The Patriot Pastor

---First published at stephen-blog.com when I was using that site.---

Last Sunday Garret Lear preached at our Church.   He is an excellent speaker who knows the Bible, politically incorrect history (which is correct), the Constitution, and many more important things very well.

He understands the founding of our Country extremely well, overall I would say he is the best historian I know.

Here is a little about him (copied from his site)

Garrett Lear, a native New Englander born in 1948, is affectionately known across the nation as “The Patriot Pastor” because of his expertise and extensive knowledge and documentation of the founding of America , his deep abiding love for the original intent of The Founding Fathers and his understanding of The New Testament Church. He has 388 years of ancestry in New England America and is a member of The National Society Sons of The American Revolution. He has been in ministry since 1974 with the last 28 years fulltime with ministry in all 50 states, Canada and Eastern Europe. Although, he has  an imposing stature at 6’7”, it is very obvious that he loves Jesus Christ with all his heart, mind and strength while he teaches others to do the same. He is commonly referred to as a great encourager of victorious Christian  living in any circumstances.

Garrett has been a denominational leader, a local pastor, evangelist, prison chaplain, prayer intercessor, local leader of many national ministries, Bible college teacher, Gospel singer ,worship leader, revival and conference speaker. He is mentor and often called upon wise counselor to many church, government and business leaders across the country. He has been appreciated especially in men’s ministries over the years… a man’s man. He is a popular radio, television and media guest including such national programs as The 700 Club. He hosts his own radio broadcast “Water From The Well” and 2 internet websites that are widely visited. It is said of him that he is always interesting, well informed, often humorous, understandable, vigorous and filled with The Holy Spirit… and that he expects great things to happen in The Lord’s presence … and they do. His practical application of Biblical principles are seasoned with many years of living by faith and the testimonies of The Lord’s miraculous answers to prayer.

Garrett and Annette, his wife who is a Hawaiian , founded The Well of Living Water Christian Ministries based on John 4 in 1980 in Hana, Maui, Hawaii after a lengthy time of fasting and prayer. They have 4 natural children, numerous foster children, 1 grandchild and many spiritual sons and daughters in The Lord.

They home educated their children and encouraged others to do the same. Pastor Lear has often spoken at the NH legislature in favor of legislation favorable to home schoolers. He has openly challenged Christians all over America to withdraw their children from the government schools. He has been one of the most active prolife, pro family, pro traditional marriage, original intent smaller government clergyman in New Hampshire and America.

They make their home and ministry base office in the mountains of New Hampshire where Garrett enjoys many outdoor activities.

If Pastor Lear is ever in  your area make sure here get to hear him speak.  He is amazing!

Lead Law (CPSIA)

The CPSIA (Consumer Produce Safety Improvement Act) is a law that requires things that are being sold to children (12 and under) in the US (toys, books, clothing, etc) must be inspected for lead.
I think the real problem is things that are being made in other countries. The price to have your things inspected is expensive. This will be a real blow to small businesses, home-school sellers, home-schoolers, even big businesses, etc.
I think this is really extreme and ridiculous, I mean, if my parents gave me a bike, would I eat it for lunch?
The government keeps talking about helping the economy, but this will not help it, this will hurt it.
