We Remember

We were getting dressed. We were going to hear the Oklahoma City Philharmonic at the civic center in Downtown OKC. We were running a bit late, as I recall, and trying to get out the door. And as always when you’re in a hurry, the phone rang. It was my grandma (Grammie) on the other end of the phone. She had a very excited tone in her voice. She told my Mom that there had been a bomb go off downtown. “A Bomb?” said my mom….. Thinking it was probably another pipe bomb in a mailbox or a gas line rupture, but she decided to turn on the TV anyway. What we saw on that screen that day would haunt us for the rest of our lives. In no way did we expect that…. We saw our fellow Oklahomans struggling through what would prove to be the darkest day in Oklahoma history. As we looked out the picture window of our living room, we could see the dark cloud of smoke rising in the distance. This dark cloud would consume the lives of 168 people and countless friends and loved ones. I was 9 years old at the time of the Murrah building bombing…. But it seems like yesterday.

 Please continue to pray for the families of the victims. It may no longer be headline news, and the yearly memorial may only get a 30 second blip on CNN, but Oklahomans remember. The families remember.

The Two Powerful Kings

Many years ago lived a very powerful king who claimed to be the son of god. He was feared by his enemies and loved by his followers. He conquered all that stood in his way and let nothing stifle his ambition. Bloodshed, cruel treatment of enemies,concubines and homosexual tendencies were his M.O. He had set up his kingdom over the entire known Earth. He died at the age of 33 with all these accomplishments and had nothing to show for it. Many years ago lived a very powerful King who was the Son of God. He was both feared and loved.... And hated. He conquered all that stood in His way. Even if it meant conquering through His own death. He let nothing stifle His mission. Love, kindness, patience, joy, peace, understanding, sacrifice.... and bloodshed were his M.O. He came to establish His Kingdom. He left to prepare a place for us. He died at the age of 33....and if all he had to show for it was you.... He wouldn't have changed a thing. One man conquers the world with a sword, the other with three nails. One man rules through violence and commands loyalty, while the other leads through grace and commands us to love each other. Alexander the Great and Jesus Christ both lived to the age of 33. Both conquered the world... But only one conquered death. What kingdom are you fighting for? What camp are you in? Before you hunt any eggs this weekend or eat an entire bag of jelly beans in one setting... Stop. Remember what it is that makes this a special weekend. Christ loves you. He suffered for you. He died for you. Before you get caught up in the festivities of the weekend, remember to thank Him. It's the least we can do.

Obama like Hitler?

A while back, country music legend Hank Williams Jr. compared President Obama to Hitler. He later apologized for the comment.... But was he so wrong? Let's look in more detail. The similarities are terrifying, the conclusion inevitable. On March 23, 1933, the German Parliment met to consider passing a bill that Adolf Hitler had created called the Enabling Act. It was officially called the 'Law for Removing the Distress of the People and the Reich.' Why were the German people in such distress? Because their government was in utter chaos, and the German leaders wanted to reassure the people that everything would be ok. The only fly in the ointment was that the Nazis had, behind the scenes, caused the distress themselves by creating the crisis, so that they could step in and solve it. Sound familiar? America under Obama is now a democratic Republic in name only Hitler promised the German people that the government would "make use of these powers only insofar as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures...The number of cases in which an internal necessity exists for having recourse to such a law is in itself a limited one." So the German congress voted on the bill, with the end result being the legal destruction of the German Democratic Republic. The bill gave Hitler enormous, unprecedented powers to do as he saw fit for the government of the German people. It was the act that offically created a legal dictator who was answerable to no one. The people cheered, and National Socialism became the law of the land from that day forward. source - The History Place Powerful speeches to hypnotize and control the eager masses who came to hear them speak Today, Barack Obama is changing times and laws in America, giving himself unprecedented power never before seen. His ObamaCare bill. now the law of the land, empowers him to create his own private army, forces citizens to abide by unconstitutional laws, and will use the IRS in much the same way that Hitler used his brown shirts to make people get in line behind his policies. Many Americans will awake to late to the fact that Obama has subverted the United States Constitution, and stolen our precious liberties and freedoms. That's why Obama's followers are encouraged and taught to follow and have faith in Obama the man, and not in our God or in our country. This is exactly the ploy that Hitler used to great and terrible effect in Nazi Germany. Rep. Dingell admits that the goal of ObamaCare is to 'control the people'. Some people would balk at the comparison between Hitler and Obama, saying it was unfair. After all, Hitler started WWII and killed 11,000,000 Jews and Gentiles in death camps, and Obama has done nothing like that. Well, it's only unfair if you compare Hitler at the end of his rule to the beginning of Obama's. But if you compare Hitler and Obama at the beginning of their rise to power, it's extremely fair. Similiarities between Adolf Hitler & Barack Hussein Obama • Both Hitler and Obama held rallies in outdoor stadiums to excite and inflame the people's passions. Frequently women would faint or break into tears. • Both Hitler and Obama wrote ghost-written autobiographies prior to the start of their run for political office. Hitler wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle), and Obama wrote Dreams Of My Father. Both men then wrote a second book talking about their goals for German and America. Hitler wrote A New World Order, and Obama wrote The Audacity of Hope. • Both Hitler and Obama originally had last names that were changed later in life. Hitler used to be Schickelbruber, and Obama's last name was Soetoro. • Both Hitler and Obama hid their real identies. Hiter had a Jewish ancestry, and Obama a Muslim one. But unlike Hitler, Obama flaunted his Muslim roots in his start as a politician in order to defuse the inevitable firestorm. His ploy of "hiding in plain sight" worked very well. • Both Hitler and Obama's supporters followed them blindly, and without question • Both Hitler and Obama used political power and coercion to conceal and hide their birth certificates from coming to public view. Hitler made his disappear, and Obama is unwilling and unable to produce his long-form birth certificate. • Both Hitler and Obama advocate using young people as a driving force to create an "army" of youth dedicated to their Ideals. Hitler had his Hitler Youth, and Obama his Obama Youth Brigade. • Both Hitler and Obama were known for their tremendous oratorical skills • Both Hitler and Obama received Messianic comparisons, and both men had songs of adoration written about them and for them. • Like Hitler, Obama rules in direct disregard to the will and wishes of the people. • Like Hitler, Obama has an obvious distaste for the Jews, and sides with the Muslims every chance he gets. • Both Hitler and Obama were able to mezmerize the people even when it was obvious that what they were saying was not true. • Both Hitler and Obama used domestic terrorists to launch their careers. Hitler had his Brown Shirts from his beer hall days, and Obama had people like Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Rashid Khalidi. • Like Hitler, Obama advocates using murder as a means of population control.
