Mexico's Independence Day - September 16 In the early nineteenth century, Mexico, with a little influence from the US and France, began talking about a revolt against Spain. Father Miguel Hidalgo from Dolores, Mexico, was a leader of one of the rallying groups. Hidalgo and his officers were planning a revolt for late fall of 1810. The Spanish people found out about the revolt which led the Spanish Government to order the arrest of Hidalgo and his officers. When Hidalgo found out, he called a meeting at his church. He rang the church bell on the night of September 15, 1810 to call his congregation to mass. Here Father Hidalgo rallied the people to fight. He gave the speech which is now known as 'Grito de Delores', saying "Viva Mexico" and "Viva la independencia!" These famous words have been remembered and are said each year at the Independence Day celebrations. Everyone fought together, including the Criollos (wealthy Mexicans of Spanish descent), Mesizos (children born from the marriage of a Spaniard and an Indian), and Indians. Armed with clubs, knives, stone slings, and ancient guns, they fought as they marched to Mexico City. A battle took place in Guanajuato between the Spanish soldiers and Hidalgo's followers. The army sacked the town, killing the Spaniards. They continued to fight on their way to the capital. When they finally reached Mexico City, the army hesitated before going in to fight and some of them even disserted the army. Before the year was over Father Hidalgo was captured and executed. Some people continued to fight for the cause and Father Hidalgo's Grito de Delores (Cry of Delores) became the battle cry of the Mexican War of Independence. The people fought for eleven years before they finally won their freedom. Today Mexican Independence Day is a major celebration in Mexico and is bigger than Cinco de Mayo. It is celebrated with a fiesta (party). The celebrating begins on September 15 (the eve of Independence Day) where crowds of people gather in the zocalos (town meeting place) of cities, towns, and villages. In Mexico City a huge square is decorated with flags, flowers and lights of red, white, and green. People sell confetti, whistles, horns, paper-machete helmets, and toys in the colors of red, white and green. There is also plenty of feasting! When the clock strikes eleven o'clock the crowd gets silent. On the last strike of eleven the president of Mexico steps out on the palace balcony, and rings the historic liberty bell that Father Hidalgo rang to call the people. Then the president gives the Grito de Delores. He shouts "Viva Mexico" "Viva la independencia" and the crowd echoes back. People do this at the same time all across Mexico. While the crowd says this they fill the air with confetti, streamers and hoopla. Castillos explode in showers of red, white, and green. The actual day of September 16 is similar to July Fourth in the US. There are rodeos, parades, bullfights, horseback rider performances and grand feasts. The statues in memory of Father Hidalgo are decorated with red, white, and green flowers. The Mexican Flag is made up of green, white, and red. The green is on the left side of the flag and symbolizes independence. White is the color in the middle of the flag and symbolizes religion. The red is on the right side of the flag and symbolizes union. These colors are used often in decorating for the Mexican Independence Day fiesta.

Does anyone know if the SOWER magazine and the S.O.W.E.R.S. group is connected?

Yes, there is hope but it's that root canal that is painful! Once you uproot the way tree(in your life)it gets better and better each day,you see clearer and life is good!

hmm...well I wanted to be a teacher and coach filed hockey. But after my best friend died I made a vow with God that I would live my life if he showed me the answers or end it(I was just a real young kid and just devasted by my friends death. I would have been in that car wreck with her had I not worked that night(talking high school here)drinking and getting high and I felt guilty and all the normal feeling an adolesent has when things happen like this. So,then I wanted to become a Police Officer and went to college to study Law Enforcement because I had awhile until I was 21(to apply for the job) In a move from Delaware to OKC is where I met The Way International. Had I just took the class and left at that moment I may have finished college and gone on with my plan,but that didn't happen..I was hook line and sinker sold out to "the ministry" with (i thought at the time) a higher calling. The whole Ephesians 1 chapter! What a detour!!!! A headache and a nightmare,...at 21 I joined the Army and soon after left TWI,and got on with me life.

I was at a christain bookstore getting my daughter a gift because she was in a car accident and had a shattered pelvis and to be flown to a hospital for surgery. She had to learn to walk again,then someone told me about the towers and the pentegon and the crash in pennsylvania. Lots of things happening that week in our family and I was just kinda numb,I didn't watch much t.v but it seemed the world was falling apart. I thought about Pearl Harbor and what that must of been like in the USA for people at that time. I had just finished reading a book by Sheila Walsh called Living Fearlessly(about telling the truth,facing your fears and finding His Peace.) I thought about what I had just read and it helped in the situation of my daughter and my two sons also because they didn't understand why all this was happening. God Bless those families of loved ones lost on that tragic day.

Roman said I could add his video too.

That is good to hear! We should have coming out parties for all these people!

Thanks,I will tune in and pray .

Reminds me of the Beverly Hillbilly movie!

Very Funny

Reminds me of one of my favorite books "The Healing Image"by Dr.Paul Brand and Phillip Yancey.

for every negative replace that with three positives..hmmm i heard that somewhere,but TWI is a huge NEGATIVE in itself lets replace THAT with thee POSITIVES,(like TRUTH) I am choosing Father, Son and Holy Spirit(no lies in between) I don't care how NICE some people were it was still a LIE. Developed by a LIAR,who was so decevied and decietful he passed on to people(for a small price ofcouse of 100 dollars that was in 1978) the contamination ,the infection,the germ,bacteria,the artificial bible man made by him(hence "religon") as bait. We bought it,took it poisoned us, made us sick spiritually SICK!

Pityful !

that chair seems crooked,i don't think there spiritual perception is quite right!

Reminds me of this song, rain on the scarecrow...blood on the plow!

they need to put a warning label on that site like may cause Vomitting,Nausea, Blurrred spiritual Vision and a bad taste in your mouth! You may never want to open a bible again or try going to a church because you may feel you don't FIT in. If you experience any of these symptoms call 911 or dial a prayer.

That doesn't even make any sense.

vp never would have made it thru Basic Training IF he was in a christian soldier army,they would have kicked him out as DISHONORABLE!

that is just sad. Those poor suckers.

thanks for that ,I put it on myspace and mygodtude account as LIES ONLINE.
