Whitney Houston Funeral Service Celebrate Houston’s Voice, Love & Faith During her Homegoing Service at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ … She is Now With Him
The funeral was held today for Whitney Houston at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ. Whitney Houston had passed away at the age of 48, tragically far too young.
Even though we are not perfect on Earth, today at Whitney Houston’s Homegoing service actor Keven Costner reminded us that she was the “perfect’ choice for him and her starring role in the 1992 movie “The Bodyguard.” For our many faults, sins and demons there are on Earth, we were also reminded today that we are all ‘perfect” in Heaven. May the grace of the Lord be with you forever Whitney, God Bless and Rest in eternal Peace.
Speaking at the service in Newark, Costner recounted his own second thoughts of putting her up for the role. She was a novice, he said, and the studio had questions of whether choosing a person of color would be good for the box office.
Doubts began to spread to the young entertainer.
In the end, Costner said, Houston nailed the tryout and went on to further fame and success.
“So off you go Whitney, off you go, escorted by an army of angels to your heavenly father,” Costner told mourners at the funeral. “And when you sing before him, don’t you worry. You’ll be good enough.”

At the conclusion of the service Whitney Houston’s coffin was lead from the church was her smash recording “I Will Always Love You” was played. What better way to finish the service than to hear Houston’s amazing voice fill up the New Hope Baptist Church one more time. What a fantastic voice, imagine that playing in Heaven for eternity?
I would be remiss if I did not mention Whitney Houston’s greatest love of all. Whitney’s amazing voice began in the church and ended there today as well. However, it was obvious today from many that even though she battled her demons of drug addiction, she never lost sight of trying to find “Him”. I am reminded by a post from the Gateway Pundit of Houston’s come back song, that I had forgotten … “I Look to You”. This might be Whitney Houston’s greatest lasting legacy in music to all of us. Please take a moment and listen. For all those who have looked to HIM during times of loss, hardship and our human failings. Whitney, there is no more pain, only eternal Love and Peace … Rest in Peace.
I Look To You
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all
Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
Chorus:
I look to you,
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you
’bout to lose my breath
There’s no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door
And every road that I’ve taken
Led to my regret
And I don’t know if I’m go’n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
Chorus:
My levees are broken
My walls are coming down on me
My rain is falling
Defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me!
AMEN WHITNEY HOUSTON!
Um, You Mean It is Not Presently a Crime to Have Sex With the Dead in Illinois?
File this one under, how is this not already a crime …
Illinois state Representative Dan Beiser (D-Alton) is sponsoring a bill to make unauthorized movement of a corpse a felony, House bill 5122. However, the bill is also making something else illegal as well, something that many would have assumed was already a crime. The bill will also make it illegal to have sex with a corpse.
It also would criminalize something that even Madison County Coroner Steve Nonn thought was already illegal — having sex with the dead.
Beiser said he introduced the legislation at the request of Madison County State’s Attorney Tom Gibbons and other law enforcement officials. Gibbons called the relocation of overdose victims an “impediment to investigation” in several cases.
Prohibiting sex with a dead body corrects an obvious omission in the law, Beiser said.
According to reports, if the measure passes, sex with a corpse would be a Class 2 felony, with punishment ranging from probation to seven years in prison. Unauthorized removal of a corpse would be a Class 4 felony, with a penalty ranging from probation to three years. Um, if it passes? Who would actually not vote in the affirmative for this bill?
More Lack of Shared Sacrifice from Michelle Obama … Heads Off to Ski in Aspen with the 1%
Michelle Obama … let them eat “fairness”.
Where is the MSM asking the question to Barack Obama, is it fair that you and your family continually take vacations on the tax payers dime when they cannot afford to? Is it fair that Michelle Obama goes skiing in Aspen? Is it fair that Obama nor Michelle provide no shared sacrifice, yet the President constantly asks for others to do so.
First Lady Michelle Obama once again she cares little about shared sacrifice and fairness. That is just political rhetoric and class warfare used by her husband Barack Obama to divide America. Queen Michelle heads off to Aspen, Colorado with her daughters to ski and hand out with the 1%. What an absolute joke that her hubby Barack espouses that he is the defender of the middle class and the poor when this President, his wife and first family continually live “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”.
Michelle Obama has embarked on a skiing vacation with her daughters in Aspen, Colorado, according to the Aspen Daily News.
The first lady, who just returned last month from 17 days of relaxation in Hawaii, is skiing in Colorado on Presidents’ Day Weekend for the second year in a row. Last year she went to Vail.
Michelle’s decision to ski out West again instead of hitting slopes closer to Washington would seem an inopportune choice for a first lady who is helping her husband campaign on issues of “fairness.”
The Obama campaign has set itself up as the defender of the poor and the middle class against the “One Percent,” a theme which clashes with the image a first lady who is taking frequent and exclusive vacations.
Barack Obama says that every one is going to have to sacrifice and have skin in the game. With all due respect Mr. President, exactly what skin do you or Michelle have in the game? What have either of you sacrificed?
As the Lonely Conservative states, what a shocker that the First Lady wants to keep this vacation low key and below the radar. What a joke. Barack and Michelle Obama might be the biggest hypocrites that have ever “dis”graced the White House.
Honestly, how can any fool think that these people speak for them? Barack and Michelle Obama are the 1% and they enjoy hobnobbing with them in places like Aspen and Martha’s Vineyard. Get a clue America. As the Gateway Pundit reminds us, didn’t these folks just go on a vacation to Hawaii? There is nothing populist about either one of these two, they just like keeping individuals are each others throats with class warfare as a diversion to what they do and believe in.
Mr. President, is it fair that Michelle Obama and your kids get to go to Aspen while 99.9% of Americans cannot?

Missing & Murdered Montana Teacher Sherry Arnold Choked to Death and Buried in Random Abduction by Suspects Michael Spell & Lester Waters
The first details are being released regarding the abduction of missing and now murdered Montana school teacher Sherry Arnold. According to Richland County prosecutor Mike Weber, Arnold’s abduction was a random act of violence by two drugged up suspects who choked her to death and then buried the 43 year old on a farmstead outside of Williston, North Dakota. Sherry Arnold went missing on January 7, 2012 when she went for a jog.
Prosecutors are disclosing the first details of what they believe happened to a Montana School teacher who was allegedly choked to death and buried, reporting she was the victim of a crack-fueled and seemingly random abduction.
An affidavit filed Friday by Richland County prosecutor Mike Weber is based largely on the alleged confession of Michael Spell, a suspect in the case who told FBI investigators that he felt guilty when he saw “missing” posters for 43-year-old Sherry Arnold after helping bury her body on a farmstead outside of Williston, N.D., about 45 miles from where she was abducted.
22 year old Michael Spell and 47 year old Lester Waters, 47, both suspects in the death of Sherry Arnold, are scheduled to appear in Montana district court February 28 on charges of aggravated kidnapping. Both Colorado residents are being held on $2.5 million bail each.
According to the affidavit filed by the Richland County prosecutor, crack cocaine was at the root of this random abduction and senseless act of violence.
After smoking crack cocaine during the entire trip, Waters allegedly told Spell that the drug “brought the devil out in him” and began talking about kidnapping and killing a female, the affidavit states.
After they spotted Arnold, Spell alleges that Waters told him to “grab the lady” and pull her into their Ford Explorer as she jogged by.
“Spell said Waters got into the back seat with the female and `choked her out,”‘ the affidavit states. That night, after dropping Arnold’s body in a rural area of North Dakota, the affidavit says Waters bought a shovel at a Walmart in Williston. The pair later buried Arnold in a 2- to 3-feet-deep hole on an old farmstead.
Waters returned the shovel to Walmart three days later, the affidavit says.
To all those who want to legalize drugs, take a good read and think again.

Yup, No MSM Bias Is There … Record 19 Reporters & Media Execs Join Team Reelect Obama
MSM bias continues … a record 19 reporters and media execs have joined Tea, Barack Obama. These are just the one’s that have jumped ship from their respective MSM outlets to the Obama gang. How about the one’s that stay in their positions in the MSM and carry the water for President Obama and his liberal agenda. But we are told that the “Liberal media bias is a myth.” Sure it is.
For some Washington reporters and media execs, cheering their team from the sidelines just isn’t good enough: Tugging on a red, white and blue Team Obama jersey is the answer.
That’s the case for a whopping 19 journalists and media executives, including five from the Washington Post and three each from ABC and CNN, who’ve gone into the administration or center-left groups supporting the president.
Those inside the administration hit 14 this month when the Post’s Stephen Barr joined the Labor Department. That’s a record, say some revolving door watchers, and could even be much higher: The Post reports that “dozens” of former journalists have joined the administration, although Washington Secrets couldn’t verify that tally.
Remember when ABC’s George Stephanopoulos had to remind Barack Obama that it was “his Christian faith”? Does anyone think the MSM would have been so kind and loving to GWB or Sarah Palin had they made such a mistake?
Is it any wonder why Americans can no longer get actual reporting from the media without a liberal, left-wing bias? Shameful, simply shameful that we have a MSM more concerned with a political ideology and agenda rather than informing the American people. BTW, where are all the MSM reports on the rising price of gas and the real unemployment number?
