In 1990, just after celebrating her wedding to long haul trucker Gary, Carla Elam was stunned to learn she had bone cancer. Carla knew there had to be another option to the immediate amputation of her left leg and she found it. She convinced the doctors at Vanderbilt University that they were wrong-- she was not “too old” or “too fat” for limb sparing surgery which uses an implant to replace the cancerous bone.

Carla successfully went through a grueling year long medical regimen and continued to live a full life that ultimately included custody of two grandchildren. Life was great. Cancer rechecks were negative. Even a problem with the implant in her leg was handled by inserting a metal plate. All was well until last December when her leg gave way at a wedding.

The metal plate had broken. This time more extensive surgery was needed but again Carla came through without incident. Or so she thought. In May she believed she had food poisoning. The admitting hospital couldn’t find a cause. After being transferred to a bigger facility, her kidneys shut down and the prognosis was grim. Doctors then discovered the cause: a staph infection had set into her leg. If they did not immediately amputate, it was likely she would not live through the night. And if they did, it was likely that the cut would be so high she might not be able to use a prosthesis.

As Gary said, “Talk about a will to live. She’s always been a fighter and that’s why I married her.” Not only did she come through, but her will to walk was so great that the hospital staff revised their conclusion—Carla would walk again with the proper prosthesis. Within 19 days she was at home, reorganizing her life.

That’s when Carla and Gary discovered that Carla’s ability to walk involved more than her steadfast desire. The prosthesis she would need, a computerized marvel from the Otto Bock Company known as a C-Leg, costs $50,000. Her insurance will not cover it. Carla is determined to be walking but without your help, it’s out of her reach. She’s ready to do all the hard work if you can do the easy part: Please send a donation to Limbs For Carla.

Colorado Springs police may sell seized firearms

This is a fine idea, especially when supplies are low:

"'We auction off cars. It seems to me there's not that much difference between a firearm and a vehicle," (Vice Mayor Larry) Small said. "We've got a number of homes we've seized. . . . We don't send a bulldozer over to them.'"

I urge you to send a note of thanks to Vice Mayor Small for his common sense.

Property is property, after all.

But often when cops become politicians, liberty can be the first casualty:

"The International Assn. of Chiefs of Police cautions against law enforcement agencies selling weapons they have seized. Destroying the firearms, it says, is a better policy."

† The Gospel of John Project from SermonAudio.com

I've been on the Sermon Audio mailing list for a couple of years now. In addition to the sermons and teachings they have for free download, they also have some projects that are worthy of support, such as The Gospel of John Project:

"Welcome to the Gospel of John Project — a genuine new outreach endeavor where the ultimate goal is to PRINT, MAIL and DELIVER as many copies of the Gospel of John as possible directly to homes in every major city across America. This project is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors.

"Any amount is welcome! No amount is too small! $10 will send 20 booklets. $20 will send 40 booklets. $50 will send 100 booklets. And so on..."

and this...

"The Gospel of John has been used more frequently than any other to bring people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ; it was written for that purpose."

Please take a look a see if you might be able to help this fine project.

The media thinks open carry is oh so scary!

Watch this long verison of William Kostric's interview with Chris Matthews:



God bless Father Pappas for his respect of private property, something precious we may not have for long if Obambi has his way.

And yes, it would be nice to see hundreds of armed folks openly carrying more often.

But I wish Kostric has said a few more things in his time with Mathews, to wit:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Why did you bring a gun to a meeting with the President of the United States?

KOSTRIC: Did you see the shoes I was wearing?

CM: Shoes?! Whaddaya mean did I see your shoes? What are you talking about?

WK: Well, they're just some of the other legally-possessed private property I brought with me. Like the gun.

CM: Seriously, why did you bring a handgun?

WK: Well, a rifle's pretty heavy, especially in this heat...

CM: C'mon, why did you have that gun strapped to your leg. C'mon!

WK: Well, I'll have to confess: It always sends a thrill up my leg when I wear it...
