I would love to give the Pastor
of this predominantly black church in
Virginia a hug and a
high five. This guy is obviously a leader.
Perhaps we should each decide
who our real
leader is…..It is amazing to see that very little has
changed in 4,000 years.

Good morning, brothers and sisters;
it’s always a delight to see
the pews crowded on Sunday
morning and so eager to get into
God’s Word. Turn with me
in your Bibles, if you will, to the 47th
chapter of Genesis, we’ll
begin our reading at verse 13 and go
through verse 27.
Brother Ray, would you stand and
read that great passage for us?
…(reading)….
Thank you for that fine reading,
Brother Ray.. So we see that
economic hard times fell
upon Egypt and the people turned to
the government of Pharaoh
to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh
nationalized the grain
harvest and placed the grain in great storehouses
that he had built. So the
people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a
great tax increase, and
gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And
this went on until their
money ran out and they were hungry again.
So when they went to Pharaoh after
that, they brought their
livestock -their cattle,
their horses, their sheep, and their donkey -
to barter for grain and
verse 17 says that only took them through
the end of that year..
But the famine wasn’t over was
it? So the next year the people
came before Pharaoh and
admitted they had nothing left except
their land and their own
lives. “There is nothing left in the sight
of my lord but our bodies
and our land. Why should we die before
your eyes, both we and
our land? Buy us and our land for food
and we with our land will
be servants to Pharaoh..” So they
surrendered their homes,
their land, and their real estate to
Pharaoh’s government and
then sold themselves into slavery
to him, in return for grain.
What can we learn from this, brothers
and sisters?
That turning to the government
instead of to God to be our provider
in hard times only leads
to slavery? Yes. That the only reason
government wants to be
our provider is to also become our master?
Yes.
But look how that passage ends,
brothers and sisters! Thus Israel
settled in the land of
Egypt, in the land of Goshen.. And they gained
possessions in it and
were fruitful and multiplied greatly.” God
provided for His people,
just as He always has! They didn’t end up
giving all their possessions
to government, no, it says they gained
possessions! But I also
tell you a great truth today and an ominous
one.
We see the same thing happening
today – the government today
wants to “share the
wealth” once again, to take it from us and redistribute
it back to us. It wants
to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken
control of education, and
ration it back to us, and when government
rations it, then government
decides who gets it, and how much, and
what kind. And if we go
along with it, and do it willingly, then we will
wind up no differently
than the people of Egypt did four thousand years
ago – as slaves to the
government and as slaves to our leaders.
What Mr. Obama’s government is
doing now is no different from what
Pharaoh’s government did
then and it will end the same. And a lot of
people like to call Mr.
Obama a “Messiah,” don’t they? Is he a Messiah?
A savior? Didn’t the Egyptians
say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves,
“You have saved our
lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh”?
Well, I tell you this -
I know the Messiah; the
Messiah is a friend of mine;
and Mr. Obama is no Messiah!
No, brothers and sisters,
if Mr. Obama is a character
from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh.
Bow with me in prayer,
if you will…
Lord, You alone are worthy to be
served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government
is not our deliverer and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth
chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people
of what a ruler would do,
where it says “And in that day you will cry out
because of your king, whom
you have chosen for yourselves, but
the LORD will not answer
you in that day.”
And Lord, we acknowledge
that day has come. We cry
out to you because of the ruler that we have
chosen for ourselves as
a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray
for revival and we pray
for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to
seek You and hands to serve You and protect Your people
from the atrocities of
Pharaoh’s government.
In God We Trust…

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats yet they are still POOR!
“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage
by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
Abraham Lincoln

I don’t carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I  don’t carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world..
 
I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil.
I carry a gun  because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
 
I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government..
 
I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry.
I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
 
I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
 
I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a  cowboy.

Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
 
Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin’…..author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
 
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
 
Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!
 
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
 
With guns, we are ‘citizens’.  Without them, we are ‘subjects’.
 
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
 
If you value your freedom, please spread this anti gun-control message to all of your friends.
 
 
The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental. 

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND’S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

IT’S A NO BRAINER!
DON’T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely. 
  
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let’s say I break into your house.
Let’s say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. 
  
But I say, ‘No! I like it here. It’s better than my house. I’ve made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I’ve done all the things you don’t like to do. I’m hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters: 
 
You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to feed me
You are Required to add me to your family’s insurance plan
You are Required to Educate my kids
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family 
  
My husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest. (except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.

It’s only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I’m just trying to better myself. I’m a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house
And what a deal it is for me!!!

I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, and I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so that you can communicate with me.

Why can’t people see how ridiculous this is?!  
 
America is governed by idiots and those idiots are elected by idiots.

Here we go.

A proper grip is a grip that will NATURALLY align the guns sights to the eye of the shooter without having to tilt your head or move your wrists around in order to that. Also a proper grip, and most importantly, is a grip that allows the gun to return to the same position that is one in that allowed the sights to be aligned without having to search for the sights after each and every shot.  

To many times I have seen, and I am sure most of you have also, may do it yourself. Someone shoots and you can see the front of the gun waving around as they try to get sight alignment back. This is not a problem with recoil management, grip strength or position. This is a grip issue.

If you line the gun up you arm and too your shoulder in order to align the sights one of 2 things must happen. Your head leaves a natural position in order to see the sights since they are lined up with your shoulder or you have turn your wrists until the sight are slignes to your eye and then the gun is no longer aligned up your arm. This was called “grip alignment.”

Yes back in the day they taught “grip alignment.” Well grip alignment as they described it is BS, just like Natural Point of Aim with a pistol is BS. But that’s a different conversation.  Two handed shooters don’t even shoot with the gun aligned up their strong arm to their shoulder. Unless you have some deformity and you head is growing out of your shooting side shoulder why would you want the gun aligned up your arm to your shoulder?

This is for a 1911 slab style grip or a .22 with slabs. If you are using orthopedic grips you can’t do it with them.

My grip is simple, it’s not hard to get into and once you get it, it will feel better and recoil will be better managed and the sights will always come back to alignment. If you rotate the meaty portion of your hand below the little finger behind the back-strap of the gun, everytime you shoot, it will want to move off of it. It is just a squishy, fatty portion of your hand that cannot control the gun or offer any resistence to recoil whatsoever. The fatty portion of the hand there cannot be moved, it is just fat. Try to move it. The movement caused by making fist does not count because the rest of the hand causes that movement.  The place the gun tends to move to is the valley formed between that meaty portion below the little finger and the meaty part of the thumb. So I ask why not start with the gun in the place it wants to be.

Even with a picture this hard to describe and even when done in person we still tend to have to work individually with shooters to show them how to do it.

The best and easiest way to get the proper grip, at least a good starting position as you may need to tweak it around a bit until it feels good, is with a holster.

Put your 1911 in a holster on the side of your body not in fron or behind, but on the side  of your hip. Put your hands in the surrender position, like the action shooters from. Keep your eyes and head straight. Allow your shooting hand to come down naturally to the gun, don’t move it around just let it come down and grab the gun. The fatty part of the little finger should all be on the right panel of the grip. Now keeping the gun in your hand with the grip assume your one handed shooting position. The sights should be pretty close to being aligned. If they are not the you will need to tweak the grip a bit. Like I said this is best if in person and someone who uses the grip can actually show you.

So if you ever run into me at a match or wherever please ask and I will show you or talk to someone who has attended a clinic or uses the same grip and ask them.

I hope the phots below are of some help.

What is it about the Hollywood type that sooo many Americans give them the time of day when it comes to something other than reding a script that was pu tin front of them. Why do we care what someone who makes a living off acting like something they are not, thinks? This is beyond belief. They are a bunch of dolt minded individuals that are more out of touch with reality than the President himself.
