Rick, we have been crazy here and we had not yet been able to read the book. However, today I started it with 6 of our children. It took us an hour and a half to get through the first chapter! Not because I can't read, but because we stopped so many times to discuss things! I was so jazzed and can't wait to read more! I shared what had happened with other friends and... [more]

Take Back the Land. I hope God blesses the book and opens many hearts to it. Praying for our first conference in California in February. I think this is what I want to do with the rest of my life. I’m asking the Lord to let me live and work to age 100. I’ll retire when I expire.

He was the leader of a nation at 8 years old.  His administration was characterized by a fear of God that not only drove his personal life but transformed the nation under his rule.  The lessons to be learned from his life are so important that God chose to record them twice in Scripture.  His name was Josiah and you can read about him in II Kings 22 and II Chronicles 34.  Josiah was one...

They called him Joshua.  He was a mighty man, a man of warfare. He was a leader, a man who ignited courage in the hearts of those who followed him and whose exploits in battle were legendary.  It was said that he had once called upon the very sun to stand still in order to give him enough hours of daylight to finish off the five kings of the Amorites.  And the sun had obeyed. ...

Three great quotes from Thomas Jefferson.  God give us another leader with his wisdom SOON.

“I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
― Thomas Jefferson

Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows us that as a government grows, liberty decreases.”

“Patriotism is standing by the country, not standing by the president.” — Theodore Roosevelt Now is a time when standing by the country means NOT standing by the president. 

“The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.”
-Whitney Young

Does the federal government have the right to use tax money for charitable purposes? Davy Crockett was a Congressman from Tennessee from 1826 to 1834. He spoke during debate over a proposal to appropriate federal funds for the relief of the widow of a distinguished Navy officer. This is what he said about the power of Congress to use government money for charity: “Mr. Speaker – I have as much respect for the memory... [more]

Had to get this off my chest. A friend of mine on FB suggested that I “render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar and stop whining about the government stealing your money.” This was my reply (I feel better now…):

I don’t think George Washington would have called it whining. The Founding Fathers went to war over a tax that was a tiny fraction of the 40-some % the average American is paying now. The difference... [more]
