the extreme probability of

harm, I am not listing all of the ingredients needed to

make this.

1. a plastic bottle with a cap.

2. a little Drano.

3. *********

4. *********

5. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!

6. No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes,

and other parts of your body.

People are finding these bombs in mailboxes and in their

yards, just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in

the trash. But, you'll never make it. It takes about 30 seconds

to blow after you move the thing. If you see a bottle in your

mailbox or yard with something in it, do not touch it. Call 911

and have them investigate it.

See "SNOPES" for more information.

The Benefits of Sunlight… By B. Jordan

Not getting enough direct sunlight on your skin can have a

harmful effect on your health and worsen feelings of

depression. According to one study in the American Journal

of Clinical Nutrition your chances of getting cancer could

increase by as much as 70% if you don‟t get enough direct

sunlight.

Below are some of the benefits of Sunlight:

Sunlight triggers the production of Serotonin. This

chemical, produced by the brain, controls sleep patterns, body temperature and your libido, elevates your mood and wards off depression.

Sunlight also triggers the body to make its own vitamin D, which is vital to your health. Vitamin D not only makes strong bones and healthy teeth, but it keeps the immune system working and helps your metabolism. Vitamin D also increases the amount of oxygen that your blood transports around your body. This will increase your energy, sharpen your mind and make you feel good. Is it any wonder that we feel better from exposure to sunlight? Without Vitamin D, we cannot absorb calcium or use it in building bones. In addition, it is harder for our bodies to absorb the vitamins we get in our diets or from supplements as we get older. Our diet will only give us a fourth of the vitamin D we need, we must get the rest from exposure to the sun. You do not have to stay in the sun for long periods to get the vitamin D you need – just 10-15 minutes of safe (before 10AM and after 4PM) sun exposure a day will do it if you are Caucasian or have a light complexion, 20-30 minutes for people with darker complexions.

The UV rays are the ones your body needs the most,

but you should only absorb them for 10 minutes.

Sunscreen prevents the UV rays from doing their job,

so don't use it during your beneficial sunlight

exposure. In the summertime try to avoid being out

in direct sunlight between the hours of 10AM and

4PM. The summer sun is too intense between those

times. If you need to stay out longer than 10 minutes

use a natural, chemical-free sunscreen with an SPF of

15 or higher.

If you are ill or disabled, open your blinds/shades and get some sunlight. You will feel better and your family and friends will notice it too. Take care, and go out and get some SUNSHINE!

Building Hope: Naturally & Spiritually

Attention!

Please let us, as never before, pay attention to the utmost, to care for our family's health and our own. If we do not take care of this body, which is the temple, believe you me, we will PAY DEARLY. As I keep telling you, it is what we eat and how we think that equals good health. Two many of us are being cut on with unnecessary surgeries on the knees, back, hips, to name a few. When most of the time, it is too much inflammation, which causes arthritis that ails us. Please, do not let the name 'doctor' replace the name 'JESUS' in your conversation. If we take very good care of our bodies, and our minds, it will take care of us. Be forgiving, practice gratitude at all times, count your blessings to boost your emotional health and reduce stress that can attack the immune system. Stress will age you faster, so be thankful for your health. When you are grateful for your life and for those who love you, you want to live life to the fullest. Always be willing to help others, especially those who are less fortunate than you are. As always, I encourage us to acknowledge our Creator & Savior first thing in the morning. Some people start their day in too much of a rush to leave home and some never make it back. Take time and give thanks. Here is some spiritual food to digest:

The whole duty of man [Ecc. 12:13-14]

What is sin [1JOHN 3:4]

Six things the LORD hates [Prov. 6:16-19] A good help for the Sabbath day is Isaiah 58:13-14

Congratulations to all the graduates this year. Peace to all my ISRAELITE Brothers & Sisters, as ever yours, Two-mama CALHOUN

The Importance of Life Insurance

“In those days was Hezekiah sick

unto death. And Isaiah the prophet

the son of Amoz came unto him,

and said unto him, Thus saith the

LORD, Set thine house in order: for

thou shalt die, and not live.” Isaiah

38:1

Fortunately, for Hezekiah and his family, he was forewarned

of his coming death.

We today are not as fortunate, that‟s why it‟s important to

have our affairs in order.

“For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are

taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the

snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it

falleth suddenly upon them.” Ecclesiastes 9:12

Death never happens at an appropriate time, it‟s always

difficult when it arrives.

To help ease the sting of death, it‟s important to have our Life

Insurance Coverage up to date. Funeral arrangements‟ are

costly, and at the time of death, it is a bad time to realize that

you don‟t have the means to bury your loved one. Now you‟re

faced with having to borrow money from family and friends

who are in need of cash as you are. They have personal issues

at hand, that won‟t allow them to fit your lost into their

budget. Investing in Life Insurance eliminates this dilemma.

Be assured of this one thing, as we are born into this world, we

must die!

Let‟s all do ourselves a good deed and invest in a Life

Insurance Policy that will cover the cost of a decent burial for

ourselves, as well as our dependents. Then when death comes,

we can have one less difficult situation on our hands.

Sincerely,

The Bereavement Committee

An addendum by the Editor…

Below are a few Insurance Companies that you can

inquire about obtaining Life Insurance, but it is

always good to call an Insurance agent to get the best

insurance for your needs and affordability.

It is also a good idea to have an advance health care directive

and a health care agent who will handle your affairs if you

cannot during an illness or accident.

Advance Heath Care Directive:

An Advance Health Care Directive, sometimes referred to as a

"Living Will", is a written document declaring the type and…

…extent of medical care you desire in the event that you

become incapacitated. An Advance Health Care Directive is

the best way to make your medical and health care wishes

known and to insure that those wishes are followed, including

directions regarding the use of life-prolonging equipment and

procedures.

Health Care Agent:

A Health Care Agent is someone that you can appoint to act

on your behalf to see that your Advance Health Care Directive

is made known to your doctors and health care providers, and

more importantly, the Health Care Agent is the person who is

entrusted to see that your health care instructions are followed.

Appointing someone as your Health Care Agent has the same

effect as giving them a limited Power of Attorney over your

medical affairs (sometimes referred to as a "Durable Health

Care Power of Attorney." The term "durable" means that your

designated Health Care Agent will have power to act even if

you become disabled).

“A SMORGASBORD OF

A LIE”

By Kent Lawton

Everyone has favorite foods, and in

our day many of the most cherished dishes are scripturally

unclean. "But that's Old Testament," many will argue. And

they use a few favorite New Testament scriptures which they

say prove that today all food is okay to eat. How can we be

sure? Are animals and plants different today from what they

were in Biblical times? Are they all cleansed now? Do these

New Testament passages really prove that all food is

scripturally clean today? Are other issues also important in

this discussion?

The argument of the no-law teachers is that everything that

moves is fit for food. Do we accept on our dinner table a plate

of roasted rat, caterpillar, chopped snake, or winged bat? Are

these fit for food? Before discovering the truth, few of us

realized that life is governed by certain laws, just as the sun,

moon, and stars above are governed by the laws of nature.

Man cannot escape the law of the Creator. Man's every act is

governed for the good or the ill of man, according to his daily

response to the law of the Creator that was made for man - for

man's benefit. All of the ancient worthies knew and kept the

law of God the Father that was given to you by Jesus, yes

Jesus! He is the God of the Old and New Testament. It was

Jesus that spoke unto Moses regarding all of the laws

including the Ten Commandments and the dietary laws.

(1Cor.10:1-4) (v.1) Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye

should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the

cloud, and all passed through the sea; (v.2) And were all

baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; (v.3) And did

all eat the same spiritual meat; (v.4) And did all drink the

same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that

followed them: and that Rock was Christ. It was Christ that led

the children of Israel through the wilderness for forty years.

Man has never dealt with the one that became known as the

Father, never, you have never seen the Father or heard His

voice. (John:537) And the Father himself, which hath sent me,

hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at

any time, nor seen his shape. It has always been Jesus, even

when He was called by the name Jehovah in the Old

Testament.

WELCOME TO THE HUSBAND STORE!

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York

City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among

the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the

store operates.

You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six

floors and the attributes of the men increase as the

shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch... you

may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may

choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except

to exit the building. Happy Shopping!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a

husband... On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1: These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads: These men have jobs, love the

Lord, and like kids.

The third floor sign reads: These men have jobs, love the

Lord, love kids and are extremely good looking.

'Wow,' she thinks after visiting the first three floors, but feels

compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the

sign reads:

Floor 4: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are

drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.

'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still,

she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5: These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are

drop-dead good looking, help with the housework, and

have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and

the sign reads:

Floor 6: You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There

are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof

that women are impossible to please.

Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch

your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

The Filioque: An Orthodox Perspective [Fil`i*o"que\, the Latin for, "and from the Son," equivalent to

et filio, inserted by the third council of Toledo (a. d. 589) in

the clause qui ex Patre procedit (who proceedeth from the

Father) of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (a. d. 381),

which makes a creed state that the Holy Ghost proceeds from

the Son as well as from the Father. Hence, the doctrine

itself (not admitted by the Eastern Church).]
