Topic:  Flying Marines to War and Back Home

For 5-years, Mindy volunteered for dangerous work as a stewardess on flights transporting U. S. Marines to Vietnam during the War and back to America after their tour of duty.  Come listen to her war experiences during this difficult time in American History in which veterans were not appreciated or valued.  

The 5000 Year Leap that occurred because of the American Revolution has changed the world. Human technology at the time of ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, and the American Revolution was all basically the same with little change; however, after the American Revolution human technology advanced dramatically. The book, The 5000 Year Leap (A Miracle That Changed the World, Principles of Freedom 101,  by W. Cleon Skousen, explains the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. This book is available at The National Centers for Constitutional Studies, NCCS.net.

Why would ordinary farmers and store keepers take up arms against their own country and found a new one? The tyrant George III had discriminated against our religious freedoms, levied excessive taxes, stolen our private property, restricted local trade and industry, deprived us of legal due process, hired Indians and Germans to murder our women and children, and sent military forces to seize our guns and ammunition. The first law of nature requires the self defence of our lives and the lives of our families. This War between The People and Government made it clear that to reject the twin evils of Tyranny and Democracy, and thus build a Wall of Separation Between Religious Freedom and State Atheism, Between Liberty and Slavery, Between Happiness and Despotism, we had to pursue Biblical Virtue and a Constitutional Republican Form of government. This Wall of Separation was first defined by Thomas Jefferson as: “We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable, that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness.”  And later this Wall of Separation was defined by the U. S. Bill of Rights (see also: Article IV, Section 4 in the U. S. Constitution). Note: Aristotle defined “Happiness” in his Nicomachean Ethics as: “an activity of the soul in conformity with excellence and virtue.” 

 Many of you have read C. S. Lewis' books: "Mere Christianity," "The Screwtape Letters," "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" (book 2 of the "Chronicles of Narnia"), and/or others; but what do you know about C. S. Lewis himself?  The film "The Most Reluctant Convert" by the Fellowship for Performing Arts tells the untold story of C. S. Lewis.  The film presents Lewis' own Words from his autobiography "Surprised by Joy."  It is filmed on location at Lewis' boyhood home in Dublin, Ireland, at the house of his tutor in Sussex, England, at Oxford University, at his favorite pub, at his home at Oxford, and at Lewis' church.  As C. S. Lewis tells his own story where each event happened and as he leads you from one world to another in Narnian style, you will meet some interesting people like: his father, the Great Knock, J. R. R. Tolkien ("The Lord of the Rings"), immortals, and even God ("Holy Bible").  Maybe you will be surprised by joy, too.  The film is 74 minutes and appropriate for children over 13.
