More US soldiers die from suicide than combat.

More U.S. soldiers and veterans have died from suicide than from combat wounds over the past two years.
Ashley says her husband Jared tried to come to grips with what he'd seen and done on his eight deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"And there's no way that any God would forgive him - that he was going to hell," says Ashley. "He couldn't live with that any more."

Why the Bush family invaded Iraq

John Perkins is an economic "hit-man" exceptionally well qualified to speak on the topic.

Diesel engine

Excellent video but someone mislabeled it as a diesel engine. Diesel engines don't have spark plugs but other than that it is great demonstration of how a gasoline engine works. ~Clayton Thurlow

Al & Rosemary - A Dynamic Duo

Al & Rosemary had children and were divorced after their spouses left them. Al said to God, "I picked out the last [wife]. Lord, You pick out this one." She was 29 and Al was 42 when they married. 

When he proposed, Rosemary said, "Yes" with the condition that she put away his engagement ring and get to know Al for a year.  If for any reason either wanted out, they could do so. Rosemary believes this one-year test is biblical, yet it was very hard on him. 

I asked if their children tried to put a wedge between them. She said that was a real problem. It took great trust in God for them to stand as a team. Eventually his children learned to love her, but that took some time.  

Al is active at 85 and is still farming early till late six days a week. He eats mostly vegetarian with fish three times a week and other meat about three or four times a year. "

Incestuous Marriage

Muslims have a religion that has its goal of conquering the whole world for Islam, and terrible punishments for “sinning,” like the cutting off of hands for petty thievery, stoning for infidelity, and beheading for whatever; we cannot take them at their word because for them it is ok to lie to non-believers, so swearing allegiance to our constitution may not be a real commitment to “assimilate” and tolerate the rest of us; and it is part of Muslim heritage to get accepted by foreign lands, and when they get enough votes, convert the foreign lands into Muslim territories. Now we find that they have a high chance of limited brain function and may not understand that we may object to some of their cherished beliefs.

Ida Bruno's 100th Birthday Celebration

We took this photo in 2006 when Auntie Ida came to visit her brother (Grandpa).

The purpose of civil government is to punish evil-doers; and encourage those who do right.

This short video clip exposes the elaborate gifts for refugees, purchased with your tax dollars so that they can live higher than the rest of us. It is NOT the civil government's job to help the foreigners among us. It is the church's job to assist our neighbors in need. The great mission would give the church great influence.

Adventurous Femininity

"The exhortation to young women is clear: do not pursue a brand of femininity that is so obsessed with its own girliness that you cannot get your hands dirty with real service for Christ." ~ BlueBehomoth.com

WCWC 2011 ~ Notes from John Hodges

“There are things in this world which deserve our awe.”

- Dr.John Hodges

Diana West wrote The Death of the Grown Up. Our culture holds up perpetual immaturity and childishness as a sign of coolness and sophistication.

Wisdom of the old paths. Learn from elders & their books. “Honor your father and your mother...” If you think you invented Christianity, you’re living in fairy land. The Faith is passed on through the generations.

Progressivism: The latest is the best. We need the correction of our fathers and mothers. Anytime you cross an immature person you create a scene--much like the teachers throwing a temper-tantrum and marching on Madison. Now if the poor got up and protested against high taxes for businesses, I would sit up and listen.

Honey Bee Wax Glands

Bees excrete wax from wax glands in their abdomen. With rear legs they pull off and mold the wax with their mouth. It is a most efficient way to make the perfect wax hexagon.

Biblical Elders by Alexander Strauch

I asked Kevin Swanson what he thinks about the one-man show where the pastor is the authority in the church. 

He said it starts out a triangle, then collapses into a one man authority like a pope. He recommends Biblical Elders by Alexander Strauch.

Churches must be decentralized. We need a plurality of teaching elders. We must equip the fathers to instruct their own children in the ways of God not send them off to a youth group. ~Lance
