Federal Agency Warns of Radicals on Right
"The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias..."
Are you opposed to abortion? Do you believe that living a sinful life contradicts God's Word? How do you feel about the freedom of speech? The Department of Homeland Security could be labeling you as a "rightwing extremist". I wish this article wasn't copyrighted so I could post the entire thing here. I encourage you to read the article so you can better understand how Christians are about to come into the cross-hairs of the Federal Government's aim.
May the Lord put His protective hand on those who speak up for Him.

Light in a Dark World
"What's up, Jesus? Looney Tunes 'Last Supper' parody stirs controversy"
When I read this, I wondered why anyone would do such a thing. Then, I read this:
"Most American Christians Do Not Believe that Satan or the Holy Spirit Exist"
There's an article floating around that I haven't had time to dig into yet that is saying the "Christian Right" has basically given up on society. So much of the news is bad and as Christians we know that the Scriptures have been warning of these days for generations. We can't stop the flow of time, but I have this indescribable hope inside of me. I guess that's why I can read about the current events and not become hopeless. God's Word states that these things will come to pass, but It also states that as Christians we have the hope through Jesus that He has us under His wing and there is no reason to despair.
Is this a time to draw into ourselves and give up on the people around us? I say NO! Now more than ever is the time to let our lights shine into the darkness and proclaim the awesomeness of our Lord. Yesterday we celebrated the sacrifice & Resurrection of Jesus Christ ... today, we are to stand taller and hold our lamps higher to show a very lost and scared world the love of our Savior.
Stand for Jesus and let your light shine.
May the Lord bless you.

Signs of the Times
"Thief swipes 83-year-old woman's 66-year-old bike"
Is this a sign of the times? It's hard to believe that any self-respecting thief would be caught dead riding around their 'hood' on a 66-year-old huffy bike.
Over in Flathead Montana there's G. George Ostrom. He's a columnist for Columbia Falls Hungry Horse News. His article:
"About Girl Wrestlers" is just good reading with some good ol' fashion common sense thrown in.
Have a blessed day!

Vt Joins the Sodom & Gomorrah List
Vermont becomes 4th state to legalize homosexual "marriage" by overridding Gov. Jim Douglas' veto.
"Marriage Bill Veto Override Attempts To Take Place Today"
This has been a long & emotional battle in Vt.; and dispite all the attempts to push it through in the past, the voice of the citizens would not allow it to pass through the voting process. Back in 2000 the courts tried to step in and override the people with the assistance of former Gov. Howard Dean, but the people again said NO. Unfortunately the people lost their say; and the law makers, (many of whom have chosen the homosexual lifestyle themselves and/or are personal promoters of this lifestyle),stepped over the will of the people to bully this legislation through.
Governor Douglas is a good man and is highly commended for his stance on this issue. He has been quoted time & again saying that this legislation is a distraction from the real issues Vermont is facing. He took his stand but refused to influence the other Republican lawmakers. I suspect that it is because Gov. Douglas signed his own pink slip in taking this action. That saddens me because Gov. Jim Douglas is a very down-to-earth man with alot of old fashion common sense. He governs with compassion & fairness.
For those who feel that homosexuals have a right to marry and don't understand why "hate mongering Christian" are trying to impose their beliefs on others, this not so simple act of including "homosexual marriages" in the official definition of marriage has a far broader impact than homosexual-sympathizers realize. Let me give you an example how this will impact the average person. If a wedding photographer feels that marriage should be between a man & woman and decides that taking pictures of homosexual weddings is not something they would be comfortable with, they could be sued & formally charged with discrimination by refusing to perform that particular job. So if that photographer doesn't compromise their covictions they could very easily loose the business they worked so hard to build plus face criminal charges for discrimination. And if a church and/or pastor chooses not to allow "homosexual marriages" in the church, they will also face charges. The list goes on; but you get the picture.
This is truly a sad day for not only the state of Vermont, but also the Country.
May the Lord have mercy on us.

Unbelievable
OK folks, I said that I wasn't going to do this. I rode Barack Obama pretty hard during the elections; and I got a little wound up when he became the President-elect by pointing out his lack of official documentation as to whether or not he was qualified to become the president. I went a bit tilt when he reversed the abortion thing banning our relief workers from providing abortions overseas. (I almost forgot how I kind of cut loose over that Veteran issue ~ but you've got to admit it, that one was deserved!)
But, I didn't say anything a couple of weeks ago when England's Prime Minister came to meet with President Obama and Obama was too busy to give the man the time of day. But he did send the Prime Minister home with a consolation prize consisting of a stack of DVD's (that could have been purchased at the Blockbuster down the street and was virtually worthless because our videos don't play in England's electronics). I even kept my tongue yesterday when it was reported that upon visiting the Queen of England, President Obama gave her an ipod as his official greeting gift. But, there's a new video out on youtube that just has to be seen.
Today when the G20 meetings were coming to a close and everyone was gathering for the last goodbye, the leader of the biggest superpower of the free world bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia. Not just an exaggerated nod ~ but a full scale down to the waste, look the fella in the belly-button bow.
"G-20 Summit: Family Photo"
I'm not an overly proud person. I don't have a racist bone in my body. But, does anyone besides me feel that this is terribly wrong? Not only does this man not know his "heads-of-state etiquette", but by bowing he has officially shown the world, as our leader, that America is submissive to the Saudi government.
Isn't it time for folks to wake up and smell the coffee? In less than 100 days ...
OK, I'm going to close for now. But, mark my words ~ we are in for trouble like we've never seen it before. And where will our "leader" be then?
May the Lord bless you, and may He have mercy on this country.

The West Coast is at it again ...
Jury awards man $8.6 million after crashing with pig
OK, let's get this straight, man on motorcycle hits a wild pig & sues the state of California. He claims that the state DOT knew there were wild pigs in the area. (I guess the DOT forgot to put a "Pig Crossing" sign up.) The jury awards him $8.6 MILLION DOLLARS! Is it a wonder that the state of California can't pay their employees, their bills, or their tax refunds to hard-working citizens ... but they can pay a man millions of dollars because he hit a pig. Someone needs to sue that jury for lacking common sense and while they are at it ... disbar that lawyer. This ranks right up there with suing McDonalds because they didn't tell the customer that the coffee was hot. Anything to make a buck.
The world has gone completely mad. And we wonder why we're in the mess we're in. I hope that fella doesn't mind a rubber check (post-dated).
May the Lord bless you.
