prayer | requests Please pray for our children. Our children are seeing so much trial in
their lives and can easily be deceived as they look for a way in life. They
need to know how much their creator thinks of them. That is true self-worth.
Also, pray for marriages and couples. The God of love
is not a God of breakup and selfishness. And, oh yea, this covenant is HOLY.
Pray for our soldiers risking all for us.
Pray for our nation. Pray for our President and the members of our Senate
and Congress.
Pray for the sick, injured, homeless and helpless. Give thanks.

our nation
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement:
"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

Editorial: Air Space
(Please write your Senator and Congressman)
This more than anything must explain why the airlines have exhaustively
lobbied for general aviation to pay for the problem of airline hub saturation,
but when NextGen also benefits defense industry corporate pockets it is probably
candy store irresistible to the Bush administration. Why else would we take an
ATC system that offers inherent safety for no additional cost and convert it to
a system that charges more and more for increasing levels of safety? And why
would we use a single system of communication delivery that is prone to solar
anomalies and cosmic debris when we already have a multitude of messaging
systems built across this country offering inherent levels of redundancy? And
finally why hasn’t the FAA already implemented the only user’s fee that makes
sense and enhances air safety –the prime time fee for airlines crowding hubs
with logistically impossible schedules?

Despite having to rebuild many of its

our heritage|american history|muslims It is from the Marine Corps’ role in that first conflict with Muslim
terrorists from 1801-1805 that the opening line of the Marine Hymn is
derived: “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. . .” The Legendary Barbary coast Pirates were muslim
terrorists continually capturing our sea going vessels. Ransoms were paid
for sailors as far back as President Washington. Tripoli was a home port of
these muslims. Before Washington left office he began building a Navy to
help deal with this problem.
When Thomas Jefferson became President in 1801, having personally dealt with
the Muslim Barbary Powers for almost two decades, he had already concluded
that there were only three solutions to the terrorist problem: (1) pay the
extortion money, (2) keep all American ships out of international waters
(which would destroy American commerce), or (3) use military force to put an
end to the attacks.

who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement, and at
the worst , if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his
place shall never be with those cold timid souls who have never known
neither victory nor defeat."
