			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://trommetter.com/log/archives/categories/government/" title="Government"><img class="alignright size-medium" src="/log/archives/topicgovernment.gif" align="right" width="90" height="62" alt="Government" /></a>
<a href="http://trommetter.com/log/archives/categories/religion/" title="Religion"><img class="alignright size-medium" src="/log/archives/topicreligion.gif" align="right" width="53" height="80" alt="Religion" /></a>
<p>In a speech at the <a class="zem_slink" title="National Day of Prayer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day_of_Prayer" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">National Day of Prayer</a> Breakfast, Obama tried to justify a <a class="zem_slink" title="Progressive tax" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_tax" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">progressive tax</a> by quoting from the <a class="zem_slink" title="Bible" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Bible</a>.</p>
<div>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;To whom much is given, much shall be required.&#8221; ~<a class="zem_slink" title="Barack Obama" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Barack Obama</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The closest actual Biblical quote I could find was in the <a class="zem_slink" title="Gospel of Luke" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Luke" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">book of Luke</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare <em>himself</em> or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many <em>stripes.</em> But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. <strong>For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required</strong>; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more. ~ <a href="http://bible.us/Luke12.47-48.KJV" target="_blank">Luke 12:47-49</a></p></blockquote>
<p>In context, <a class="zem_slink" title="Jesus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Jesus</a> was talking about the responsibility of a slave to his master. In modern times this could be applied to an employer and employee relationship. I think it&#8217;s pretty clear that Jesus was not talking about taxes in this parable.</p>
<p>Then again, maybe Obama thinks government is supposed to be our master and we&#8217;re all slaves?</p>
<p>No matter what Obama&#8217;s speech writer was thinking, I still think that it&#8217;s <a title="Government vs. Christian Charity" href="http://trommetter.com/log/charity/">not government&#8217;s role to force us to be charitable</a>.</p>

On <a class="zem_slink" title="Talk radio" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_radio" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">talk radio</a> this morning <a class="zem_slink" title="Terrell Suggs" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrell_Suggs" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Terrell Suggs</a>, <a class="zem_slink" title="Linebacker" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linebacker" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">LB</a> for the <a class="zem_slink" title="Baltimore Ravens" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Ravens" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Baltimore Ravens</a>, decided to take a cheap shot at Denver QB Tim Tebow.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;With all due respect, we don’t need God on our sidelines. Once again God had to save Tim Tebow and the <a class="zem_slink" title="Denver Broncos" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Broncos" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Denver Broncos</a>. He couldn’t even give them two drives. Seven to three?&#8221; ~Suggs</p></blockquote>
<p>Anytime you have to say, &#8220;With all due respect&#8230;&#8221; it means you&#8217;re about to disrespect somebody. I think Suggs is just the latest celebrity to suffer from <a title="Bundlr - Tebow Derangement Syndrome" href="http://bit.ly/wuRage" target="_blank">Tebow Derangement Syndrome</a>.<br />
<span id="more-15570"></span><br />
Since making the offensive remarks, Suggs has been criticized by a lot of people including <a class="zem_slink" title="Terry Bradshaw" href="http://www.biography.com/people/terry-bradshaw-224915" rel="biographycom" target="_blank">Terry Bradshaw</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You can take shots at Tim, but when you go messing with God, that&#8217;s a different story. Suggs is obviously an idiot; he has no clue what he&#8217;s talking about. He better be careful; if I were him I&#8217;d be on my hands and knees tonight asking for forgiveness because that’s totally unacceptable.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- no icon --><p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-15292" title="Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" src="http://trommetter.com/log/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/rudolph-e1323891579988-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" />I&#8217;m getting really tired of <a title="New Low for Tebow Derangement Syndrome" href="http://troms.me/4iz" target="_blank">people hating</a> on <a class="zem_slink" title="Tim Tebow" href="http://www.timtebow.com" rel="homepage" target="_blank">Tebow</a>. I&#8217;m no the only one. Sports writer Pierce King <a href="http://troms.me/4iv">sums up the situation</a> like this:</p>
<blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;">
<p align="left">Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I would have been the first to tell you that Tebow was not going to be a good <a class="zem_slink" title="Lists of NFL starting quarterbacks" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_NFL_starting_quarterbacks" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">NFL quarterback</a>, and then again I probably would have been one of the reindeer hanging with <a class="zem_slink" title="Santa Claus's reindeer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus%27s_reindeer" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Dasher</a> or Dancer talking smack about Rudolf behind his back as well.</p>
<p align="left">Look how that turned out.</p>
<p align="left">Everyone &#8212; even his head coach <a class="zem_slink" title="John Fox (American football)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fox_%28American_football%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">John Fox</a> and executive vice president <a class="zem_slink" title="John Elway" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Elway" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">John Elway</a> &#8212; seems to be hating on Tebow because he&#8217;s not like great <a class="zem_slink" title="Quarterback" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterback" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">quarterbacks</a> of the past, but that&#8217;s the beauty of Tebow &#8230; and Rudolf.</p>
<p align="left">They&#8217;re not like their predecessors. But you know what? They get the job done.</p>
<p align="left">Last time I checked, winning was the most important thing in football, and Tebow seems to be doing just that.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">There&#8217;s nothing wrong with winning and giving God all the credit. More of us should be like Timmy in our <a title="John 15:5" href="http://bible.us/John15.5.NLT" target="_blank">everyday lives</a>. God is not a footbal fan, but he is a fan of those who <a title="Matthew 10:32" href="http://bible.us/Matt10.32.NLT" target="_blank">acknowledge Jesus</a>!</p>

<a href="http://trommetter.com/log/archives/categories/religion/" title="Religion"><img class="alignright size-medium" src="/log/archives/topicreligion.gif" align="right" width="53" height="80" alt="Religion" /></a>
<p>That&#8217;s what it says in the <a class="zem_slink" title="Declaration of Independence" rel="homepage" href="http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/index.htm">Declaration of Independence</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that <a class="zem_slink" title="All men are created equal" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_men_are_created_equal">all men are created equal</a>, that they are <strong>endowed by their Creator with certain <a class="zem_slink" title="Natural and legal rights" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_and_legal_rights">unalienable Rights</a>,</strong> that among these are <strong>Life</strong>, <strong>Liberty </strong>and the <strong>pursuit of Happiness</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>No matter how many times godless liberals tell us about &#8220;separation of church and state,&#8221; they&#8217;re wrong. They believe if you tell the big lie enough times, that will make it true. It doesn&#8217;t.<br />
<span id="more-13389"></span><br />
Government does not give us Life, <strong><a class="zem_slink" title="God" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God">God</a> gives us life</strong>. Misguided judicial rulings and immoral legislation have given us a culture of death. How did we go from a country that valued life so much to a culture that allows so-called doctors to kill innocent babies? We forgot, <strong>God gives us life</strong>.</p>
<p>Government does not give us Liberty, <strong>God gives us liberty</strong>. <a class="zem_slink" title="Benjamin Franklin" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin">Benjamin Franklin</a> said, &#8220;Those who would give up <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Bill of Rights" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights">Essential Liberty</a> to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.&#8221; We cannot allow the government to impose new laws that limit our freedom. That&#8217;s the bottom line philosophy of those involved in the <a class="zem_slink" title="Tea Party movement" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement">TEA Party movement</a>. When God sets you free from sin you have true Liberty!</p>
<p>Government does not allow us to pursue happiness. Government <strong>limits </strong>our ability to pursue happiness. Government has imposed such an onerous burden on small business owners that it has stifled our economic growth. I&#8217;ve heard countless stories of people who want to expand their business but won&#8217;t or can&#8217;t because there is too much <a class="zem_slink" title="Regulation" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation">government regulation</a>. They have no idea how much it will cost to comply with new government regulations, like <a class="zem_slink" title="Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act">ObamaCare</a>, so they put off hiring new workers. This limits everyone&#8217;s ability to pursue happiness.</p>
<p>Obedience to God is the only true way to <strong>pursue happiness</strong>.</p>

<p>Was this statement made by a liberal or a conservative?</p>
<blockquote><p>The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ll give you a hint. His birthday is today. <span id="more-11912"></span></p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong> &#8220;Reverend&#8221; <a class="zem_slink" title="Martin Luther King, Jr." rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King%2C_Jr.">Martin Luther King, Jr.</a></p>

<p>I had never seen my Grandmother&#8217;s obituary before because I couldn&#8217;t read when I was five-years old. My Father-in-law found this on a genealogy website.</p>
<blockquote><p>Mrs. Anna Evans, of 1520 Center St., <a class="zem_slink" title="Ashland, Pennsylvania" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashland%2C_Pennsylvania">Ashland</a>, died at her home at 7 am Saturday. She was born in Girardville March 17, 1915, a daughter of the late DeLance and Laura (Wagner) Jones.</p>
<p>She was a former resident of Locustdale. Mrs. Evans was previously hospitalized.</p>
<p>She was a member of Bethany Evangelical Church, Ashland and the Auxiliary to the Prince of Peace Commandery 39, Ashland. Surviving are her husband, Warren, a daughter, Laura, wife of James Trommetter, of <a class="zem_slink" title="Coopersburg, Pennsylvania" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coopersburg%2C_Pennsylvania">Coopersburg</a>; a sister, Mrs. Alice Horbach, of Ashland; two grandchildren, one nephew.</p>
<p>Services will be held Tuesday morning at the Kull Funeral Home with Rev. H. David Albright of Bethany Church officiating; interment in Christ Church Cemetery, Fountain Springs.</p></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://www.wkyt.com/Global/story.asp?S=4928301">Judge Blocks Prayer, Students Defy Judge&#8217;s Order</a></p>
<blockquote><p>The senior class at a southern Kentucky high school gave their response Friday night to a federal judge&#8217;s order banning prayer at commencement.</p></blockquote>
<p>About 200 seniors stood during the principal&#8217;s opening remarks and began reciting the Lord&#8217;s Prayer, prompting a standing ovation from a standing-room only crowd at the Russell County High School gymnasium.</p>
<p>The thunderous applause drowned out the last part of the prayer.</p>
