 Paul Harvey speaks......
 

GO USA & CANADA !!!

Paul Harvey says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.

So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America and Canada, countries Founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. When in Rome .

But what about the atheists? is another argument.

What about them?

Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating; to pray before we go to sleep.

Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. If we lived in another country could we leave the room when their national anthem was being played?

God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well .. just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long.. It's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority don't care what they want. It is time the majority rules! It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray; you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right.. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away. We are fighting back . .. and we WILL WIN!

God bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce Him. God bless America and Canada, despite all their faults. They are still the greatest nations of all.

God bless our service men and women who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

May 2007 be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions.

Keep looking up.

 some thoughts
 

No one can go back and make a brand new start.
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
~~~

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
~~~

Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the bumps too long. Move on!
~~~

When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God has thought of something better to give you.
~~~

When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
~~~

You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth. It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you love because of pride.
~~~

We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
~~~

Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take his place. Friendship is like wine; it gets better as it grows older.

~~~

Remember the five simple rules to be happy
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

 Colin James
 

Colin James

Born on August 17, 1964
in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

He was a fixture on the Regina folk music scene, sitting in with various local and touring musicians, playing a preternaturally fast and delightful mandolin. He would often jump up on stage between sets to play his own sets, which were always entertaining. Summers, he would tour with local music revue, Sod Hut and The Buffalo Chips. Colin taught guitar lessons on a local Aboriginal reserve, and he was introduced to the Texas Blues of Stevie Ray Vaughan by his stepfather.

One of his strongest early influences in the Blues was Prairie bluesman Big Dave McLean. One notable weekend at the Regina Folk Festival saw Little Colin and Big Dave jamming together in the hallways and backstage all weekend.

James left high school in grade 10 and moved to Vancouver in 1980. He opened for Stevie Ray Vaughan for a show in Regina. Vaughan was impressed with Colin's performance and invited James to open for him for several tour dates in the USA.

Stevie Ray Vaughan gave Colin James his stage name, because Vaughan pointed out the name "Colin Munn" tended to sound like "Colin Mud" in noisy venues. James has also toured with Keith Richards.

Colin also played guitar on Richard Marx's "B-Side" song called Thunder And Lightning.
