In his book The Call, Os Guinness tells a story about Arthur Burns, chairman of the US Federal Reserve Board during the 1970s. Burns, who was Jewish, became part of a Bible study held at the White House at that time. One day, those in the group listened in surprise as Burns prayed, "O God, may the day come when all Jews will come to know Jesus." But an even bigger surprise came when he prayed for the time "when all Christians will come to know Jesus."
Burns hit on a profound truth we all need to wrestle with. Even if we claim the name of Jesus Christ, it may not be evident to others that we really know Him. Do we have a personal relationship with Him? If so, are we striving, praying, and working to know Jesus more intimately each day?
Peter, a man who knew Jesus well, said that "the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord" will bring us multiplied "grace and peace" (2 Peter 1:2). Knowing Jesus gives us "all things that pertain to life and godliness" (v.3). And knowledge of Jesus will help us develop character traits that show the world that we are connected to Him (vv.5-8).
Can you and I honestly say, "I know Jesus better today than I did yesterday"? Dave Branon
The better you know Jesus in your heart, the more the world will see Jesus in your life.

Absolutely insulting! What will you do about it???
Final Design Announced
The design for the permanent Memorial for Flight 93 was announced on September 7, 2005 amid overwhelming support . .
So the mark of the Jihadists will forever emblazon our landscape. Is it time to cry for America yet...???????????? This design seems to be a fitting memorial for the Muslims who died aboard Flt 93. The hijackers whose ashes are fused into the shale with those of their victims, of all the shapes, in all of geometry, they pick the symbol of Muslim power, THE CRESCENT!!!
Why not a monument of the passengers beating the crap out of the hijackers?
"When it comes to a memorial, all mankind sympathizes," he said." The idea of the Crescent of Embrace, Murdoch said, is to be a gesture of healing and bonding.
Muslims didn't/don't sympathize - THEY consider this to have been a great victory!
This is like making a holocaust memorial in the shape of a swastika. Absolutely disgusting. I think is a slap in the face of every solider that is fighting terrorism now. And a shameful way to honor those that have died in this fight.
Recognize it for what it is....
A commemoration for those who bravely died in their fight to expand islam!
Fouad El Bayly, leader of the Islamic Center of Johnstown, said the crescent isn't a holy symbol, but one identified with the lunar Muslim calendar.

Thank you!
Hi Cuz..
Hi backatcha!
Howdy, Rus.
I do plan on contacting my elected people about the Flight 93 Memorial.....right after I finish chewing my way through the school district office in the morning.
It seems we have a few people in the superintendent's office, including one of the assistant supers that doesn't understand No Child Left Behind means the smart kids as well.

We are dealing with the schools here too..
My son (11th grade) was home schooled last year and the school doesn't want to let him in at the 11th grade level.
We were forced to comply with NYState education law, submit reports blah, blah. blah...
Now they want him to take 8 tests?!!
I called a state rep who knows me very well and knows that I will rip a new one into the school if they don't resolve this pronto.
Yes schools are frustrating.
I should say Mrs Mayor is dealing with it, she has much more patience than I.
I will just get elected and straighten out some of the BS..
