Here are some current events I'm eyeballing right now.
A few days ago Missouri Gov Matt Blunt signed a bill that abortion providers will NOT be allowed to present information about sexual health in the state's public schools. Hooray for Governor Blunt. Going against the powerful PP is not easy.
He said:
"All life is precious and needs to be treated with the utmost dignity and respect, I will continue working with the Missouri General Assembly to pass strong pro-life legislation that respects the sanctity and dignity of all human life."
So no more Planned Parenthood Agenda being pushed in Missouri schools. Hip Hip Hooray! Now let's boot them out of the classrooms of the next 49 states.

Tomorrow the U.S. Senate will be opened up for the first time with a non-monotheistic prayer. Instead a Hindu chaplain from Reno, Nevada, by the name of Rajan Zed is scheduled to deliver the opening prayer in the U.S. Senate. Zed tells the Las Vegas Sun that in his prayer he will likely include references to ancient Hindu scriptures, including Rig Veda, Upanishards, and Bhagavard-Gita. Historians believe it will be the first Hindu prayer ever read at the Senate since it was formed in 1789.
Why is the U.S. government is seeking the invocation of a non-monotheistic god? The Hindu's believe in many gods. How does this jive with "One Nation Under God?" The founders, religous or not spoke of their "creator." David Barton, historian says he knows of at least seven cases where Christians have lost their bid to express their own faith in a public prayer.
Many Christians with even just a slight knowledge of the OT understand the implications. Reaching out to pagan gods to appease people got Israel in a whole heap of trouble. I think tomorrow will be a sad day for America as we turn our backs on the God that made our country strong. Is this the last nail in the coffin of Christian America? I think it's time I called my Senators.
Have you ever heard of Stephen Bennett? If not, you may as he's going on a tour of all 50 states with five other former Homosexuals who have left the homosexual lifestyle behind. For more than a decade he lived the homosexual lifestyle but says he's been set free through a relationship with Christ. He says he wants to help set others free from same-sex attractions.
This tour, called 2 Corinthians 5:17 will include a program of about 1 1/2 hours in length and will be both an evangelical concert and testimonial. He's beginning in September and will have gone to all 50 states in about a two year period.

More than a year ago the American Family Association called for a boycott of Ford Motor Co because of their continued support of homosexuals. Since then Ford's sales have dropped 8.1% comparing last month's June figures with last year's June figures. Overall sales for 2007 are 11 percent lower than 2006. In addition, 700,000 families have pledged they will not buy from Ford and will honor the boycott. Is it because the boycott is working or is it because Ford's products aren't worth buying?
While this is all happening at the same time the other side is gearing up as well. About 1,500 homosexuals from 25 countries learned at a conference this month how to get their governments to favor homosexuality.
The conference, held in Scottsdale, Ariz., and sponsored by the Metropolitan Community Church, hosted delegates from countries where homosexual behavior is outlawed, such as Jamaica and Nigeria. They're on a mission.

and just for fun, I read in the news about the man who dressed up as a tree to rob a bank. He duct taped branches with leaves all over his face and head area and demanded money of a bank teller. He got away with an undisclosed sum but somebody recognized his picture on the news and called him in. I guess they had to defoilate him before they booked him. Gotta give him credit for originality but I don't think his roots went too deep.
