I never done a weekly roundup before, but OneNewsNow is just full of good stories for the week.

Happy Birthday Israel! Turning 60?! Awesome. No nation has ever fit the bill as a miracle nation like the Israel does. Even more exciting — God told us in His Word that they would be a nation again. I’m getting ready to head to church or I’d leave references. Feel free to leave them in the comment section (Neil). Anyway, as frustrating as politics are right now, we are living in EXCITING times and Bible prophecy is being fulfilled each and every day.

Israeli activist, Gary Bauer, is urging the U.S. State Department to make sure former President Carter doesn’t run a muck the world meeting with and endorsing terrorists organizations:

Bauer, president of the conservative group American Values, says it is dangerous for Carter to grant legitimacy to the terrorist group. “This trip is an absolute disaster. It’s counter to the national security interest of the United States, and I want to call on the State Department to seriously consider revoking former President Carter’s visa so that this sort of trip cannot be done again. It is damaging to the interests of the United States,” Bauer contends.

I agree, but a reality check tells me this nut of an ex-President will continue in his asinine ways until he finally gets the chance to answer to God for his bone head foreign policy ideas. Ouch! I would not want to be Jimmuh on that day.

Guess what? National Right to Life is endorsing McCain! Really, what choice do they have?

National Right to Life has endorsed presumptive Republican nominee Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) for president. While McCain has not been considered the ideal candidate by most of the pro-life community, many consider him a much better choice than either Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) or Senator Barak Obama (D-Illinois).

And last but least, Californians had better start spanking their children while it’s still legal. I’m not saying that all children need spanked, but like it not, most do! I can pretty much guarantee you that our child would not be headed down the path of success if proper discipline had not been part of her upbringing.

The legislation is a resurrected version of Democrat Sally Lieber’s bill from last year, minus the outright spanking ban. The bill prohibits using “implements” such as wooden spoons, paddles, rolled-up newspapers, switches, belts, or brushes — essentially, allowing only the hand.

Randy Thomasson of Campaign for Children and Families warns that if the bill is approved, the penalty for their use is severe. “You’re going to be arrested, handcuffed, taken to the police station, [and be] charged,” he details. Thomasson says that once a parent is charged, then a jury will determine if it was reasonable for that parent to administer a spanking.

Not to start a parenting lesson here, but I truly believe spanking your child with your hand is wrong. Not to mention, very ineffective.

Well, I have to run to church. My apologies in advance if this post is full of typos — that’s what we get when we type with one hand and get in a hurry!
