MEN'S PRAYER BREAKFAST

Before starting with today's subject matter, I would like to call your attention to our "title the photo" contest announced in the January 28 posting.

There was supposed to be a very heavy snow here last night and I'm happy to report that it has not yet arrived. I decided last night that I would walk the short distance to Church for our MPB this morning and that I would wear the new boots Julie purchased for me. I found my flashlight, wore heavy socks and, long before daylight, was in the company of probably 75 Christian men.
The absolutely best in the world biscuits and gravy is that which is prepared by the cooks for the Men's Prayer Breakfast at The Plainfield, IN Christian Church. I ate a bunch and brought some home for later in the day. We mentioned many different persons and issues in our prayers and ended with a study of Exodus. What a wonderful way to start the day!
You are not going to believe this but Linden is not the best editor in the world (Sharon Herbitter is). Even though he is not the best, he is thoroughly enjlying editing the women in ministry writings of a friend he first met in Austria last year. What impresses Linden most is that with little formal exposure to the English language, she writes quite well. God has blessed me with our friendship.

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.”

Author: Linden Swift. Available locally at Uncommon Corner in downtown Plainfield, IN or Secondhand Stories on Raceway road. Also online:

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.
