DIFFERENT DAY
FAITH without works is dead. James 2:26
CHANGE unidentified may hold danger. L. Swift 2008
HOPE without definition is meaningless. L. Swift 2008

Linden, having awakened hours before he would have chosen, was not very alert when he joined Bill, Chuck and Jack (Paul was absent) for our normal Thursday breakfast. After greetings, normal small talk and ordering our food, Chuck gave the blessing when the food arrived and, later, delivered the inspirational reading.
As we prepared to leave, our waitress informed us that a person we had hardly noticed had paid the tab for each of us. We felt almost like an unrecognized Jesus had been with us.
At lunch time,the "Golden Glows" (older folks) of Plainfield Christian Church held their monthly meeting - a pitch-in meal (I took cake) followed by a great program. As usual, Peggy Hileman opened the meeting and was followed by Justin White, one of our ministry staff, who made remarks and delivered the opening prayer. Then, we dug in to a great meal. Ron Vance, from a church in Cincinnati and his twin brother, Jon, from a church in Fortville, IN, sat at my table.
The program, "Bible Sticks," was presented by Ron. It was absolutely fascinating. He passed around to the 75 or so attendees each of the beautiful "Bible Sticks" and chains he had carved over the years. Each carving takes about one year to complete. These carvings represented the following Subjects:
Twelve Apostles
Six Days of Creation
Ten Commandments
Armor of God
Fruit of the Spirit
Twelve Sons of Israel
Old Testament Chain
New Testament Chain
Ten Plagues of Egypt
Seven Churches of Asia
Humorous Teachings of Jesus
Christmas Stick
Final Week of Christ
Judges of Israel
Ron also passed around some of the crosses he had carved and pictures he had fashioned using pennies. A very good program. I purchased one of his books and returned home feeling blest.
I recommend that you visit his website: biblesticks.org

LINDEN’S BOOKS
“MIND OVER FATTER” written in 1983 as a contrast to a Jane Fonda book. She had a better publisher so sales languished. It, written in calligraphy, was the first to present the concept of vicarious exercise. “An approach to weight control and physical conditioning which provides solace for the sedentary – includes recipes and statistical political commentary.”

HELP WANTED
It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.
Pennsylvania 1 Philadelphia area
Pennsylvania 14 Pittsburgh area
Rhode Island 2 Warwick area
Texas 9 Houston area – One Found?
Texas 16 El Paso
Texas 20 San Antonio
Texas 28 Laredo
Virginia 3 Newport News area
In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?
Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.
