2A Wednesday, July 29, 2015 Kingfisher (Okla.) Times & Free Press

Well, my little 15-year-old kitty breathed his last breath Thursday morning. I’m tell-ing you that people who do not love God’s creatures as their own do not know what they are missing.

He was older than Beau, our first grandchild, so he was definitely knowledge-able about our family and loved every one of us.

He was Don’s buddy, my buddy and our other two cats’ buddy. Talk about institution, he was simply a fixture in our house. And everyone loved Leo and he loved everyone. He abso-lutely loved our grandkids, Beau, Gracie, Cole and later J.B. The greatest honor for all of them was to have Leo choose to sit on their lap.

There is no reason to go into specifics, but he had an obstruction in his little colon and after two consults and treatments, his little heart couldn’t take it any longer and

he passed away at a cat clinic Thursday. I did all that I could do, but it just wasn’t enough.

We have had cats forever and loved them all, some lived to be 19-years-old, Kap-py and Karo, and some just a few years. All were great kitties. Our oldest, Lexie, is

Leo

Leo17-years-old, the matriarch, and is doing okay, I think.

She was actually afraid of Leo when he appeared, funny. She accepted him and when Leo appeared, it was Don’s 60th birthday and as Don’s middle name is Leo, I decided that was a fitting name for that sweet boy.

He was a little guy, white with black spots, a blue eye and a green eye and the personality of a giant. Found out this week that he had an enlarged heart, so maybe that always accounted for the amount of love he gave and generated because he was pure love. He followed me everywhere. If I went to visit the neighbors, he would be on their front porch and I would carry him back to our house afraid he would get run over. He followed me if I was going for a walk and here he would be coming behind me, so I would go back and he would obviously follow

me and I would go out the back door, what a sweetie loving kitty.

He would sit on one of the chairs on the front porch and without fail would greet me when I came back from where ever, run out and flop down in front of me to be petted, walk a few steps and flop down again all the way to the door. Going to miss that for sure.

So now, I have Lexie who is 17, and Lucky, a little res-cue cat, a little orange tabby that I am thinking is 7 or so, not sure, but he loved Leo who was much smaller and loved to lay beside him all the time until Leo would become somewhat irritated, and would move away, but never fussed at him ever.

He was my buddy, my support and my counsel-or many times, even if he couldn’t answer me. He sup-ported me by staying on my lap and loving me as I loved

him, always calm and sedate and never one problem ever. I loved him so much.

What a precious creature of God’s creation and I’m going to miss him forever. Sweet Leo, you will be re-membered by so many. You never knew a stranger, baby boy. So good night sweet boy. We’ll maybe meet again on that rainbow bridge as some call it. You were just the best and gave your best to all that you met. I’ll love and miss you always sweetie.

Kingfisher County Health Department officials say that making sure all children are vaccinated before they start kindergarten is always im-portant.

“Now is the time for par-ents to check vaccine records and schedule appointments to vaccinate babies and tod-dlers and children entering kindergarten, the seventh grade, or college,” said King-fisher County Health De-partment Administrator Jay Smith. “We are advising parents to schedule appoint-ments with their health care provider now to skip the long lines that often form in clinics in August.”

Children attending child care must be up-to-date for their age with childhood vaccines. A schedule show-ing the required vaccines is available on the Oklahoma State Department of Health website at http://imm.health.ok.gov by clicking on “Vaccines for Childcare.”

Children entering kinder-garten are due for boosters or second doses of four vaccines:

•MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine)

•Polio

•DTaP (diphtheria, teta-nus and pertussis vaccines)

•Chickenpox (varicel-la) – (The second dose of chickenpox vaccine is recom-mended, but not required by Oklahoma law.)

Children who recently moved to Oklahoma may also need hepatitis A vacci-nation. Hepatitis A vaccine, which is required for stu-dents in all grades in Okla-homa, is not required in some other states. Students need at least one dose of hepatitis A vaccine to start school. A second dose is due six to 18 months later.

“All of the vaccines re-quired for school are avail-able for children and teens, 18 years of age and younger, at the Kingfisher County Health Department from 8-11:30 a.m. and 1-4:30 p.m. Our clerks and nurses are always happy to answer any questions parents have about their children’s immuniza-tion needs,” said Smith.

For more information about immunizations for children, call the Kingfisher County Health Department at 405-375-3008 or contact your health care provider.

Now is the time to vaccinate for back to school and child care

Once, before going into battle, Alexander the Great began making elaborate preparations for a large mili-tary operation. He was so un-certain about the outcome of the battle that he gave away his personal possessions. One of his men went to him in protest and said, “Sir, you are giving away everything you have.”

“Everything,” said Alex-ander, “but hope.”

Overwhelmed with sick-ness and facing death, David cried out, “My hope is in You. Save me from all my transgressions.” He realized that in spite of his vast wealth and power he was bankrupt and powerless over his life. He could do nothing to save himself.

But when David came to the end of all that he had, he found himself at the begin-ning of what God had – the power to deliver him. “Save me,” he cried, “from all my transgressions.” His entire life must have passed before his eyes, frightened him into a sense of reality and left him in a state of despair and hopelessness.

This verse contains one of life’s most important mes-sages. David, and each one of us, need to be “saved from our transgressions.” Most of us recognize that fact. Know-ing and facing that fact, how-ever, is not enough. We must also accept the fact that life is beyond our control – not only our health but the number of days God will grant us. Like David we must be prepared to face death and judgment.

God used sickness, fear and aging to get David’s attention to face death. His seeking knows no limits.

John Bloss, retired Kingfisher pastor, sent along the fol-lowing item, which is a must read for any veteran or one’s loved ones.

It regards an act of human kindness by a German pilot and re-emphasizes the point that combatants in World War II (and others, as well) were often above the temporal spirit of their leaders.

This has been around before. A documentary of this was on TV a few years back and these two men were videoed playing themselves. Plus a lot of footage shot based on this story especially after them getting together late in life.

The story follows:Luftwaffe Major Franz Stigler pressed his hand over the

rosary he kept in his flight jacket. He eased his index finger off the trigger. He couldn’t shoot. It would be murder.

Stigler wasn’t just motivated by vengeance that day. He also lived by a code. He could trace his family’s ancestry to knights in 16th century Europe. He had once studied to be a priest. A German pilot who spared the enemy, though, risked death in Nazi Germany. If someone reported him, he would be executed.

Yet, Stigler could also hear the voice of his commanding officer, who once told him: “You follow the rules of war for you – not your enemy. You fight by rules to keep your humanity.”

Alone with the crippled bomber, Stigler changed his mission. He nodded at the American Pilot and began flying in formation so German anti-aircraft gunners on the ground wouldn’t shoot down the slow-moving bomber. (The Luft-waffe had B-17’s of its own, shot down and rebuilt for secret missions and training.) Stigler escorted the bomber over the North Sea and took one last look at the American Pilot. Then he saluted him, peeled his fighter away and returned to Germany.

“Good luck,” Stigler said to himself. “You’re in God’s hands now...” Franz Stigler didn’t think the big B-17 could make it back to England and wondered for years what happened to the American pilot and crew he encountered in combat.

As he watched the German fighter peel away that De-cember day, 2nd Lt. Charles Brown wasn’t thinking of the philosophical connection between enemies. He was thinking of survival. He flew his crippled plane, filled with wounded, back to his base in England and landed with one of four en-gines knocked out, one failing and barely any fuel left. After his bomber came to a stop, he leaned back in his chair and put a hand over a pocket Bible he kept in his flight jacket. Then he sat in silence.

Brown flew more missions before the war ended. Life moved on. He got married, had two daughters, supervised foreign aid for the U.S. State Department during the Vietnam War and eventually retired to Florida.

Late in life, though, the encounter with the German pilot began to gnaw at him. He started having nightmares, but in his dream there would be no act of mercy. He would awaken just before his bomber crashed.

Brown took on a new mission. He had to find that German pilot. Who was he? Why did he save my life? He scoured military archives in the U.S. and England.He attended a pilots’ reunion and shared his story. He finally placed an ad in a German newsletter for former Luftwaffe pilots, retelling the story and asking if anyone knew the pilot.

On January 18, 1990, Brown received a letter. He opened it and read: “Dear Charles, All these years I wondered what happened to that B-17, did she make it home? Did her crew survive their wounds? To hear of your survival has filled me with indescribable joy...”

It was Stigler.He had had left Germany after the war and moved to Van-

couver, British Columbia, in 1953. He became a prosperous businessman. Now retired, Stigler told Brown that he would be in Florida come summer and “it sure would be nice to talk about our encounter.” Brown was so excited, though, that he couldn’t wait to see Stigler. He called directory assistance for Vancouver and asked whether there was a number for a Franz Stigler. He dialed the number, and Stigler picked up.

“My God, it’s you!” Brown shouted as tears ran down his cheeks.

Brown had to do more. He wrote a letter to Stigler in which he said: “To say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU on behalf of my surviving crew members and their families appears totally inadequate.”

The two pilots would meet again, but this time in person, in the lobby of a Florida hotel. One of Brown’s friends was there to record the summer reunion. Both men looked like retired businessmen: They were plump, sporting neat ties and formal shirts. They fell into each other’ arms and wept and laughed. They talked about their encounter in a light, jovial tone.

The mood then changed. Someone asked Stigler what he thought about Brown. Stigler sighed and his square jaw tight-ened. He began to fight back tears before he said in heavily accented English: “I love you, Charlie.”

Stigler had lost his brother, his friends and his country. He was virtually exiled by his countrymen after the war. There were 28,000 Pilots who fought for the German Air Force. Only 1,200 survived.

The war cost him everything. Charlie Brown was the only good thing that came out of World War II for Franz. It was the one thing he could be proud of. The meeting helped Brown as well, says his oldest daughter, Dawn Warner.

It is stuff like this that has Donald Trump in first place, kicking everybody else’s back side. And it is stuff like this that is going to see Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% start rising in the polls.

I realize Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% is a competitor to the other candidates, but if they cannot share the Repub-lican voters’ outrage over what happened in the Senate yesterday, they might need to let Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% run for office.

The Senate Republicans, joined with Democrats, and set the stage for reauthori-zation of the Export-Import Bank, a bank that Governor Rick Perry of Texas has been vocally critical of with Cruz,

and the Senate Republicans refused to put up a vote for defunding Planned Parent-hood or Obamacare.

The Republicans have all talked a great game of late on the campaign trail, but when Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) 100% tried to get it defunded in the Senate, Mitch McConnell refused not only to allow the vote, but wouldn’t even al-low a roll call vote on it.

Republican Senators re-fused to fight evil because they do not like Cruz and Lee.

Where are the Republican leaders? Of the 2,347 candi-dates running for President, surely there are more than just Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% will-ing to speak forcefully and vocally against the Republi-cans in Washington.

It is outrageous. The ex-cuses of the Senate Republi-cans hold no water.

Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Carly Fiorina, Bobby Jindal, and the rest should be publicly calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 59% to allow the votes.

And Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 91%, who tweeted he was headed to South Caroli-na today, should be headed to the Senate instead to help his friend Mike Lee defund Planned Parenthood.

Donald Trump is leading the Republicans in polling because he was the only guy showing leadership against Washington. Ted Cruz showed that leadership this weekend and Republi-cans should be thanking him for exposing the cronies and corruption.

Where’s the outrage?

By Walter E. WilliamsThere have been several

notable cases of racial fakery. Years ago, then-law profes-sor Elizabeth “Fauxcahon-tas” Warren falsely claimed that her great-grandfather was Cherokee Indian. A diversity-starved Harvard University jumped at the opportunity to hire her. She was so good at the racial fakery that a 1997 Fordham Law Review article lauded now-Sen. Warren as Harvard Law School’s “first woman of color.”

Racial fakery for private gain has been going on for decades. In 1990, there was a highly publicized case of out-right racial lying. Two white men, twins Philip and Paul Malone, took the Boston Fire Department test. They failed. It turned out that the Boston Fire Department was under a consent decree mandat-ing racial preferences, back then euphemistically called affirmative action but today called diversity. The Malone brothers retook the test, this time identifying them-selves as black. Again their scores weren’t high enough to be hired as whites, but they qualified under the lower standards for blacks and were hired. They worked for 10 years, until their racial fak-ery was discovered during a promotion proceeding. They were fired.

T h e n t h e re ’ s Vi j a y Chokal-Ingam, brother of “The Mindy Project” actress Mindy Kaling. He pretended to be black to successfully gain admission to the Saint Louis University School of Medicine but later dropped out.

Recently, there was the case of Rachel A. Dolezal, who told everyone that she was a member of my race, even though both of her parents are white. She prof-ited immensely from racial fakery. She became president

of the Spokane, Washing-ton, office of the NAACP and became an instructor of Africana studies at East-ern Washington University. To top that off, she gained membership on Spokane’s police oversight commission, where she examined police policies on race.

We must combat racial fakery. We can learn from South Africa. During its apartheid era, it, too, had a racial spoils system. The gov-ernment combated racial fak-ery by enacting the Popula-tion Registration Act of 1950, which racially classified the country’s entire population. The act laid down race defini-tions so as to thwart people, mostly “Coloureds,” from taking privileges set aside for whites. For example, it defined a white person as one who “is in appearance obviously white — and not generally accepted as Co-loured — or who is generally accepted as White — and is not obviously Non-White.”

Despite South Africa’s careful attempts to define race, there was racial manip-ulation. A person charged with doing something prohibited for a native or Coloured might claim he had some white blood. The Population Registration Act

ensured justice whereby a person aggrieved by a racial determination could appeal to a tribunal, known as the Race Classification Appeal Board. The act also provided that a third party could bring a complaint as to a person’s racial classification. It pro-vided for heavy penalties for frivolous objections to anoth-er’s racial classification.

The Population Registra-tion Act fortified both the Im-morality Act of 1927, which prohibited sexual relations between Europeans and Af-ricans, and the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act of 1949,

which banned marriage between Europeans and

Africans. I wouldn’t support the adoption of either one of those acts. But I do think that we need to adopt some of the features of South Africa’s Population Registration Act. Why?

If Americans are going to have laws that mandate special privileges in college admission and employment, we must prevent racial fak-ery. We cannot permit a white or Asian person to take an opportunity that by law belongs to a black person. There should be DNA crite-ria to accurately determine one’s race. Years ago in our country, “one drop” of Negro blood made it impossible for one to be white. With today’s technological advances, we could be more precise.

Racial classification is not without other benefits. Suppose one wants to marry and at the same time keep his bloodline pure. Say he’s a black man. Shouldn’t he be protected from a racial im-poster like Rachel Dolezal?

Oklahoma forfeiture laws misused

By Jason Snead(ED. NOTE: Jason Snead is

a policy analyst in The Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies.

A recent report out of Oklahoma makes clear the startling consequences of a lack of transparency and oversight within law en-forcement.

Over a seven-year period, Oklahoma law enforcement authorities misused seized property, misspent seized funds and misplaced or lost evidence—including confis-cated firearms.

Last week, a review of Oklahoma audits from 2007 to 2014 brought to light dis-turbing incidents and major discrepancies in the state’s civil forfeiture operations. Civil forfeiture is a law enforcement tool that en-ables the seizure of property, which police and prosecutors suspect has been involved in, or is the result of, criminal activity.

It was ramped up three decades ago to combat a wave of drug-related crime, and its main purpose—to target the assets of drug kingpins and their money launderers—was clear and limited.

Now, however, forfei-ture is used with alarming frequency against ordinary Americans who risk losing their homes and life savings despite never even being charged with a crime.

Here are several starling examples of forfeiture abuse in Oklahoma:

In Beaver County, an as-sistant district attorney de-cided that a home that had been forfeited by his office would make the perfect res-idence. The prosecutor lived in the house rent-free for five years, even billing the DA’s office for the cost of mainte-nance and utilities, despite a court order that the home be sold at auction.

An assistant district attor-ney used $5,000 in forfeiture funds to make student loan payments. The DA’s office for Washington and Nowata counties proffered the ab-surd argument that the ex-pense was justified because that particular prosecutor handled mostly drug cases.

In at least a dozen cases, forfeited money, vehicles and firearms had not been properly inventoried, and were missing.

In Okmulgee and McIn-tosh counties, seized money was actually spent by the dis-trict attorney’s office before it was forfeited. In another district, money was listed as properly forfeited even though no forfeiture cases had ever been filed seeking forfeiture of those funds.

In most states and at the federal level, innocent peo-ple who want to fight for their property face a tortuous and costly legal process that forc-es them to prove their own innocence.

And if they lose, the agen-(See Foreiture, Page 5)

Kingfisher (Okla.) Times & Free Press Wednesday, July 29, 2015 5A

cies that conducted the ini-tial seizures usually keep the bulk of the proceeds from the forfeited property. That money can then end up being spent on virtually anything, from office parties to armored personnel car-riers, with alarmingly little accountability or oversight.

Rules governing the use of forfeiture funds at the federal level and in most states ostensibly limit their use to “law enforcement purposes,” but a series of recent revelations calls into question just how limiting those rules are.

In Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Paul How-ard spent $6,000 on a person-al home security system and used still more funds to pay for galas and NBA tickets.

In Texas, several district attorneys used forfeiture funds to pay for trips to Hawaii and visits to casinos.

In Oklahoma, forfeiture funds are retained by law enforcement agencies and are supposed to be spent for the enforcement of drug laws and for drug abuse and prevention programs.

While some of these in-cidents may be chalked up to sloppy and inconsistent record keeping, others are clearly deliberate misuses of forfeited funds and prop-erty.

Why does it take so long for these stories to come to light? Forfeiture opera-tions nationwide are largely opaque.

With few reporting re-quirements and little over-sight, major abuses can be swept under the rug, avoiding public scrutiny for years. Some, no doubt, never become public.

The result: Both the pub-lic interest in rooting out corruption and the govern-ment’s interest in avoiding even the appearance of corruption are undermined.

Any system which allows for the seizure of private property under the color of the law, and then allows for that property to be retained by the agency that seized it, deserves close and con-tinuous scrutiny by public officials.

Agencies should be re-quired to thoroughly docu-ment their forfeiture activ-ities, including what they seize, whether the property was returned or forfeit-ed and how any resultant forfeiture funds have been spent. These records should be readily and publicly available and should be rou-tinely reviewed and regular-ly audited.

In addition to greater transparency, The Heritage Foundation has outlined a series of reforms to forfeiture laws in Arresting Your Prop-erty, a new report on asset forfeiture.

In Oklahoma, State Sen. Kyle Loveless, R-Oklahoma City, has proposed reform legislation modeled on the successful reform packaged enacted earlier this year in New Mexico.

Loveless’s bill would re-quire a criminal conviction before civil forfeiture cases can proceed and would redi-rect all forfeiture proceeds to the state treasury.

Oklahoma is now joining more than 20 other states ac-tively considering changes to their asset forfeiture laws.

They met as enemies but Franz Stigler and Charles Brown, ended up as fishing buddies.

Brown and Stigler became pals. They would take fishing trips together. They would fly cross-country to each other’s homes and take road trips together to share their story at schools and veterans’ reunions. Their wives, Jackie Brown and Hiya Stigler, be-came friends.

Brown’s daughter says her father would worry about Stigler’s health and constantly check in on him.

“It wasn’t just for show,” she says. “They really did feel for each other. They talked about once a week.” As his friendship with Stigler deep-ened, something else hap-pened to her father, Warner says “The nightmares went away.”

Brown had written a letter of thanks to Stigler, but one day, he showed the extent of his gratitude. He organized a reunion of his surviving crew members, along with their extended families. He invit-ed Stigler as a guest of honor.

During the reunion, a video was played showing all the faces of the people that now lived – children, grand-children, relatives – because of Stigler’s act of chivalry. Stigler watched the film from his seat of honor.

“Everybody was crying, not just him,” Warner says.

Stigler and Brown died within months of each oth-er in 2008. Stigler was 92, and Brown was 87. They had started off as enemies, became friends, and then something more.

After he died, Warner was searching through Brown’s library when she came across a book on German fighter jets. Stigler had given the book to Brown. Both were country boys who loved to read about planes.

Warner opened the book and saw an inscription Sti-gler had written to Brown:

In 1940, I lost my only brother as a night fighter. On the 20th of December, four days before Christmas, I had the chance to save a B-17 from her destruction, a plane so badly damaged, it was a wonder that she was still flying.

The pilot, Charlie Brown, is for me as precious as my brother was.

Thanks Charlie.Your Brother, Franz

By Sen. James LankfordOur rivers, lakes, and

ponds are rising due to the recent rainfall that has swept across our state after years of drought. Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) overreach-ing jurisdiction is rising at an even faster rate.

With the proposed “Wa-ters of the United States” regulation by the EPA, the puddles and potholes that have surfaced because of the recent weather could be subject to regulation under the EPA’s Clean Water Act, on private or public land.

This “Waters of the Unit-ed States” rule redefines which waterways are reg-ulated by the Clean Water Act and greatly expands the EPA’s authority. This un-precedented attempt to gain even more power will un-necessarily burden farmers, businesses, private property owners, and state and local governments. Virtually, ev-ery river, stream, and creek in the nation could suddenly be under the regulation of the Clean Water Act.

This historic expansion of EPA’s power was not enacted by new legislation; it was a result of the EPA re-interpreting a 40-year-old law in a way no other Ad-ministration ever had in the past. Consequently, I worked to cut the funding for the EPA’s implementation of the

Waters of the U.S. rule.In another instance in-

volving the EPA late this past June, the Supreme Court ruled against the EPA and the standards it tried to estab-lish. For power companies, the EPA said that companies must regulate the amount of mercury released into the air. These power companies began to adjust to these new stringent standards, but then discovered the costs asso-ciated with these changes were in the billions of dollars. In the Michigan v. EPA Su-preme Court case, the Court ruled that the EPA must take into account the costs associ-ated with the changes before issuing regulations. It would be illogical to spend billions of dollars on these regula-tions while there would only be a few dollars in health or environmental benefits, but the EPA does not consider the cost of regulation.

Thankfully, the Supreme Court stopped the EPA in this instance of overreach, but it is an example of how gov-ernment bureaucracy will stop at nothing to expand its own authority. While it is important to have clean drinking water and fresh air for the people of Oklahoma, the regulations and authori-ty to ensure this must not be a hardship for the people it is trying to help. This kind of overreach is exactly the kind of red tape that is bur-

densome to the people of Oklahoma.

I recently launched a bi-partisan nationwide project called the #CutRedTape Ini-tiative. This is a new way for American families and busi-nesses to communicate how federal regulations impact them, such as regulations from the EPA.

We have created a central hub for anyone to submit these stories online – go to my website (www.lankford.senate.gov) and click on #CutRedTape. We aim to use the stories submitted through the website to help make sure federal regula-tions work better for families and small businesses by reducing waste, stopping backlogs, and cutting red tape.

I have made regulatory reform a top priority during my time in the Senate. I strongly encourage you to submit your stories. It is important you share your stories with us to ensure the improvement of our federal government’s regulatory process. These stories will serve as guidance to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Regulato-ry Affairs and Federal Man-agement in order to begin developing commonsense ideas to make our federal government more accessible and more efficient.

By Sen. Ted Cruz(The Daily Signal)

Ted Cruz was elected U.S. senator from Texas in 2012.

The American people elected a Republican majori-ty to the U.S. Senate believing that a Republican majority would be somehow different from a Democratic majority. Unfortunately, the way the current Senate operates, there is one party, the Wash-ington party.

Senate leadership consists of the Mitch McConnell-Har-ry Reid leadership team. They operate as a team. They support the same priorities.

If you look at what has occurred in the U.S. Senate since Republicans took a majority, we immediately returned after winning a historic majority to pass a tril-lion-dollar “CRomnibus” bill filled with corporate welfare and pork. Then, the so-called Republican majority voted to fund Obamacare. Then, the so-called Republican major-ity voted to fund President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty. Then, the so-called Republican major-ity voted to confirm Loretta Lynch as attorney general. Then, the so-called Republi-can majority voted to reau-thorize the Export-Import Bank, an egregious example of cronyism and corporate welfare.

Every one of those is the priority of the Minority Leader Harry Reid. Every one of those is the priority of the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell. They operate as a team, expanding Wash-ington and undermining the liberty of the people.

What we saw in the Senate on Sunday is unprecedented in the annals of Senate histo-ry. It consisted of the major-ity leader and the minority leader denying members the

So-called GOP majority advancing Washington interestsability to have votes on their amendments and indeed the ability even to have a roll-call vote. The denial of a second for a vote, which was aggressively whipped by the Republican majority, is an extraordinary measure designed to gag senators and enforce the will of the McCo-nnell-Reid leadership team.

It saddens me as a Repub-lican to see Republican lead-ership lead the effort to kill an amendment that would have prevented lifting sanc-tions on Iran unless and until Iran recognizes Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state and unless and until Iran releases American hostages.

Make no mistake, grant-ing a sufficient second for a roll call vote is done custom-arily in the Senate. Denying it is extraordinary, and it is done as a consequence of McConnell’s being afraid for his members to be on record on this issue.

We then, subsequently, saw Sen. Mike Lee of Utah bring up his amendment to defund Planned Parent-hood. We have seen in recent weeks gruesome videos of senior officials of Planned Parenthood discussing the selling of body parts of un-born children. These videos are horrifying, and yet it saddens me greatly that the Republican leader led the effort to continue the

taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood.

Make no mistake, when the majority leader whipped Republicans to vote along-side Democrats, it was no surprise that Democrats did not want to vote on that because Democrats in this chamber do not purport to support the right to life. But to see the so-called Republi-can leadership whip against allowing a vote to defund Planned Parenthood – it has the virtue of clarity. It makes clear that the McConnell-Re-id leadership team is united in favor of big government spending and debt and pow-er.

The McConnell -Reid leadership team has no inter-est in cutting off one penny of funds to Planned Parent-hood, which is why leader Mitch McConnell blocked a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood.

To the millions of Ameri-cans who rallied in Novem-ber believing if only we got a Republican majority in the Senate something would be different, this was a clarify-ing and a sad moment.

“I have fought the good fight, I have fin-ished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteous-ness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day...”

—2 Timothy 4:7-8Thoughts on

Today’s Verse...I am so thankful for Paul’s

confidence as he faces his death. He is all but abandoned and is worried about the future of the Church, but he knows two things: he has served the Lord faithfully and the Lord will receive him when he dies! Shouldn’t those two things be our most important goals in life? So if they are our goals, how do we live each day to fulfill them?

My Prayer...Faithful and loving God,

you have so richly blessed me with salvation by your grace. Please strengthen me out of the riches of that grace. I am sometimes weak and falter in my faithfulness. I know your grace is lavish, but I don’t want to presume on it or abuse it. Please give me strength and courage to live faithfully and passionately for you until the day I see you face to face and share with you in your glory and victory. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

John Did No MiracleJohn 10:31-42

Barry A Farnsworth, PastorVictory Baptist Church•Kingfisher, Oklahoma

Today, most people have an appetite for mira-cles – even if they are small miracles. If you listen to testimony meetings, you’ll hear about such mir-acles. Some even seem to be just a wee bit invent-ed. Now I am not against miracles. I believe the Lord still does miracles. He can save, He can heal, and he can change circumstances. In our present economy, if you actually get a raise in your paycheck, it’s a miracle of no small magnitude.

We see many miracles in the Word of God. Elijah performed miracles, as did Elisha, Aaron, Paul, Steven, and many others. But John did no miracle. He raised no one from the dead. He opened no blind eyes. No lame man walked because of John. In this day of anointed preaching, anointed sing-ing, and anointed healing, John would have found no prominent place in our churches. John was content to be a messenger – a voice in the wilderness, crying before the face of the people. He was content to do the job the Lord had given him. He carried his message, he identified the Lamb of God to all who would listen, and he called sin, sin..

Jesus said that, although John did no miracle, he was “more than a proph-et,” and that “among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” That’s quite a tribute to one who did no miracles. The people said two things of him – that he had done no miracle, but that everything he had said about Jesus was true.

We may not be miracle workers – but neither was John. We may not call fire from heaven, or raise the dead. But we can tell the truth about Jesus. It’s what John did.
