Presidential Endorsement

SBC Ghost Recon endorses Superman for SBC President. Superman is the obvious choice because:

1. He can fly himself to any speaking engagement without having to worry about airline schedules.
2. Since his ability to fly does not involve the use of fossil fuels or damages the ozone, he will be appealing to the environmentalists in our Convention.
3. He has the physical strength to keep up the hectic pace.
4. He has a working relationship with world leaders.
5. He has a positive image.
6. He is known by Baptists all around the world.
7. He has worked in the media and has maintained a positive relationship with the media through his connection with Lois Lane.

April 28: erlc action alert

	Tell Senators Reid and Leahy to Uphold Commitment to Vote on Judicial Nominees
	Dear Friends: Our judicial system is feeling the strain of numerous judicial vacancies and a logjam of nominees awaiting votes in the Senate to fill court benches. Several courts have been declared judicial emergencies, such as the 15-seat Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has only five judges serving. Much of the problem rests on the shoulders of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, which must send judicial nominations to the full Senate for a vote. Pressured by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and others to kick the confirmation process into gear, Leader Reid agreed two weeks ago to vote on three circuit court nominees by Memorial Day. While his commitment is welcome news, it only begins to address the crisis of vacancies on the courts. The American people and our overburdened courts deserve more than a bare minimum pledge. All this pledge does is put the Senate on track with recent historical averages of 15 to 17 circuit court nominees confirmed during the final two years of a presidency when an opposing party has controlled the Senate. Given the many vacancies in the federal judicial system, we need more than an average response by the Senate. President Bush has carried out his constitutional duty to nominate well-qualified judges who are committed to the original intent of the Constitution. Now Sens. Reid and Leahy must fulfill their part to allow votes to confirm or reject them. If you agree, please tell Sens. Reid and Leahy to move swiftly on—and go beyond—the commitment to give three circuit court nominees fair, up-or-down votes. You can call them at the numbers below. Or, if you live in Nevada or Vermont, click here to email them a suggested letter or one entirely your own. Sen. Harry Reid, Majority Leader (202) 224-5556 Sen. Patrick Leahy, Chairman, Judiciary Committee (202) 224-4242 Thank you for your concern. Your action could make all the difference.

A Bit of Humor

Dwight Nelson recently told a true story about the pastor
of  his church.  He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his

backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor

coaxed, offered  warm milk, etc.

The kitty would not come down.

The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the  pastor
decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it

until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the

kitten.

That’s what he did, all the while checking his  progress
in the car. He then figured if he went just a little  bit further,

the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to  reach the kitten.

But as he moved the car a little further  forward, the rope broke.

The tree went ‘bo ing!’ and the  kitten instantly sailed through

the air - out of  sight.

The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over  the neighborhood

asking people if they’d seen a little kitten.  No.  Nobody had
seen a stray kitten.

So he  prayed, ‘Lord, I just commit this kitten to your
keeping,’ and  went on about his business.

A few days later he was at the  grocery store, and met one
of his church members. He happened  to look into her shopping

cart and was  amazed to see cat food.

This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so  he asked

her, ‘Why  are you buying cat food when you hate cats  so much?’
She replied, ‘You  won’t believe this,’ and then told  him how her
little girl had been  begging her for a cat, but  she kept refusing.

Then a few days before, the child had  begged again, so the
Mom finally told her little girl, ‘Well,  if God gives you a cat,
I’ll let you keep it.’ She told the  pastor, ‘I watched my child go out

in the yard, get on her  knees, and ask God for a cat. And really,

Pastor, you  won’t  believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A

kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws

outspread, and  landed right in front of her.’

Please pray for this situation.

Hillary, get your gun!

CNN Political Ticker reports that early exit polls indicates that she has the support of gun owners and church goers. All I have to say is that there is no business like the political business except maybe show business:
