I went to www.wnd.com to see the current news our there today and noticed that Chuck Norris now has a commentary on this site.
He talks openly about saying "Merry Christmas." I will refrain from giving my opinion, as I would not want anyone to think that could say anything better then Chuck Norris.
Here is his link to read: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53112
This just proves that Chuck Norris can do anything.

Being Thankful!
Over this time of year we are suppose to take the time to think about the things we are thankful for in our lives. Have you truly done this? If not, take the time right now to think about what and who you are thankful for in your life. Sit back, close your eyes and think about who or what first comes to mind. If it was someone you know then let them know through a letter, phone call, over lunch, but let them know.
We all have people, especially, that we should be thankful for in our lives. There is usually someone that has impacted our lives in one fashion or another. I can think of the college professor who opened up the prospect of a political science degree. Norman Geisler also comes to mind, as he impacted me in the area of apologetics and is the reason why I pursued a Master’s degree in Seminary.
This year I have much to be thankful for in life. I have a gorgeous wife, two beautiful daughters and two great jobs. None of this would be possible had it not been for a couple of people in my life. This year they have helped me in many ways that I will not go into on this blog, but just know if they had not helped who knows where me and my family would be today.
I am thankful for this couple, and I will not use their names, but those who read this and know them will be able to figure it out quickly. This couple has been a major part of my life since I was 21. God used them to help me turn my life around and to return to Christ, as I had walked away from my faith for a time. They encouraged me to go back to school, to go to Seminary and to seek after God with all my heart.
Over the years they have been a shoulder to cry on, a discerning ear and an example of what it means to strive to walk the talk of the Christian faith. They have been an anchor in my life and have always been there when I needed them. They are the first people I go to when making major decisions in my life. If I turn out to be half the Christians they are I would consider it lucky.
As I am encouraging you to do, I have done. I have written them a letter expressing my deep gratitude for their impact on my life. I encourage you to write a letter, as a letter is something that is tangible and intangible. The emotions expressed and felt are intangible, but the letter and words on the page can be looked at, held and read over and over again, making it very tangible.
Make the decision now to write and express your thanks to a loved one in your life. It will be a great blessing to you and the one who receives your letter. If you do not like to write then call or invite them to a meal and let them know, but by all means tell them.
May God bless and keep you all, and may the Grace of God always abound in your life.

Politics -- Schmolitics!!
I received an email from a very good friend today, and I said I had to post his response to the recent election. I have to say he says it very well. I pretty much ditto everything he says. Let me know what you think. All I can say is: PREACH IT MY FRIEND!!!
Mike says,
"ELECTIONS? PARTIES? DEMOCRATS? REPUBLICANS? THEY ALL MAKE ME ILL
THAT INCLUDES THE BIG GOVERNMENT... PRO GAY... PRO ABORTION DONKEYS AS WELL AS THE BIG SPENDING... POWER HUNGRY... BIG BUSINESS ELEPHANTS!
I REFUSE TO BE DEFINED BY ANY PARTY, AFFILIATION OR GROUP BECAUSE I AM NOT A LEFT WING LIBERAL WACKO OR A FENCE SITTING MIDDLE OF THE ROAD INDEPENDENT OR A RIGHT WING RELIGIOUS NUT!
I DON'T CARE WHICH PARTY THE CANDIDATES ARE ALIGNED WITH. I CARE ABOUT THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. I AM A BIBLE BELIEVING, PRO LIFE, SOCIAL AND FISCAL CONSERVATIVE WHO WANTS TO BE REPRESENTED AND LED BY LIKEMINDED PEOPLE!
I AM NOT ABOUT THE PARTY IN POWER, CORPORATE WELFARE, GOVERNMENT GIVEAWAYS, FREE MEDS, BLACK VS WHITE, THE MIDDLE CLASS OR ELDERLY ENTITLEMENTS. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A TIME FOR CHARITY AND THERE IS A TIME FOR RESPONSIBILITY HOWEVER, IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE BASED ON THE DIRECTION OFFERED THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES WHICH LEAD PEOPLE TOWARD SALVATION AND ETERNAL SECURITY (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SOCIAL SECURITY). WITHOUT FACTORING IN BIBLICAL TEACHING, REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS WILL SURELY PERISH IN A GODLESS NATION.
ALONG THOSE LINES, HOW ABOUT THESE MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENTS...
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
LEAVE YOUR RELIGION AT THE DOOR
REMOVING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS FROM PUBLIC PLACES
REMOVING PRAYER FROM OUR SCHOOLS
REMOVING THE NATIVITY SCENE AND CHRIST FROM CHRISTMAS
SILENCING ALL "BIGOTED", "ANTI-PROGRESSIVE", BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS
GAY MARRIAGES AND ADOPTIONS
40 MILLION ABORTIONS...AND COUNTING
LARGEST DEFICITS IN HISTORY
SOON TO BE BANKRUPT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE PROGRAMS
CHEAPER, FASTER, MORE PLENTIFUL MIND NUMBING MEDS FOR AMERICANS
DEPRESSION AND CHILD SUICIDE RATES
RECORD HIGH CREDIT CARD AND PERSONAL DEBT
CEO PAY AT ALL TIME HIGH VS AVERAGE WORKER
STOCK FRAUD AND CORPORATE FRAUD
BILL CLINTON, TED KENNEDY, MARK FOLEY, TOM DELAY
UNFORTUNATELY, I COULD GO ON FOR HOURS...
FORTUNATELY, THANKFULLY AND REST ASSUREDLY, THERE IS A PARTY OF LIKEMINDED PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT WE WILL ALIGN OURSELVES WITH SOMEDAY (SOON I HOPE) AND THAT IS TRULY SOMETHING WORTH CELEBRATING!
SEE YOU THERE -- MIKE"
I leave you with this:
Jean-Peirre De Caussade says, "God allows himself to be seen in ordinary things, even when they are darkened by shadows."
Unti next time.
