Pray for these Men

It is sad when a principal and an athletic director can face criminal charges for a lunch-time prayer.

A year ago, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against Pace High School in Santa Rosa County, FL, with the claim some teachers and administrators were endorsing religion. The school gave in and banned all school employees from engaging in prayer or religious activities before, during, or after school hours.

Two school officials are now facing criminal charges for offering meal-time prayers at an appreciation dinner for adults who helped with a school field house project. Principal Frank Lay and athletic director Robert Freeman go on trial next month for criminal contempt charges.

If they are convicted, they are both subject to fines and imprisonment.

Here are their crimes:

1) Principal Frank Lay asked the athletic director to have a prayer for the meal to celebrate the athletic achievements.

2) The clerical worker at an event where some employees of the school were present asked her husband, who is not an employee of the school, to have a blessing over a meal.

Because of these instances, these two men are now facing criminal contempt.

Does it not seem ridiculous for school officials to possibly face potential jail time and be labled now as a criminal...for simply praying?

Is this what we have to look forward to in this apparent "Change" and freedom from racial issues Obama is promising?

Never Forget

If seeing these images does not rekindle some of the outrage from these two days of infamy that are our own, I don't know what will.


Murrah Building, April 19, 1995 bombing left 168 dead.


World Trade Center, 9/11/2001 left 3,000 dead.


Let us not forget the American people are exceptional people drawn together by common values of liberty and inalienable rights.

Equality By Family Right

This altar is located on Palatine Hill, Rome, where once stood the palaces of the Caesars (where Paul preached in Acts 17).

It dates from about 100 B.C.

It has the inscription,

´To the unknown God.´

Acts 17

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:

TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

This proclaims:
We are of one blood
There is only one race, not multiple races
There are many people groups but there is only one race; the human race
Enforcing we are all equal in God's sight

A god created created by man's hands...is worshiped in ignorance
Decide what idol you "worship" ---- (Is this a solid foundation?)
God created the world and everything in it
He is a righteous judge and he needs not to prove His sovereinty
He has given His son as a sacrifice to die with our sins and then raised Him from the dead

Note:
God is LOVE. He created it. It is a characteristic he has entrusted to those he created.
YOU.
It is not science. It is God.

This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it

The White House has announced today, Sunday, January 18, as...

National Sanctity of Human Life Day

This is coming up on the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.

Full text of proclamation follows:

America was founded on the principle that we are all endowed by our Creator with the right to life and that every individual has dignity and worth. National Sanctity of Human Life Day helps foster a culture of life and reinforces our commitment to building a compassionate society that respects the value of every human being.

Among the most basic duties of Government is to defend the unalienable right to life, and my Administration is committed to protecting our society's most vulnerable members. We are vigorously promoting parental notification laws, adoption, abstinence education, crisis pregnancy programs, and the vital work of faith-based groups. Through the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002," the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003," and the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004," we are helping to make our country a more hopeful place.

One of our society's challenges today is to harness the power of science to ease human suffering without sanctioning practices that violate the dignity of human life. With the right policies, we can continue to achieve scientific progress while living up to our ethical and moral responsibilities.

National Sanctity of Human Life Day serves as a reminder that we must value human life in all forms, not just those considered healthy, wanted, or convenient. Together, we can work toward a day when the dignity and humanity of every person is respected.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, January 21, 2007, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to recognize this day with appropriate ceremonies and to underscore our commitment to respecting and protecting the life and dignity of every human being.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH

An Atheist Comes to Believe in Christian Evangelism

“Missionaries, not aid money, are the solution to Africa’s biggest problem - the crushing passivity of the people’s mindset.”

Matthew Parris, is a convinced atheist and columnist for The Times of London. He wrote an article describing a trip he took just before Christmas to his boyhood home of Malawi (formerly Nyasaland) and was confronted by Christianity, a conviction that he’s been trying to “Banish” for most of his life. He said it, “confounds my ideological beliefs, stubbornly refuses to fit my world view, and has embarrassed my growing belief that there is no God..Africa needs God...and it needs the Christian missionaries who spread the faith.”

“Now a confirmed atheist, I’ve become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa, Christianity changes people’s hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good.

I used to avoid this truth by applauding - as you can - the practical work of mission churches in Africa. It’s a pity, I would say, that salvation is part of the package, but Christians black and white, working in Africa, do heal the sick, do teach people to read and write; and only the severest kind of secularist could see a mission hospital or school and say the world would be better without it. I would allow that if faith was needed to motivate missionaries to help, then, fine: but what counted was the help, not the faith."

But this doesn’t fit the facts. Faith does more than support the missionary; it is also transferred to his flock. This is the effect that matters so immensely, and which I cannot help observing.”
He witnesses the people converted to the Christian faith “appeared to have liberated and relaxed them. There was a liveliness, a curiosity an engagement with the world…” He shares his belief that the answer for Africa in the 21st century is not to simply be provided with material goods or technology, but with a belief system that transforms. “Removing Christian evangelism from the African equation may leave the continent at the mercy of a malign fusion of Nike, the witch doctor, the mobile phone and the machete.”

Scott Gilbreath affirms this in his thoughts, Novia Scotia Scott “Christianity liberates believers; it takes away their fears; it makes them honest, dependable, and self-reliant…Economic support by itself does not change people. Billions of dollars in government-to-government foreign aid over many decades has enriched a minuscule and powerful elite, but it has not fundamentally improved the living conditions of the vast majority of Africans. Christianity, by contrast, has improved the lives of many of those it has touched.”

Obama's Workout:

Fit Democratic president = Disciplined, health-conscious Adonis role model

Obama's workout routine has of late been seen as god like. Example being, "The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games" as reported by Eli Zaslow. He as well reported that "Obama has gone to the gym for about 90 minutes a day, for at least 48 days in a row." According to Zaslow, the "Gym Workouts Help Obama Carry the Weight of His Position."
Journalists see Obama demonstrating discipline and balance in his life. Marty Nesbitt from Chicago was kind enough to add, who offered this diagnosis: "He doesn't think of it as something he has to do -- it's his time for himself, a chance for him to reflect. It's his break. He feels better and more revved up after he gets in his workout."

Bush's Workout:

Fit Republican president = Selfish, indulgent, creepy fascist

Bush's routing was attacked in an opinion piece for the LA Times 3 years ago by former Washington Post writer Jonathan Chait with the headline "The (over)exercise of power." He criticized how President Bush ran 3.5 miles a day and preached more cross-training to a federal judge, Chait fumed, "Am I the only person who finds this disturbing?...What I mean is the fact that Bush has an obsession with exercise that borders on the creepy."
Chait saw Bush's devotion to exercise was a avoidance of duty. "Does the leader of the free world need to attain that level of physical achievement?" he taunted. "It's nice for Bush that he can take an hour or two out of every day to run, bike or pump iron. Unfortunately, most of us have more demanding jobs than he does."
Reuters journalist Caron Bohan expressed the same feelings in his report on Bush's 2 hour, 17-mile bike ride with cycling champ Lance Armstrong in Crawford, Texas, in 2005. He highlighted the 6 day-a-week workout schedule and then turned the article into an anti-war rant: "Bush says exercise helps sharpen his thinking. But some of his critics view his exercise obsession as an indulgence that takes time away from other priorities.”

Now that’s not a little one sided…right…
