In fact, the praise team offered a special arrangement of "At the Cross" for the offertory, and it was a big ol' blessing to me.

Each state is hosting a competitive gubernatorial race this fall. Republicans argue that a clean sweep (or close to it) would immediately change the electoral calculus heading into the nationwide redistricting... |

Posted by admin / Under Five Mile Pass
| Breaking with their party and president, five Democrats yesterday helped push through the state Senate a Republican measure allowing Virginians to just say no to compulsory health insurance. Voting 23-17, the Democratic-controlled Senate approved three identical proposals -- Senate Bills 283, 311 and 417 -- making it illegal to require residents to purchase health-care coverage. Similar bills are under consideration in the Republican-dominated House. Virginia joins a growing number of states -- at least 30, according to The Associated Press -- where legislators are debating proposals that object to government-mandated health-care proposals similar to those being considered by Congress. |

| WASHINGTON — House Democrats in the first weeks of the new Congress plan to establish a dedicated fund to promote renewable energy and conservation, using money from oil companies. That's only one legislative hit the oil industry is expected to take next year as a Congress run by Democrats is likely to show little sympathy to the cash-rich, high-profile business. Whether the issue is rolling back tax breaks — some approved by Congress only 18 months ago — pushing for more use of ethanol and other biofuels instead of gasoline, or investigations into shortfalls in royalty payments to the government,... |
