I Need To Write

My brain is spinning right now. God has been doing so much in me that I don't know quite what to do with myself. I sit here during break, and while I used to always have reading or something I wanted to do, I now just feel restless and out of place. I love working here, but at break time I just feel so pointless and lost. Same with home. I get on my computer, but just can't think of anything to do on it. Then I put in a dvd, and get bored watching it. Then I go to read, and my brain starts spinning so fast I can not focus. What does this mean? It is quite annoying.

I have recently started getting involved in the Voice of The Martyrs ministry and am really enjoying it. They are such a neat and essential ministry. They give normal people like me practical ways to be a blessing and help the "least of these." It is so incredible to think of the millions of persecuted Christians worldwide. I was so angry while during the Olympics China was parading around acting as if they were some great nation, while at the same time arresting Christians and anyone who might say something to the news about their oppressive government. I just sent a letter to a 76 year old woman through voice of the martyrs named Shuang Shuying who with her son was hosting a house church. The police found out and beat them in the street near the site of the Olympics and then arrested them both. So now this 76 year old woman with all sorts of health problems (some doubtless related to being beaten by the police) is serving time in prison for her crimes. I have also read about a girl just recently in Saudi Arabia who believed in jesus and when her father found out, he beat her, cut out her tongue, and then killed her. Then the press picked it up and put it in the news across the country as a warning to what happens when you convert. There are so many stories like that of things that happen every day. It really blows my mind. But when I am doing something to help these people and minister to them in some small way, I feel perfectly at peace. I just wish I could feel this peace all the time :-).

Why Obama is Terrifying

This video shows why Obama is the WRONG choice. He will reduce and handicap our nation's defenses worse than even Bill Clinton...

Dear Mr. Obama

A very powerful video...

9/11

Wow, it has been seven years since that awful attack. I was sitting in homeroom when I heard about it, but did not believe it until it was announced in chapel. I remember that whole day huddling by a small radio in shock trying to figure out what was going on. In one day we were attacked at both World Trade Centers, the Pentagon, and the third major attack was thwarted by some brave passengers aboard United 93. It really does not seem like it was that long ago because as soon as the day comes, I feel the exact same as I did in 2001. I woke up this morning as as I turned off my alarm I saw the date, September 11, and immediately started praying, thanking God for our leaders, our military, and especially George W. Bush. I watched a dvd about the radical Islamist movement around the world and it is absolutely terrifying what is going on. Praise the Lord we have a President who understands the threat and has done everything he can to keep us safe. And I take comfort knowing that since 2001 we have sent hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of radical Islamists to the grave. But if only our dimwit President in the '90s had looked past his fear of hurting his "image" and taken action to stop these radicals, we could have stopped 9/11. But I hope that everyone in our nation today takes time to remember what happened and thank God for President Bush, our brave troops, and everyone else in our government who have supported them. Also, I hope people stop blocking out the memory of this event so they can see clearly who they should vote for in November. The choice is absolutely clear.

Here is a video shown at the Republican National Convention having to do with 9/11, it is really good.
