Well I guess we've come to an agreement. I like the Baptist church, and everyone else prefers the Assemblies of God church, so we'll just go to separate churches. It's not that my family doesn't like the Baptist church, they just like the AOG better. It's not a big deal, I was just hoping we could find one everyone likes. Oh well.
I sort of witnessed to my best friend (the best man at my wedding) on Saturday when he came over for me to order some stuff for him off ebay. I basically told him I love him like a brother, didn't want to see anything bad happen to him, gave him some tracts, and asked him to read them. He doesn't like to be preached to, and I told him I can understand that, but I was the same way, and what I've found has made me a completely new man, much different from before. He got in a fight with his neighbor outside the bar up north at the cabin. Now he has a broken eye socket and has to go for plastic surgery. I know he has seen the change, so at least the seed is planted. I guess it's up to God to make it grow, of course with a little watering along the way from me.
I am so sick of anti-Bush people using the "war" in Iraq to complain about George Bush Jr. and Sr. I was in Desert Storm, and we should have finished it then, but the UN stopped us. (Persuaded Sr. to stop at the border) Saddam was a brutal dictator, and needed to be taken out. Period.
This link below takes you to a page with links to some of his handiwork. Some of it is very gruesome, but if you can stomach it, please take look. Chapter 4 may be all you need to watch, which isn't too gruesome, it's footage of dead bodies of some of the 50,000 to 100,000 Kurds (his own Iraqi residents) that he gassed. The others are beatings, amputations, and executions, and these are not for the squeamish, definitely not for kids, as the site says.

Now I think a better option would've been to send in a sniper and put one bullet through his head, but that's not how it happened. That would've plunged them into civil war even faster, but I suppose only God knows what would've happened.
Once the Democrat President (probably Obama) takes office, we will pull out, and Iraq will be plunged into civil war, possibly resulting in WWIII. This is just my opinion, so let's hope I'm wrong.
Why aren't we in Dafur? I just don't get it.... Yes we are the world's police, like it or not, that just comes with being the strongest world power. Imagine if Hitler would've went unopposed. Don't get me wrong, I don't like war, but if it's necessary for the betterment of the world, then we must remain our brother's keeper.
Next question: which Democrat to vote for: McCain or Obama.......LOL
No I do not like McCain. It would've been nice if Huckabee would've made it, and he's still pushing on, but I can foresee McCain coming away with the nomination. Sad, I know, but whatchya gonna do? I can't bring myself to vote for a Democrat, but McCain? I don't know. I guess we'll see....
Well, gotta go read my chapter for tomorrow's Financial Accounting class, and then I might try to finish Joshua. Then it's on to Romans.

You said: I sort of witnessed to my best friend (other than my wife) on Saturday
What?! You did not.
What I meant to say was you did that to S not me!
sorry brother but i have to wade in on this one. You asked the key question-why aren't we in darfur? why weren't we in rwanda and cambodia when their genocides occured? The answer is that as much as the US likes to protray itself as the world's savior it only does it when there is a benefit to us. To me this is being fake. Either say we are going to act purely for our best interests and to hell with the rest of the world, or truly be the savior and ignore no evil. But we have chosen to do both-only act when expedient and protray ourselves as the savior of the world. Nice
If we went into iraq for only altruisitic motives then why wouldn't that same president and congress (at the time) act on darfur? That is the question to me.
Tadd,
You're right to a certain point. However, we can not be the world's saviour, there's just not enough resources. Maybe that's how the priorities are set, though. If it's in our best interest, (protecting the US or etc.) then we act.
However, just because we don't have a tangible interest doesn't mean we shouldn't get involved: Dafur, Rwanda and etc. We need to take the lead.
My whole original point was this: "how can people actually sit back and say we had no reason to go there and take him out?" With what he did, and was capable of doing, we should've gone sooner, or better yet, finished it in 1991 when we were already there.
Gypsywolf (my best friend):
When ones says "my best friend", many think of a spouse. I was specifying my best friend (not my spouse). Make sense?
Love,
Pappy
I'm not speaking of the best friend comment. I am saying that you are insinuating in your blog post that you have witnessed to me along with S on separate occasions.
YES DEEAARR.....LOL
Didn't mean to make it sound that way, so I'll change it just for you....just because I love you.
dude, you should update your blog again...seems you have decided to switch churches too! LOL!!
