Good read:

SENATOR JAMES INHOFE CHAIRMAN, SENATE ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE

SENATE FLOOR SPEECH DELIVERED MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2006

I am going to speak today about the most media-hyped environmental issue of all time, global warming. I have spoken more about global warming than any other politician in Washington today. My speech will be a bit different from the previous seven floor speeches, as I focus not only on the science, but on the media’s coverage of climate change.

WSJ raises criticisms about Purpose-Driven model

«A Wall Street Journal story Sept. 5 focusing on California pastor Rick
Warren asserts that upheaval has occurred in various churches that have
embraced his “Purpose-Driven” emphasis.

“Congregations nationwide have split or expelled members who fought the
changes, roiling working-class Baptist congregations and affluent
nondenominational churches,” Wall Street Journal reporter Suzanne
Sataline wrote in the front-page story.

The 2,200-word story cites four congregations where upheaval occurred
from a move toward the principles espoused by Warren, pastor of
Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., and author of the best-seller
“Purpose-Driven Life.”

The story, however, does not relay any estimates of the extent of
problems nationwide stemming from Warren’s Purpose-Driven methods»

Sounds like something King David would do

Born this day, September 6, 1757, his father died before he was two-years-old and his mother died when he was twelve. He inherited their fortune.

At fourteen-years-old, he joined the French Military and, at age 16, became a captain and married Marie Adrienne Francoise de Noailles, whose family was related to the King.
At 19, against the King's wishes, he purchased a ship and persuaded several French officers to accompany him to fight in the American Revolution.

Washington appointed him a major general.

His name was Marquis de Lafayette.

He fought at Brandywine, endured the freezing winter at Valley Forge, saw action at Barren Hill and Rhode Island.

He returned to France and, along with Franklin's efforts, secured troops and supplies for the American cause which helped force Cornwallis to surrender at Yorktown.

Nearly fifty years later, Lafayette was guest at a ceremony at Bunker Hill, along with 200 Revolutionary Veterans.

Secretary of State Daniel Webster spoke:
"God...has allowed you to behold the reward of your patriotic toils; and He has allowed to us...in the name of the present generation...in the name of liberty to thank you!"
