I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, One Nation Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All.

[dutchess]

It's Thursday and that means another JohnHuang2 tell it like it is essay at the Finest!!!! ENJOY his take on the Fitzgerald/Libby debacle!!!!

[olezip]

Clearly liberals have a mental disorder! If this kind of nonsense continues to have credibility, our country is doomed! The added transaction complexities, permutations and combinations makes my head hurt! What is wrong with our system to permit such a colossal waste of money and time? Are the power brokers in the media so strong? The enemy within is legion!

[Mrs.Nooseman]

Good Morning Dutchess and Jihn.
Great essay.

Officer Waxworks

READ: John 14:15-24

If you love Me, keep My commandments. —John 14:15

For several years, our family lived in southern California while I was pastoring a church there. The community in which we lived didn’t have the resources to fully patrol the streets with police. So there was a genuine concern about the lack of safety as a result of reckless driving.

In response to the situation, city officials came up with a solution they called Officer Waxworks. These uniformed mannequins were placed in patrol cars alongside the road. Obviously these "officers" couldn’t pursue lawbreakers or write tickets, but just the appearance of "manned" patrol cars was enough to make people slow down. It was a creative way to trick people into obeying the law.

As believers in Christ, we shouldn’t have to be forced or tricked into doing what’s right. In fact, obedience can be drained of its significance if we obey only out of obligation or duty. Our desire should be to do what is pleasing to our Lord because we love Him. Jesus said, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me" (John 14:21). We should "make it our aim . . . to be well pleasing to Him" (2 Cor. 5:9).

Let’s do what’s right out of a heart of gratitude for His grace to us.

Our motive for obedience
When trying to keep God’s ways
Is purest when we seek to please,
To love and give Him praise.  —Sper

Our desire to please God is our highest motive for obeying God.

Bible in One Year:   Leviticus 17-18; Matthew 27:27-50

God Bless Our Military
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to Billie; Aquamarine; Dutchess, The Mayor, DollyCali or GodBlessUSA and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart.

~~~~~~~~~~   ~~~~~~~~~~

We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decisions.

Please give us the strength, Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty, strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Per newly released trial documents, this whole thing got started early in 2002, not with Cheney requesting info about possible Iraqi efforts to buy uranium from Africa, but with the DIA which reported Iraq may have signed a deal to buy uranium from Niger, but the CIA, which dislikes the DIA, wanted to shoot down DIA's report, so CIA desk jockey Valerie Plame gives her husband Joe Wilson the gig but Joe Wilson said his wife had no role in his gig because it was Cheney who sent him to Niger but Cheney denies that because Joe Wilson already got the gig before Cheney got briefed on DIA's report, plus a Senate Intelligence Committee report says Valerie Plame, not Cheney, gave the gig to Joe Wilson who says Rove told Novak about Joe Wilson's wife but Novak says it wasn't Rove because Fitzgerald told Novak it was Armitage because Armitage told Fitzgerald he told Woodward and told Novak who told Rove who says Matthew Cooper asked about Joe Wilson's wife while Marc Grossman told Libby who allegedly told Judith Miller (who didn't write an article about it) that government documents plainly show Valerie Plane sent Joe Wilson to Niger and that she wasn't covert,

John you deserve a medal for explaining all this to us. lol
Outstanding hit piece!

Excellent job on the pic's and graphic's Dutchess, it must have been hard finding them.

Good morning, everyone.

Now they're really singing a different tune, hey?

Hope everyone out there is safe and not being affected too bad by this crazy weather.

[Lady Jag]

"Truth" and "Politics" are mutually exclusive.

And it's turned us all into spies.

[Pippin]

HEE! HEE! HEE!

Hi Beachy and Friends.

It is a gloriously beautiful morning in southern California. It looks like Spring and, as I recall, on some old calendars... spring begins on February 15.

It is very, very chilly cold at night, though.

On Tuesday, about 5:30 p.m., the sunset was shining on the western horizon but the overhead clouds were raining on us. Hence, I saw a big rainbow to the east.

Enjoyed that much.
