-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke, chapter 1 1: Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2: Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3: It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most ...

It is not the job of public schools to preach. Christians need to be out in society sharing the good news of salvation through having Christ as your lord and savior. I do not believe that evolution has proven its case. In fact every day we see evidence that there is no scientific basis for this ideology. This lack of evidence, however, does not mean that we, Christians, can demand that a government entity espouse our beliefs. I see this effort to have “Intelligent Design” in ...

It is not over. We do not have the luxury of resting. It would have been great if our generation could of gone on about its business working and forging a life. However, a different legacy was given to us. In these days humanity, itself, is in danger. Terrorist, cooperate greed, teen age parenthood, drugs, tyrants, natural disasters, illegal immigration, dysfunctional public education systems, corrupt and/or political ambitious politicians, negligent parents, and all the other soci...

The Case Against Illegal Immigrants. The fight is not just against people from Mexico. It is against all people who enter the USA illegally. The majority are from Mexico. They claim they are coming to pursue economic opportunities that do not exist in their country. This is a lie. Many Mexicans are part of an expanding and thriving Mexican Economy and do very well without migrating to the USA.. What you have is a lot of people who do not want to meet the challenges of advanci...

POLITICS OF POVERTY In Hong Kong people are protesting big business as an ill that hurts average workers and the poor. I ask why are they poor and don't you know the world keeps advancing and progressing and the only way to provide for your self is to become prepared to participate in real job market. I think that we all, regardless of our personal reality, have the personal responsibility to take care our daily needs. RELIGION This next comments brings sadness to my heart. ...

IMMIGRATION You shouldn't reward people who by their mere presence have prooven that they have no respect for your laws. If you are going to initiate a guest worker program first charge a comfortable fee (tax) to applicants and restrict people who have already entered illegally from applying for a guest worker visa. I say that part of the problem is the quality,or lack there of, of the law enforcement agents who have the responsibility of arresting illegal immigrants. I see to man...

Every now and again we see a news story that makes us wonder about justice and fairness. Over the last week the news story of Stanely Tookie Williams has described the issue as one of the wrongful punishment of an innocent victim of society and as the integrity of systems of justice. Mr. Williams was a poor black man that grew up in an environment were environmental influences contributed to him forming one of the most notorious gangs in America. In addition, Mr. Williams was tried b...

In case you forgotten crazy people are planning your destruction. Just because you have had a small time of peace does not mean that the enemy has gone in to hiding. Even if the troops are pulled out of Iraq it will not mean that the war on terrorism is over. Saddam with biological and chemical weapons and a willing terrorist customer base was a big threat to the people of the United States of America. In relation to the poor and congress' cuts in programs to the poor I can only ...

In life, any one came have a melt down. It is unfortunate if this melt down happens in public. However, life goes on. Well almost. In this america once you have been seen in your underwear you are an outcast and not worthy of mingling with the locals. This week people in America have seen Mr. Tom Benson and Ms. Harriet Miers suffer public ridicule. I sense that most people in America hate people who could be called rich. They definitely hate strong leaders. Mr. Benson may regr...

Through the devastation of hurricane Katrina I have learned several things. The first thing I learned was how far people have really moved from God. I became aware of the hurricane listening to Fox News station on AM radio. First, let me say I consider these late night commentators trying to prove aliens exist a compete waste of time. I get home from my business feeling as if I accomplished nothing. Now, I realize that at least I am not hiding from life by searching for, ghost, monst...

It may appear like insanity has taken over, but it has not. The news media, in my opinion, shines the light on issues they believe will given them audience for the commercials they run during news programs. It is a business and like all businesses, it needs to make money. In addition, it is a business with, in my opinion, many liberals working in it. Furthermore, I think that these liberals have a specific agenda of homosexual marriages, abortion support, and fixing social problems wi...

I am not a supporter of evolution. I do have a Bachelor of Science. I would like an evolutionist to explain to me a fossil they bug up. It is of dinosaur print, a trilobite, and a human foot. If the trilobite was extinct before the dinosaur and the dinosaur was extinct before the human being how do evolutionist explain this fossil that has the trilobite and the human foot print on the dinosaur print.

Nationality is not an illness that incapacitates. I am writing this article to respond to news report that the National Democratic Party Chairman is accusing the republicans of preparing to make immigration an escape goat in the next presidential elections. Let me first state my background. I was born in the city of Juarez, which is in the state of Chihuahua, in the country of Mexico. Since I was four years old, I have lived the majority of my life in El Paso, Texas, USA. Further...

ONLINE SHOPPING Link The perfect life is one where you are in tune to the reality of life. It is great to dream. However, trying to fulfill your dreams when the environmental resources are not there leads to frustration and disillusion. In my opinion, what makes life difficult is the battle between unexplainable emotions and current philosophy. We all have an idea about our position in life. Sometimes we find ourselves without the spirit to invest the necessary energy to succeed...

Innocent until the news media makes you appear guilty by repeating over and over allegations against you. Today, Mr. George Bush posted the American ambassador to the United States of America. The news media I observed could only keep mentioning that Mr. Bolton has criticized the United Nations and that he has been accused of abusing his authority in relation to his subordinates. I used to think you were innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. As far as Mr. Bolton’s critic...
