A man arrested for the murder of a 12-year-old girl was also suspected of other killings. When police searched his computer, they found a file labeled "My Sins," but it couldn't be opened because it was protected with a password. A computer expert went to work using software to break the code. After 16 hours and billions of combinations, he found this password: "Godhelp." The file detailed six brutal crimes, including rape and murder.
I wonder if that man had created the file and its unique password because of the overwhelming burden of guilt for what he had done. Perhaps he knew that only God could help him deal with the enormity of his crimes.
We all have past sins that weigh us down. We may feel as David did when he wrote that God's hand was heavy upon him day and night and that his "vitality was turned into the drought of summer" (Psalm 32:4). Yet relief can come. David said, "I acknowledged my sin to You . . . . I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,' and You forgave the iniquity of my sin" (v.5).
The miracle of God's forgiveness does not remove the consequences of our sins. But when we confess our sins to Him, He will forgive us and cleanse us (1 John 1:9). His mercy and help are sure. -David McCasland
When God forgives, He removes the sin and restores the sinner.

Hi Star.. : )
They're right. Our "agenda" is truth and ending the socialist/liberal lock on the mainstream media.
050126-N-5345W-056 Persian Gulf (Jan. 26, 2005) - Lt. David Dequeljoe, a Landing Signal Officer (LSO) assigned to the "Swordsmen" of Fighter Squadron Three Two (VF-32), relays approach and recovery information to Sailors working in the Combat Direction Center (CDC), while watching one of his squadron's F-14B Tomcats approach the landing area on the flight deck aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). The LSO's primary responsibility is the safe and expeditious recovery of fixed-wing aircraft aboard ship. Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-3) is embarked aboard Truman and is providing close air support and conducting intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance over Iraq. The Truman Carrier Strike Group is on a regularly scheduled deployment in support of the Global War on Terrorism. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Kristopher Wilson (RELEASED)
050214-N-4166B-100 Pacific Ocean (Feb. 14, 2005) - An F/A-18C Hornet, assigned to the Vigilantes of Strike Fighter Squadron One Five One (VFA-151), center, launches as another F/A-18 Hornet prepares for launch on the flight deck aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). Lincoln and embarked Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) are currently deployed to the Western Pacific Ocean. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Jordon R. Beesley (RELEASED)
An agenda of "you can't spoon-feed the American people a truckload of crap any longer" seems like a worthy one, don't you think?
