I have been listening to a lot of talk radio and have noticed there is much opinion on how conservative some of the GOP candidates really are. For instance, today on the Rush Limbaugh show, a stand in named Jason Lewis, said that Rudi, McCain, and Huckabee were center left conservatives and the true conservatives were Thompson and Romney. So I thought I would check out “On The Issues” to see how they rated the candidates as what their records show. I thought it was pretty interesting. Here is how O.T.I rated the top GOPers:

Well I have weathered 3 weeks in New York and now have returned back to God’s Country. I am glad to be back to a state where I am able to legally defend myself.

Everything did go well in NY and our business seems to be moving along nicely. Thanks to all who prayed for my safe travels.

Man’s existence was drab, cold, and bleak. Life came, like a brilliant thought flashing accross a dim mind. It came without further notice. Exploding on the scene. Throngs of angels didn’t build a palace of gold or crown him with jewels. Not many noticed. A few wise men and shepherds but who were they really?

It wasn’t a special place like a palace with the best delivery midwives. No comfort of plush quilts and soft fabric. It was hay, stuble, and swaddling clothes. It seemed only heavens host was celebrating this birth. Earth paid little attention.

After hundreds of years of prophetic silence all the desires of the prophets, the psalms, and the law rejoiced. His trajectory could be traced by the prophets from the cradle to the cross. Daniel foretold the exact timing of the coming of the Messiah. Isaiah foretold his birth and his death. Zachariah foretold of his pierced hands and side - the wounds he received in the house of his friends.

We have eye witness accounts of his majesty, mercy, and mighty resurrection. Our society has begun the decline of rejecting the promise of God and accepting the purulent answers of man. They have denigraded Christ to the form of a fairy tale. Peter said,

(2Pe 1:16) For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Truly it was “unto us” that a child was born and “unto us” a son was given. There was a day a baby was born in the city of David, a Savior, Christ the Lord.

To repeat Mary, (Luk 1:46) “And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord…“

To quote the old man Simeon, “(Luk 2:28-32) Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Friends, despite your persuasion and the current thoughts about Christ. Despite your feelings about religion and faith. Jesus was born and Jesus died for our punishment. True, December 25th was not the actual birth day, but that isn’t what is important. The important thing to consider was his birth and the purpose of that birth.

I pray all of you have a happy and safe celebration of Jesus our Messiah.

History

COLORADO SPRINGS (from DenverPost)— Amid deafening cracks of gunfire, smoke-spewing canisters and the flight of thousands of New Life Church members, Jeanne Assam said she suddenly saw the hallways clear and a gunman come through the door. “I took cover. I identified myself. I engaged him. I took him down,” the 42-year-old former law officer and volunteer church security guard said Monday at a news conference in the Colorado Springs police station. “I just said, ‘Holy Spirit, be with me.’ I wasn’t even shaking,” Assam said. “I give the credit to God. I say this very humbly. God was with me.”

Yet another example of why we should carry everywhere… even church.

I’m leaving out tomorrow morning for upstate New York for a couple weeks on business. I pray everything goes well and the trip is successful. Again, I am going to feel naked, not being able to carry my 45ACP. Pray for me.

Wendell Sinn Jr., 45, could face murder or manslaughter charges in connection with the dragging death of 20-year-old Jerid Sturman-Camyn along a rural Pend Oreille County road following a confrontation at a hunting camp, authorities said during a preliminary court appearance in Pend Oreille County.

I guess Mr. Sturman became very violent so Wendell Sinn decided to have his son drag him behind his pickup for 13 miles to cool him off. Well, Mr. Struman died of suffocation.

What disturbs me personally about this story, besides the actual events, is that I know Wendell Sinn. What’s even more weird, is that we really weren’t fond of each other. Wendell worked for a large construction company and was the lead contractor of a brand new building in Spokane, which I was once responsible for. We constantly had power struggles with the integrity of the building and it seemed I was always on the phone with the guy, asking him why my brand new, multi-million dollar, building was always falling apart. It got so bad that he avoided my calls on many occasions.

Well, he is claiming it was in self defense and I am a bit disturb by the fact he was released on a 100K bond. This doesn’t make any sense to me.

Watch the video.

My 4 year old wakes each morning with that glow in her eyes. She has this boundless optimism that good things are coming her way. Her eyes are blue as a clear Autumn sky, but they tend to light up when something good does happen. Like when I stay home from work, that is a shock to her and she loves it. Looking into those eyes I’m caught in a bind by a sick thought of why. Why are people killing babies before they have the chance to see them bloom and grow and light up the world?

Yes, this is taking aim at a hot topic, a sacred cow of liberal understanding, but it is burning in me. Why are we living in such a cruel and cold world. A world that kills innocence and assasinates purity. A frame work of hell that crushes the needy under the mill stone of the greedy. That rips the fabric of society in half and performs some twisted patch work to bring two sides together on the grounds of human frailty and not moral authority. I don’t understand. I can’t grasp it.

Let’s juxtapose shall we? Save Innocent life or murder it?

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deu 30:19)
