		<description>I'm not mad about the Domoorigato Mr. roboto sweepstakes really because if e don't sign him we get the 51 mil back. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Plus if we do get him the 51 mil doesn't go towards luxury tax which is and important thing to remember as well.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;One thing's thats pissing me off is everyone talking about how this is going to pay for itself when all the japs start buying Red Sox gear and shit....&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now that's all well and good but MLB splits up gear revenue (and tv revenue) evenly among the teams.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I'm happy about the idea of having three pitchers hitting their prime in the rotation at age 26 except then I wake up and realize one of them is Bombs-Away Beckett, the other one (Papelbon) pitched about one inning per game last year, and the third one hasn't thrown a single pitch in the majors.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Should be interesting.</description>

<p>Plus if we do get him the 51 mil doesn&#8217;t go towards luxury tax which is and important thing to remember as well.</p>
<p>One thing&#8217;s thats pissing me off is everyone talking about how this is going to pay for itself when all the japs start buying Red Sox gear and shit&#8230;.</p>
<p>Now that&#8217;s all well and good but MLB splits up gear revenue (and tv revenue) evenly among the teams.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m happy about the idea of having three pitchers hitting their prime in the rotation at age 26 except then I wake up and realize one of them is Bombs-Away Beckett, the other one (Papelbon) pitched about one inning per game last year, and the third one hasn&#8217;t thrown a single pitch in the majors.</p>
<p>Should be interesting.</p>

		<description>this whole matsuzaka thing is fishy.  and it blows my mind that (as i'm sure you all know because we all read the same articles) this bid was more than the opening day payrolls of 5 MLB teams! i don't care who the guy is that does not seem reasonable.&lt;br/&gt; now the sox hand is totally forced, they have to sign this guy to avert a PR nightmare.  yes they kept him away from the yankees, but there's 30-some other teams to worry about, not to mention our own, which is currently lacking 3 starting position players. &lt;br/&gt;and i'm not convinced that when he finally does make the transish that he will have anything like the success he's had in japan.  weigh in Ballgame!!!</description>

		<description>Pats Giants Superbowl?  Good god, that would be epic.  I pray we have the opportunity to beat Peyton in the AFC Championship and then Eli in the Super Bowl. If we pull it off I'll even jump in the stands and give their stupid brother Cooper a kick in the teeth to complete the Manning Dominance Trifecta.  Ever notice how it looks like Peyton's head looks like his dad stuck a football helmet on his soft little infant cranium and refused to take it off even when Peyton was crying?  Freak.  And no, I'm not bitter at all about the past two losses.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Side note: I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the Sox bidding for  Matsuzaka.  I have no idea if it is a good call or not, but I do love the prospect of drunk Japanese Sox fans replacing the "crazy Dominicans" that seemed to dissapear when Petey left.</description>

		<description>.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You have a riveting web log&lt;br/&gt;and undoubtedly must have&lt;br/&gt;atypical &#038; quiescent potential&lt;br/&gt;for your intended readership.&lt;br/&gt;May I suggest that you do&lt;br/&gt;everything in your power to&lt;br/&gt;honor your encyclopedic/omniscient&lt;br/&gt;Designer/Architect as well&lt;br/&gt;as your revering audience.&lt;br/&gt;As soon as we acknowledge&lt;br/&gt;this Supreme Designer/Architect,&lt;br/&gt;Who has erected the beauteous&lt;br/&gt;fabric of the universe, our minds&lt;br/&gt;must necessarily be ravished with&lt;br/&gt;wonder at His infinate goodness,&lt;br/&gt;wisdom and power.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Please remember to never&lt;br/&gt;restrict anyone's opportunities&lt;br/&gt;for ascertaining uninterrupted&lt;br/&gt;existence for their quintessence.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There is a time for everything,&lt;br/&gt;a season for every activity&lt;br/&gt;under heaven. A time to be&lt;br/&gt;born and a time to die. A&lt;br/&gt;time to plant and a time to&lt;br/&gt;harvest. A time to kill and&lt;br/&gt;a time to heal. A time to&lt;br/&gt;tear down and a time to&lt;br/&gt;rebuild. A time to cry and&lt;br/&gt;a time to laugh. A time to&lt;br/&gt;grieve and a time to dance.&lt;br/&gt;A time to scatter stones&lt;br/&gt;and a time to gather stones.&lt;br/&gt;A time to embrace and a&lt;br/&gt;time to turn away. A time to&lt;br/&gt;search and a time to lose.&lt;br/&gt;A time to keep and a time to&lt;br/&gt;throw away. A time to tear&lt;br/&gt;and a time to mend. A time&lt;br/&gt;to be quiet and a time to&lt;br/&gt;speak up. A time to love&lt;br/&gt;and a time to hate. A time&lt;br/&gt;for war and a time for peace.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here's what remarkable men &lt;br/&gt;have asseverated about the &lt;br/&gt;world's bestseller:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"I believe the Bible is the best gift &lt;br/&gt;God has ever given to man. All &lt;br/&gt;the good from the Savior of the &lt;br/&gt;world is communicated to us &lt;br/&gt;through this book."        &lt;br/&gt;-- President Abraham Lincoln&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"For we must consider that we shall &lt;br/&gt;be as a City upon a hill. The eyes of &lt;br/&gt;all people are upon us.  So that if we &lt;br/&gt;shall deal falsely with our God in this &lt;br/&gt;work we have undertaken, and so &lt;br/&gt;cause Him to withdraw his present &lt;br/&gt;help from us, we shall be made a &lt;br/&gt;story and a byword throughout the &lt;br/&gt;world." --John Winthrop, Governor &lt;br/&gt;of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1630&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"It is impossible to rightly govern the &lt;br/&gt;world without God and the Bible." &lt;br/&gt;- President George Washington&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"The Bible is no mere book, but a Living &lt;br/&gt;Creature, with a power that conquers &lt;br/&gt;all that oppose it." - Napoleon&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"That Book accounts for the supremacy &lt;br/&gt;of England." - Queen Victoria&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"If there is anything in my thought or &lt;br/&gt;style to commend, the credit is due my &lt;br/&gt;parents for instilling in me an early&lt;br/&gt;love of the Scriptures. If we abide by &lt;br/&gt;the principals taught in the Bible, our &lt;br/&gt;country will go on prospering and to &lt;br/&gt;prosper; but if we and our posterity &lt;br/&gt;neglect its instructions and authority,&lt;br/&gt;no man can tell how sudden a &lt;br/&gt;catastrophe may overwhelm us and&lt;br/&gt;bury all our glory in profound obscurity." &lt;br/&gt;- Daniel Webster (Founding Father)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"The Bible is worth all other books which &lt;br/&gt;have ever been printed." - Patrick Henry   &lt;br/&gt;(original member of the Continental Congress)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"The Bible is the anchor of our liberties." &lt;br/&gt;-  President U.S. Grant&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially &lt;br/&gt;a Bible-reading people. The principals of the &lt;br/&gt;Bible are the groundwork of human freedom."&lt;br/&gt;- Horace Greeley  (Editor)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"That Book is the rock on which our Republic &lt;br/&gt;rests." - President Andrew Jackson&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible &lt;br/&gt;has never failed to give me light and strength." &lt;br/&gt;- Gen. Robert E. Lee&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"Bible reading is an education in itself." &lt;br/&gt;- Lord Tennyson (Poet)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"So great is my veneration for the Bible that the &lt;br/&gt;earlier my children begin to read it the more &lt;br/&gt;confident will be my hope that they will prove &lt;br/&gt;useful citizens of their country and respectable &lt;br/&gt;members of society. I have formany years made &lt;br/&gt;it a practice to read through the Bible once &lt;br/&gt;every year." - President John Quincy Adams&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"The existence of the Bible, as a Book for the &lt;br/&gt;people, is the greatest benefit which the human &lt;br/&gt;race has ever experienced. Every attempt to &lt;br/&gt;belittle it is a crime against humanity." &lt;br/&gt;- Immanuel Kant (Philosopher)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"The New Testament is the very best Book that &lt;br/&gt;ever or ever will be known in the world." &lt;br/&gt;- Charles Dickens (Author)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"All human discoveries seem to be made only &lt;br/&gt;for the purpose of confirming more and more &lt;br/&gt;strongly the truths contained in the Sacred &lt;br/&gt;Scriptures." - Sir William Herschel (Astronomer)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"There are more sure marks of authenticity &lt;br/&gt;in the Bible than in any profane history." &lt;br/&gt;- Sir Isaac Newton (Scientist)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"Let mental culture go on advancing, &lt;br/&gt;let the natural sciences progress in &lt;br/&gt;even greater extent and depth, and &lt;br/&gt;the human mind widen itself as much &lt;br/&gt;as it desires; beyond the elevation&lt;br/&gt;and moral culture of Christianity, as &lt;br/&gt;it shines forth in the Gospels, it will &lt;br/&gt;not go." - Goethe (Author)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"I have known ninety-five of the world's &lt;br/&gt;great men in my time, and of these eight-&lt;br/&gt;seven were followers of the Bible. The &lt;br/&gt;Bible is stamped with a Specialty of Origin, &lt;br/&gt;and an immeasurable distance separates &lt;br/&gt;it from all competitors." &lt;br/&gt;- W.E. Gladstone (Prime Minister)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"Whatever merit there is in anything that &lt;br/&gt;I have written is simply due to the fact that &lt;br/&gt;when I was a chile my mother daily read &lt;br/&gt;me a part of the Bible and daily made me &lt;br/&gt;learn a part of it by heart." - John Ruskin &lt;br/&gt;(art critic and social commentator)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"The Bible has been the Magna Charta of the &lt;br/&gt;poor and oppressed. The human race is not &lt;br/&gt;in a position to dispense with it." - Thomas &lt;br/&gt;Huxley (Author &#038; Scientist)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"The whole hope of human progress is &lt;br/&gt;suspended on the ever growing influence &lt;br/&gt;of the Bible." - W.H. Seward (Secretary of State)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"America was born a Christian nation. America &lt;br/&gt;was born to exemplify that devotion to the &lt;br/&gt;elements of righteousness, which are derived &lt;br/&gt;from the revelations of Holy Scriptures. Part &lt;br/&gt;of the destiny of Americans lies in their daily &lt;br/&gt;perusal of this great book of revelations. &lt;br/&gt;That if they would see America free and &lt;br/&gt;pure they will make their own spirits free &lt;br/&gt;and pure by this baptism of the Holy Spirit."&lt;br/&gt;--President Woodrow Wilson&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For Christians, the life and death of Jesus &lt;br/&gt;are the ultimate expressions of love, and &lt;br/&gt;the supreme demonstrations of God's &lt;br/&gt;mercy, faithfulness, and redemption. &lt;br/&gt;Since Christ's miraculous Resurrection &lt;br/&gt;on Easter, more than 2,000 years ago, &lt;br/&gt;Christians have expressed joy and &lt;br/&gt;gratitude for this wondrous sacrifice &lt;br/&gt;and for God's promise of freedom for&lt;br/&gt;the oppressed, healing for the broken -&lt;br/&gt;hearted, and salvation.  --President &lt;br/&gt;George W. Bush&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"It cannot be emphasized too strongly &lt;br/&gt;or too often that this great nation was &lt;br/&gt;founded, not by religionists, but by &lt;br/&gt;Christians; not on religions, but on &lt;br/&gt;the gospel of Jesus Christ.  For this&lt;br/&gt;very  reason peoples of other faiths &lt;br/&gt;have been afforded asylum, prosperity, &lt;br/&gt;and freedom of worship here."&lt;br/&gt;--Patrick Henry  (original member &lt;br/&gt;of the Continental Congress)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;God designed humans to want to &lt;br/&gt;believe in something. That's the &lt;br/&gt;image of God that is in us. But as &lt;br/&gt;G. K. Chesterton famously put it, &lt;br/&gt;when we reject the God of the &lt;br/&gt;Bible, we don't believe in nothing; &lt;br/&gt;we believe in everything -- including &lt;br/&gt;Little Green Men.   - - Chuck Colson&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am trying here to prevent anyone from &lt;br/&gt;saying the really foolish thing that people &lt;br/&gt;often say about Jesus Christ: "I'm ready &lt;br/&gt;to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, &lt;br/&gt;but I don't accept His claim to be God."&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That is the one thing we must not say. &lt;br/&gt;A man who was merely a man and said &lt;br/&gt;the sort of things Jesus said would not be &lt;br/&gt;a great moral teacher. He would either be &lt;br/&gt;a lunatic --  on a level with a man who says &lt;br/&gt;he is a poached egg -- or else he would be &lt;br/&gt;the Devil of Hell.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You must make your choice. Either this Man &lt;br/&gt;was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman &lt;br/&gt;or something worse .... You can shut Him up &lt;br/&gt;for fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a &lt;br/&gt;demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him&lt;br/&gt;Lord and God. But let us not come up with any &lt;br/&gt;patronizing nonsense about His being a great &lt;br/&gt;human teacher. He has not left that option &lt;br/&gt;open to us. He did not intend to.    -- From &lt;br/&gt;Case for Christianity, by C.S. Lewis&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;"Let every student be plainly instructed and &lt;br/&gt;earnestly pressed to consider well the main &lt;br/&gt;end of his life and studies is to know God &lt;br/&gt;and Jesus Christ which is eternal life (John &lt;br/&gt;17:3)."     - - - The Laws and Statutes of &lt;br/&gt;Harvard College in 1643&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; "All scholars shall live religious, godly, &lt;br/&gt;and blameless lives according to the rules &lt;br/&gt;of God's Word, diligently reading the Holy &lt;br/&gt;Scriptures, the fountain of light and truth; &lt;br/&gt;and constantly attend upon all the duties &lt;br/&gt;of religion, both in public and secret."&lt;br/&gt; - - - Two central requirements in Yale &lt;br/&gt;College 1745 charter&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you stop believing what your professor &lt;br/&gt;told you had to be true and if you start &lt;br/&gt;thinking for yourself you may come to some&lt;br/&gt;conclusions you hadn't expected. You may &lt;br/&gt;find the Bible makes more sense than you &lt;br/&gt;thought or were told to think. Allow yourself&lt;br/&gt;to be ruined, ruined with regard to what you &lt;br/&gt;always thought could be true. Can you believe &lt;br/&gt;what you don't understand? You and I believe &lt;br/&gt;everyday what we don't understand unless it &lt;br/&gt;comes to the issue of salvation.               &lt;br/&gt; - - -  Dr. Woodrow Kroll&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There is simply no historic foundation for the &lt;br/&gt;position that the Framers intended to build the &lt;br/&gt;'wall of separation' that was constitutionalized &lt;br/&gt;in Everson. The 'wall of separation between &lt;br/&gt;church and state' is a metaphor based on bad &lt;br/&gt;history, a metaphor which has proved useless &lt;br/&gt;as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and &lt;br/&gt;explicitly abandoned.     - - - Chief Justice of &lt;br/&gt;the US Supreme Court, William Rehnquist&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In 1796 the US Supreme Court issued this &lt;br/&gt;ruling, "By our form of government, the &lt;br/&gt;Christian religion is the established religion,&lt;br/&gt;and all sects and denominations of Christians &lt;br/&gt;are placed on equal footing."  Some 57 years &lt;br/&gt;later, after Congress was petitioned to separate &lt;br/&gt;Christian principles from government, in 1853 &lt;br/&gt;the House Judiciary Committee issued their &lt;br/&gt;formal report, including these words: "In this &lt;br/&gt;age there is no substitute for Christianity. &lt;br/&gt;This was the religion of the founders of the &lt;br/&gt;republic, and they expected it to be the &lt;br/&gt;religion of their dependents. The great vital, &lt;br/&gt;conservative elements in our system is the &lt;br/&gt;belief of our people in the pure doctrines &lt;br/&gt;and divine truths of the gospel of Jesus &lt;br/&gt;Christ."  - - - Dr. Gerald Beavan&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; "It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, &lt;br/&gt;to own their dependence upon the overruling &lt;br/&gt;power of God and to recognize the sublime &lt;br/&gt;truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and &lt;br/&gt;proven by all history, that those nations only &lt;br/&gt;are blessed whose God is the Lord."&lt;br/&gt;-- President Abraham Lincoln&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Trust in yourself and you are doomed to &lt;br/&gt;disappointment; trust in money and you &lt;br/&gt;may have it taken from you; but trust in &lt;br/&gt;God, and you are never to be confounded &lt;br/&gt;in time or eternity.          - D.L.

<p>Please remember to never<br />restrict anyone&#8217;s opportunities<br />for ascertaining uninterrupted<br />existence for their quintessence.</p>
<p>There is a time for everything,<br />a season for every activity<br />under heaven. A time to be<br />born and a time to die. A<br />time to plant and a time to<br />harvest. A time to kill and<br />a time to heal. A time to<br />tear down and a time to<br />rebuild. A time to cry and<br />a time to laugh. A time to<br />grieve and a time to dance.<br />A time to scatter stones<br />and a time to gather stones.<br />A time to embrace and a<br />time to turn away. A time to<br />search and a time to lose.<br />A time to keep and a time to<br />throw away. A time to tear<br />and a time to mend. A time<br />to be quiet and a time to<br />speak up. A time to love<br />and a time to hate. A time<br />for war and a time for peace.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what remarkable men <br />have asseverated about the <br />world&#8217;s bestseller:</p>
<p>&#8220;I believe the Bible is the best gift <br />God has ever given to man. All <br />the good from the Savior of the <br />world is communicated to us <br />through this book.&#8221;        <br />&#8211; President Abraham Lincoln</p>
<p>&#8220;For we must consider that we shall <br />be as a City upon a hill. The eyes of <br />all people are upon us.  So that if we <br />shall deal falsely with our God in this <br />work we have undertaken, and so <br />cause Him to withdraw his present <br />help from us, we shall be made a <br />story and a byword throughout the <br />world.&#8221; &#8211;John Winthrop, Governor <br />of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1630</p>
<p>&#8220;It is impossible to rightly govern the <br />world without God and the Bible.&#8221; <br />- President George Washington</p>
<p>&#8220;The Bible is no mere book, but a Living <br />Creature, with a power that conquers <br />all that oppose it.&#8221; - Napoleon</p>
<p>&#8220;That Book accounts for the supremacy <br />of England.&#8221; - Queen Victoria</p>
<p>&#8220;If there is anything in my thought or <br />style to commend, the credit is due my <br />parents for instilling in me an early<br />love of the Scriptures. If we abide by <br />the principals taught in the Bible, our <br />country will go on prospering and to <br />prosper; but if we and our posterity <br />neglect its instructions and authority,<br />no man can tell how sudden a <br />catastrophe may overwhelm us and<br />bury all our glory in profound obscurity.&#8221; <br />- Daniel Webster (Founding Father)</p>
<p>&#8220;The Bible is worth all other books which <br />have ever been printed.&#8221; - Patrick Henry   <br />(original member of the Continental Congress)</p>
<p>&#8220;The Bible is the anchor of our liberties.&#8221; <br />-  President U.S. Grant</p>
<p>&#8220;It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially <br />a Bible-reading people. The principals of the <br />Bible are the groundwork of human freedom.&#8221;<br />- Horace Greeley  (Editor)</p>
<p>&#8220;That Book is the rock on which our Republic <br />rests.&#8221; - President Andrew Jackson</p>
<p>&#8220;In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible <br />has never failed to give me light and strength.&#8221; <br />- Gen. Robert E. Lee</p>
<p>&#8220;Bible reading is an education in itself.&#8221; <br />- Lord Tennyson (Poet)</p>
<p>&#8220;So great is my veneration for the Bible that the <br />earlier my children begin to read it the more <br />confident will be my hope that they will prove <br />useful citizens of their country and respectable <br />members of society. I have formany years made <br />it a practice to read through the Bible once <br />every year.&#8221; - President John Quincy Adams</p>
<p>&#8220;The existence of the Bible, as a Book for the <br />people, is the greatest benefit which the human <br />race has ever experienced. Every attempt to <br />belittle it is a crime against humanity.&#8221; <br />- Immanuel Kant (Philosopher)</p>
<p>&#8220;The New Testament is the very best Book that <br />ever or ever will be known in the world.&#8221; <br />- Charles Dickens (Author)</p>
<p>&#8220;All human discoveries seem to be made only <br />for the purpose of confirming more and more <br />strongly the truths contained in the Sacred <br />Scriptures.&#8221; - Sir William Herschel (Astronomer)</p>
<p>&#8220;There are more sure marks of authenticity <br />in the Bible than in any profane history.&#8221; <br />- Sir Isaac Newton (Scientist)</p>
<p>&#8220;Let mental culture go on advancing, <br />let the natural sciences progress in <br />even greater extent and depth, and <br />the human mind widen itself as much <br />as it desires; beyond the elevation<br />and moral culture of Christianity, as <br />it shines forth in the Gospels, it will <br />not go.&#8221; - Goethe (Author)</p>
<p>&#8220;I have known ninety-five of the world&#8217;s <br />great men in my time, and of these eight-<br />seven were followers of the Bible. The <br />Bible is stamped with a Specialty of Origin, <br />and an immeasurable distance separates <br />it from all competitors.&#8221; <br />- W.E. Gladstone (Prime Minister)</p>
<p>&#8220;Whatever merit there is in anything that <br />I have written is simply due to the fact that <br />when I was a chile my mother daily read <br />me a part of the Bible and daily made me <br />learn a part of it by heart.&#8221; - John Ruskin <br />(art critic and social commentator)</p>
<p>&#8220;The Bible has been the Magna Charta of the <br />poor and oppressed. The human race is not <br />in a position to dispense with it.&#8221; - Thomas <br />Huxley (Author &#038; Scientist)</p>
<p>&#8220;The whole hope of human progress is <br />suspended on the ever growing influence <br />of the Bible.&#8221; - W.H. Seward (Secretary of State)</p>
<p>&#8220;America was born a Christian nation. America <br />was born to exemplify that devotion to the <br />elements of righteousness, which are derived <br />from the revelations of Holy Scriptures. Part <br />of the destiny of Americans lies in their daily <br />perusal of this great book of revelations. <br />That if they would see America free and <br />pure they will make their own spirits free <br />and pure by this baptism of the Holy Spirit.&#8221;<br />&#8211;President Woodrow Wilson</p>
<p>For Christians, the life and death of Jesus <br />are the ultimate expressions of love, and <br />the supreme demonstrations of God&#8217;s <br />mercy, faithfulness, and redemption. <br />Since Christ&#8217;s miraculous Resurrection <br />on Easter, more than 2,000 years ago, <br />Christians have expressed joy and <br />gratitude for this wondrous sacrifice <br />and for God&#8217;s promise of freedom for<br />the oppressed, healing for the broken -<br />hearted, and salvation.  &#8211;President <br />George W. Bush</p>
<p>&#8220;It cannot be emphasized too strongly <br />or too often that this great nation was <br />founded, not by religionists, but by <br />Christians; not on religions, but on <br />the gospel of Jesus Christ.  For this<br />very  reason peoples of other faiths <br />have been afforded asylum, prosperity, <br />and freedom of worship here.&#8221;<br />&#8211;Patrick Henry  (original member <br />of the Continental Congress)</p>
<p>God designed humans to want to <br />believe in something. That&#8217;s the <br />image of God that is in us. But as <br />G. K. Chesterton famously put it, <br />when we reject the God of the <br />Bible, we don&#8217;t believe in nothing; <br />we believe in everything &#8212; including <br />Little Green Men.   - - Chuck Colson</p>
<p>I am trying here to prevent anyone from <br />saying the really foolish thing that people <br />often say about Jesus Christ: &#8220;I&#8217;m ready <br />to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, <br />but I don&#8217;t accept His claim to be God.&#8221;</p>
<p>That is the one thing we must not say. <br />A man who was merely a man and said <br />the sort of things Jesus said would not be <br />a great moral teacher. He would either be <br />a lunatic &#8212;  on a level with a man who says <br />he is a poached egg &#8212; or else he would be <br />the Devil of Hell.</p>
<p>You must make your choice. Either this Man <br />was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman <br />or something worse &#8230;. You can shut Him up <br />for fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a <br />demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him<br />Lord and God. But let us not come up with any <br />patronizing nonsense about His being a great <br />human teacher. He has not left that option <br />open to us. He did not intend to.    &#8212; From <br />Case for Christianity, by C.S. Lewis</p>
<p>&#8220;Let every student be plainly instructed and <br />earnestly pressed to consider well the main <br />end of his life and studies is to know God <br />and Jesus Christ which is eternal life (John <br />17:3).&#8221;     - - - The Laws and Statutes of <br />Harvard College in 1643</p>
<p> &#8220;All scholars shall live religious, godly, <br />and blameless lives according to the rules <br />of God&#8217;s Word, diligently reading the Holy <br />Scriptures, the fountain of light and truth; <br />and constantly attend upon all the duties <br />of religion, both in public and secret.&#8221;<br /> - - - Two central requirements in Yale <br />College 1745 charter</p>
<p>If you stop believing what your professor <br />told you had to be true and if you start <br />thinking for yourself you may come to some<br />conclusions you hadn&#8217;t expected. You may <br />find the Bible makes more sense than you <br />thought or were told to think. Allow yourself<br />to be ruined, ruined with regard to what you <br />always thought could be true. Can you believe <br />what you don&#8217;t understand? You and I believe <br />everyday what we don&#8217;t understand unless it <br />comes to the issue of salvation.               <br /> - - -  Dr. Woodrow Kroll</p>
<p>There is simply no historic foundation for the <br />position that the Framers intended to build the <br />&#8216;wall of separation&#8217; that was constitutionalized <br />in Everson. The &#8216;wall of separation between <br />church and state&#8217; is a metaphor based on bad <br />history, a metaphor which has proved useless <br />as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and <br />explicitly abandoned.     - - - Chief Justice of <br />the US Supreme Court, William Rehnquist</p>
<p>In 1796 the US Supreme Court issued this <br />ruling, &#8220;By our form of government, the <br />Christian religion is the established religion,<br />and all sects and denominations of Christians <br />are placed on equal footing.&#8221;  Some 57 years <br />later, after Congress was petitioned to separate <br />Christian principles from government, in 1853 <br />the House Judiciary Committee issued their <br />formal report, including these words: &#8220;In this <br />age there is no substitute for Christianity. <br />This was the religion of the founders of the <br />republic, and they expected it to be the <br />religion of their dependents. The great vital, <br />conservative elements in our system is the <br />belief of our people in the pure doctrines <br />and divine truths of the gospel of Jesus <br />Christ.&#8221;  - - - Dr. Gerald Beavan</p>
<p> &#8220;It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, <br />to own their dependence upon the overruling <br />power of God and to recognize the sublime <br />truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and <br />proven by all history, that those nations only <br />are blessed whose God is the Lord.&#8221;<br />&#8211; President Abraham Lincoln</p>
<p>Trust in yourself and you are doomed to <br />disappointment; trust in money and you <br />may have it taken from you; but trust in <br />God, and you are never to be confounded <br />in time or eternity.          - D.L. Moody</p>
<p>Faith and love are apt to be spasmodic <br />in the best of minds. Men and women live <br />on the brink of mysteries and harmonies<br />into which they never enter and with their <br />hand on the doorlatch they die outside.         <br />- - GK Chesterton</p>
