Online Ordination

Hello, I am Rev. Ron Baams, founder and pastor of the Arizona Ministry of Life.

I received a Baccalaureate of Arts Degree in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts/Boston and a Master of Science Degree in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Boston College. I served clients as a nurse for over 27 years on psychitric units, cardiac unit, surgical units, intensive care units, and in emergency rooms. What has always struck me, and rather profoundly; is the impact that a person's spirituality, or lack of it, has on his healing and overall well being. In medicine in general, we make feeble attempts at addressing the client's spiritual needs, but the reality is that most healthcare professionals are not adequately trained in this area, or lack spirituality themselves.

Through my life I have had many trials and tribulations (as do all of us), and made many poor choices that hurt myself and others. In retrospect, these were times when I failed to recognize or accept the presence of God in my life. Yet, He still watched over me and carried me forward. I now give daily thanks and praise to Him for that. Having recognized God's grace, and accepting Him in my life, He has made me clearly see the path that He has chosen for me. That is to tend to people's spiritual needs in a way that they can accept, and do all I can to manifest His love and abundance for all. I became an ordained minister with a simple goal; let God's hand guide me in sharing His love and abundance.

Universal Life Church

I thought this was interesting, so I thought I'd pass it along  It only takes a few days on the Internet and this will have reached 75% of the public in the U.S.A. Seniors need to stand up for what is right, not what the politicians want or big Corporations want.     The disillusionment on the Internet is becoming increasingly repetitive - the country's backbone is waking up.  Will they listen?  Or do we have to embrace the radicals she mentions?    This was sent to Mr. Rand who is the Executive Director of AARP.    THIS LADY NOT ONLY HAS A GRASP OF 'THE SITUATION' BUT AN INCREDIBLE COMMAND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE! also confirmed by snopes: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/aarp.asp     Dear Mr. Rand,    Recently you sent us a letter encouraging us to renew our lapsed membership in AARP by the requested date. I know it is not what you were looking for, but this is the most honest response I can give you.  Our gap in coverage is merely a microscopic symptom of the real problem, a deepening lack of faith.     While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the AARP goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse it's abdication of our values.  Your letter specifically   stated that we can count on AARP to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours.  Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace.  We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary.  But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent.  This is the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of  government.    Once upon a time, we looked forward to being part of the senior demographic.  We also looked to AARP to provide certain benefits and   give our voice a power we could not possibly hope to achieve on our own.   AARP gave us a sense of belonging which we no longer enjoy.  The Socialist politics practiced by the Obama administration and empowered by AARP serves only to raise the blood pressure my medical insurance strives to contain.  Clearly a conflict of interest there!    We do not understand the AARP posture, feel greatly betrayed by the guiding forces that we expected to map out our senior years and leave your ranks with a great sense of regret.  We mitigate that disappointment with the relief of knowing that we are not contributing to the problem anymore by renewing our membership.  There are numerous other organizations which offer discounts without threatening our way of life or offending our    sensibilities.    This Presidential Administration scares the living daylights out of us.  Not just for ourselves, but for our proud and bloodstained heritage.  But even more importantly for our children and grandchildren.   Washington has rendered Soylent Green a prophetic cautionary tale rather than a nonfiction scare tactic.  I have never in my   life endorsed any militant or radical groups, yet now I find myself listening to them.  I don't have to agree with them to appreciate the fear which birthed their existence.  Their borderline insanity presents little more than a balance to the voice of the Socialist mindset in power.  Perhaps I became American by a great stroke of luck in some cosmic uterine lottery, but in my adulthood I CHOOSE to embrace it and nurture the freedoms it represents as well as the responsibilities it requires.     Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all communication in Spanish.  ARE YOU KIDDING???  Someone has broken into our 'house', invaded our home without our invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep the perpetrator in comfort and learn the perp language so we can communicate our reluctant welcome to them.    I DON'T choose to welcome them.    I DON'T choose to support them.     I DON'T choose to educate them.    I DON'T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or clothing.    American home invaders get arrested.    Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on American soil that Americans do not get?    Why do some immigrants have to play the game to be welcomed and others only have to  break & enter to be welcomed?    We travel for a living.  Walt hauls horses all over this great country, averaging over 10,000 miles a month   when he is out there.  He meets more people than a politician on caffeine overdose.  Of all the many good folks he enjoyed on this last 10,000 miles, this trip yielded only ONE supporter of the current administration.. One of us (i.e., AARP) is out of touch with mainstream  America .  Since our poll is conducted without funding, I have more faith in it than one which is power driven.       We have decided to forward this to everyone on our mailing list, and will encourage them to do the same.  With several hundred in my address book, I have every faith that the eventual exponential factor will make a credible statement to you.     I am disappointed as hell.  I am scared as hell.  I am MAD as hell, and I'm NOT gonna take it anymore!    Walt and Cyndy  Miller Farms Equine Transport  ******************************* The Universal Life Church is a comprehensive online seminary where we have classes in Christianity, Wicca, Paganism, two courses in Metaphysics and much more.  Ordination with the Universal Life Church, is free,  and lasts for life, so use the Free Online Ordination, button.We also offer many free wedding ceremonies for your use.   The  ULC, run by Rev.
