God Knows Just what We Need

This is an amazing weekly devotion that follows the Jews Torah readings...for me this was just what I needed to hear. I thank God he is merciful to his people, even if those who should be there to support us turn their backs out of their own self absorbtion and sinful lusts.

Just one scripture I want to add to this:

Psalms 106:13-15
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

Parasha: Korach (this is from myffoz.org)

Who Is the Boss?

Korach - קרח : "Korach"

Torah : Numbers 16:1-18:32

Haftarah : 1 Samuel 11:14-12:22

Gospel : John 9-10

Commentary:

Though Dathan and Abiram accused Moses of arrogance, he was actually the most humble man on earth. At the burning bush, he had argued with God against his appointment, and he only reluctantly stepped into the role of prophet and redeemer. He regarded himself as nobody special. It was not that Moses had poor self-esteem; he simply had an accurate assessment of his own worth before God.
And they rose up before Moses, together with some of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, chosen in the assembly, men of renown. (Numbers 16:2)
"You're not the boss of me." That's what we used to say when we were kids. And it was probably true. Your older brother or the bully on the playground wasn't the boss of you, even if he thought he was. Korah and his followers rose up against Moses and said, "You're not the boss of us."
In Numbers 16:3, we read that Korah and his followers "assembled together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, 'You have gone far enough, for all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is in their midst; so why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?'" They accused Moses and Aaron of taking the first-boss positions. They questioned whether Moses had really heard from the LORD, and they refused his authority over their lives.
In reality, Moses never said, "I'm first boss. I should be the leader of all Israel. I am fit to be a leader." Moses never said, "I am really something. I am a big somebody."Neither He nor Aaron volunteered for their positions, submitted an application for their jobs or campaigned for their offices. They were simply serving God in the positions to which He had appointed them.
When Moses summoned the Reubenites Dathan and Abiram, they replied with a stunning display of impertinence. They reversed the promises of Canaan by speaking of Egypt, the land of their servitude, as a "land flowing with milk and honey" (Numbers 16:13). In other words, they were saying they had been happier being unredeemed in Egypt. They rejected Moses' authority and asked, "You would also lord it over us?" (Numbers 16:13). They denied his prophetic inspiration when they asked, "Would you put out the eyes of these men?" (Numbers 16:14); that is to say, "Are you trying to pull the wool over our eyes?"
Ironically, Korah, Dathan, Abiram and their followers were the ones exalting themselves and claiming to be big somebodies. Theirs was a posture of self-exaltation. "And they rose up before Moses" (Numbers 16:2).
Regarding Moses, the Torah says, "He fell on his face" (Numbers 16:4). The Master says, "Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted" (Matthew 23:12). Moses was not putting on a fake or obsequious humility. He had a genuine sense of insignificance in the face of the Almighty. That is why he was exalted by God.
When a man regards himself as a big somebody, he becomes angry with others who do not acknowledge his big somebodiness. He wants to be the boss. God says to the big somebody, "There is not room in the universe for both you and Me." God is the only true Somebody and the only real Boss. Only when a man utterly subjects his own will to God and says, "Not as I will, but as You will" (Matthew 26:39), is God able to inhabit him, work through him and ultimately exalt him. Such a person was Moses, the most humble man of his generation.

Ann Couler Article...Nails the Left!

49 million to 5

Ann Coulter applies liberals' logic on abortion to killing of doctors who do procedure

Posted: June 03, 20096:16 pm Eastern

By Ann Coulter

In the wake of the shooting of late-term abortionist George Tiller, President Barack Obama sent out a welcome message that this nation would not tolerate attacks on pro-lifers or any other Americans because of their religion or beliefs.
Ha ha! Just kidding. That was the lead sentence – with minor edits – of a New York Times editorial warning about theoretical hate crimes against Muslims published eight months after 9/11. Can pro-lifers get a hate crimes bill passed and oceans of ink devoted to assuring Americans that "most pro-lifers are peaceful"?
For years, we've had to hear about the grave threat that Americans might overreact to a terrorist attack committed by 19 Muslims shouting "Allahu akbar" as they flew commercial jets into American skyscrapers. That would be the equivalent of 19 pro-lifers shouting "Abortion kills a beating heart!" as they gunned down thousands of innocent citizens in Wichita, Kan.
Why aren't liberals rushing to assure us this time that "most pro-lifers are peaceful"? Unlike Muslims, pro-lifers actually are peaceful.
According to recent polling, a majority of Americans oppose abortion – which is consistent with liberals' hysterical refusal to allow us to vote on the subject. In a country with approximately 150 million pro-lifers, five abortionists have been killed since Roe v. Wade.
In that same 36 years, more than 49 million babies have been killed by abortionists. Let's recap that halftime score, sports fans: 49 million to five.
Meanwhile, fewer than 2 million Muslims live in America and, while Muslims are less murderous than abortionists, I'm fairly certain they've killed more than five people in the United States in the last 36 years. For some reason, the number "3,000" keeps popping into my head.
So in a country that is more than 50 percent pro-life – and 80 percent opposed to the late-term abortions of the sort performed by Tiller – only five abortionists have been killed. And in a country that is less than 0.5 percent Muslim, several dozen Muslims have killed thousands of Americans.
But the killing of about one abortionist per decade leads liberals to condemn the entire pro-life movement as "domestic terrorists." At least liberals have finally found some terrorists they'd like to send to Guantanamo.
Tiller bragged about performing 60,000 abortions, including abortions of viable babies, able to survive outside the mother's womb. He made millions of dollars performing late-term abortions so gruesome that only two other abortionists – not a squeamish bunch – in the entire country would perform them.
Kansas law allows late-term abortions only to save the mother's life or to prevent "irreversible physical damage" to the mother. But Tiller was more than happy to kill viable babies, provided the mothers: 1) forked over $5,000; and 2) mentioned "substantial and irreversible conditions," which, in Tiller's view, apparently included not being able to go to concerts or rodeos or being "temporarily depressed" on account of their pregnancies.
In return for blood money from Tiller's profitable abattoir, Democrats ran a political protection racket for the late-term abortionist.
In 1997, the Washington Post reported that Tiller attended one of Bill Clinton's White House coffees for major campaign contributors. In addition to a $25,000 donation to Clinton, Tiller wanted to thank him personally for 30 months of U.S. Marshals' protection paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
Kansas Democrats who received hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars from Tiller repeatedly intervened to block any interference with Tiller's abortion mill.
Kathleen Sebelius, who was the governor of Kansas until Obama made her health and human services secretary, received hundreds of thousands of campaign dollars from Tiller. Sebelius vetoed one bill restricting late-term abortions and another one that would have required Tiller to turn over his records pertaining to "substantial and irreversible conditions" justifying his late-term abortions.
Kansas Attorney General Paul Morrison also got elected with the help of Tiller's blood money, replacing a Republican attorney general who was in the middle of an investigation of Tiller for various crimes including his failure to report statutory rapes, despite performing abortions on pregnant girls as young as 11.
But soon after Morrison replaced the Republican attorney general, the charges against Tiller were reduced and, in short order, he was acquitted of a few misdemeanors. In what is a not uncommon cost of doing business with Democrats, Morrison is now gone, having been forced to resign when his mistress charged him with sexual harassment and corruption.
Tiller was protected not only by a praetorian guard of elected Democrats, but also by the protective coloration of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – coincidentally, the same church belonged to by Tiller's fellow Wichita executioner, the BTK killer.
The official Web page of the ELCA instructs: "A developing life in the womb does not have an absolute right to be born." As long as we're deciding who does and doesn't have an "absolute right to be born," who's to say late-term abortionists have an "absolute right" to live?
I wouldn't kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn't want to impose my moral values on others. No one is for shooting abortionists. But how will criminalizing men making difficult, often tragic, decisions be an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the shootings of abortionists?
Following the moral precepts of liberals, I believe the correct position is: If you don't believe in shooting abortionists, then don't shoot one.

Believing in State's Rights is Now an Act of Terrorism!

Believing in State's Rights is Now an Act of Terrorism!

This is a response to the recent State’s Rights Resolution that died along party lines in Helena, MT (guess which party was opposed to State's Rights?). The resolution was very standard and was simply reaffirming what is already in the US Constitution and our own state constitution about individualsim, state's rights and the limiting power of the Federal Government. The only reason many states are even making these resolutions is in response to OBAMA trying to FORCE states to take bail out money.

The bail-out money all in itself is a major problem for 2 main reasons:
1. If the Fed gets a majority of ownership and desicion making power with the banks that took money, then why doesn't the Fed get the same powers from states who take money?

2. Many of the expansive projects in the bail out are only funded for a couple of years. This leaves the tax payers not only obligated to the massive debt made by the bail out, but now having to fund the expansive projects implemented in their state.

For the Left to be against this resolution is a clear sign of the deep rooted problems with their view of American government and all our rights as American/Montana citizens. It also reveals the depth of either their hatred for our American heritage or insurmountable ignorance of it. The Democrats dared say that by sending a message to Washington we are being anti-government, well, the real ant-government speech is from the Left.

Firstly, the audacity to segregate and demonize citizens who want to affirm to the Federal Government that we stand on the 10th Amendment of the Constitution is despicable. Especially, when they would dare compare citizens to terrorists in order to accomplish this divisive tactic. The language used in this resolution is much like the language also used by Ben Franklin, Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, and the entire Constitutional Congress...does that mean they were terrorists too?

Secondly, if using the same language makes you guilty of being on the extreme; would it be safe to say that anyone who believes and propagates man made global warming or talks about saving the environment is potentially an eco-terrorists? Like the extremists who bomb SUV car lots or burn down multi-million dollar condos?

Thirdly, what is more ant-government? Writing a resolution to remind the Federal Government of their Constitutional boundaries according to the US Government, or trying to tear down the 10th amendment and local/individual governing? I say it is the Left that is the anti-government threat!

The Left can not be intellectually honest because their ideology can not measure up to either attribute (my new motto!).

Who Voted for HR 1586 To Punish Private Citizens UnConstitutionaly

Please do not be outraged at the IGA employees who recieved the Retension Bonuses. These were individuals who, despite the rumors, were not responsable for running AIG into the ground...HOWEVER, even if they were, the TRUE outrage needs to be dircted at Washington who porked out BILLIONS into the private sector in order to enlarge the Government and their power. Congress has now attacked and punished individuals via a tax, which is Unconstitutional (Article 1 sec 9) Which states Congress can not pass a law that is retroactive and also the Taking Clause which forbids Congress to use their taxing powers punitively against a certain demographic.

If this is allowed, then who is to say they will not develope a special tax against other private citizens if they say something Barney Frank or Nancy Pelosi doesn't like?? You argue that these was a compnay that recieved Federal Money...hhhmmm...how many organizations, demographics, and individuals get something from the Federal Government?

Do you get Food Stamps...who is to say the Fed won't take that away or more from you if you don't do or say what they want?

Do you recieve Fed money for school? housing? tax breaks? Think about it....are you a 501 (c)? what could the govermnet pass retroactively, thus making you responsable for taxes on money you recieved in the past? Can't pay, ok, they will just take your proerty and throw you in jail...unless of course you do what they want and say what they want...!!??!! I hope my point is getting across!

This is not about IGA, it is about the ABUSE of power that is monumental in our countiry's history!!

This is not a minor issue folks! This is the Governmnet seeking out and attacking private citizens!!!

Here is a list of every rep who voted "yes" or "no"...I suggest you write your Rep accordingly to chew them out or give them kudos based on their vote.

Question: On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass Bill: H R 1586

Vote description: To Impose An Additional Tax on Bonuses Received From Certain Tarp Recipients. (By their own admission, this is intented for the IGA employees)

Open Letter to My Montana Fascist Senators

Senator Baucus and Tester,
You sir have gone too far. You are not worthy to bear the responsibility of the Congress and are an embarrassment to the Republic and a traitor to those who elected you to do right by the Constitution.

Your shenanigans will not go unheard in my community concerning the bail out, stimulus, and budget, and now the attack on a very narrow demographic of citizens you are targeting at AIG. You are using your taxing abilities to punish a group you do not agree with...shameful.

It doesn't matter if those individuals helped ruin AIG by their poor performance. If the government hadn't stuck MY money where it didn't belong and intrude on the private sector, then this would not even be an issue.

Senator Baucus, your statements made on 3/19/2009 in which you state, "We need to find out the answer to this question: What is the highest excise tax we can impose that is sustainable in court?" are irredeemable. So you are going to push the limits of Article I, § 9, of the Constitution and the Taking Clause in order to follow the whims of a populist outrage YOU (Congress & White House) INCITED. What you are really doing is trying to distract from the fact that you SCREWEP UP with the stimulus bill and the budget and Americans are TICKED OFF!.

You are going down in flames and I will do everything in my power to see you do not get reelected.

So, if you don't like what I say are you going to push the legal limit and try to tax me, or take my property, or throw me in jail?

The powers of taxation Congress has, was never given to use as a punitive measure because our framers knew it would be used by tyrants...just like you to punish those you don’t agree with.

Most sincerely you Fascist!
Johnny M Furlong

Why I MIGHT Vote -Post from before the election on MySpace

So, as we all know Sarah Palin is now THE uniting factor for the Conservative base and the Republican party after we (Conservatives) have been insulted, ignored, and told to shut up by McCain and other RINOs (Republican In Name Only) and the majority of our party once they lost their clankers.

I assume that many now will pull the lever for the McCain/Palin ticket...I too may do the same. However, I also assume that while many of us are catalyzed and rejuvenated about the coming race due to Palin, we still have this terrible lingering thing called...a MEMORY! Mr. McCain was sure to stir our memories up in his acceptance speech at the RNC. It was laced with socialism, environmentalism, and monotone rhetoric. Don't get me wrong, as far as understanding our national security, McCain isn't bad at all...actually he called the surge in Iraq and he was right, but there are many other things at risk for our country.

McCain is still McCain...the Gang of 14, the Maverick who is willing to reach across the aisle at the cost of fundamental freedoms, like the 1st AMENDMENT! He only reaches when it is at the expense of his parties values and never demands such compromise from the Left. He is still the guy who will really screw things up for America and our party. He is the guy who said he would sign the Kyoto Accord...should I keep going?

So, I just want to be sure that everyone understands where I am coming from in case I do vote after saying I most likely would not once McCain got the nomination.

McCain is not the one beating Obama if he gets elected President...It is NOT McCain beating Obama....IT IS PALIN BEATING BOTH OBAMA AND MCCAIN!!

It is her ideals, her leading life principles, her realism, her beliefs and the hope she conveys so well to America about how great this country is. THAT is why McCain will win if he wins, because like Regan and Goldwater, Palin incites a flare of what America is underneath the D.C. puke.

She has said numerous times that she is at the service of this countries people, not the people in service to some big government machine that is going to redistribute wealth, hinder capitalism, or incite class envy. She is a great orator like Regan, that communicates that if we hang in there...in 4 years we can be back on track!!! She is the average, everyday superhero that makes this country go and that is why we love her SO much.

So, please do not misunderstand me. I will not be voting for McCain even if I pull the lever. I am voting for a Palin ticket in 4 years knowing she will have a better chance of winning if she is already in the White House.
Cheers!!

Selective Tears of Joy

As I was watching the election news last night I saw Jesse Jackson and Oprah and a whole bunch of other black Americans crying and weeping and smiling...I got to wondering something.

Where were the tears of joy when Clarence Thomas was nominated and achieved the status of the 1st African American Supreme Court Justice...???

Where were the tears of jubilation for Colin Powell when he was selected as the 1st African American Secretary of State...???

or Condi Rice as the 1st African American WOMAN National Security Adviser and then moved into the 1st African American WOMAN Secretary of State?

The hypocrisy of this all is the selective joy. So as long as the black man or women stay on the reservation by keeping the same ideologies as the Dems they are ok, but if they disagree with the Left, they are traitors and are treated as such...hhmmm...selective joy indeed.

and I want to send out a big KUDOS to the Conservative Republican movement who was the majority of the officials in the House and Senate in 1966 that pushed through the Civil Rights Bill movement despite the Kennedy's and Al Gore Sr and Robert Bird (all democrats) who fought it.

I want to give a shout out to the Conservative Republican President George H. Bush who was responsible for choosing Clarence Thomas, and to George W. Bush who chose Colin and Condi.

And finally to the Republican party and President who made slavery a part of the Civil War Agenda.

So what has the Democrat party done to help equalize this country?? (silence...crickets chirping)

So, when it is all said and done...Mr Obama, "you're welcome" that us Conservatives fought in order to realize the beautiful dream of all men are created equal that has made your dream possible!

If Obama would have had a Conservative world view I would have voted for him in a heartbeat...I wanted a Rice/Palin ticket!!

Here we Go

Well, the results are in and so it begins.

I am not upset or surprised. Those that pay attention to both secular events (politics,economies) and also pay attention to the Word of God know this is just something that has to happen.

I am not saying this is the beginning of the end, nor am I saying that it isn't. We have had several leftists in power and they did their damage and we did what we could to (and still are) rectify some of the damage.

The difference with Obama is the international love fest for him and the "messiah" treatment he is getting. I am not saying Obama is "The" Antichrist, but Jesus did not say there would only be one...he said there would be many and Obama is at least one of them. It doesn't matter if Obama declares himself to be one, the masses have done that for him.

The Middle East is excited that they have a Muslim influenced ally, Russia is planning military moves, South American officials have changed their names to Barak Obama. I watched a video today of people celebrating Obama as their president and they were waving Iranian, Mexican, European, and African flags along with the American flag. This is a notable difference when you look at the global economic problems and the Bible declaring there would be one who will, 'unite" the world and the world will turn against Israel. Lets be honest, Obama is NO friend of Israel and will do NOTHING if Iran or someone else attacks Israel. Yesterday in a Greek newspaper there was a pic of Obama on the front page with the headline that said the Jews control of the US is finally coming to an end....hhmmm.

I think it is interesting to note also, that the Market is heading down and Russia as of last night with the announcement of Obam's win said it will move Missiles to the border of Poland, said it would withdraw its plans to pull back military elements in other areas of the Ukraine...Why??? Because the Russians and the Market are not ignorant of the past and historically, Liberal Democrats are soft on national defense and hurt capitalism.

This is only the beginning...it is going to get a WHOLE lot worse before it will get better.

With all that said, I feel catalyzed for Christ...if this is how it is going to go down, then I say, "Bring it on!!" Let this massive shift to Marxism be a kick in the pants for The Church of God and the Kingdom. Let there be wars and rumors of wars, let there be a rise in economic chaos. IF this is truly the beginning of the end, do you realize in less then a decade we can be in HEAVEN!!!

So, this post is not me bemoaning the situation, but rather a call out to us. As we analyze these combining circumstances let us NOT bury our heads or say this is not the big one coming. Let us RUN with patience and fight the good fight. Stand up for holiness, stand up for the Great Commission and realize that this is our chance to win souls that will feel the ramifications of the hardships coming on the world.

God bless!

Why We are a Christain Based Country

What happens if there is no recognition of a higher authority over man then himself?
Then the only obvious conclusion is that man must get his direction and governance from himself in the form of civil government. But as history sadly reveals, those who would renounce God as the highest authority begin a war on him and those who would desire to believe in him. It begins by the exclusion of religious freedom from individuals in their public life because it might "offend" those who do not believe such nonsense. It then moves to a need to legislate against such people and forbid them from office. Then it moves into controlling what everybody thinks and says so as not to upset the governing powers pursuit of peace and utopia. Then comes the call for individuals not to be armed because it is the governments job to protect you just like they did when they barred religious zealots from practicing their beliefs. Then comes the thought police, then the encampments and jails.
Why does this all happen, because when there is no higher power to get our freedom from, then government is your god and since men are evil by nature, then evil will rule.
Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mussolini...all atheists, all mass murders.
While inevitably, someone will write and say, "what about all the murders in the name of religion?" It must be remembered that not all religions are good ones, because tif hey are invented from the evil hearts of men, thus the same outcome is produced.
However, when you look to the New Testament and find Jesus, who was not politically ambitious, but concerned about reconciling men to God, we find a whole different type of motivating power. The true message of Christ was love and forgiveness and the power through him to love your neighbor as yourself. When these principles are applied, then we have a government that allows men to seek God how they want as long as it does not hurt others pursuing of him, as well and does not hinder that pursuit. You have a government that treats each individual citizen as a special creation of God (even the ones still in the womb) and recognizes all men to be equal. That is the foundation on which this country was established, thus making it Christian based.

The Church of God Established in Havre, MT!!!










We are so excited and blessed to report the establishment of The Church of God in Havre, MT. We received permission from Bro. Bock the Great Plains Regional Overseer and on Easter Sunday of 2008 The Church was established with 7 members with a combined total of 13 because of the kiddos!

The Alexanders (Kirby and Nancy) were have been SO generous and kind by letting us stay with them until our rental house was ready the first of April. Also, Caleb and Mandie Alexander have been such a big blessing as well by feeding our crew.

My mom also has moved up here to Havre and has settled right in to her own place and is a HUGE asset to the local church.

We are so excited as God has also given us a place to worship on Friday nights and Sundays. Our local church is meeting in the local mall's community room and as you can see it is HUGE! We have a lot of room for growth. The best part is, the mall is letting us use it for only 10 bucks a week!! We have a projector, 2 great song leaders, 1 pretty poor guitar player, and a lot of excitement!

We are getting settled in our new place and have started a pretty big garden...I hope it turns out well...its our first one ever! I just keep thinking about the scriptures...plant, water, God gives the increase! LOL! We planted the garden in hopes to save money on food...it should produce quite a bit and we have some really good root vegetables we will jar this fall...we'll see how it goes! Brother Caleb has a friend who is able to get us half a hog for just under a $100.00 and deer season should produce about 3 or 4 animal, not counting the fish...we should be able to feed pretty inexpensive and that is a big blessing from God!

The kids got going on school and we are really excited about that. We are doing Alpha Omega's LIFEPAC program which is 5 subjects per grade. Plus, we were able to grab a great deal on Rosetta Stone's Russian (2 year program) for Hannah and Ethan.

I guess what I am trying to say with this update is Lib and I feel really at home and feel like after such a hectic past couple of years, we are finally where we belong and it feels SO GREAT to be at peace and getting settled in with our life and ministry.

So, Enjoy the pics everyone and please feel free to come visit us in Montana's best kept secret...Havre!
God bless you all!

More About Havre, MT






Wow!!
We have had a great time in Havre! This place is great...I feel so much at home here, just like I did in Bethel...I haven't felt this at home for several years! Thank you Jesus!

The Alexanders are in Arizona witnessing the execution of their son Paul...oops...did I write that out loud! :) Just kidding, we are really happy for Paul and Grace and may God bless them in their new life.

Anyways, the Alexanders are gone and so they were kind enough to let Lib and I house sit for them until our place is ready to move into. The other day (as u can see) we drove 45 mile north to Alberta, Canada...it was cool...we drove about 100 yards to the sign, snapped some pics and came back to the great ole' USA...only one problem!! Lib had taken her wallet out of her purse the night before to pay for the WORLD'S GREATEST PIZZA!! (that's another post) and forgot to put her wallet back...well guess what happened when the US Border Patrol asked to see our ID's... Lib didn't have hers... HAHAHAHA I still can't stop laughing...they wouldn't let Lib back in...asked her to go inside and made her answer questions...it was hilarious!! Now if they could only be half that strict at the Mexican border...LOL

Some of you mentioned it was hard to see the view from our house I said was so great, so as you can see I snapped some more.

We leave to go hold revival in Columbia Falls, MT on March 4th and we will stay and visit for a bit. I then will fly one way back to OK, load up a UHAUL and shoot back up to Havre. Then mid- April we will be heading over to Oregon for revival and District Convention. Life is a great ride and such an adventure with Jesus.

Well, have a good night...if anyone even reads my blog!! LOL

View of the foothills of the Bear Paw Mountains
Hey hey everyone!
Well, life has certainly been a roller coaster of a time and Lib and I have felt the same reactions...excitement and happiness mixed with some nausea!! :)

Lib and I have finished our time in Oklahoma and have headed back West! We are relocating to the Northwest Region to Havre, Montana. We are very excited and the best way to describe Havre is Bethel, Alaska but with roads and a Wal-Mart...I love it! :) It is also nice, because the Alexanders homeschool as well as about 3/4 of the whole town. Lib and I feel at home here and the kiddos love it as well, The members here are wonderful and excited about the work here...even after being here alone for several years and really have a great reputation here.

We are in talks with the Overseers about being able to establish a church here since Caleb & Mandie Alexander and Brother Kirby & Sister Nancy Alexander have been here for a few years and been working very hard to establish some great seed. We are all very excited and LOVE Montana. We have found a nice rental and I will be continuing my recruiting with Career Development Services in Tulsa.

Anyways, enjoy the Pics!!

I have issues!

I have to take issue as a Conservative 1st, Republican 2nd concerning personalities trying to jam Rudy down my throat. This is the best way for me to sum it up:
Like the Pundits, DC Politicians, and Mass Media, it is being pushed that whether Republican or Democrat the only way to win is to go to the middle. What part of the last 28 years do we not get? The middle has never decided anything. Regan was not the middle, Bush is not the middle, nor did they compromise their stances in order to try to get that vote. Clinton only won his first term because G.H. Bush went centrist and people wanted someone more firm...hence Ross Perot...hence a split vote. I know you say you know this, yet when you talk about Rudy compared to the other candidates, you say that we should vote for him if it comes between him and Hillary.
The Conservative base is still strong and it is this base that has made a major impact on policy and direction over the past 28 years.
The Conservative base is not some ambiguous scattered minority that has shrunken away just because Bush's poll numbers have declined, or because the left has gotten insanely more loud and ridiculous.
Why have we not diminished in our numbers? Because being a conservative is a way of life and not some political persuasion. Believing abortion is murder does not have a thing to do with who is in office, nor am I willing to compromise the fate of countless innocent babies so I can have some pseudo sense of security in a man who will keep us fighting against Islamic fascism…(besides, do we really know he will do an effective job? Are we certain enough to be willing to lay Constitutional rights and innocent lives on the line?)
With all that said that is why I can not and will not vote for Rudy…period…he has no moral compass in which to know how to preserve our American identity. I keep getting scolded by the aforementioned groups that I need to compromise on some things in order to beat Hillary. Well, I have no problem with compromising those things that can be compromised. However, there are 2 things which are never up for negotiation:
1. Constitutional Amendments (2nd amendment included)
2. Innocent lives (in or out of the womb)
So, how can I be asked to compromise those very things that make me who I am and America what she is!
I know Rudy has said that while he is for gun control he won't try to take away our guns…this may be true, but he sure won't do anything to STOP anybody else from trying if he has a bill or other issue more important to him!!!!!!!
I also have seen with my own eyes (Youtube) Rudy give a speech in strong defense of all abortions…including partial-birth. It seems suicide bombers believe in killing innocent children…so does Rudy!
National Security is a priority, but not at the expense of our national identity and morality that differentiates us from the 7th century scum who thinks nothing of life at all.
Case in point:
I heard a man today who talked about Islamic governments mixing religion in with their policies causing the creation of suicide bombers…he then compares that to if we have a Baptist President, he will mix his religion into policy to try and stop abortion, taking away the choice of a women. His point being that religion and politics do not mix so we need to compromise and vote for Rudy. AARRGGHH!!
Comparing Islamic Fascism; which encourages the taking of innocent life to further a religion of death and totalitarianism, to a belief system that wants to protect innocent lives and promotes individual rights to life including the right to protect ones self with a gun is INSANE!!!!!
Yet, Rudy seems to disregard some of the very fundamental principles that separate us from the people we are trying to whup up on.
Rudy does not have to be the nominee because he seems to be the strongest and the most in the center. Just because he has an R behind his name does not mean that we should vote for him, even if it means he is going against Hillary. Republican and Democrat mean nothing to me, because I have a moral base which dictates my life; and that base was put there by an eternal God whose laws do not change and supersedes anything man says to the contrary.
Mark my words this day - 10/11/2007 -
If Hillary Clinton gets the democratic nomination she will lose the Presidental race...UNLESS...she is running against Rudy Guliani...in which case Hillary will win!
