| Wow. It has been since last April that I last entered anything on this
site. Having 5 children has it's way of keeping one busy, I guess.
I've been listening and reading quite a bit latley about the war in
Iraq and what the U.S. should do. I have not been the greatest fan of
George W. Bush and I opposed the entry in to Iraq for Constitutional
and strategic reasons. Having said that, once we invaded, my mouth
shut. The only option the U.S. has had since the start of the invasion
is victory. I pray that the President's current plan is a success. I
pray for the protection of our troops and that God will thwart the
plans of the terrorist and all who seek to disrupt peace.
I'm angered, but not shocked by the Democratic party's response. They
are an opportunist party and love to play off emotions. They talk a lot
about change in how we are conducting the war, but offer no alternative
other than defeat.

ACCORDING

The

| An Opportunity to Share to GospelThis week at work, I found myself in a co-worker's office discussing
music, genetics, and then.... Jesus Christ. It was very odd. I had no
intention of talking about the gospel 30 minutes before work was out,
but that's what happened.
This collegue is known by all to be an unbeliver. He is very hostile to
Christianity. I've known him to have very odd beliefs. He's a deist who
combines some eastern thought. He's currently reading the Koran to "be
enlightened". He tells me that he's reading the Islamic scripture for
the same reason he reads things about Buddism, Hinduism, etc, : to open
his mind to all thoughts. When I asked when he last picked up the
Christian Bible to help with his "enlightnment", he admitted that he
rejected Christianity at age 13 and doesn't plan to consider it again.
I told him that I would put the Bible up against any other religous
literature that he reads. That the manuscript evidence, the
archeological record, the prophetic evidence, and the circumstancial
evidence all point to the Bible being the very word of God. He waved me
off as being silly.
Eventually, a friend of mine--fellow Christian who is also an associate
pastor at a local church, entered the office and the conversation. This
man held nothing back. At one point he told the unbeliver that he'd be
a fool for not at least considering the case for Christianity. If we
are wrong, well, we all die and become food for worms. But, if we are
right, then our co-worker will have hell to pay.
To appreciate the intensity of the moment, consider this: my pastor
friend works for this guy. He basically told his boss that he's going
to hell! Now, I'm also outranked by our unbeliving co-worker, but I
work in a different area and do not report to him.
At the mention of hell, I could see his (the unbeliver) hands start to
shake slightly and also noticed that he stopped making eye contact. It
was a very sad moment. He continued to reject the gospel and eventually
business/office work ended our conversation.
I pray that God will be merciful upon his hard heart.

| BOYCOTT GARY BUSEY
Regardless of what you think about the war in Iraq, this
story ought to anger you. I'm really sick of Hollywood types and their
anti-American blame-America-for-the-problems-of-the-world
propaganda. Gary Busey and Billy Zane are in a Turkish movie that
portrays American troops as no good murdering scum. Busey plays a Jewish
doctor who takes Iraqi prisoners and removes their vital organs and
sends them to rich folks back in the U.S. and Britan. Where's the
Anti-defamation league?
