     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.

Bellevue, Washington – PACCAR donated a Peterbilt Model 387 truck to East Mississippi Community College (EMCC) for use in the school’s commercial vehicle drivers’ training program. Lex Lemmers, PACCAR engine plant manager, made the announcement in a ceremony held on the school’s Golden Triangle Campus in Mayhew, Mississippi, and presented the keys to Dr. Rick Young, EMCC president. "PACCAR is pleased to make this donation to enhance the innovative educational leadership at East Mississippi Community College. EMCC is a great partner and has supported PACCAR as we establish ourselves in Mississippi and the Golden Triangle area," said Lemmers. "This donation demonstrates PACCAR’s commitment to give back to the community," said Dr. Young. "The Golden Triangle region and the state of Mississippi are fortunate to have a company of PACCAR’s caliber contribute to our educational initiatives," added Young. PACCAR is building a 400,000-square-foot engine plant near Columbus, Mississippi. The $400 million facility will be one of the most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly commercial vehicle diesel engine facilities in North America. "We have been working closely with EMCC developing extensive training programs for future PACCAR employees," said Lance Walters, assistant plant manager. "We have established offices at EMCC and are pleased to be able to utilize these excellent facilities and work with their professional staff of educators." click here

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."

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

ever we have comes thru a creator.
Don't deceive yourself. You did not create
yourself.
If we are greatful we will thank Him.

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?

   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.
