		<description><![CDATA[Then one day messengers arrive with the news that this little orphan has finally been adopted. And not just by anyone, but by the King himself. For some reason the King has chosen to love this poor little boy and bring him into the family. It is an official and legal adoption. This orphan is now the prince of the land, with all the privileges and authority that go with it. He now has authority over his captors, and complete freedom and victory. After all, the victories that the King has won belong to his family also, as heirs.

Only this former-orphan has a hard time believing this is true. He is not sure he has been told the truth by the King’s messengers. Of course those he's been living with, who used to be his captors, try to convince him that it is a lie and the King could never love such a dirty beggar enough to adopt him. “Why, has the King ever even seen you?” they would say. “Does he know your name? Surly this is a lie. You don’t want to be deceived do you?” For a time the orphan struggles with these doubts.

She can't get along with limited, constitutional government ideas because all her ideas are based on something completely opposite, like "let the government make our lives better no matter how big it gets." So here is just a taste of the anger that liberals have for people like me.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=preacherman80.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9346320&amp;post=104&amp;subd=preacherman80&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This man has been attacked in recent days, by the unrelenting "rumor mill", as being "unloving" and a "cult leader".

		<description><![CDATA[The kitchen area at our fast food restaurant is a lot like the submarines you see on Hollywood movies. You know, movies like "The Hunt for Red October" or "U-571", or others. These are, I assume, accurate to the nature and procedures of real submarines and their crew. 

In these movies the basic method for operating the submarine or it's weapons is is always to have an order given ("10 degrees on the dive plain") and then it is immediately repeated by the crew member responsible for carrying out that order. ("10 degrees on the dive plain, Aye.") Sometimes it's repeated three times. (Captain - "All engines ahead full!" First Mate - "All engines ahead full!" Lowly sailor assigned to unglamerous throttle control - "Aye! Engines ahead full, aye sir!")
