This week's lesson came from Mountain Wings.  It is very informative.
 
Terror Level Red
===========

The U.S. Government has issued a Terror Level Red Alert.

Red is the HIGHEST level of alert. It means to be EXTRA
vigilant for destructive acts. It is the most serious of alerts.

The American public was upset after the September 11th attacks.
They were upset at the attackers and they were later upset that
the U.S. Government didn’t take heed to the warnings.

Failure to heed warnings often results in disaster.

I estimate the combined death toll from acts attributed to
terrorists against the U.S. total less than 5,000 for the past
20 years with the September 11th attack the bulk of the number.
The next largest total was the 1983 attack against the marine
barracks in Beirut which killed 241.

Attack in any form is just as deadly so the government has wisely
issued alerts so that its citizens will not be caught off guard.

5,000 people is a huge number any way you count it but there is
an even greater terror which threatens us; thus the Red Alert.

Consider these facts of terror:

More people will die in one week from cigarettes (370,000 per
year, over 1,000 per day) than ALL of the U.S. deaths attributed
to terrorists in the last 20 years. That's just in ONE WEEK!

100,000 die each year from cancer attributed to being overweight.
That's more per day than those who died in the Beirut bombing and
that's just cancer and doesn't count heart and other diseases.

Cancer is the leading cause of death for those under 85.

Nearly 50% will die from cardiovascular disease (heart attacks,
strokes, etc.).

It's epidemic and the death toll is rising.
The government is desperately trying to warn us.

We are not listening.

When you pray over as many prayer requests as I do, you feel the
devastation of cancer, the loss of a loved one, the despair of
reduced mobility and life due to major illness. It is real but
unless you are famous, your case won't make the news. Each one
of us knows someone who has been affected by these agents that
cause terror in our lives.

With an official alert comes directions on what to do.

These are the top four things the government has told us to do
to prevent the terror of cancer, the terror of heart disease,
and the crippling and terrible effects of strokes. These four
things not only wards those terrorists off, but it helps to keep
away every other major disease.

Yes, it is shocking to hear of plane crashes and bombings but
let your doctor tell you that you have cancer.

You'll soon find terror taken to another level than what you see
on the news.

It's personal.

So what are the four things the government has told us to do?

1. Eat at least five servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily.

2. Exercise 30 to 60 minutes at least four days a week.

3. Get and maintain your weight at a healthy level.

4. Stop smoking.

Those minimum recommendations are echoed by the medical profession
and natural health practitioners.

The problem is that the majority of adults (and now children and
teenagers) won't follow the advice.

Even among those who don't smoke, most still don't follow ANY of
the other three.

The increasing rate of disease is killing more and more.

The public was upset because the government may not have heeded
a few warnings among thousands. What about when there are four
clear and unquestioned warnings about terrorists that you KNOW
are in your area and the facts say they WILL likely attack you?

It is a clear and present danger.

The terror is increasing and YOU and only YOU have the power
to reduce these terrorist's operational ability in your world.

What you have "Bin Doing" is going to affect you much more
than "Bin Laden."

The response is not up to the President, Homeland Security,
the CIA, the FBI, the police, or the military.

It's personal.

Terror Level Red!!!!

Failure to heed warnings often results in disaster.

You have been warned.
