In this two party system, Obama or McCain will win the presidency and Shaffer or Udall will win the senate seat.<br /><br /> The question to ask is, under what candidate will the unborn have a better chance to live.<br /><br /> Remember, we only have three choices:<br /><br /> 1. Vote for Obama<br /> 2. Vote for McCain<br /> 3. Not vote or vote third party (same effect on the lives of the unborn)<br /><br /> Option two will give the unborn the best chance to live. It is a Christians duty to vote for McCain and following the Biblical Principle of Valuing Life! Again, unless you are breaking a biblical command by voting for McCain, you must do so if you believe in following biblical principles.<br /><br /> I know the argument about the qualifications for a judge given to Moses. If we were choosing a president out of all the people in the nation, those verses would be applicable. However, God in His providence chosen that McCain or Obama will win the next presidency. Our job is then to select the one that will more closely follow God's principles.<br /><br /> I hope and pray that God will give you wisdom as you go to the polls tomorrow!<br /><br />Have a great day! Be praying tomorrow!<br /><br />David<br /><br />P.S. This isn't the defense I was talking about, but it will have to do. I'll post the whole essay later after the election (it will still be applicable to future elections).Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09389170045519855206noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-8679742874233771892008-07-28T08:52:00.004-06:002008-12-09T19:59:39.911-07:00Blogger Deeply Hurt by Old Snakey BugA few days ago a blogger was playing Old Snakey to relax his tattered nervs when he received the shock of his life.

Also, it's good to see this here blog is still it's same good lookin' blue self. Anyways, with that said, I need your help. As you know, Father's Day is coming up and you normally need to give him a gift. (Honestly ya'll, it's the least you could do.) Anyways, I've posted on my blog (<a href="http://www.somelilguy.blogspot.com/">www.somelilguy.blogspot.com</a>) saying that I'm needing some ideas of what to get my father because I can't afford a BMW but I don't want to get him another Chipotle gift card. So, you could leave a comment on my blog, leave it here....it really doesn't matter. So if you could help me out (and possibly other readers) that would just be tickle-my-toes-awesome! Anyways, have fun.<br /><br />AndrewAndrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17809886813296408737noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-45076030067939894572008-06-07T17:42:00.001-06:002008-06-07T17:44:06.519-06:002008 GOP State Convention<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/2008GOPStateConvention">Here </a>are the promised pictures of the GOP State Convention.<br /><br />Enjoy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-88501351842904367942008-06-02T08:48:00.003-06:002008-06-02T08:52:44.950-06:00Heritage PhotographyHello Everybody!<br /><br />For those of you who have been looking at my nice little construction graphic at <a href="http://hphotography.org/">hphotography.org</a> for so long - ITS GONE!

Down at ALERT, they have a saying regarding the "going gets tough" and as he says, the further they go into Basic, the harder it is becoming. Therefore, I, on behalf of my family and my brothers, am asking for more prayer coverage over each of the guys individually and as a group! :) I cannot completely express to you the importance of this however am trusting and praying that the Lord will show you all.<br /><br />Also, to all of my brothers great encourager's and friends, if you have a moment, please take the time to email/write the guys. :) I know that they would be thrilled to get something from friends back home for it would be such an encouragement to them as the days go by! Here again is the email address - <a href="mailto:alertmen@alertacademy.com">alertmen@alertacademy.com</a> (in the subject line please write Recruit "First and Last Name") You are more then welcome to send letters: <br /><br />International ALERT Academy<br />Recruit (first and last name)<br />One Academy Blvd.<br />Big Sandy, TX 75755<br /><br />Words are not fit enough to express our gratitude to you all for coming alongside of the guys through prayer!

They're trying to use energy as a way to take over the world.</p><p><br /></p><p> Then there's China, which is saying we're going to use communism, plus sort of a Wild West form of a free enterprise. We're going to give nuclear weapons -- or nuclear technology to the Iranians, we're going to buy oil from the Sudanese. You've got China.</p><p><br /></p><p> Then you've got al Qaeda, which says we want to bring everybody down.</p><p><br /></p><p> And then finally there's us, the only major power in the world that says we believe in free enterprise and freedom for the individual. And this great battle is going on right now, and it's essential for us to strengthen other friends like ourselves, and to confront one by one these other strategies and help turn them towards modernity so that the world our kids inherent does not have to know war."</p><p><br /></p>What do you think?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-73311903617124836942008-01-08T10:25:00.000-07:002008-01-08T10:27:39.915-07:00Roger ClemensDo you think Roger Clemens is guilty or innocent?<br /><br />For you who are uneducated, Roger Clemens was accused of using steroids and HGH.

Near the end of The Grand Alliance by WSC, Churchill gives a great Christmas address from the White House balcony in 1941. Here is the end of it:<br /><br />"Let the children have their night of fun and laughter. Let the gifts or Father Christmas delight their play. Let us grown-ups share to the fill in their unstinted pleasures before we turn again to the stern task and the formidable years that lie before us, resolved that, by our sacrifice and daring, there same children shall not be robbed of their inheritance or denied their right to live in a free and decent world.<br /><br />And so, in God's mercy, a happy Christmas to you all."<br /><br />Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!<br /><br />MichaelUnknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-5403551149338059982007-12-07T18:21:00.000-07:002007-12-07T22:49:25.701-07:00Pearl Harbour DayI just finished reading The Grand Alliance - third of Churchill's six volume work called "The Second World War." I thought his recording of his thoughts on Dec. 7, 1941 after he heard the news of Pear Harbour was fitting for today:<br /><br />"No American will think it wrong of me if I proclaim that to have the United States on our side was to me the greatest joy. I could not foretell the course of events. I do not pretend to have measured accurately the martial might of Japan, but now at this very moment I knew the United States was in the war, up to the neck and in to the death. So we had won after all! Yes, after Dunkirk; after the fall of France; after the horrible episode of Oran; after the threat of invasion, when, apart from the Air and the Navy, we were an almost unarmed people; after the deadly struggle of the U-boat war - the first Battle of the Atlantic, gained by a hand's-breadth; after seventeen months of lonely fighting and nineteen months of my responsibility in dire distress, we had won the war. England would live; Britain would live; the Commonwealth of Nations and the Empire would live. How long the war would last or in what fashion it would end, no man could tell, nor did I at this moment care. Once again in our ling Island history we should emerge safe and victorious. We should not be wiped out. Our history would not come to an end. We might not even have to die as individuals. Hitler's fate was sealed. Mussolini's fate was sealed. As for the Japanese, they would be ground to powder. All the rest was merely the proper application of overwhelming force. The British Empire, the Soviet Union, and now the United States, bound together with every scrap of their life and strength, were, according to my lights, twice or even thrice the force of their antagonists. No doubt it would take a long time. I expected terrible forfeits in the East; but all this would be merely a passing phase. United we could subdue everybody else in the world. Many disasters, immeasurable cost and tribulation lay ahead, but there was no more doubt about the end.<br /><br />Silly people - and there were many, not only in enemy countries - might discount the force of the United States. Some said they were soft, others that they would never be united. They would fool around at a distance. They would never come to grips. They would never stand blood-letting. Their democracy and system of recurrent elections would paralyze their war effort. They would be a vague blur on the horizon to friend or foe. New we should see the weakness of this numerous but remote, wealthy, and talkative people. But I had studied the American Civil War, fought out to the last desperate inch. American blood flowed in my veins. I thought of a remark which Edward Grey had made to me more than thirty years before - that the United States is like 'a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lighted under it there is no limit to the power it can generate.' Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful."<br /><br />Forever grateful for those who died so we could be free, I remain sincerely yours,<br /><br />MichaelUnknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-75474622156650676472007-12-03T12:31:00.000-07:002008-12-09T19:59:43.571-07:00Garfield of the day...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-CcP03TGPokv8ENEF9m0FTAj-d8iJUnJF4l4UxATIwyl9v-eCD8eAuaxCM_Wp9elfB5bndV4cZ6N-LC-d3gtkdG33t5jKmDckH4nvp8r-0BrFCaAyb86-e1nEc1dIY0bcwJfrti5LrvV/s1600-r/ga071203.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisi5GwocU1TS53zWr8pny9lNZMZ0SdUYdzNUOpbJwd4ymiCK9J2KwlwRkWfxNr7ciaT-3XhQ4n85S0ZDZYHc_K297AeUvXJBK-87GJavEDv7Mfv8E77MlhifBgm7GIxVvA6iqQbz71CbkI/s400/ga071203.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5139831857754717074" border="0" /></a>Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09389170045519855206noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-87137183312699495462007-11-28T10:23:00.000-07:002007-11-28T10:29:15.416-07:00BOO!!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:900;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">BOO!!</span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-24346550704121253902007-11-01T15:21:00.000-06:002007-11-01T15:26:43.407-06:00H2OYou know, I was thinking as I was drinking water like a camel....what does water taste like?

The thing is, if you're a major league announcer, you need to be able to demonstate verbally the amazing diving catches and the split-second decision making of a plate umpire. But....then again, if you are Jerry Coleman...you don't have to do any of those. You can speak without thinking. Jerry Coleman has been the San Diego Padres radio announcer since 1972. They call his miscues, a "Classic Colemanism." Here are some of his goof-ups:<br /><br />"Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres!"<br /><br />"Johnny Grubb slides into second with a standup double."<br /><br />"That's the fourth extra base hit for the Padres...two doubles and a triple."<br /><br />"Last night's homer was Willie Stargell's 399th career home run, leaving him on shy of 500."<br /><br />"The first pitch to Tucker Ashford is grounded into left field. No, wait a minute. It's ball one. Low and outside."<br /><br />"That's Hendrick's 19th home run. One more and he reaches double figures."<br /><br />"Reggie Smith of the Dodgers and Gary Matthews of the homers hit Braves in that game."<br /><br />"They throw Winfield out at second, but he's safe."<br /><br />And some more just for kicks. These are by Ralph Kiner, the New York Met's announcer:<br /><br />"The Hall of Fame ceremonies are on the 31st and 32nd of July."<br /><br />"On Father's Day, we again wish you all a happy birthday."<br /><br />"If Casey Stengel were alive today, he'd be rolling in his grave."<br /><br />And I'll leave you with the good ol' Yogi Berra.<br /><br />"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17809886813296408737noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-62022472321388915612007-10-21T00:09:00.000-06:002007-10-21T00:11:08.444-06:00Gmail passes 4GB of free spaceI think our first family computer had 32MB.<br /><br />Question: Do they really have that much space for each account filed, or are they betting you will not use all of it?Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08431680407731386798noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074606929079537580.post-30223242483212542732007-10-03T15:36:00.000-06:002007-10-03T15:43:42.007-06:00Whatcha Readin'?<span style="font-family:times new roman;">So, read any good books lately?
