Gotta love a Marine

God Bless him......

If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!! A United States Marine was taking some college courses between assignments. He had completed 20 missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "GOD, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform... I'll give you exactly 15 min." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am GOD, I'm still waiting." It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and  hit him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?" The Marine calmly replied, "GOD was too busy today protecting soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me." The classroom erupted in cheers!

Osama bin Laden and discussed and what I saw on the news

 Ashamed, this is what I felt when I returned from the ranch and sat down to see the news of the day.

I saw Americans yelling, screaming and chanting in a joyous celebration of a man’s death.  

Here is my view;

After 10 years this man was caught and killed. It is justice  and that is all. It needed to be done. To celebrate like I saw on the TV, discussed me. As a man, a Christian and an American, killing and taking of a man’s life is not an occasion to celebrate.

What I saw is the same type of people that burn the American flag, celebrate a fighter pilot plane being shot down and dragging the body through the streets. I think the crowd I saw in front of our white house would have done the same thing to bin ladens body if they had the chance. It disturbs me to see such callousness and hate from anyone.

There has always been joy over a military victory because it would mark a coming peace. We celebrated the end of the world wars, not the killing of the combatants.

With bin laden dead, we did not have a final victory over his organization, just the man. The terrorism  will continue.

I am not happy that the murderous bin laden (Master mind of al-Qaida attacks) was killed, I am relieved. I feel a sense of closure and a certain satisfaction that the man who was in charge of such mindless killings was stopped and Justice was done. Still, the war will go on. My problem is after viewing the news last night…I see very little difference between the two crowds that gather for the cameras.
