“The View”: Rosie’s 5 Day a Week Propaganda Show
April 1st, 2007
She doesn’t appear to allow anyone else to speak a complete thought and is so puffed up with herself she actually seems to believe the nutty things she’s saying.
I don’t watch the show so if someone does and can tell me she does allow others to speak without interruption and preaching her doctrine of conspiracy theories please let me know.

How I Came to Salvation
April 1st, 2007
It was the summer of the year when I was 12 years old.
I had recently returned from two weeks at Bible Camp, enjoying Christian fellowship and learning about Jesus.
I didn’t accept Christ as my Savior at camp, though.
I came home and I can still remember it as if it happened yesterday. It was hot so the windows in my bedroom were open and for about two weeks the Holy Spirit dealt with me.
I have heard people pray “may someone’s bed be a bed of rocks and their pillow a pillow of stone until they accept You, Lord.”
I’m living proof of that prayer being true in my life.
I resisted for about two weeks because I didn’t want my friends to laugh at me. After all, it’s easier to be of the world than of the Lord.
Night after long night I tossed and turned until I thought I was going to lose my mind. Sleep was something that wasn’t coming easily for me.
I wasn’t thinking idle thoughts, either. I knew I was thinking of Salvation, and I know now it was the work of the Holy Spirit.
One night I finally got out of bed and got down on my knees at the side of my bed and asked Jesus to come into my heart and soul and be my Savior.
I confessed my sins and acknowledged He is the One and only Begotten Son of God and because He died and was resurrected and lives at the Right Hand of the Father I am able to have eternal life.
The tears came a few years later when the Spirit finally got it into my thick head that Jesus loves me and I should love Him too, not just because I don’t want to go to hell, but because He has that Perfect love that gives me peace that passes all understanding.
I was baptized in a river (full immersion) at the age of 16 by a pastor who, with his wonderful wife, had a big impact on my spiritual life.
If ever I had a problem in my life and I called Mrs. Ludwig just to talk, the first thing she would say is, “Are you alright? The Lord has put you on my heart to pray for you.” What sweet words!
The road has been rocky and has sometimes curved, but I’m still following the path and one day we will all rejoice in Heaven together with the One Who made it all possible.
Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe.
Thank you for this opportunity to share my testimony.
In the End, God’s Amazing Grace is What it’s All About
April 1st, 2007
The last verse of this beloved hymn is not sung in this video. Here are the words from my memory:
Bright, shining as the sun!
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun!”
These are, to me, the most wonderful of the words to this hymn because it tells us there is no conception of time as we know it in Heaven and when we’ve been there 10,000 years we still have eternity to sing praises to our God and our Savior. What a promise!
Palm Sunday
April 1st, 2007
Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. I am not going to talk about politics today, but instead am going to give you the verses from the New Testament that show our Lord’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where five days later He would be crucified for our sins.
From BibleGateway is the New International Version of Luke 19:28-44:
28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them,
30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it.’ ”
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it.
36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”[a]
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it
42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”
How sad that even today so many people do not recognize God came to us in the form of His Only Begotten Son Jesus.
