I would like to think that there are plenty of you that have been lost without the blog. Maybe I would be surprised? But here we are again, with time passing by so quickly that it's hard to believe it is October. I love this time of the year! The cooler weather, along with hunting and football, is wonderful.
Here's my take on a couple of things:
1)The presidential election that is coming up is a really intriguing thing. The two most mentioned names, when it comes to the candidates, are Obamah and Palin. You would think that she is the presidential nominee. The choice that you make, come the first Tuesday in November, could have long lasting effects on the moral status of the USA, considering the possibility of replacing four Chief Justices over the next four to eight years. My hope is that believers will vote according to morality rather than their pocketbooks. Do I believe that one candidate has stronger convictions than the other when it comes to morality? PLEASE!!!!!!!
2)The economy in our nation is really at a critical point. We are truly facing crisis on this front, that has not been experienced in our land in the majority of our lifetimes. This could be the best of times and the worst of times all together. We are so pampered in America. It may be best for us in the long run if we have to cut back on some of the conveniences of our time. I know it would be an awful thing to have to be without, say ... cellphones. But believe it or not, we did survive without them. I'm not in any way trying to make light of a grim outlook. It's just that we could do with a lot less than we are used to.
"Shoot! I remember when we had to walk to school, in the snow, uphill - both ways, backwards, and in the dark!"
Maybe it's not so bad after all!

Hello from Oklahoma,
I enjoy reading your blogs. I only get to see you once a year and I miss you. When I read your blogs I feel closer to home.
Thank you,
Kelli M. Ellis
I enjoy your blogs as well. You know how to put things in perspective.
Eventhough I am 31 years old. I rememember walking to school, uphill in the snow as well.
I honestly do not know who would make the best president because so far the "last" one I voted for didn't turn out to be the best choice for me.
See you Sunday!

Hey Pastor,
Is Hussein not a christian name? LOL just kidding :-}
You impress me with your blogging skills. I find you thoughts enlightening.
Hello Pastor Eric,
Just wanted to post a e-mail I got from a friend at work, and to also say that I'm missing Church so much on this new schedule. I know that God has a plan for me and that in his own time it will be revealed. Hope you and the family are doing well, I miss our Church family. Thanks for all you do.

I AGREE WITH THIS MESSAGE!!!
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that
America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back.
These events are actual events from history..
They really happened!!!
Do you remember?
1. 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.
2. In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by
Muslim male extremists.
3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists.
4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim
male extremists.
5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists.
6. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American
passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male
extremists.
7. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to
rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists.
8. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.
9. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male
extremists.
10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male
extremists.
11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take
down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US
Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of
people were killed by Muslim male extremists.
12. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male
extremists.
13. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed
it-- Muslim male extremists.
No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure
we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us,
airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people...
Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline
pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the
President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of
Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males alone lest they
be guilty of profiling.
According to The Book of Revelations:
The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the
nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the
prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and
world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.
And Now:
For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of All times the People of America want to
elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency
of the United states of America .. A Male of Muslim descent who is the most
extremely liberal Senator in Congress (in other words an extremist) and in his
40s.
Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of
Reason ???
I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama...
Hey, Pastor!
I finally signed on to comment. I thought it would be hard, that's why I put it off so long. I'm not good with computer stuff. Oh well, just wanted to say hello and I enjoy reading your blogs. You and your family mean so much to me and mine.
Thanks! Love ya'll!
