Mexico to U.S. Tunnel Discovered

From CNN.com: Authorities unearth 1,200-yard tunnel into U.S.

This article should cause you to think long and hard about the safety of our country. According to the article, this is the third tunnel found in 3 years, two in less than a month, and 15 since late 2001.

Some of you will shrug your shoulders and say, "Who cares? What does that have to do with me?" Well, let's really think about this:

1. Unrestricted access to move drugs into this country.
2. Unrestricted access to allow terrorists into this country.
3. Unnrestricted access to allow weapons of any kind into this country.

Are you getting the picture yet?

Oh, and one last thing before you move to Ireland...
All of the U.S. security agencies, e.g. NSA, FBI, CIA, etc. believe that sometime in the next ten years, a major interior attack will happen beyond the scale of 9/11.

I'm sure President Bush will be to blame for all of this.

Hillary Clinton: Pain in the Mouth

From CNN.com: Clinton: Bush explanation on NSA program is "far-fetched"

Let's be honest: The Bush Administration is far from perfect. Republicans and Democrats can't seem to agree on anything except spending our money. Everyone in Congress is to blame.

This week, we have Senator Clinton weighing in on President Bush's use of wiretapping. Last week, she remarked that Congress was run like a, "plantation".

Now I don't know about you, but if I were contemplating the 2008 Presidency, I wouldn't be shooting off my mouth. Clinton's cronies, e.g. Howard Dean and John Kerry, do a fine enough job without her help. But alas, it is a free country right?

Again, here is a warning shot across the bow of the USS Democrat: Stop the garbage criticisms. We, the people, are tired of it. If you had any common sense, you would be on the front lines of helping people who are in need. You should focus on this country's greatness, and it's citizens, instead of consistently slamming the President.

Your mouth is killing your credibility.

A Tragedy & Prayer

Occasionally, I read Neal Boortz’s, “Nealz Nuze”, for his rants on the liberals, conservatives, and folks without too much common sense. In this mornings Nuze however, Boortz writes on yesterday’s tragic accident that took the lives of seven children.

After reading it twice, I somehow get the feeling Boortz is pointing a finger at the parents of the teenage driver, 15 year-old Cynthia Mann, who did NOT cause the accident. In Florida, it is illegal for a 15 year-old to drive without an adult. Boortz believes that, if an adult were driving the vehicle, somehow they would still be alive. Either that, or he is sadly trying to figure out if the tragedy could have been prevented. Neal is not a mean spirited person, nor does he hate teenagers. Knowing Neal like I think I do, he is very sad for these people.

After reading the CNN article, I believe the only way this accident could have been prevented, is with the driver of the truck. There was nothing Ms. Mann could have done to prevent the accident. Why?

Imagine being stopped behind a school bus two car-lengths in distance. The speed limit is 60 miles per hour. Behind you comes a tractor-trailer truck, driving 60 mph, that doesn’t brake and barrels into you. Think of the force. Think of the reaction time. Now if you read the article, there were NO skid marks from the truck. None.

Whether the driver were 15 or 45, it would not have mattered.

Please pray for the Mann family. I have two boys and I cannot imagine life without them. Children are our gifts from God. Tell them often that you love them and never forget the joy they bring you.

33 Years of Roe vs. Wade

From CNN.com: Both sides march on Roe anniversary

As my wife and I watched the demonstrations on the TV this morning, we couldn't help but shake our heads. We understand the need for protesting and letting differing voices be heard, but something just wasn't right.

Maybe while both anti- and pro-abortion advocates were marching, there was a woman somewhere who needed to hear a voice of love, understanding, mercy, and grace. A woman who is pregnant and feeling alone and afraid. A woman who doesn't know whom to turn to.

There is hope for the helpless,
Rest for the weary,
And love for the broken heart.

There is grace and forgiveness,
Mercy and healing,
He'll meet you wherever you are.

Cry out to Jesus
Cry out to Jesus

(Third Day)

Dear Christian friends, please remember: There are people hurting right now who desperately need to see the compassionate face of Jesus. They're not looking for church-lingo or bible-ese. They're looking for Christ's love and grace. Won't you pray for these people or, if you personally know someone who is hurting, show them the love of Christ.

Ephesians 5:1-2 (NIV)
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Super Bowl: Pittsburgh vs. Seattle

Both Pittsburgh and Seattle proved to everyone they earned their spot in this year's Super Bowl. Pittsburgh went 3-0 versus the top 3 AFC seeded teams. Ben Roethlisberger was hot as the Steelers' defense held their ground. Seattle stayed on top and never relented against their opponents. Matt Hasselbeck was on fire and Shaun Alexander proved, without a doubt, why he is the top running back in the NFL.

My Super Bowl prediction: Seattle will win by 3. I don't expect a blowout by any means. Both teams' defenses are incredible. Seattle has veteran Wistrom and rookie Tatupu as Pittsburgh has Farrior and Polamalu. Tough...very tough. Regarding the QB's, Hasselbeck has a slight edge over Roethlisberger. Hasselbeck has been in the league for seven years compared to Roethlisberger's two. Of course, on the field of battle, that doesn't mean a thing.

As usual, turnovers and penalties will be the key to whomever wins.
