The Good Shepherd Is Slain.

Prayer

Almighty and Everlasting God, who willed that our Savior should take upon
Him our flesh and should suffer death upon the cross, so that all mankind
should follow the example of His great humility, mercifully grant that we may
both imitate the model of His patience and become partakers of His Resurrection;
through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Supreme Court Deciding Same Sex Marriage; Is Polygamy A Fundamental Right? Asks Justice Sotamayor.

• Having numerous wives is a problem.
• That's why there is a law against it.
• Not for Muslims or Mormons.
• The Bible says no to either lifestyle.
• Polygamy is at least a natural sex union.
• Wives in polygamy do not have equal rights.
•  Observe Muslim's treatment of women.
• Gays and others; be satisfied with civil unions.

Obamacare Appears to Fall Dramatically Short of Its Promises.

• Obama, may hold the record on lies.
• How long will the uninformed or greedy voters who voted for Obama wake up?
• There are at this time, several impeachable offenses,  but no one dares.
• Not yet anyway.
• This bill passed in a few hours without anyone reading it. 
• That's a crime in itself. Dereliction of duty, which these congress critters swore to uphold.
• In the military, a severe penalty would incur. 
• We cannot get true and fair justice with ignorant voters.

Sunday Psalm and Prayer.

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel
   of the ungodly,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and
   night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives
   away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
   judgement.
Nor sinners in the congregation of the
   righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the
   righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

In the America of brown-bag school lunches, the lunches that were lovingly put in the bags were generally not only bought and paid for by moms and dads, they were made and packed by moms and dads.
But concomitant with the rise of the federally subsidized lunch, there has been a decline in moms and dads.

 An excerpt from the news article,  

Given the Democratic majority in the Senate, not to mention Republican divisions on the issue, defunding Obamacare remains an impossibility.  But there is a sense that what Cruz started (with Lee joining in almost immediately), is gathering momentum.  There was no better sign than the statement released by McConnell on Friday.  “Obamacare is a costly mistake that we cannot afford and my preference would be to repeal it, root and branch,” the Minority Leader said.  “We are going to have a number of spending and budget bills in the coming weeks.  I know Ted Cruz is planning to offer an amendment to defund Obamacare and I look forward to supporting him.” 

• A super majority of Americans did not want Obamacare at the very onset.

Aside from its effects on policy at the Pentagon, where Hagel will start his job with a diminished stature, the enduring legacy of the Hagel confirmation fight will likely be increased division between the two parties on Israel policy. Many of Hagel's professed views about Israel would, until very recently, have been unacceptable to Democrats as well as Republicans.

An excerpt the news report.

In many cases, these detentions occur in victims’ homes, in front of family members; in others, they take place at security checkpoints, at workplaces or in public venues, such as bars,” the report says. “When victims’ relatives inquire about detainees’ whereabouts at the headquarters of security forces and public prosecutors’ offices, they are told that the detentions never took place.”
Adding to the agony of family members, the prosecutors who are asked to investigate routinely blame the victims, suggesting that they had connections to organized crime or simply ran off for romantic liaisons, the report says. Then they tell the families to conduct searches on their own, sloughing off investigative responsibilities.

• No one asks about the 30 American survivors who were moved out, never to be seen or heard from again. Very strange.
• The 30 survivors certainly would have interesting information about what happened.
• So many involved in this, you would think someone would come forward.
• Then we have North Korea and Iran ready to nuke us.
• Leadership we need, but where is it?
• We have to pray for our great US of A.

Sunday Psalm and Prayer

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel
   of the ungodly,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and
   night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives
   away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
   judgement.
Nor sinners in the congregation of the
   righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the
   righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

New King James Version 

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

Was Obama Unwilling to Be Available on Benghazi Sept.11 Fateful Night?

• If true, dereliction of duty, an impeachable offense.
• Shows cowardice.
• Why was an Admiral and a General deposed after 9/11?

An excerpt from the report,

If Panetta is to be believed -- and we can only assume that if he is lying, he is doing so to protect his boss from even worse revelations -- then Obama was either completely unavailable that night (September 11!) or completely unwilling to take steps to help Americans who he knew were in the process of being killed in Benghazi.

• Obama had the power to save, but did nothing.
• Senator Graham says he will keep pushing for the reason of Obama's absence.
• Would of been great to have this hearing before the election.

• It has always been the the military to go after when cuts are needed.
• Republicans are introducing a bill to stop federal workers pay raises. Good for them!

Our Liberty Is Being Taken Away. Second Amendment Insures Our Constitutional Rights.

Russia Warns Americans: Never Surrender Your Guns.

• The Second Amendment, our most important right.
• America is being attacked by our President Obama.
• The Democrats always have been working to take our guns.

An excerpt from the news report,

Writing in the newspaper Pravda, where he is a regular contributor, Stanislav Mishin, notes that one of the first things the early Communist rulers did was to disarm the population. "From that point," he says, "mass repression, mass arrests, mass deportations, mass murder, mass starvation were all a safe game for the powers that were. The worst they had to fear was a pitchfork in the guts or a knife in the back or the occasional hunting rifle."
Even with the demise of the Soviet Union, Stalin-era gun restrictions continue with Mishin giving the reason: "For those of us fighting for our traditional rights, the U.S. 2nd Amendment is a rare light in an ever-darkening room. Governments will use the excuse of trying to protect the people from maniacs and crime. But in reality, it is the bureaucrats protecting their power and position."

Obama's Past 4 Years of Economic Woes; Latest Gallup Reveals Outlook Is Dismal.

• It is going to get far worse.
• An aside note: Increase in gun sales is a very scary indication.

 An excerpt from the report,

By a nearly two-to-one margin Americans are certain that 2013 will see 12 months of economic troubles. That seems like a pretty safe expectation since that's what we've had for four years of this administration, despite $800 billion-plus in wasted economic stimulus. Call it Obama Continuity.
The two-thirds (65%) who see a tough economic year ahead, despite Obama's improving golf game, is one of the highest percentage of gloom-sayers since Gallup first asked the question 48 years ago.

• Socialism has failed repeatedly, but we are not convinced yet! 
• We can blame ourselves for this.

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere,

And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,

And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
