Merry Christmas and Blessings from Above, 2013

Greetings to All Our Patriot Friends! 

Some of you I have just now added to our e mail list. If you choose not to be on it, advise me and I will remove it right away. 

I want you to know that you are in my prayers for peace and goodwill among us. You all know that I believe our faith in Jesus Christ is exclusive. He is the way, the truth and the life. Apart from Him their is no light and life. John 1; 4,"Life itself was in Him and this life gives light to everyone."

I wrote this message about three Christmas's ago for a friend. The message transcends time because God dwells in eternity where time has a beginning and an end. I hope you are blessed.

Isn't Christmas about Promise?

      First and most important, the promise that we are loved, so richly and purely. Priceless! But there is so much more.... that right will prevail. That truth exist. That life is everlasting. That there are rewards for doing good and punishment for doing evil. Justice was established and is written in our hearts. There is a God in heaven and He came to live on earth in a most humble and helpless way so He could be like us. 

    

      Yes, God is intimately involved with mankind! He made all of the heavens and the earth, complete with the sun, the moon, and stars; mountains, hills, valleys; rivers, seas, oceans; clouds, rain, rainbows. All this for us! Who else could imagine such beauty? Who can speak of all the innumerable living creatures with myriad characteristics of creation? Even so, God's crowning glory is mankind!

     Because He became  human in a most humble state, even though Jesus was God's One and Only Son, He learned obedience from the things He suffered. He became the source of everlasting light and life for all who obey Him. 

Simeon, whom Scripture calls righteous and devout prophecied about Jesus saying, "I have seen the Saviour you have given to all people. He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and He is the glory of your people Israel!" Luke 2: 30-32. Through Him we are rescued from the sin and the law. Still today He is a source of controversy within our hearts and without. He is able to deal gently with people, though they are wayward and ignorant of holiness. 

     Even as that is the ultimate promise....it is better still!  In our days living under the shadow of death, He promises to be faithful and true.To be our constant companion and helper, our comfort and healer, our provider, our counselor, our peace. He is even more for the one who will search Him out, the treasure hunter.  Unbelievable? Luke 1:37, "Nothing is impossible with God."

     And Jesus Christ is our King! His kingdom is coming! He promises to rule forever with fairness and justice. The world will be in peace. 

     Because I am His passion....He has become my passion. That is why I sing, "Glory to God in the Highest Heaven and Peace on Earth, Goodwill toward Men." Luke 2:14

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Blessings to everyone,
"O give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples."

"Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,..." I Chr 16:15

"Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first, most basic, expression of Americanism. Thus the Founding Fathers of America saw it, and thus with God's help, it will continue to be." ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower ~

                Air Force expert on Benghazi

  "Hands" Handley is a well-respected USAF fighter pilot.
Here is his short resume of accomplishments.

Colonel Phil "Hands" Handley is credited with the highest speed air- to-air gun kill in the history of aerial combat. He flew operationally for all but 11 months of a 26-year career, in aircraft such as the F-86 Sabre, F-15 Eagle, and the C-130A Hercules.
Additionally, he flew 275 combat missions during two tours in Southeast Asia in the F- 4D and F-4E.

His awards include 21 Air Medals, 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and the Silver Star.

         
Here is what Col. Handley wrote in response to Panetta and Dempsey's claims there was no time to send help to Benghazi.

Betrayal in Benghazi

Phil "Hands" Handley Colonel, USAF (Ret.)
           
The combat code of the US Military is that we don't abandon our dead or wounded on the battlefield. In US Air Force lingo, fighter pilots don't run off and leave their wingmen. If one of our own is shot down, still alive and not yet in enemy captivity, we will either come to get him or die trying.
           
Among America 's fighting forces, the calm, sure knowledge that such an irrevocable bond exists is priceless.

Along with individual faith and personal grit, it is a sacred trust that has often sustained hope in the face of terribly long odds.
           
The disgraceful abandonment of our Ambassador and those brave ex-SEALs who fought to their deaths to save others in that compound is nothing short of dereliction-of-duty.
           
Additionally, the patently absurd cover-up scenario that was fabricated in the aftermath was an outright lie in an attempt to shield the President and the Secretary of State from responsibility.
           
It has been over eight months since the attack on our compound in Benghazi .

The White House strategy, with the aid of a "lap dog" press has been to run out the clock before the truth is forthcoming.
The recent testimonies of the three "whistle blowers" have reopened the subject and hopefully will lead to exposure and disgrace of those responsible for this embarrassing debacle.

It would appear that the most recent firewall which the Administration is counting on is the contention "that there were simply no military assets that could be brought to bear in time to make a difference" mainly due to the unavailability of tanker support for fighter aircraft.
           
This is simply BS, regardless how many supposed "experts" the Administration trot out to make such an assertion.
           
The bottom line is that even if the closest asset capable of response was half-way around the world, you don't just sit on your penguin ass and do nothing.
           
The fact is that the closest asset was not half-way around the world, but as near as Aviano Air Base, Italy where two squadrons of F-16Cs are based.
           
Consider the following scenario (all times Benghazi local):

When Hicks in Tripoli receives a call at 9:40 PM from Ambassador Stevens informing him "Greg, we are under attack!" (his last words), Hicks immediately notifies all agencies and prepares for the immediate initiation of an existing "Emergency Response Plan."
           
At AFRICON, General Carter Ham attempts to mount a rescue effort, but is told to "stand down".

By 10:30 PM an unarmed drone is overhead the compound and streaming live feed to various "Command and Control Agencies" so everyone watching that feed knew damn well what was going on.
           
At 11:30 PM Woods, Doherty and five others leave Tripoli, arriving in Benghazi at 1:30 AM on Wednesday morning, where they hold off the attacking mob from the roof of the compound until they are killed by a mortar direct hit at 4:00 AM.
           
So nothing could have been done, eh? Nonsense. If one assumes that tanker support really "was not available" what about this:
           
When at 10:00 PM AFRICON alerts the 31st TFW Command Post in Aviano Air Base, Italy of the attack, the Wing Commander orders preparation for the launch of two F-16s and advises the Command Post at NAS Sigonella to prepare for hot pit refueling and quick turn of the jets.
           
By 11:30 PM, two F-16Cs with drop tanks and each armed with five hundred 20 MM rounds are airborne.

Flying at 0.92 mach they will cover the 522 nautical miles directly to NAS Sigonella in 1.08 hours.

While in-route, the flight lead is informed of the tactical situation, rules of engagement, and radio frequencies to use.
           
The jets depart Sigonella at 1:10 AM with full fuel load and cover the 377 nautical miles directly to Benghazi in 0.8 hours, arriving at 1:50 AM which would be 20 minutes after the arrival of Woods, Doherty and their team.
           
Providing that the two F-16s initial pass over the mob, in full afterburner at 200 feet and 550 knots did not stop the attack in its tracks, a few well placed strafing runs on targets of opportunity would assuredly do the trick.
           
Were the F-16s fuel state insufficient to return to Sigonella after jettisoning their external drop tanks, they could easily do so at Tripoli International Airport, only one-half hour away.
           
As for those hand-wringing naysayers who would worry about IFR clearances, border crossing authority, collateral damage, landing rights, political correctness and dozens of other reasons not to act -- screw them. It is time our "leadership" get its priorities straight and put America's interests first.
           
The end result would be that Woods and Doherty would be alive.

Dozens in the attacking rabble would be rendezvousing with "72 virgins" and a clear message would have been sent to the next worthless POS terrorist contemplating an attack on Americans that it is not really a good idea to "tug" on Superman's cape.
           
Of course all this depends upon a Commander In Chief more concerned with saving the lives of those he put in harm's way than getting his crew rested for a campaign fund raising event in Las Vegas the next day.

It also depends upon a Secretary of State who actually understood "What difference did it make?", and a Secretary of Defense who was watching the feed from the drone and understood what the attack consisted of instead of making an immediate response that "One of the military tenants is that you don't commit assets until you fully understand the tactical situation."
           
           YGBSM! ( "You Gotta Be Shittin' Me".)
           
Ultimately it comes down to the question of who gave that order to stand down? Whoever that coward turns out to be should be exposed, removed from office, and face criminal charges for dereliction of duty. The combat forces of the Untied States of America deserve leadership that really does "have their back" when
the chips are down.

           
           
FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVE ACTUALLY TAKEN THE TIME TO READ THIS, DO ONE THING FOR ME AND FORWARD IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!  TO AVOID THIS HAPPENING  AGAIN, WHOMEVER GAVE THE "STAND DOWN" ORDER NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED!!!!

Handle it...!!!

Blessings to everyone,
"And the LORD God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Genesis 2:18........."Then the rib the rib which the LORD God had taken from man HE made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: 'This is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She shall be call Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.' Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." Genesis 2:22-24
FAMILY VALUES: ......"husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well." I Tim 3:12....
"The family has always been the cornerstone of American society. Our families nurture, preserve, and pass on to each succeeding generation the values we share and cherish, values that are the foundations of our freedoms. In the family, we learn our first lessons of God and man, love and discipline, rights and responsibilities, human dignity and human frailty.
Our families give us daily examples of these lessons being put into practice. In raising and instructing our children, in providing personal and compassionate care for the elderly, in maintaining the spiritual strength of religious commitment among our people -- in these and other ways, America's families make immeasurable contributions to America's wellbeing.
Today more than ever, it is essential that these contributions not be taken for granted and that each of us remember that the strength of our families is vital to the strength of our nation." ~ Ronald Reagan ~

Blessings to you all,
The Bible tells us that no matter what the assignment before us, we should do it as if we are doing it for the Lord Himself,....that we are to use our skill and put our heart and mind into the task. God wants the best effort from us in every area.
"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men." Col 3:23
"Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." Col 3:17
Whether, then, you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." I Cor 10:31
Too many people today tend to over-spiritualize these verses, reducing the broad term "everything" to just those things "spiritual" but that is not what these verses say.
Our Founding Fathers understood the broad scope of these passages and applied the messages to all endeavors including politics, education, law, entertainment, employment, and even dictionaries! The story of Founding Father Noah Webster's creation of his famous dictionary is an excellent illustration of how they infused the "do the absolute best I can, and do it for God" mentality in every thing they did.
Webster was one of the nation's top educators, providing the first American textbooks for classrooms. He wrote books on spelling, grammar, literature, agriculture, banking, history, government, manners, and medicine, in addition to his famous dictionary. In which he researched and traveled in order to find and understand origins and uses of words so as to properly define them. His story is fascinating and too long to share here. He used Scripture verses to illustrate the uses of words he was defining, for example: The word man was defined: "And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion." Genesis 1
Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble." Job 14 and "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone." Matt 4:4
After defining the word heart, his examples were:
"The heart is deceitful above all things" Jeremiah 17:9. "We read of an honest and good heart in Luke 8:15, of an evil heart of unbelief in Hebrews 3:12, a willing heart in Exodus 35:5, 22, a heavy heart in Proverbs 25:20, a sorrowful heart in Nehemiah 2:2, a hard heart, in Exodus 7:14, a pure heart in Matt 5:8." And so on.......Webster was so committed to doing everything for the Lord, including his massive dictionary that in the preface that that famous work, he openly dedicated it to God:
"To that great and benevolent Being, Who during the preparation of this work has sustained a feeble constitution (body) amidst obstacles and toils, disappointments, infirmities and depression; Who has borne me and my manuscripts in safety across the Atlantic and given me strength and resolution to bring this work to a close, I would present the tribute of my most grateful acknowledgements. And if the talent which He has entrusted to my care has not been put to the most profitable use in His service, I hope it has not been "kept laid up in a napkin" (Luke19:20) and that any misapplication of it may be graciously forgiven." He also announced, "I present this to my fellow citizens not with frigid indifference but with my ardent wishes for their improvement and happiness and.....the moral and religious elevation of character, and the glory, of my country."
Since it original publication in 1828, Webster's dictionary has undergone extensive censorship to remove its Christian nature; and although the most popular dictionary in America continues to bear his name, it no longer reflects the spirit of the original. Fortunately, reprints and online copies are still available and accessible for use today and highly recommended for those who wish to retain and promote a Biblical view of the English language.

"The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance of power is the scale of peace." Thomas Paine (1775)

 My son wrote this his freshmen year at NMSU. I think he did a great job. He wrote this before we ever thought about doing American Gun Culture Club.
