Earth Day 2010 – Nature’s Greatest Gift
Congrats to Brian Burch and the folks at CatholicVote.org for putting together an awesome Pro-Life marketing movement, using Earth Day as the catalyst… and for encouraging Americans to think about nature’s greatest gift. These posters have been plastered on buses, subways and trains in numerous large cities around the country, including Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles.
Check out the video they put together getting folk’s thoughts on the street. Click HERE if you can’t view the video.
Tomorrow, Thursday, April 22, 2010, is Earth Day. I challenge you to take a good look at how you view Earth, nature, creation. Do you value it as the incredible gift that God has given to you or do you take advantage of it? Squander it? Disrespect it? Heck, don’t only do that on Earth Day, do that every day.
TrueMan up!
The Fight – Clear and Present Danger
I write about “The Fight” a good bit on this site. I urge men everywhere to realize that we are in a battle for souls. Most of the time, the battle is spiritual – fighting demons, spiritual unrest and concupiscence. Sometimes, however, the battle is physical. In this video, the persecution of Christians shows us that the battle is a clear and present danger. The persecution of Christians in America is far from as brutal as these persecutions of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria, but still real. In no way am I attempting to compare the two forms of persecution – clearly, the are different. However, there’s nothing to say that they can’t become as real in America as they are in other parts of the world.

Men, we MUST first learn what it means to be a man, then jump into action! We are called to action! Without TrueMen who step up, lead and fight, mankind will continue to suffer. We cannot sit around and wait for this sort of hatred to permeate our culture any more. Step up and do something! How, you ask? How can I possibly help these poor, defenseless people in Africa? Start at home, so that it doesn’t happen here. I’ve been known to joke on occasion about a “Muslim Invasion”, that I want to be armed and ready to respond to this sort of thing. It’s not funny any more. How ready are you if this were to happy in the US?
A note about the traffic on my site: in February 2010, my site was visited by people living in 36 various foreign countries. 6 of those 36 countries were African countries. This is more real for them than me.
Veteran’s Day 2009 – Thank a Vet Today
Veteran’s Day 2009 – Thank a vet today. It’s the least we can all do. I plan on making some phone calls and continuing to thank each and every soldier that I see in public. I have the privilege of working with soldiers, and knowing soldiers, and being close to soldiers. What you do for us is a great example of sacrifice and service. Our words of gratitude will never be enough.
Please check out these two videos. The first, from Applebee’s is very impressive. I encourage everyone to let a veteran or active duty member know about this deal. It’s the little things that go so far. I wish I could stand in front of our local restaurant and shake all the veteran’s hands. Maybe I’ll have to make a quick stop by there today. The second video is a compilation of some pictures of our awesome heroes. (Neither video are mine.)
