A BREAK FROM POLITICS & POETRY - Bar Codes

The whole world is scared of China made 'black hearted goods'. Can you differentiate which one is made in the USA , Philippines , Taiwan or China ? For your Information... the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code wherein the product was made.

Sample: all barcodes that start with 690.691.692 until 695 are all MADE IN CHINA.

471 - shown below - is Made in Taiwan



This is our human right to know, but the government and related department never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves.

Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products 'made in china', so they don't show from which country it is made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits is 690-695 then it is Made in China .

00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 ~ JAPAN
50 ~ UK
57 ~ Denmark
64 ~ Finland
76 ~ Switzerland and Lienchtenstein
628 ~ Saudi-Arabien
629 ~ United Arab Emirates
690-695 - China
740 ~ 745 - Central America
741 - Taiwan
All 480 Codes are Made in the Philippines.

On His Shoulders

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Luke 15:3-7

He shall dwell between His shoulders. —Deuteronomy 33:12

Our family likes to hike, and we’ve had some grand adventures together. But when our boys were small, our enthusiasm caused us to walk too fast and too far, and their legs often grew weary. They couldn’t keep up the pace, despite their determined efforts and our assurance that the end of the trail was just over the next hill.

“Dad,” would come the plaintive request, accompanied by upraised arms, “will you carry me?” “Of course,” I would reply, and hoist the child on my shoulders. He was not a burden, for he was little and light.

How often, like my children, I’ve grown weary, and the end of my efforts is not even in sight. I can no longer keep up or accomplish the task. But I am learning that I can turn with arms upraised to my heavenly Father, who walks beside me, and I can ask Him to carry me.

I know He will lay me on His shoulder as a shepherd carries the lamb that was lost (Luke 15:5). There He will joyfully carry me all day long, for I am little and light—no burden to Him. There I find rest, for “the beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him, who shelters him all the day long; and he shall dwell between His shoulders” (Deut. 33:12).

Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort, strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you—
He will carry you through. —Palmer

The God who holds the universe is the God who is holding you.

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 51–52; Proverbs 8:32-36

Very cold already. It's cold, cloudy and windy here. I saw 23 degrees for Thursday night on wunderground. I think it's a mistake. It says the 30’s Thursday night on weather.com. Whew! :)

Good Morning DollyCali,
What a informative post!! I am going to copy and save this. We are going to have to take some matters into our own hands and this is something that we can do. We are still free to purchase or not what is made from our own hands or from countries that are not our enemies.

[pollywog]

Wow what a needed devotional today Mayor!!! I think many of us are feeling the need to be “ carried” right now...
