Possible birth place of Harry Reid

Today the family was on a field trip.  Among a number of stops, we saw the Hoover Dam and the new bridge being built over the canyon.  On the way home we stopped in Searchlight.  The website of Senator Harry Reid of Nevada mentions that Harry Reid was born "in the small rural mining town of Searchlight, Harry Reid grew up in a small cabin without indoor plumbing, and attended a two-room elementary school."

Now we are not sure about this, but just possibly we came across the birthplace of Harry Reid.

Notice these pictures we took of a house in Searchlight just off the main highway.  (Now if you have never been to Searchlight, you just don't know what you are missing.  Actually you could be quite thankful you have never been to Searchlight.  But that is for another time.)

I have passed by this house on a number of occasions heading out of town on the bicycle into the desert.



If we zoom in, you will see the for sale sign.


I guess no realtor would list it.


Now lets zoom in on that wonderful back patio, with that metal chair to sit on and enjoy the gorgeous western sunsets.


One just never knows.  Maybe it is the actual birthplace.  There isn't a house in town that I have come across that is acknowledged to be his home.  And this one looks to be a two bedroom, so maybe....

So you just might want to rush out to Searchlight and take advantage of this great opportunity to purchase a piece of history. 

If nothing else, it is what more of America will look like once Reid and Pelosi get their way with the health care bill in congress.

Is it scripture or isn't it?

Maybe you are aware of the recent discussions, summits, and debates surrounding the King James Bible. 
It appears that many independent Baptists are trying to say they are for the KJV, but afraid to sound too strong.  The main issue is whether or not the KJV is inspired.

Well, II Timothy 3:16 says,
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"

I won't get into all the arguments that each one is giving for the various positions, but rather ask one question:  Is the King James Bible scripture?

If it is, it is inspired; if it is not scripture, then it could not claim to be given by inspiration.
Many are digging in, to claim that only the original languages that the scriptures were written in are inspired.  Their argument continues that since the KJV is a translation, it can only be accurate and reliable, but not inspired.  They also argue that claiming inspiration for the KJV would mean "double inspiration".  Why not just believe the book you have is scripture, and ascribe all the description of scripture to the book you hold in your hands. 

Or do you have an agenda?

-     To lift up your education
-     To have people look up to you
-     To make people think they need to learn Greek and Hebrew to really understand what God said
-     To set up yourself as the final authority

It is"Thus saith the Lord", that people need to hear.
