Who’s Next??

A  Hasidic Jewish man was removed from an Air Canada Jazz flight in Montreal last week.  Witness said that the Orthodox Jew was reading from a book and began to pray.  The airline said that since the man did not speak either English or France, they had to return to the gate to get a translator.

I can understand that the airline has to take precautions and not take chances.  However, we have to make sure that an individuals right to practice their religion is not infringed upon.   How do you define what is “acceptable” pray?  Is saying grace in public OK?  What about going back to work sporting ashes on your forehead after an Ash Wednesday Mass?  These may sound like silly examples but it is something that we need to careful with.

Don’t Ever Forget……..

“First They Came for the Jews”


By Pastor Niemoller

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not
a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was
not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Governor says No!

South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds issues a stay of execution last week for Elijah Page. This action postponed until at least July 2007, the first execution in the state of South Dakota for 59 years. The state law reinstating the death penalty in South Dakota calls for a different combination of lethal drugs than is the standard practice. Governor Rounds halted the execution in order to give the legislature time to rectify the problem. Read More

Although this stay was issued on a technicality; a constituional basis, it is still a positive sign for the pro-life movement. Governor Round has shown a willingness to come down on the side of life even if it is going to be a difficult political decision. He should be commended for that. Now let’s hope the he is able to show some leadership and work with the legislature to reach a morally correct resolution; the abolition of the death penalty and life in prison for Mr. Page.

…Brotherly Love

Sad news out of Philadelphia today.  A couple came home to find a young women being raped in their driveway.  They attempted to flee with the victim while being chased by the attacker.  The assailant followed the group and shot the three with a semi-automatic handgun.  The couple has died and the young women is expected to recover.

Please keep this couple in your prayers tonight as you thank God for all that you have been given.  We all hope that we will never be in the place that this couple was but if we are; pray that we have to courage to do the right thing.  It is often easier to turn the other way or pick up the cell phone to call 911.  This couple has paid the ultimate sacrifice on earth  by their courage and willingness to put themselves on the line for another. 

Join me…..

Our Father, Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name…..
