News magazines don't kill people, Muslims do

Catchy title! Sorry, it's not mine. Borrowed it from Ann Coulter. Her article, NEWSWEEK DISSEMBLED, MUSLIMS DISMEMBERED! is really good. An example:

When ace reporter Michael Isikoff had the scoop of the decade, a thoroughly sourced story about the president of the United States having an affair with an intern and then pressuring her to lie about it under oath, Newsweek decided not to run the story. Matt Drudge scooped Newsweek, followed by The Washington Post. When Isikoff had a detailed account of Kathleen Willey's nasty sexual encounter with the president in the Oval Office, backed up with eyewitness and documentary evidence, Newsweek decided not to run it. Again, Matt Drudge got the story. When Isikoff was the first with detailed reporting on Paula Jones' accusations against a sitting president, Isikoff's then-employer The Washington Post -- which owns Newsweek -- decided not to run it. The American Spectator got the story, followed by the Los Angeles Times.

Somehow Newsweek missed the story a few weeks ago about Saudi Arabia arresting 40 Christians for "trying to spread their poisonous religious beliefs." But give the American media a story about American interrogators defacing the Quran, and journalists are so appalled there's no time for fact-checking.

Read this article! It is a MUST!

It's Been a Long Time

I've been in a dry place. The desert. Empty. Usually this happens just prior to coming to an oasis. Like the saying, "it's always darkest just before dawn." I'm one of those dense people that usually has to be hit squarely on the head in order to realize anything. The last time, it was a license plate. It said "ISA 5417." A normal looking license plate. Just so happens that the car it was on wouldn't let me pass -- for two hours! I was going through a hard time in my work. My older sister called me on my cell phone. Said she had a Bible verse just for me -- it was Isaiah 54:17. I know -- I've been staring at that verse for two hours on the car in front of me!!! I'm so dense!

Anyway, this time it took a disabled postal worker and a man I hardly knew calling me -- "hitting me on the head" -- to get my attention. "LORD, I'm listening!!" "I'm ready!"

HE is like a loving Father. HE wants us to grow. Stagnant is not good. How do we prod our children? How do we get them to grow in maturity? How do we teach them to have a relationship with HIM? Is that how HE deals with us? Does HE put us in certain circumstances to make us miserable? Does HE allow us to be in a miry pit in order to teach us? In order to grow us?

I THINK SO. More later…
