Well, here is an update.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are still connected to this blog and get a notification that I have posted something please take a few deep breaths and then slowly exhale.  Yes, I am still alive and doing well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been through a lot in the last 5 years and I am now 66.  I have recovered enough to return to the racquetball courts and can still compete with the 20 year olds.  ( Not all of them but most of them anyhow )  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now have 3 married children and a fouth will be married in Sept.   I am up to 11 grandkids and counting.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we all need to pay close attention to life.  There are some great things coming.  Good and bad.  Soon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comment if you are so inclined.

They can only drop a few bombs.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can expect that if Israel attacks (and it will because it cannot allow itself to be nuked) it will be left up to the US to clean up the mess.  Here is a report from Ralph Peters of the New York Times  that explains what all is involved in bombing Iran.  Bottom line ?  You better do it right.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Take out Iran's air-defense and intelligence network to protect our attacking aircraft.&lt;br /&gt;* Take down its national communications network to degrade its military reaction.&lt;br /&gt;* Strike dozens of dispersed nuclear-related targets - some of them in hardened underground facilities, with others purposely placed in populated areas.&lt;br /&gt;* Hit every anti-ship-missile installation along Iran's Persian Gulf coast and the Straits of Hormuz. The reflexive Iranian response to an attack would be to launch sea-skimmer missiles against oil tankers and Western warships. The Iranians know that oil's now the world's Achilles heel.&lt;br /&gt;* Destroy Iran's naval capacity, including small craft, in the first 24 hours to prevent attacks on shipping (expect suicide attacks, too).&lt;br /&gt;* Immediately take out all of Iran's long-range and intermediate-range missiles - not just those that could strike Israel, but those that could hit Saudi, gulf-state or Iraqi oil refineries, pipelines, port facilities and oil fields . . . or our installations in the region.&lt;br /&gt;* Hit the military's key command centers in Tehran, as well as regional headquarters, with special attention to the Revolutionary Guards' infrastructure.&lt;br /&gt;* Expect three to six weeks of intense air and naval fighting, followed by months of skirmishing and asymmetrical warfare. And Iraq will heat back up, too.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screw up the effort, and today's oil prices will double or triple, with severe downstream shortages showing up in a matter of weeks - every oil tanker's insurance will be canceled immediately, even if the Straits of Hormuz remain open (unlikely).&lt;br /&gt;And we'll be in the global doghouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that this is a conservative estimate.   I think Venezuela will suspend oil along with Nigeria and other world wide disruptions.  The enemy has a strangle hold on the world.  You can expect suicide bombers in Iraq and Israel.  You can expect kidnappings all around the world. There would be a world wide reaction of Jihadist forces.  But all in all we probably won't have any other alternative.

&lt;br /&gt;0% rating with the National Right to Life Committee and 100% rating with NARAL Pro-Choice America&lt;br /&gt;Co-Sponsor of the "Freedom of Choice Act" (S.1173), legislation that would nullify nearly all state and federal limitations on abortion, including the federal ban on partial-birth abortion, parental notification laws and waiting periods. It would also allow for taxpayer funding of abortions. Obama told members of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund at their conference, "Well, the first thing I'd do as president is, is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing I'd do." (July 17, 2007)&lt;br /&gt;Voted against an amendment to allow states to provide health insurance for an unborn child through the federal State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). (August 2, 2007, Roll Call No. 302)&lt;br /&gt;Opposed the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act as an Illinois State Senator, legislation intended to protect babies who survived abortions. Obama spoke against the bill and voted against it three times. President Bush signed a federal version of this legislation in 2002.&lt;br /&gt;Criticized Gonzales v. Carhart, the Supreme Court ruling upholding the federal ban on partial-birth abortion, saying, "I strongly disagree with today's Supreme Court ruling. . .I am extremely concerned that this ruling will embolden state legislatures to enact further measures to restrict a woman's right to choose, and that the conservative Supreme Court justices will look for other opportunities to erode Roe v. Wade, which is established federal law and a matter of equal rights for women."&lt;br /&gt;Endorsed by the two major abortion organizations: NARAL Pro-Choice America and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-2923440540953206552?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/2923440540953206552/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=2923440540953206552' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2923440540953206552'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2923440540953206552'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/07/obama-on-abortion.html' title='Obama On Abortion'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SHT4aPMZq-I/AAAAAAAAAOU/5MIKRmj5fbY/s72-c/1215458897.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-4670104484610126289</id><published>2008-07-08T13:53:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-07-08T14:09:07.439-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barack Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abortion'/><title type='text'>Barack Obama Will Make You Pay For Other's Abortions</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SHO4FHcN1uI/AAAAAAAAAOM/ni6_hLOTEK4/s1600-h/1215458897.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SHO4FHcN1uI/AAAAAAAAAOM/ni6_hLOTEK4/s400/1215458897.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220718791088789218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack's new health plan includes abortion.   The Chicago Tribune reported last year, when Senator Obama was "asked about his proposal for expanded access to health insurance, Obama said it would cover 'reproductive health services.'  Contacted afterward, an Obama spokesperson said that included 'abortions.'   The Obama campaign does not deny Senator Obama supports taxpayer funded abortions.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Although in recent days Senator Obama has tried to downplay his extremist views on abortion, his own Presidential website says, "...he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women's rights under Roe v. Wade a priority as President."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minnesota citizens already pay for 45 babies to be killed every day.   This is Minnesota state law.   Now, under Obama, we would be required to pay for 4,000 more every day.  How can we be forced to pay for the destruction of innocent life?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad thing is that McCain is just as bad.  When will this end ?  Where will it end?  True Justice is on His way.

There is no reason for this because they were justified when they were given tax-exempt status by the state.  Ramsey County officials have not given a reason yet for the aggressive and hostile move towards established religion.  To threaten to revoke tax-exempt status for non compliance to their request is nothing less than harassment by bureaucratic anti-religious officials according to legal experts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alliance Defense Fund has filed a lawsuit.   The entire thing looks like a fishing expedition by the County Assessor to increase the county's property tax intake.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=125798"&gt;More here. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-4102160375691809798?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/4102160375691809798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=4102160375691809798' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4102160375691809798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4102160375691809798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/05/ramsey-county-harasses-churches-in.html' title='Ramsey County Harasses Churches In Minnesota'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SED0c6zYGxI/AAAAAAAAANU/xWz39E4dUvo/s72-c/taxes_2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-2314856194626037753</id><published>2008-05-30T20:13:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-30T20:32:31.099-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Laminin'/><title type='text'>What Substance Is Holding Us All Together?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SECoOazYGwI/AAAAAAAAANM/3hnUoVmQ_WM/s1600-h/laminin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SECoOazYGwI/AAAAAAAAANM/3hnUoVmQ_WM/s400/laminin.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206346134906739458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever heard of Laminin?

They are calling it a fog bow.   Here is the text from &lt;a href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html"&gt;the web site I saw this on.&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Explanation: What is that white arch over the water? What is being seen is a fogbow, a reflection of sunlight by water drops similar to a rainbow but without the colors. The fog itself is not confined to an arch -- the fog is mostly transparent but relatively uniform. The fogbow shape is created by those drops with the best angle to divert sunlight to the observer. The fogbow's relative lack of colors are caused by the relatively smaller water drops. The drops active above are so small that the quantum mechanical wavelength of light becomes important and smears out colors that would be created by larger rainbow water drops acting like small prisms reflecting sunlight. The above striking image of a fogbow was taken last week with the Sun behind the photographer. The rocks in the foreground are part of Ocean Beach in California, USA.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-8957270316194739416?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/8957270316194739416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=8957270316194739416' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/8957270316194739416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/8957270316194739416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/05/fogbow.html' title='Fogbow'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SD8Hq8plnsI/AAAAAAAAANE/f3DnsZ51wjI/s72-c/fogbow_keith_big.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-3718132414041204521</id><published>2008-05-22T22:14:00.010-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-23T21:14:30.364-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jeremiah Wright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='James Cone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Communism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='black liberation theology'/><title type='text'>Barack Hussein Obama &amp; Black Liberation Theology</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SDZE8MplnrI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Y23Cw_lOQZc/s1600-h/asif.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SDZE8MplnrI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Y23Cw_lOQZc/s400/asif.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203422220451684018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An African American neighborhood kid that grew up in my yard with my kids recently told my son that he thought that Obama was the anti-christ.  I don't think Obama is the anti-christ but he will do until the real one comes along.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was, at first, just something that I could not put my finger on about Obama.  He was, "too popular."   People did not seem to be reasoning correctly about his bid for president.   He was clearly not mature enough to lead this country.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then, the media made him their darling.  It was as if nothing he said or did was being parsed.  But I passed this off as just simply the "liberal" press.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, now it all comes together.   &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Black liberation theology !&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   That is what he stands for.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the 80's I made a trip to the Honduras / Nicaragua border to bring some rice and black beans to some starving Mosquito Indian refugees living there.  They were fleeing from the Sandinista government who was killing them as enemies of the state.  It was what was known back then as a Contra camp.  It was an amazing adventure.  During that trip I, as a young pastor, found out about "liberation theology."   I actually did a report on what I studied and learned for our denomination.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The keynote of this theology pictures Jesus as not only Savior but also the liberator of the oppressed.   Think communist socialism.  Think about Che Guevera  replacing Jesus on the cross.  Think about violent revolution as a doctrine of Christianity.   A counter part of this Latino liberation theology was the new urban USA "black liberation theology."   Black Muslims and Christians working together for violent revolution.   Maybe it is not "violent" anymore, but it is about revolution.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what Obama and his wife believe.  This is who they are.   This is their background.  This is what his church was all about.  This is why his pastor says, "God damn America."   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?RsrcID=2036"&gt;Here is a great video that has been watched by over 2 million people&lt;/a&gt;.  Let's hope everyone in the USA watches it.   The "theologian" James Cone who Hannity is asked by Jeremiah Wright if he has ever read, has said that the antichrist is the white Christian body.  &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNTGRL0OJWQ"&gt;Here is the entire interview with Hannity and Wright. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This needs to be shouted from the housetops.   The church needs to explain what is wrong with "liberation theology."  &lt;br /&gt;When the Catholic church discovered that its house was full of people who believed this they cleaned house.   It is totally not the doctrine of grace, mercy, and love.   It is racist at best and communist antichrist at worst.   As the world drifts from orthodoxy it is heading for the great apostasy, if it doesn't crash on the hidden rocks first.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-3718132414041204521?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/3718132414041204521/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=3718132414041204521' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/3718132414041204521'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/3718132414041204521'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/05/barack-hussein-obama-black-liberation.html' title='Barack Hussein Obama &amp; Black Liberation Theology'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SDZE8MplnrI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Y23Cw_lOQZc/s72-c/asif.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-5221488950177389912</id><published>2008-05-20T03:30:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-05-20T03:43:29.415-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='violence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='madrassa'/><title type='text'>Minnesota Charter School Turned Madrassa Attacks Channel 5 News</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SDKPF9W-NUI/AAAAAAAAAM0/JuZjb_4Gpzg/s1600-h/images.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SDKPF9W-NUI/AAAAAAAAAM0/JuZjb_4Gpzg/s400/images.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202377852099376450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The charter school that was operating as an Islamic Madrassa teaching Islam to students in Inver Grove Heights was visited by a channel 5 (KSTP) news crew today.

From time to time I am going to post about heros I have met or heard about.  I don't have many heros and the ones I do have are usually are not the types of heros that most would choose to emulate.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todays hero just happens to be the governor of Alaska.  She is a 44 year old Republican, but I guess you have to be in &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;some sort of party&lt;/span&gt; to get elected.   She just found out that she is pregnant.   That is always good news.   Here is the story.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Alaska governor eager to rear child&lt;br /&gt;May 5, 2008 &lt;br /&gt;JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — The results of Gov. Sarah Palin's prenatal testing were in, and the doctor's tone was ominous: "You need to come to the office so we can talk about it." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mrs. Palin, known for a resolve that quickly launched her from suburban hockey mom to a player on the national political stage, said, "No, go ahead and tell me over the phone." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The physician replied, "Down syndrome," stunning the Republican governor, who had just completed what many political analysts called a startling first year in office. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She had arrived at the Capitol on an ethics-reform platform after defeating the incumbent Republican in the primary and a former two-term Democratic governor in the general election. Her growing reputation as a maverick for bucking her party's establishment and Alaska's powerful oil industry quickly gained her a national reputation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now she is trying to balance caring for her special-needs child and running a state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The doctor's announcement in December, when Mrs. Palin was four months pregnant, presented her with a possible life- and career-changing development. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've never had problems with my other pregnancies, so I was shocked," said Mrs. Palin, a mother of four other children. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It took awhile to open up the book that the doctor gave me about children with Down syndrome, and awhile to log on to the Web site and start reading facts about the situation." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 44-year-old governor waited a few days before telling her husband, Todd, who was out of town, so she could understand what was ahead for them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once her husband got the news, he told her: "We shouldn't be asking, 'Why us?' We should be saying, 'Well, why not us?' " &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was never any doubt the Palins would have the child, and on April 18 she gave birth to Trig Paxson Van Palin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We've both been very vocal about being pro-life," Mrs. Palin said. "We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Down syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome in the fetus' cells. It's a genetic abnormality that impedes physical, intellectual and language development. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mother's age is a large factor in the chances of having a child afflicted with Down syndrome. Once a woman turns 40, the chance is 1 out of 100, according to the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three days after giving birth, Mrs. Palin returned to work in her Anchorage office, accompanied by Trig and her husband. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was not a mother's typical visit to the office to show off the new baby; instead, she was serving notice that a child of special needs would not hinder her professional commitments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's a sign of the times to be able to do this," she said. "There is no reason to believe a woman can't do it with a growing family. My baby will not be at all or in any sense neglected." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither, Mrs. Palin said, will the state, as she prepares to lead deliberations for a multibillion-dollar natural-gas pipeline.

The Israeli Supreme Court has ruled that Christian Jews have the same right of return as any other Jews. The court has ordered that the persecution of Christian Jews must stop.  This is in response to a lawsuit by 12 Jews who had been denied the right to return to live in Israel because they were Christians and suspected of "missionary activity"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though any other type of Jew has been allowed, even atheists, Christians have been denied entrance by the department of Interior.

Animal control was called and picked the bird up but when they reached for it and wrapped it in a towel you could see that it had a beak like a woodpecker with a slight curve downward to it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Animal Control guy didn't know what it was and I suggested that it was some type of woodpecker.   We looked in his bird book but found nothing that looked like it under "woodpeckers".  After I finished up downtown I went online to see what kind of bird it might be.  After an hour of looking I could not find anything that matched it.  So I called Animal Control to see if they knew what it was now that they had brought it in.   I found out that they had transferred the bird to the Golden Valley Humane Society.   They have a bird recovery hospital.  I called Golden Valley and got a recorded announcement.  so I left a message.  They nicely called me back and told me that this was a Northern Flicker.   I had looked at many pictures of Northern Flickers and none of them looked like my bird.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then they told me that it was a Yellow-Shafted Northern Flicker.  (Vs. Red-Shafted West of the Rockies.)  It seems the two species have been in-breeding now for many generations and there are many, many variations.   Anyhow, &lt;a href="http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Northern_Flicker_dtl.html"&gt;I found a picture and a web site &lt;/a&gt;and finally confirmed that this bird today  was a Yellow-Shafted Flicker.  It was interesting.  At least to me...;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-4869183096168165096?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Northern_Flicker_dtl.html' title='Northern Yellow-Shafted Flicker (Woodpecker)'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/4869183096168165096/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=4869183096168165096' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4869183096168165096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4869183096168165096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/04/northern-yellow-shafted-flicker.html' title='Northern Yellow-Shafted Flicker (Woodpecker)'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SAUz1JMzghI/AAAAAAAAALs/HmLtBqfgA9c/s72-c/FKT_040302_00363B_L.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-1880083814294015444</id><published>2008-04-14T18:10:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-04-14T18:46:13.960-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Luke 21:25'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Phobos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='End of the world'/><title type='text'>Maranatha  Come Lord Jesus</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SAPrqpMzggI/AAAAAAAAALk/Jmu5hj7WYxk/s1600-h/phobos2_hirise_big.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/SAPrqpMzggI/AAAAAAAAALk/Jmu5hj7WYxk/s400/phobos2_hirise_big.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189250313507537410" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 21:25   "And there will be strange events in the skies-signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. 26 The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. 27 Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory.  28 So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could account for this sort of thing happening in our solar system?   How could the "very heavens be broken up"?   What would account for "strange tides'?   What kind of signs will these be?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it will be the nearest moon to Mars, Phobos, crashing into the planet and causing catastrophic devastation?   It is bound to do so.  It is truly a death moon,  It's days are limited.  Nobody knows how limited but yet all know that it will happen someday.  Imagine the result.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phobos (fear) rotates around Mars at about 5,800 kilometers above the surface.   That is only less than 3000 miles.   Roughly the distance between Minneapolis and Alaska.  Compare that to our moon that rotates at the distance of roughly 250,000 miles.  &lt;br /&gt;Now you see why gravity will win soon on Mars.   Is this the physical cause of the above scripture?   Hmmm?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photo above is a very high resolution photo of Phobos.

They politely refused.  They got sued.  The state Human Rights Commission fined them $6000.  The case is on appeal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our friend, Jordan Lorence with the Alliance Defense Fund, defended the photographers. Because of the aggressiveness of homosexual activists,  Jordan believes that this is the sort of thing that will result from new non-discrimination laws passed in 19 states.  These laws are being used as weapons against Christian businesses and churches.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Federal government is now trying to pass some new non-discrimination laws.  It is called the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act.  It will probably have a chilling effect upon Christianity in America as it is used against those who believe in the word of God.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.elanephotography.com/"&gt;Here is Elaine Photography's web site. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=75547"&gt;Here is more about this item. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-2743840008087745400?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/2743840008087745400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=2743840008087745400' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2743840008087745400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2743840008087745400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/04/photographer-fined-6000-for-not-taking.html' title='Photographer Fined $6000 For NOT Taking Pictures At A Wedding !'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R__CqFRXIII/AAAAAAAAALc/wNSuLVJucKo/s72-c/weddings-in-vienna-11.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-4032574588039266767</id><published>2008-04-11T03:09:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2008-04-11T03:14:34.780-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eye Candy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='God'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='galaxies'/><title type='text'>Eye Candy 17</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_8dF1RXIHI/AAAAAAAAALU/0zW676UNmao/s1600-h/M104b_peris2048.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_8dF1RXIHI/AAAAAAAAALU/0zW676UNmao/s400/M104b_peris2048.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187897281790550130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just another galaxy.

It is rare phenomenon called a "Fire Rainbow" &lt;br /&gt;She says, " THIS IS A FIRE RAINBOW - THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC &lt;br /&gt;PHENOMENA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE PICTURE WAS CAPTURED THIS WEEK ON THE IDAHO/WASHINGTON BORDER &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE EVENT LASTED ABOUT 1 HOUR. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CLOUDS HAVE TO BE CIRRUS, AT LEAST 20K FEET IN THE AIR, WITH JUST THE RIGHT &lt;br /&gt;AMOUNT OF ICE CRYSTALS AND THE SUN HAS TO HIT THE CLOUDS AT PRECISELY 58 &lt;br /&gt;DEGREES. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty cool.  But Lynn and I were flying to Memphis at night in a full moon about 2 weeks ago and I saw something that I did not know even existed.   I saw this same phenomenon in a humidity type cloud at night that was occurring as a result of the reflection of the light from the sun off of the full moon.   A reflection fire rainbow so to speak.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's my point?  (Why do I always have to make a point?  Can't I just babble on like the rest of the world?)   My point is this. ...&lt;br /&gt;Even the reflected glory of God as seen in the church (moon) contains in it the very promises of God.  We truly are the body of Christ.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or something like that.  Anyhow, it blessed me to the center of my heart.

If you asked, "What is that for?" you were told it was for a PKU test.   But what you were not told is that this blood then became the property of the State and it was added to their library of genetic information about your baby.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does that mean?  It means that, in the future, they will be able to clone your baby.  It means that they can now tag your baby for genetic reasons and include or exclude your baby from programs and events.  It means that they are probably tracking to see if your child is "genetically inclined to be a homosexual."    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This information must not belong to the state.  It reeks of experimentation and nazi potential.  &lt;br /&gt;Here is what you need to know:&lt;br /&gt;--The PKU test is NOT required, you can “opt out” (but this puts the burden on you and not the State)&lt;br /&gt;--You can have the PKU test done at a private facility&lt;br /&gt;--If you’ve already had the PKU test done and don’t feel good about allowing the state to keep and use your kid’s DNA you can have the test and results destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time, you can have the State destroy the PKU test and results by submitting a form found here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/fh/mcshn/nbsopt.htm#forms"&gt;http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/fh/mcshn/nbsopt.htm#form&lt;/a&gt;s&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;More information on the PKU test can be found here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/fh/mcshn/nbshome.htm"&gt;http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/fh/mcshn/nbshome.ht&lt;/a&gt;m&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A related youtube video can be found here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBu6Tpvq_9w&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us all be "as wise as a serpent and as gentle as a dove"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-9097039545078049051?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=60643' title='The Government Owns Your Child&apos;s DNA In Minnesota'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/9097039545078049051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=9097039545078049051' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/9097039545078049051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/9097039545078049051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/04/government-owns-your-childs-dna-in.html' title='The Government Owns Your Child&apos;s DNA In Minnesota'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_aFTVrFkoI/AAAAAAAAAK4/lCljQZU28nw/s72-c/dnatwo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-6727323606092893152</id><published>2008-04-04T13:56:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2008-04-04T14:13:26.047-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mcdonald&apos;s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='homosexuality'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='boycott'/><title type='text'>Pink Arches</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_Z9MlrFknI/AAAAAAAAAKw/iGEJbMV81wY/s1600-h/GoldenArches.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_Z9MlrFknI/AAAAAAAAAKw/iGEJbMV81wY/s400/GoldenArches.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185469676188439154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I just learned that the Asian Salad at McDonald's was very good I will not be buying anything there for quite some time.  I cannot and will not support any corporate group that promotes and supports the homosexual agenda.   McDonald's has now openly come out and said that they will actively support homosexuality.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McDonald's grew from it's support of the American family.  Now, the corporate geniuses have decided to support the gays whose agenda will destroy the American family.  People, once they hear about this, will be staying away in droves.  The mere 2 % of the population that are homosexual will do little to stop the future fall of McDonald's.   McDonald's days are numbered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I encourage you all to never purchase anything there again.  (It will be no big loss anyhow)  This blatant "in-your-face" corporate support of that which is morally wrong has to be confronted.   Call your local McDonald's and let them know what you think.  McDonald's is McDone.   Clowns are creepy anyhow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read more about it &lt;a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=74691"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-6727323606092893152?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/6727323606092893152/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=6727323606092893152' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/6727323606092893152'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/6727323606092893152'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/04/pink-arches.html' title='Pink Arches'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_Z9MlrFknI/AAAAAAAAAKw/iGEJbMV81wY/s72-c/GoldenArches.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-3375199005017014620</id><published>2008-04-03T21:56:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2008-04-03T22:19:14.723-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atheists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anti-Christian bigotry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='secular humanism'/><title type='text'>UC Discrimination Against Christian Private Schools</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_Wdg1rFkmI/AAAAAAAAAKo/DOzozPMH74w/s1600-h/UC_Color_Logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_Wdg1rFkmI/AAAAAAAAAKo/DOzozPMH74w/s400/UC_Color_Logo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185223733476168290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not happy with only getting 4 years to indoctrinate new undergraduates at UC, the secular humanists (or is it the atheists?) now want to control wither these young people studied (gasp!) creationism in their private Christian prep school.

To be just one more site on the WWW where you can locate the video done by a man named Geert Wilders called Fitna.   A video that all Americans must see.  All of the civilized world must see.  And then there must be many more like it until violent Islam is exposed.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America and, for that matter most of Christianity, has become so complacent due to prolonged peace and prosperity that it almost does not believe that there is pure evil in the world today.   Radical Islam is evil.  And every time that this is said publicly it is censored.  Wikileaks believes in free speech.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam deeply needs Christ Jesus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Fitna_anti-islam_movie_by_Geert_Wilders"&gt;Here is the link.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-2495740842307523391?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Fitna_anti-islam_movie_by_Geert_Wilders' title='Fitna Video'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/2495740842307523391/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=2495740842307523391' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2495740842307523391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2495740842307523391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2008/03/fitna-video.html' title='Fitna Video'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/R_F4ZVrFklI/AAAAAAAAAKg/0eYCj2TjFY8/s72-c/images.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-2988754856472863044</id><published>2007-11-15T01:13:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-11-15T01:17:24.991-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eye Candy'/><title type='text'>Eye Candy 16</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RzvySTqSR_I/AAAAAAAAAKY/ai80vs1_GKw/s1600-h/1114earthset550x309.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RzvySTqSR_I/AAAAAAAAAKY/ai80vs1_GKw/s400/1114earthset550x309.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132962596648011762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a view of the earth from the moon that was taken by the Japanese orbiter.

This is going to be a great video site to check in on from time to time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-8873049967486864097?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/8873049967486864097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=8873049967486864097' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/8873049967486864097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/8873049967486864097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/10/god-tube.html' title='God Tube'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Rw52m_C_X1I/AAAAAAAAAKI/WC8SD5nZXg0/s72-c/ai.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-5855617319877004793</id><published>2007-09-27T16:36:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-09-27T16:45:28.956-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Noah'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ancient man'/><title type='text'>Noah In Greek Art</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RvwkSJOOvbI/AAAAAAAAAKA/61CtmevyiV8/s1600-h/A10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RvwkSJOOvbI/AAAAAAAAAKA/61CtmevyiV8/s400/A10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115003170917891506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have come across a very interesting web site of someone who has studied Greek art and believes he has decoded the images there.

They made a fatal mistake that led to an explosion releasing clouds of deadly gas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The accident was reported but the details and the Iranian connection were concealed. Syria has the most sophisticated chemical weapons program in the middle east.  They are in a mutual defense pact with Iran.  If Israel attacks Iran to destroy their nuclear program like they did the Syrian program, Syria will likely launch chemical weapons on Israel.  The scud missiles are capable of reaching Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a chemical weapon ever hit a major city in Israel you can be sure that Israel would reply in a very dramatic way destroying all attacking capability.  They will not sit back and allow themselves to be annihilated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1189411428847&amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more here. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-9045702814042593373?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/9045702814042593373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=9045702814042593373' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/9045702814042593373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/9045702814042593373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/09/chemical-weapons-in-syria-kill-iranians.html' title='Chemical Weapons In Syria Kill Iranians'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RvH2ja--y9I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/CsotM5bL72w/s72-c/Scud_Launcher.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-4528188848087792223</id><published>2007-09-16T12:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-09-16T13:03:29.446-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Israel Air Strike Destroys Nukes In Syria ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Ru1v03_cbgI/AAAAAAAAAJw/7MiCcGxCn4s/s1600-h/0304pic1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Ru1v03_cbgI/AAAAAAAAAJw/7MiCcGxCn4s/s400/0304pic1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110864106309316098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evidence is mounting that the invasion of air space over Syria by Israel jets was much more than meets the eye.  There are many conflicting reports.  All that is known officially is that the jets flew in Syrian airspace and Syria recovered ejected fuel canisters.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ejected fuel canisters probably indicate a "deep" strike into Syria.  A strike that is at the limits of fuel capacity for a safe return. This would take the jets over areas in extreme northern Syria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now evidence is coming out that North Korean "advisers" are present in Syria and that they are suspected of bringing nuclear materials into Syrihttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifa.  This is what Israel may have bombed with the help of ground forces who lit up the target with lasers for the smart bombs to target.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the most amazing news of the entire event is that Israel forces somehow disabled the formidable Russian state-of-the-art ground to air missile defenses.  There is no word on how they did that.  Even Iran does not have this Russian equipment (yet)  Maybe now they won't waste their money trying to buy it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things continue to heat up in the middle east.  &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article2461421.ece"&gt;You can read more here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-4528188848087792223?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/4528188848087792223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=4528188848087792223' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4528188848087792223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4528188848087792223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/09/israel-air-strike-destroys-nukes-in.html' title='Israel Air Strike Destroys Nukes In Syria ?'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Ru1v03_cbgI/AAAAAAAAAJw/7MiCcGxCn4s/s72-c/0304pic1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-4051063618486458333</id><published>2007-09-10T13:34:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-09-10T13:50:44.763-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Eye Candy 15</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RuWRhqJYp3I/AAAAAAAAAJo/UHHck4L15vg/s1600-h/galaxylego_hst.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RuWRhqJYp3I/AAAAAAAAAJo/UHHck4L15vg/s400/galaxylego_hst.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108649359757059954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a deep field photo of outer space.  These "stars" are all galaxies.  The only "star" that is not a galaxy is the one in the upper right corner that has lines radiating through it.  The lines are the distortion of the light on the lens.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For as far as our best telescopes can see there are more and more galaxies like our own Milky Way.   The expanse of space is incomprehensibly huge.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, here is the strange news in light of "evolution"  There is no predicted infrared emission from these galaxies.  It is as if they are not old.  But if they are not old, and the speed of light is constant, then how did they get so far away so quickly? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe the "big bang" theory and the theory of "evolution" are not all that they are cracked up to be?  Maybe light can be slowed down or sped up?  Or maybe God just spoke the universe into existence at one moment in time 6,000 years ago?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We report, you decide.  ;-)   You can click on the photo to enlarge it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-4051063618486458333?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/4051063618486458333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=4051063618486458333' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4051063618486458333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4051063618486458333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/09/eye-candy-15.html' title='Eye Candy 15'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RuWRhqJYp3I/AAAAAAAAAJo/UHHck4L15vg/s72-c/galaxylego_hst.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-50703667541726838</id><published>2007-09-09T12:53:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-09-09T13:30:28.729-05:00</updated><title type='text'>French President Sarkozy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RuQ7i6JYp2I/AAAAAAAAAJg/PsqQxRpS6HM/s1600-h/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RuQ7i6JYp2I/AAAAAAAAAJg/PsqQxRpS6HM/s400/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5108273348255197026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new French president seems to get it.  He has publicly spoken out a philosophical mindset that is refreshing in this day and age.  It is greatly encouraging to know that at least one world politician understands the problems behind the failure of education and the root cause of the dysfunctional societies we live in today.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Religion should not be left at the school room door. The spiritual and the sacred always accompany human experiences. They are the source of all civilization. One can open up [more] easily to others and one can dialogue more easily with people of other religions when one understands their religion."  This is what Sarkozy has written in a letter to all of the teachers of France.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has called them to take part in a "renaissance" and to begin to "guide and to protect the spirit and the sensibilities that are not yet completely formed, that have not yet attained maturity, which are searching, which are still fragile and vulnerable (in the children)"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that this is done by, "rewarding the good, punishing the faults, cultivating an admiration of that which is good, just, beautiful, great, true and profound and [cultivating] a detestation of that which is bad, unjust, ugly, insignificant, untrue, superficial and mediocre. That," he said, "is how a teacher renders his service to a child in his care."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say, "Well, duh !"  Finally someone has stood up and spoken the plain truth that is being (purposefully?) ignored in the "normal" schools of America and Europe.  This is exactly that which has been eliminated from the educational systems of America.  It is as if, historically, America did such a good job of teaching people how to be truly free by being truly educated, body, soul, and spirit, that the only way to conquer it was by undermining these values, thus destabilising the democratic values that America was built upon.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now the voice of reason comes from, of all places, France?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarkozy is continuing to press the theme he introduced as the Interior Minister of France before he was elected President.  At that time he called upon France to repudiate it's anti-religious prejudice and restore church state relations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This all is like a breath of fresh air.  Now the next question is, "What is good?" I am not sure that there is a consensus on this question. What is good has to be retaught in the schools. Who decides that?  Atheists?  The jaded leaders of America all seem to be, like Pilate, unable to determine "truth."  Jesus is truth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-50703667541726838?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/50703667541726838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=50703667541726838' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/50703667541726838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/50703667541726838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/09/french-president-sarkozy.html' title='French President Sarkozy'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RuQ7i6JYp2I/AAAAAAAAAJg/PsqQxRpS6HM/s72-c/images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-3233930578278984214</id><published>2007-08-31T01:05:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-08-31T01:17:06.072-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Russians Behind Israel-Syria Tensions</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RteyNKJYp1I/AAAAAAAAAJY/aGwIvWhfwYI/s1600-h/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RteyNKJYp1I/AAAAAAAAAJY/aGwIvWhfwYI/s400/images.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104744641779509074" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evidence is coming out that Russia is behind the tensions between Syria and Israel.

After four years of residency a 20 question test will be given.  The 20 questions will be drawn at random from a pool of 200 questions about general knowledge of the values and goals of the Australian nation.  It will be expected that applicants get at least 12 questions correct or they may be refused citizenship.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The values of a Judeo-Christian culture are drawn from the goodness of the word of God. They are not scandalous.  They are the simple values of a nation.  They are explained as "respect for the equal worth, dignity and freedom of the individual, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and secular government, freedom of association, support for parliamentary democracy and the rule of law, equality under the law, equality of men and women, equality of opportunity, peacefulness, tolerance, mutual respect and compassion for those in need." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Australia expects a working knowledge of this.

Life takes us in different directions.  I am not even sure that I am current in the software and technology.  I guess I will find out.  How about a long ramble about the high points since I last posted?  Nothing super outstanding.  Just life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winter led to another move for the church.  This time we moved back into our "campus house" after extensive redecorating / remodeling.  I think that it was during this time of daily construction work that I began slacking off in posting.  I never really got the steam up after that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We moved from our old facilities into the new (old) place around the end of January.  My last post was May 15th after a series of long gaps.  The move in required much of my focus.  There were many new things to get used to and I needed to develop a new routine. Feb., March, April, and May just blew by. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the first of June our entire family including infants and girlfriends all went primitive camping.  We spent 4 days in the rain.  It was rough, but we all still had a good time. All 16 of us.  We made a huge rain shelter out of a 50x30 tarp and all of our tents were also covered in plastic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that I contacted a few deer ticks as I later developed 2 of the 3 forms of Lyme disease.  Getting over that really kicked my butt.  I lost 25 pounds. (And have managed to keep them off)  Even though, when I went to the doctor, I told them that I suspected that I had Lyme disease, the doctors did not test for it.  45 days later I finally developed the bulls eye rash and got the proper treatment.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rusty came to be with us in July and Dick Mills faithfully came to the church again in August. He is now 85 years old and says he has cut back his ministry travels from 52 weeks out of the year to about 40 weeks now.  I had him pray for me to have the same zeal and stamina that he has when I am 85.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that we made a trip to Memphis.  My younger brother, David, had become very ill and we were going down there to help him get his stuff together for the long recovery.  But he did not recover.  He died 15 hours before I got to his side.  I am so sorry I was not there for him.  I arranged for his funeral. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to get to morbid, but at that same time we heard that my older brother has contracted pancreatic cancer that has spread to his liver and lymph nodes already.  He is in treatment but they cannot do surgery.  He can only receive chemo.  He might not survive very long.  Nobody makes it over 5 years.  He is getting his affairs in order.  I have not heard from him since David's funeral. Please keep him in your prayers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that is all for now.  I will try to post more often now.  Please keep looking in if there is anyone still out there reading Sprucegoose.  &lt;br /&gt;Blessings, Bruce&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-7736572440539509676?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/7736572440539509676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=7736572440539509676' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/7736572440539509676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/7736572440539509676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/08/hello-again.html' title='Hello Again'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RtT-e6JYpyI/AAAAAAAAAJA/D30P16PY5vo/s72-c/STA71250.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-1396269346473257814</id><published>2007-05-15T14:58:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-05-15T15:03:06.892-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ancient man'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pyramids'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stonehedge'/><title type='text'>How Did Ancients Move Huge Stones?</title><content type='html'>Finally, here is an explanation on how the (evolutionary stupid ? ! ) ancients moved the massive stone  blocks of the pyramids, Solomon's temple, and Stonehedge.

Evangelicals are about one-third of the American population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet these same faculty members had "warm" or "favorable" feelings towards Muslims.  41 % had good feelings about atheists.  Non-evangelical Christians and Catholics earned a 60 % favorable rating from the professors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is all very interesting to me.   I often hear of faculty that give openly evangelical students lower grades and sometimes tough work assignments.   I have to encourage them to be open and forthright about their beliefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study states that, "As it was of Jews on campus two generations ago, maybe evangelical Christians do not want to talk openly about their identities and beliefs.   The prejudice against them stands out prominently in institutions dedicated to liberalism, tolerance, and  academic freedom."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the study, more than 70% of the faculty interviewed  said that the United States " would be better off if Christian fundamentalists kept their religious beliefs out of politics."   Why?  So that our "poison" doesn't infect your 1.2 children?

But I feel obligated to post them here in honor of my three Christian brothers in Turkey who died at the hands of jihadists.   They are truly martyrs.&lt;br /&gt;They stand is sharp contrast to suicide bombers who blow up women and children and then call themselves martyrs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not light weight stuff, so if you have a weak stomach you might want to stop here.&lt;br /&gt;I am reporting what I have learned through Francis Frangipane's newsletter.  He posts a article by Asher Intrater, a Jew who is a believer in Jesus as the Messiah.   I quote him as follows;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The young Muslims who performed the murder were university students, all 19 years old (this was planned on purpose, as Turkish criminal law prevents harsh punishment for minors under 20).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The details of the murder are grotesque, reported as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boys tied Ugur, Necati, and Tilman’s hands and feet to chairs and as they videoed their work on cell phones, they tortured them for almost three hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tilman was stabbed 156 times, Necati 99 times, and Ugur’s stabs were too numerous to count. They were disemboweled, and their intestines sliced up in front of their eyes. They were emasculated and watched as those body parts were destroyed. Fingers were chopped off, and their noses and mouths and anuses were sliced open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the police finally broke in, they found that Tilman and Necati had been slaughtered, practically decapitated with their necks slit from ear to ear. Ugur’s throat was likewise slit and he was barely alive (dying shortly thereafter).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The front pages of all the largest newspapers in Turkey carried an interview with Susanne (Tilman's widow), saying "God forgive them for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34). In a nation where blood revenge is a normal part of the culture, Suzanne's statement of forgiveness came as a shock to many. One newspaper columnist wrote: “She said in one sentence what 1000 missionaries in 1000 years could never do.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These men were true martyrs.  They did not kill or hurt anyone.  They were killed for their beliefs.   The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the gospel.  Martyrdom with forgiveness is the most powerful force at work in the earth to bring the Kingdom of God to all mankind.   Lord, make my life worthy to be called a brother to these men.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-2351929021573923429?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/2351929021573923429/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=2351929021573923429' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2351929021573923429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2351929021573923429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/04/religion-of-peace-details-of-turkey.html' title='Religion of Peace ?

Not one. All of the babies who may have been aborted by this gruesome method can easily be killed by alternate methods.   The ruling is a crumb from the table of secularism that took 40 years of pro-life activism to achieve.   It is a total fraud.   It only serves to motivate the pro-death crowd to get out and vote in a liberal president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all of the conservatives know this.   They just don't tell you about it.   They will walk about and thump their chests and say, "look what God has wrought."   They say it is foot in the door but if the vote was only 5 to 4 then we still have a long way to go.   The horror of partial birth only rallied 5 votes?   5  votes out of the 9 top ministers of "justice" in the USA?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hate and rage now being vented by those who have chosen, in the past, to kill their babies over this small "victory" is just the tip of the iceberg.  They actually feel threatened by this small concession.  They will be invigorated in the fight.   And the pro-life people will probably all sit down to rest.   "But it is a good first step."

Gender identity is the code word for cross-dressers, drag queens, she-males, transsexuals, etc. who would be given special protection so that they have more rights than you do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will probably still be &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;ok&lt;/span&gt; to preach against &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;adultery&lt;/span&gt; and fornication but soon it looks like it will completely be forbidden to say it is wrong to be a cross dresser or homosexual.

It also states that Jesus is not the son of God but a prophet.&lt;br /&gt;Muslims use this text to debunk Jesus.  The book also calls Paul "the deceived"&lt;br /&gt;Barnabas might have written an earlier work called &lt;a href="http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/barnabas.html"&gt;"The Epistle of Barnabas"&lt;/a&gt; The Epistle of Barnabas is a Greek writing containing twenty-one chapters, preserved in complete form in the 4th century Codex Sinaiticus where it appears at the end of the New Testament.  It was not accepted in the cannon of the original scriptures but was added in the Codex Sinaiticus.&lt;br /&gt;But there is no way that Barnabas could have authored the "gospel of Barnabas.  This text was written in the 14th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I see&lt;br /&gt;1. the seeds of why there are so many gnostic texts being presented by the media&lt;br /&gt;2. where they are headed&lt;br /&gt;3. the spirit behind the deception&lt;br /&gt;4. the soon coming focus of the attack  (Paul's writings and thus the tossing out of most of the New Testament)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam is behind this.  Specifically the anti-christ spirit of Persia.  As Persia (Iran) rises, this will develop with it.&lt;br /&gt;This is not to scare you.  Instead it is to inform you so you can "understand the times."&lt;br /&gt;;-)  And no, I have not lost my mind.   I have just found some conviction of things I have thought about for years.&lt;br /&gt;Islam will be the seedbed source of the great deceptions coming upon all mankind in the last days.&lt;br /&gt;But, although the elect almost fall, they stand.  By God's grace.  Grace as opposed to law.  Jesus grace, as spoken of by Paul.&lt;br /&gt;Blessings, Bruce&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-4048184547395304711?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www2.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif' title='The Coming Attack Against Paul'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/4048184547395304711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=4048184547395304711' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4048184547395304711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4048184547395304711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/04/coming-attack-against-paul.html' title='The Coming Attack Against Paul'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Rhgj-JDVLUI/AAAAAAAAAHk/R4P92UCGrjI/s72-c/barnabas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-3318802553855723680</id><published>2007-03-06T19:07:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-03-06T19:10:17.768-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Quote 4</title><content type='html'>I am posting this from Chuck Missler's K-house newsletter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Nations and empires actually do have "life cycles."

I am very comfortable and familiar with the world of the military, but I simply do not recognize what I am seeing these days.  Especially with the Navy and Air Force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The invasion of the 60's generation into leadership of this country is even showing up in our military leadership.  Morally corrupt, secular, people without any real sense of truth seem to be at the helm of the ship of state.   What else would explain why the leadership of the Navy would block conservative news outlets like World Net Daily? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine being a new enlistment into the Navy who has grown up accessing his favorite conservative news on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Internet&lt;/span&gt;.  Then this same guy joins the Navy and thinks he is safe amongst his peers.  But instead he sees a chaplain fired for praying in the name of Jesus.   Follow this up with not being able to access World Net Daily and some of the insane political decisions being made about the war against terror and a young enlisted man could begin to feel a little insecure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberal, secular thinking leadership is ruining this country.  It has no basis of truth besides its own opinion.   Or even more &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;scary&lt;/span&gt;, it's only basis of truth is the opinions of those in power over it who also are without foundations.   The navy and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;air force&lt;/span&gt; seem to be the ones that are the most out of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;wack&lt;/span&gt;.  The reports of some of the middle leadership I know who are returning from Iraq is that the upper leadership is politically out of control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This makes me think that there was some real attempt to block the military votes in the last presidential elections like &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;WND&lt;/span&gt; reported.   Corruption is seeking to undermine the will of the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54560"&gt;You can read more here. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-4238425949203969955?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/4238425949203969955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=4238425949203969955' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4238425949203969955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/4238425949203969955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-is-with-navy.html' title='What Is With The Navy ?'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Re3VyouItVI/AAAAAAAAAHY/IHY0ZhxDLQs/s72-c/web_040614-N-0119G-008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-426926339398026629</id><published>2007-02-18T13:48:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-02-18T14:24:33.439-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evolution'/><title type='text'>Churches Promoting Evolution</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Rdi18owxA3I/AAAAAAAAAHM/CNhwylpVx-M/s1600-h/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Rdi18owxA3I/AAAAAAAAAHM/CNhwylpVx-M/s400/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032972636925264754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At last count 612 churches promoted evolution on &lt;a href="http://www.butler.edu/clergyproject/rel_evol_sun2007.htm"&gt;"Evolution Sunday"&lt;/a&gt; on Feb. 11th.  They chose this day because it it the Sunday closest to the birth of Charles Darwin.  Statements in sermons such as "if we do not acknowledge evolution, then we are not giving God the full credit for creation" are common.&lt;br /&gt;This special Sunday came about after 10,200 pastors signed on to the &lt;a href="http://www.butler.edu/clergyproject/religion_science_collaboration.htm"&gt;"Clergy Letter Project"&lt;/a&gt;  This was an attempt to encourage clergy across America to sign a letter that supports evolution and rejects the Genesis account of creation as literal history.&lt;br /&gt;The argument is that God was creative enough to use evolution to create man.   My question is, "then why did He tells us a different story in Genesis?"  This movement attempts to marginalize bible believing Christians as unscientific and anti intellectualism.   I personally am open to evolution but &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I have yet to find anyone who can convince me that it is not just something believed by faith.  If I am going to believe by faith, I will believe the Bible's account.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a list of the churches in Minnesota that have signed on to this insanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a id="MN" name="MN"&gt;&lt;span class="style6"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Our Savior's Lutheran Church&lt;br /&gt;Bird Island, MN&lt;br /&gt;The Rev.

Yet most newspapers buried the event several pages deep if they mentioned it at all.    Contrast that to the coverage that the media gave the anti-Bush/war rally last week.   Most honest estimates were that there were only 10's of thousands there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coverage never showed the total crowd in either event.  They did not show the total crowd at the march for life because they wanted it to look small (if they showed a picture at all).   They did not show the total crowd at the anti-Bush rally because it was embarrassingly small.  (Police estimated it to be no more than 20,000 although many media outlets said it was 100,000)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sick and tired of the manipulation by the media.   No wonder most of the US watches Fox News now.   NBC is just about dead.  In a last ditch effort to get market share, they have begun to be outwardly liberal in their slant.  They no longer pretend to be mainstream.   NBC's days are numbered and newspapers are loosing readers every year.   Just the facts please.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-1538667508731434976?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/1538667508731434976/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=1538667508731434976' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/1538667508731434976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/1538667508731434976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/02/media-ignores-2007-dc-march-for-life.html' title='Media Ignores 2007 D.C.

In that fecal material dwells a parasite that enters the persons body, is incurable, and eventually kills the person by destroying the heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some experts estimate the number of people in Latin American countries who have this disease to be  25%.    About 25% of these will suffer heart damage.   So .o6%  of the population suffers heart damage from this one bug.  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chagas_disease"&gt;You can read the &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/span&gt; entry on this here.  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this mean to me?  I would in no way consider camping out in states below the Mason Dixon line.   ;-)   Actually my two youngest sons were visited by the bug one night on a trip to Costa Rica.  How did we know?  They had a rash around their mouths in the morning from a reaction to the fecal material.   By the grace of God, the bug that attacked them was not infected with the parasite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/01/070116131041.htm"&gt;Info on the discovery in Louisiana is here. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-1424672458250302135?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/1424672458250302135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=1424672458250302135' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/1424672458250302135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/1424672458250302135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2007/01/chagas-parasite-disease-now-in.html' title='Chagas Parasite Disease Now In Louisiana'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Ra_dDu67rWI/AAAAAAAAAFA/jMSncxRpkS4/s72-c/250px-Carte_maladie_Chagas.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-6024150919254610831</id><published>2007-01-15T20:43:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-01-15T20:47:02.062-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Eye Candy Twelve</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Raw8Yu67rUI/AAAAAAAAAEs/UdzewZtrTys/s1600-h/mcnaught_casado.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/Raw8Yu67rUI/AAAAAAAAAEs/UdzewZtrTys/s400/mcnaught_casado.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020454080220998978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comet McNaught can be seen at dawn and dusk near the sun.

(A "Caliphate")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Third of March, 1924, the world was plungned into darkness. The Khilafah—His light, spread from East to West—for over a thousand years was brought to an end. The consequences were unimaginable: death, destruction, chaos, exploitation. After 80 years of the absence of the khilafah, the Muslim world has awakened from its slumber, and the umma [the community of all the world’s Muslims] is ready to resume its political destiny. From the darkness will emerge a new light.” &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koA5hdnMCLO&amp;eurl="&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koA5hdnMCLQ"&gt;Watch this and then read the rest of this post.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what is going on.  This is what is behind all of the news and events surrounding Islam. Is your world view anywhere nearly as aggressive?  Can your beliefs stand up against this momentum?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Rev. 12:9-10  (NLT)   "Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand.  The people who are destined for prison will be arrested and taken away.  Those who are destined for death will be killed.  But do not be dismayed, for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;here is your opportunity to have endurance and faith."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Rev. 20: 4b   (NLT)  "And I saw the souls of those &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;who had been beheaded&lt;/span&gt; for their testimony about Jesus, for proclaiming the word of God....

The closer we get to “the end of days”, the closer we get to hope. Just as God almighty has promised, soon poverty, discrimination and oppression of people and the real justice will spread on earth. The administration of Mr. Ahmadinejad has also brought these good tiding to people and we are trying to solve those problems; that way we can secure the axis of justice. This is what the 12th Imam wants. Of course we do not expect that this event would happen all that soon. Discussing justice is also good news for the masses. The Revolution happened so that people can attain their desires and as such, today one can smell Imam Mahdi’s justice. The Qur’an has commanded that Muslims do not oppress anyone and that they do not put up with oppression either. This is compatible with logic too. The real Muslim is a person who does not lash out at people. Devotion is also an element of faith and this means that people are safe in his hand. A real Muslim should also stand up to oppression because one of the principles of our religion is jihad. If our foreign policy is to be successful, it should be on this basis. The rule of the 12th Imam – the Mahdi – is also on this basis; it will confront tyrants forcefully and his justice will be very real. Of course we should be aware of the fact that the Imam’s sword will not fall on everyone’s neck. The sword is neither for Muslims or Jews or even infidels, but for tyrants as it is tyrants who stop people’s growth and progress. When the Imam emerges he will enlighten people by discussing religion and when people become totally aware of the nature of religion, their conscience would not permit them to reject what is right. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Those who obstinately refuse to accept religion will have the sword of the Imam will decisively come down on their neck.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Just what "religion" is that?  One world government religion?  Or just plain Muslim?   I have never known a less compassionate religion than Islam.  I am sure there are some, but I have never known of one.   This quote above grosses me out !

By 1 AM it had nabbed it's first perp.   Shots were fired in the 2500 block of Park Ave S and the police responded and were able to make an arrest of the man who pulled the trigger.  No one in the neighborhood had called the shots into 911.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of you who don't know about this technology should pay attention.  By placing  microphones trained to distinguish  gun shots from the background noise around a neighborhood,  police computers can triangulate  the exact location and instantly dispatch police to the scene.  The next best thing to being there before the incident occurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This technology is scheduled to be deployed in North Minneapolis ASAP.   Good work city government, but it's about 2 years behind in implementation.  At least now it has been implemented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source -  Star Trib Sunday Dec. 24th page B6&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-2576407210874451065?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/2576407210874451065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=2576407210874451065' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2576407210874451065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/2576407210874451065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2006/12/shotspotter-technology-finally-applied.html' title='ShotSpotter Technology Finally Applied In Minneapolis'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RY8D-paqSyI/AAAAAAAAADg/POyBjV_9_lk/s72-c/GSRPic1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-8278928736836055467</id><published>2006-12-21T20:50:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-12-21T21:14:52.977-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Somalia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ethiopia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eritrea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='war'/><title type='text'>More On The War Against Ethiopia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYtKWpaqSxI/AAAAAAAAADU/gP9M89I7uMw/s1600-h/_42376807_som_contr2_416x246.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYtKWpaqSxI/AAAAAAAAADU/gP9M89I7uMw/s400/_42376807_som_contr2_416x246.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011180763315063570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are three parties involved in this war and more on the way.   There is Ethiopia,  the legal government of Somalia, and the "Union of Islamic Courts" an legitimate government of  Sharia type of law.   Ostensibly the Islamic Courts are there to bring law and order to a chaotic political landscape. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethiopia has supported the government (of war lords) against the Islamics.   So the Islamics have declared war on Ethiopia.  (Even though the government and Islamic courts have declared a temporary peace treaty between each other)   Now Eritrea is said to be sending 2,000 troops to support the Islamic Court forces. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well call me dumb and paint me with mud if this is not a &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt;-planned  and designed attempt to steal a piece of Ethiopia.

His name might be Thomas Killian.  He is a lecturer in the Humanities Department of San Francisco University.   He has written a book called the "Historical Dictionary of Eritrea"    I suspect he is a communist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many communist snakes hide out in the halls of academia in the USA.  They are truly working for the overthrow of the culture of the U.S.A.    Which makes them, "not friends" of our lives and heritage.   They care nothing or little about the heritage of the USA.  They are, by definition, atheists (yet many hide behind a heritage of Christian tradition)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Killion&lt;/span&gt; is a secular humanist.  The "compassionate" idiots of American society. &lt;br /&gt;Artistic types, killers of babies in the name of compassion for the irresponsible mothers.  Haters of their own societies.   Antagonists of the majority. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Killion&lt;/span&gt;.... I am calling you out.   If this is you then identify yourself so all can get a good look at you and your evil ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell us about your communist attempts to overthrow the Ethiopian government.   Tell us about the culture you attempted to destroy.  Tell us why you hate Christianity and Ethiopia.    Tell us why you traveled with the communist rebels in Eritrea.   Are you a "liberation &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;theologian&lt;/span&gt;"? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am just "shooting in the dark" here, but I think I am close to target.  If I am wrong, tell me so, I am fully willing to apologise.   Convince me you are a Christian with God's will as your goal.&lt;br /&gt;I think you are the worlds most &lt;span onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;prominent&lt;/span&gt; spin doctor for the communists in Eritrea.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-5284507875344637431?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/5284507875344637431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=5284507875344637431' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/5284507875344637431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/5284507875344637431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2006/12/who-killian-really-is.html' title='Who Killian Really Is'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYs1n5aqSwI/AAAAAAAAADI/0Sc2MXJQiRQ/s72-c/0810834375.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_V62137300_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-6817490248650830255</id><published>2006-12-21T17:50:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-12-21T18:29:04.903-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Somalia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ethiopia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jihad'/><title type='text'>Somalia Declares War On Ethiopia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYsjGpaqSvI/AAAAAAAAAC4/6P_b_MCph3E/s1600-h/SomEthiWar.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYsjGpaqSvI/AAAAAAAAAC4/6P_b_MCph3E/s400/SomEthiWar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011137607483673330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYsi-paqSuI/AAAAAAAAACw/CTSjcNOYd5E/s1600-h/_896517_gunman150.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYsi-paqSuI/AAAAAAAAACw/CTSjcNOYd5E/s400/_896517_gunman150.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011137470044719842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Background I just discovered on the web....&lt;br /&gt;On August 8th, Somalia invaded Ethiopia, the latest chapter in the ongoing dispute over the Ogaden. The Somalis were initially successful in their attack, but the Soviets-- initially patrons of the Somalis-- switched sides and started supporting the Ethiopians. They withdrew all aid to the Somalis, who were thus forced to rapidly retreat.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow !   No wonder I hit a nerve with my post yesterday.   Today Somalia has declared war on Ethiopia.   I am blown away.   The Islamic leader in Somalia today declared war on Ethiopia.&lt;br /&gt;Is Kenya next?  Is Eritrea going to join Somalia's lead?  Is Sudan involved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is already heavy artillery fire.  Attacks with helicopters are probably next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jihad (not the inner struggle but the traditional way of violent murder, rape, and theft) is once again marching across the globe.  This is how it spreads.  With murderous hordes of opportunists stealing their way to personal riches as the reward for violence.  This is not the way of the God of grace, love, and mercy.   It is the way of he who has come to "kill, steal, and destroy."   That is satan himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this opens the spiritual eyes of those who are in the "valley of decision."  Look !  See!&lt;br /&gt;Satan's kingdom advances by murder.   100's on both sides are already dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Killian (and friends) .... your true colors are showing.   Camouflage cannot hide a snake in the grass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that there are three parties involved.  Ethiopia (an ancient country), Jihad, and Communism.   Each with its own agenda.  I suspect Killian might be a  misinformed communist (who are atheists not Christians, except by individual historic heritage.)   Or he could be a Muslim who has devious, murderous intentions.   He is not a Christian. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1977316,00.html"&gt;You can read more here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-6817490248650830255?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/6817490248650830255/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=6817490248650830255' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/6817490248650830255'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/6817490248650830255'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2006/12/somalia-declares-war-on-ethiopia.html' title='Somalia Declares War On Ethiopia'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYsjGpaqSvI/AAAAAAAAAC4/6P_b_MCph3E/s72-c/SomEthiWar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-7843765040796061183</id><published>2006-12-21T00:34:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-12-21T00:52:04.139-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Illegal Alien Stats</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYoud5aqStI/AAAAAAAAACk/zuR4KpKr-sM/s1600-h/mexico-city.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYoud5aqStI/AAAAAAAAACk/zuR4KpKr-sM/s400/mexico-city.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5010868626566826706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to an Alabama Republican Assembly Newsletter here are a few facts that might help to open our eyes.   I am listing these because I read the other day that 12 American citizens are murdered &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;every day&lt;/span&gt; by illegal aliens and 13 more are killed by illegal aliens who were driving drunk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facts to Ponder&lt;br /&gt;1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.&lt;br /&gt;2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.&lt;br /&gt;3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.&lt;br /&gt;4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.&lt;br /&gt;5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.&lt;br /&gt;6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.&lt;br /&gt;7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.&lt;br /&gt;8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.&lt;br /&gt;9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.&lt;br /&gt;10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish.&lt;br /&gt;(There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County).&lt;br /&gt;(All the above from the Los Angeles Times)&lt;br /&gt;Other facts to consider:&lt;br /&gt;·        Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.&lt;br /&gt;·        Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration.&lt;br /&gt;·        The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION/ year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number.&lt;br /&gt;·        29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I love Mexico.  I think it is a great country.  I have been to Central America so many times that I have lost count.  I am not anti-Latino.   I am pro-America.   We must close the borders and get a lid on this thing.   Then I say let everyone who qualifies come if they want to.  But if we don't stop the bleeding fast we will only have all of the criminals along with a few good citizens.&lt;br /&gt;It is corruption in leadership that has ruined Latin America.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-7843765040796061183?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/7843765040796061183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=7843765040796061183' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/7843765040796061183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/7843765040796061183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2006/12/illegal-alien-stats.html' title='Illegal Alien Stats'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYoud5aqStI/AAAAAAAAACk/zuR4KpKr-sM/s72-c/mexico-city.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-3532306675159685536</id><published>2006-12-20T16:45:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T16:49:05.343-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='photos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='northern lights'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eye Candy 11'/><title type='text'>Eye Candy Eleven</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYm9nJaqSsI/AAAAAAAAACY/tLzlyTjDscA/s1600-h/auroraiowa_richard_big.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYm9nJaqSsI/AAAAAAAAACY/tLzlyTjDscA/s400/auroraiowa_richard_big.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5010744540666677954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A stunning photo of the current solar flare ups effect on our atmosphere.

Over 45,000 views of 528 posts later I am still at this.  It has had its ups and downs.   It took a while for me to begin to understand what a blog was to me.  It is the modern version of sitting on the porch of the general store and sharing with the people in the community you live in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Except the community is now those who you relate to around the world and the communications are mostly one way unless one of the readers posts a comment.  I have not made it a habit of responding to comments, I guess, because I only wanted to share what was on my mind and then just listen.   I am not pushing an agenda here.  Just making observations from my frame of reference. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other blogs have different goals.  Some are out to change the world.  Some are out to police the world.  Others are out to add more power to their lives.  We all have to decide what it is that we want out of our blogs.   I just want to walk through life and point to the things I see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW, at this point, 1,707 people have read my profile... Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a curious thing this blogging.  I like it, I just wish I had more time for it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-5654816194536850842?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/5654816194536850842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=5654816194536850842' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/5654816194536850842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/5654816194536850842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2006/12/2-year-anniversary.html' title='2 Year Anniversary'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYjq6JaqSrI/AAAAAAAAACM/Ohpy81dfOf4/s72-c/sprucegooseheader1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-5224626661434873967</id><published>2006-12-20T00:21:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T00:42:14.632-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ethiopia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jihad'/><title type='text'>Is Ethiopia Going To Be The Next Country Defeated By Jihad?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYjbGpaqSqI/AAAAAAAAAB8/kAie_CMsQtI/s1600-h/ethiopia.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYjbGpaqSqI/AAAAAAAAAB8/kAie_CMsQtI/s400/ethiopia.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5010495492693052066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYja-paqSpI/AAAAAAAAAB0/5oCH_LxhPtM/s1600-h/images.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYja-paqSpI/AAAAAAAAAB0/5oCH_LxhPtM/s400/images.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5010495355254098578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are Islamic fundamentalists seizing power in Mogadishu?

Eritrea is mentioned as "Cush"  which includes Ethiopia.   But Ethiopia is still Christian.  How much longer it will remain as a country is not clear from where I am sitting.   Iran is able to finance a lot of terror, one more won't bankrupt it.   Ethiopia is desperately poor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethiopia seems quite vulnerable to me.

This is the same demonic spirit (principality) that slaughtered 6 million Jews in WWII.&lt;br /&gt;This spirit seems to be rising in power and influence as we move into the prophetic time spoken about in Ezekiel 38 in the bible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is as if entire nations are shaking their fists at the Jews and blaming them for every ill on the face of the earth.

It is an animation set to music.   The complex things you see in the animation are actual representations of the complexity of design inside of a normal cell of the human body.   It is stunning.  It is totally honest in its representations.  These sort of things are what just one ordinary cell is made up of.   And I am willing to bet that this is just the beginning.  As we look ever more deeply into what God has created we will always see an intricate creator at work.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9423406-8713103970176210816?l=sprucegoose.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/feeds/8713103970176210816/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9423406&amp;postID=8713103970176210816' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/8713103970176210816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9423406/posts/default/8713103970176210816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sprucegoose.blogspot.com/2006/12/video-inner-life-of-cell.html' title='Video: The Inner Life Of A Cell'/><author><name>bruce</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00445751817822176902</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://static.flickr.com/37/75452177_6942c35fd9.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RYEVuLE2-QI/AAAAAAAAABI/QZKpPpR6S2c/s72-c/1-2-6-1-1-0-0-0-0-0-0.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9423406.post-1989101834537307295</id><published>2006-12-08T02:04:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-12-08T02:13:45.225-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Non-Prayers Will Be Beheaded In Somalia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RXkeZOSPdvI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OB0J33czqlw/s1600-h/beheading.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_u7Et0RWRPbM/RXkeZOSPdvI/AAAAAAAAAA8/OB0J33czqlw/s400/beheading.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5006065879479187186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you did not know that Somalia is full of extremists then hear this.

The deeper we look through the microscope or telescope the more complex life becomes.  There seems to be no limit to size at either end of the spectrum.  Go big and things just keep getting bigger.   Go little, and things keep getting smaller.   Things exist for a nanosecond and other things seem to have always been.  It is like time, and dimensions have no limits.  No beginning or end.  No big or little.  They just seem to keep going.  It's all too much for me to understand.  And that is as it should be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/12/061206215840.htm"&gt;Take a look here.  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above picture is of a gold dye.
