"War is awful and horrendous, tho sometimes necessary...and if many are drawn to the Lord, in this horrendous and scarey time, then yes, it is one good and awesome result of the war..."

I agree.

[CCWoody]

I dont know much about you, so perhaps I am out of line, but I do wonder why you are so contrary about this wonderful picture of a soldier, openly and publicly being baptised....

Its because [FR 5th Amendment].

Woody.

[andysandmikesmom]

OK..This is the second reference to the FR 5th Amendment, and I have no idea what people are talking about or what it refers to...

I mean, I know what the 5th Amendment is, but the (FR 5th Amendment?)....

[restornu]

Well what do you think?

[JesseShurun]

would you rather he was dead so YOU could baptize him? Praise to God, His Son Jesus and the HS, a whole new concept for you

I posted this but my thread got pulled and I was redirected here...I assume I'm supposed to post it here instead? Is that right? Well, here it is!

Pfc. David Kurns is baptized by Task Force Chaplain Capt. Ron Cooper, left, and 1st Lt. Brian Case, right, in the desert north of Kuwait City, Wednesday, March 12. Eight members of the 3rd Infantry Division were baptized in the desert on Wednesday.

Too bad your thread got pulled! Great shots!

I think the thread go moved here because no one on this thread could behave.

[2Jedismom]

Thanks, Hair!

Ping to #47!

[restornu]

Good work!

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, I find hope and joy in it! I wish we could post it in the General Forum and ban the Religion forum people from mucking it up!

[Salvation]

And a Catholic bump too!

Praise the Lord!

(And pass the ammunition) --tongue in cheek--

[Salvation]

**While this is a personal high for this particular soldier, that statement that it is "one of the most awesome results of this war" is stretching a point a mite.**

One soul for God is not to be taken lightly.

Lighten up.

[Salvation]

**The MSNBC story that this picture originally ran with, reported about 80 baptisms a day by soldiers in Kuwait.**

Outstanding!

[Salvation]

What did Cavuto say?

[Salvation]

What are you trying to prove here?

[Salvation]

go away, silly!

Operation Iraqi Freedom

Wednesday, March 26, 2003
By Neil Cavuto


A week ago Wednesday night the war started and ever since I've heard tons of complaints about what we started.

Let me tell you what I see:

I see coalition forces within 50 miles of Baghdad.

I see them controlling two-thirds of a country the size of California.

I see angry Iraqi civilians turning on their own duplicitous soldiers.

I see children getting candy and adults water.

I see the image of U.S. prisoners not scaring our soldiers, but emboldening them.

I see clarity over sandstorms and truth over treachery.

I see countries that mocked us worming their way into life in Iraq after us.

I see second-guessing from wannabe generals who couldn't be more clueless and senseless name-calling from countries who couldn't be more hapless.

I see people without guts criticizing those who are giving their guts.

I see people who've never known a day of battle pontificating on what we should do in battle.

I see Iraqis daring to dream of the democracy they were refused to have and some treacherous Iraqi neighbors fearing the very same democracy they refused to offer.

I see more countries jumping on our bandwagon and others desperate to be on any bandwagon.

I see leaders of countries still condemning us, but investors in those countries still investing in us.

I see markets that will go up and economies that will improve because I see a coalition of the willing, teaching a thing or two to a collection of the pathetic.

I see prisoners and soldiers alike who will come home and a nation who will greet them with open arms and sincere hugs.

I see a hard battle but a great victory.

I see past the sum of our fears, to the whole of our greatness.

And finally I see a great nation defined by the good things it does and not the bad things others say.

I see those who will call me just another Yankee Doodle Dandy. And I see this very grateful journalist more than happy to say, damn right.

[Conservative til I die]

It is my opinion that some of y'all like to bait Mormons. Incessantly.

I don't see the need for it, especially on a thread like this that has absolutely nothing to do with Mormons.

Seriously. This is a ripe thread for Baptist bashing. I'm sure one of them will say something stupid eventually in this thread to offend others.
