Thoughts To Consider Before Flying
The recent disappearance of the Malaysia Airline flight 370 and the speculations of experts who appear to have no clue on the fate of airplane, passengers, or crew should be cause for concern. This occurrence and even previous airplane mishaps should make one wonder about pilot fatigue as there appears to be continued tiredness of pilots in spite of previous association of airplane crashes to this problem. The pilots of a UPS cargo jet that crashed last August complained about the company's tiring work schedules at the start of the fatal flight. Another question to consider is could a pilot or co-pilot be under the influence of alcohol. In a culture where alcohol is prevalent, it is abused by children, college students, soccer moms, and of course pilots, among a host of other persons. There are so many bars at airports, and this is an enticement for those pilots who cannot control their alcohol intake. We can only pray in those cases where a pilot is able to cleverly hide their high alcohol consumption prior to taking control of a flight. Finally, we must consider prior to flying, if pilots have passengers' best interest at heart. The pilots flying the Malaysian aircraft are now the center of an investigation since it appears there is some connection with the flight's disappearance. It was only last month that a co-pilot hijacked his own flight in an effort to gain asylum in Switzerland. Nobody knows if there are malicious intentions to steer flights off their original course. So, while TSA 's security efforts are important, passengers have additional issues to consider

Gun Show Churches
Thought nothing else could be said about the church after discussing the lavish lifestyles of church leaders who dupe parishioners into handing over most or all of their money and worldly possessions. Furthermore, the media has already uncovered the rapes and other abuses that are committed by priests and other leaders against parishioners. So, there could be no other devious happenings that could be associated with the church - but wait, there is something else - churches are having gun shows!!?? Kentucky Baptist churches and other churches are luring males into the church by organizing a gun give-away!!?? So, men have been attending church in anticipation of receiving a gun as a door prize. As of this posting, Lone Oak Baptist Church in Paducah intends to give away another 25 handguns and shotguns to as many as 1,000 expected attendees. It is amazing how these so called "church" leaders continue to do evil in the name of religion.
Matthew 7:15 - Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
