Yesterday It Was Pork! Today It's A Beef With AIG! Tomorrow We Can't Be Playing Chicken!

Today as I read the headlines and watched the news, a "Beef" was rendered against AIG as they were led to the hot seat. Apparently millions are going to pay bonuses to executives at the bailed out insurance giant!

Today, we have forgotten that Yesterday it was the politicians who were in the news because they had "hammed it up" with too much pork directed to their pet projects in the bailout.

What about tomorrow? The media will be pointing their fingers at some other entity that has not handled truth, money, and the country's trust with integrity! But what about the media who has to own up to their own responsibility in creating such a mess in America and indirectly to the world's economy. They aren't, as they now portray, as innocent as they want you to believe! They are in the same stock truck headed to the packing plant for slaughter as the Politicians and the bonus grabbers at AIG!

What about tomorrow, should the "buck stop here," should a stop payment be issued on the bailout checks?!?!?!? Let's not be "Chicken" about the "beef" and about the "pork" that has lambasted the American public while AIG Executives and Politicians continue to live life as usual on our tax payer dollars!

Pastor And Famous Author John Maxwell Arrested For "Packing Heat!"

You Have To Appreciate Leadership Guru Pastor John Maxwell's Explanation Of His Arrest For Having A Concealed Weapon As Detected By Airport Security...

Quotes from http://johnmaxwellonleadership.com/

"My friends used to call me Mr. Magoo. For those of you a little younger, they have also called me Forrest Gump.

Well, off I went to the airport in full Mr. Magoo mode. In security, I put my carry-on bag on the conveyer belt and didn’t think anything of it (it = a hand gun). Truly, it’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done.

You can probably guess the rest. I was arrested, handcuffed, and taken to jail, where I was fingerprinted and photographed. Needless to say, it opened my eyes to a world I’d seen only in the movies. I was glad when I posted bail and was able to leave.

I said this post would be of a personal nature, but there is still a leadership lesson to be learned from it. First, take responsibility for your own actions. What I did was wrong, and it was my fault. I certainly didn’t intend to break the law, but I will face up to the consequences.

The second lesson, to use the words of my friend Kevin Myers, is this: “Stupid hurts.” If you’re not paying attention and you do something stupid, it’s going to hurt you.

In the end, I just hope my mistake isn’t going to hurt anybody but me."

A Prayer of Hope
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. —Romans 15:13

As I prepare for worship services this weekend, I can’t help but think about the members of First Baptist Church of Maryville, Ill. This will be the first Sunday that they worship together since the death of their beloved pastor, Fred Winters. The young pastor was shot and killed by a gunman last Sunday during a morning service.

It heartens me to know that Al Meredith will bring a message to that congregation on Sunday. I can’t think of a better person to do so. You see, Pastor Meredith’s own church, Wedgwood Baptist in Fort Worth, suffered a similar tragedy. Nearly 10 years ago a gunman entered Wedgwood, where a youth event was taking place, and killed seven before turning the gun on himself.

I ask today that we all take time to pray for this hurting church family. Pray for the Winters family, who have lost a husband and father, pray for the congregation, and pray for Pastor Meredith as he brings a message of hope that comes only from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Young Muslim Men Disappearing From Minnesota!

Newsweek Reports..."as many as 20 Somali-Americans between the ages of 17 and 27 have left their Minneapolis homes in the past 18 months under suspicious circumstances. Their investigation deepened when one of the missing men, Minnesotan Shirwa Ahmed, blew himself up alongside other suicide bombers in Somalia last October, killing dozens of al-Shabab's political opponents and civilians. Ahmed had also prayed at Abubakar, and within weeks the FBI put the imam of the mosque, Sheik Abdirahman Ahmed, on a no-fly list. Among the questions investigators are asking: Who persuaded the young men to go? Who paid for their flights? And what role, if any, has the mosque played in their alleged recruitment?"

An Interesting Visit With The F.B.I. Agent

Today, I went to an FBI office and spoke to an agent. I felt that he wasn't on the same page as I was but on the page that says, "Politically Correct". I asked him if the F.B.I. was watching the Muslims here in our city. He said that they can't target a particular religious group. Under the President, everyone has a right to freedom of religion. He mentioned that it was only 19 Muslims that flew the planes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon, field in Pennsylvania. on 911. I reminded him that Muslims have been involved in a number of incidents of terrorism around the world. He sort of grinned when I told him that it isn't the Christians who are the terrorists. We are called to love one another.

The F.B.I. agent said to contact him when we know that this "religious group" is stockpiling guns or sending money to terrorists organizations. (Guess we'll have to do their homework for them). Oh yes, one last comment. The F.B.I. agent didn't know that if you criticized the Islam faith it is a reason for them to kill you.

Can we say together??? "Asleep at the wheel!!!!"

Pass North Dakota's House Bill 1572! Go North Dakota!!!

You Have To Love North Dakota And Their Current Attempts To Pass A Law Which Would End Abortion In Their State!

As You Can See, Planned Parenthood's Sarah Stoesz Is Using The Same Play Book Plan That Was Used In South Dakota In 2008.

From a press release from Planned Parenthood:

"HB 1572 is dangerous, far reaching and allows the government, not women and families, to make critical decisions about health care," said Sarah Stoesz, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Minnesota (PPMNS).
"Women and families, not politicians, should decide what's best for their unique circumstances. Whether the issue is abortion, birth control, or in vitro fertilization, women, in consultation with doctors should make these personal medical decisions," said Stoesz.

Go, Go, Go, North Dakota Prolifers!

Personhood Amendment In North Dakota And Montana!

The ProLife Movement Is Alive And Well!

Helena, Montana - 02/26/2009 - Montana's Senate passed constitutional Personhood Amendment, SB 406, in a 26-24 vote. The amendment, introduced by Senator Dan McGee, passed on its third reading on the Senate floor this morning. This is the first Personhood Amendment in U.S. history to pass a State Senate.

"Senator Dan McGee, writing the language of SB 406 himself, has shown what it truly means to be pro-life," stated Keith Mason, of Personhood USA. "Senator McGee's successful efforts on behalf of all human beings at all stages of human life are a giant step forward in historic efforts to ensure the rights and protection of every individual."

SB 406, which defines person for the purposes of application of inalienable rights, states, "All persons are born free and have certain inalienable rights...person means a human being at all stages of human development of life, including the state of fertilization or conception, regardless of age, health, level of functioning, or condition of dependency."

"Praise God! The honor of being the first State Senate in U.S. history to recognize the personhood of pre-born children goes to Montana," commented Cal Zastrow of Personhood USA. "Thanks to the leadership of Sen. Dan McGee, The Montana Personhood Amendment now moves forward to the State House of Representatives."

SB 406 must continue on to pass the Montana House of Representatives with a majority vote of 74. The race is on between Montana and North Dakota for the first Personhood legislation in our nation's history, as Montana's Personhood Amendment continues on to its House of Representatives, and North Dakota's Personhood legislation continues on to its Senate.Reprinted from www.personhoodusa.com
