Comments
I have received more than a few emails over the years regarding the implanting of a chip that will track your every move.  Many have claimed this chip will be the mark of the beast (666) the antichrist will put into place during his reign of terror.  That could be so!  I have always maintained that it could be as primitive as a tattoo since the antichrist won't be asking anyone to take his mark it will be a direct order, and yes, your life will be on the line if disobeyed.  At any rate, you don't want to be here when he comes on the scene. 

Israel is inching closer to what I believe will be (future) E.U. membership by investing heavily in the Galileo satellite navigation system.  This is a major project by the European's and Israel wants to get in on the ground floor to position itself as a viable candidate for membership when that day comes.  Personally, I believe it will be sooner than later but it may come in the form of a "Neighborhood Agreement" which doesn't grant a country E.U. membership but does place them in a very favorable position...even to the point of military protection.

Outgoing E.U. President José Manuel Barroso has criticized America as "arrogant".  He was probably being kind when he said that. That is just the tip of the iceberg of how Europe and the rest of the world feel about the U.S.  Next to Israel, America is the most hated country in the world.  It's a shame that the world can't see that without the U.S. their freedoms would be severely challenged as they were in World War II.  History will repeat itself again but this time the brutal dictator will succeed...for a short time anyway.

A word about the impending defeat of the marriage amendment.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing gays nor am I a bigot.  The truth is, a homosexual is no worse than an adulterer or someone who practices fornication.  God didn't create you to be a fornicator nor an adulterer, but many today are living in that state.  God also didn't create you to have sex with the same sex.  If that were the case He would have made it possible for you to reproduce which is really God's sole purpose for sex.  But that's another long argument I don't wish to go into.  The fact of the matter is, without Christ and a turning from sin (that includes adultery, fornication, homosexuality, etc.), you cannot go to heaven.  It's sad that a person would allow sex to rule their life to the point of missing heaven and going to hell.

America has another battle it must fight, a battle for it's very existence.  The first battle was the battle for prayer and the Bible in schools.  We lost that battle and have paid ever since!  The second battle was the battle for the unborn.  Again, we lost that battle and tens of millions of the unborn have been murdered since then.  The third battle is being fought as we speak...the fight for God's ordained family and the institution of marriage. 

It looks like the marriage amendment will be defeated this time around but we must continue to fight or it will go the way of prayer, the Bible and the life of the unborn.  Apathy seems to be our biggest enemy.  Many Americans just don't seem to care one way or the other and that is a result of losing battle number one removing prayer and the Bible from our schools.
