Founders Ministries Blog: A display of divine greatness and mercy
This is the direct link to Pastor Tom Ascol's blog on his being struck by lightening and escaping relatively unscathed. This man is clearly dedicated to His Lord, had right theology in place going into a this trial and it is being strengthened in this trial. I posted the blog below before having read his post and after reading his junior pastor Timmy Brister's blog requesting prayer for him. It was the second to the last thing I read before I finally got to sleep last night and I was so very blessed that I had. I highly recommend reading his blog post!
God bless

Trials put in perspective

I just read a blog post from Pastor Timmy Brister @ Provocations & Pantings
The short version is his Sr Pastor had been dealing with a back injury and then the issue was compounded on Monday night when he was struck by lightening while (along with police officers who had responded to his home.) investigating his home alarm going off and finding two unlocked vehicles which the officers encouraged him to go down and lock. In the process of locking one of the cars he reached for the handle of the car and both the car and he by contact were struck by lightening. The officers immediately responded and he was attended to by paramedics but refused further treatment at the time. He was checked out the next day by his physician and he is now suffering after affects of the lightening strike. Please join me in prayer for this faithful man and servant of our Lord. If you would like to read Pastor Ascol's take on the events of that night please go to Founders Ministries Blog - A display of divine greatness and mercy

What is at stake in Election 2008

It is my sincere hope that the people planning on voting in the 2008 elections (especially the presidential election) will be informed voters. Not just vote a party line, not just vote a catchy slogan, not just vote based on what celebrity is endorsing or not endorsing a candidate. Be informed, know what you believe in on the issues and know what the candidates believe in and have voted for.
The most critical issue of the 2008 election will not be the price of oil, it will not be immigration, it will not be secure boarders, it will not be the war in Iraq or any of the other places we have men and women stationed and serving valiantly, it will not be higher or lower taxes, it will not be pork barrel spending, it will not be any of these important issues the most important issue will be the issue of life.

Check out some of these web sites and educate yourself about what is truly at stake.

Quote from abortion survivor Gianna Jessen - Today, a baby is a baby when convenient. It is tissue or otherwise when the time is not right. A baby is a baby when miscarriage takes place at two, three, four months. A baby is called a tissue or clumps of cells when an abortion takes place at two, three, four months. Why is that? I see no difference. What are you seeing? Many close there eyes... Read her own account of her failed abortion @ Abortionfacts.com - Survivor Story - Gianna Jessen
