On the Show Today

Zarqawi in the Vise: American and Iraqi Forces inch ever closer to nabbing Zarqawi. Time could be running out for him. What will his capture mean for Iraq--and us?

Conservatives Sell Out: Conservative politicians like Sen. Sam Brownback won't protect the border--but they will protect the flag from being burned. Are they trying to buy your vote?

Kennedy Goes to Rehab: Kennedy made his apologies and turned himself over to the Mayo Clinic. But is he still a threat to society? And what should we do about those cops who gave him special treatment?

Good morning Bahbah...thanks for the ping! Gen Hayden's nomination will be announced at 9:30 a.m. EDT...I hope the darn Republicans get back into line. I am getting SO tired of the Congresscritters jumping ship over the least little thing. And then there's Arlen Specter.

Looting The Camp

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: 2 Kings 5:15-27

Did not my heart go with you . . . ? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing? —2 Kings 5:26

While visiting a US Civil War battlefield in Virginia, I was struck by a story about an army unit that arrived too late for a major battle. The troops had stopped to loot a camp abandoned by their enemy. By taking what they felt they needed, they could not accomplish their mission.

That seems to describe the failure of the prophet Elisha’s servant Gehazi, who sought money and clothing from Naaman, a Syrian military commander (2 Kings 5:20-25). Elisha told Naaman how to be cured of his leprosy, but he refused any gift or payment from him (v.16). Gehazi, however, decided to get something for himself (v.20). In a stinging rebuke, Elisha said to Gehazi: “Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing . . . ? Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever” (vv.26-27).

The desire for personal gain can be a snare in our service for the Lord. It may be the subtle lure of recognition or the fatal attraction of financial reward. Any motive that changes our focus from giving to God to getting from Him poses a real spiritual danger.

Greed makes us believe that we deserve what we desire. That leads us down the wrong road. May God give us the wisdom to avoid the sin of Gehazi. —David C. McCasland

God’s riches fill up our supply,
Whatever we may need,
So we can then be generous,
And not controlled by greed.  —Sper

Live to give.

Good morning all.

The Tony Detector is armed and ready. If anything shows up, you'll be the first to know.

The last info that I had was that Tony would be traveling with the President though Wednesday, and that the first regular briefing is due Thursday. But, I am sure everything is subject to change.

They need to change the White House Briefing Page:

Court TV: InsideSupermax

Monday, May 8 at 8:00pm Eastern/Pacific; 7:00pm Central [Court TV channel]

It's the newest wave in crime and punishment: the "Supermax" penitentiary. Is it the only way to keep the country's toughest inmates under control… or a violation of human rights? Utah State Prison houses over 4,000 inmates, including "super-maximum" security buildings where Utah's most violent and unstable inmates live on 23-hour lockdown. Join "Inside" and go behind the walls to see how elite correctional officers rely on state-of-the-art facilities and an arsenal of weapons in an environment where letting their guard down for a moment could be a matter of life or death.
