Ariz. - A little more than a decade ago. the Alliance Defense Fund was a one-man operatton.

Todav. the orgamza. lion headquartered in a non.de script office buddmg m north Scottsdale has more than l 00 employees, branch offices in six states and files an average of one lawsuit a week - asserting Itself Ill cases involvmg Christianity and schools. gay marriage and other social-conservative concerns.

By the group's accounting, , it wms three-quarters of the suits it files, though it has lost some high-prof1le cases as well, · including its efforts to order the reinsertion of a feeding tube for Terry Schiavo. Whi Je some Christian groups have worked to influence legislation, ADP and similar organiz~tions including the American Center for Law and Justice and the Florida-based Liberty Counsel - are taking the cultural ftght to the judiciary. John Green, senior fellow in religion and American polit1cs at the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, said concern from religious conservatives about legal decisions has been· an issue for years. Indeed, rulings such as the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade helped bring conservative Christians mto politics. Judiciary action is at least as important as electoral efforts to the overall movement, he said. "They ' ve been very, very active in court," Green said.

On the one hand, I could rehearse the fact that I am beset by human nature, a nature that IS in fact inclined to revel in sin (disobedience to God). I might even be tempted to despair over the fact that. "God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. Everyone has turned away, they have · together become corrupt; there ts no one who does good, not even one" (Psalm 53:2-3 NIY). "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23 NIY). These are difficult facts to digest, I grant you, but they are important ones nonetheless for just on the other side of the grim truth of the$e, there are· awaiting us beautiful and amazing treasures that may not be ours if we cannot see what it cost for us to · possess them. And let's not kid ourselves. Who do you know that is REALLY perfect? You might you know someone who seems to be so, but were you to look in their hearts, you'd see that they struggle as even you and I do. But in spite of the fact that we are loaded w1th sin (even if only in the depths of our hearts) and in spite of the fact that there is no righteousness that we might earn or purchase that Will satisfy the holy perfection of God, and that " ... no one will be ,declared righteous in God's sight by observing the Law... " (Romans 3:20), we may yet be set free from sin's awful condemnation and stand in God's favor through faith in God's work of salvation. " ... A righteousness from God, apart from the Law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesu s Christ to all who believe ... and · are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in Hts blood" (Romans 3:21-22, 24-25a NIY). What a tremendous truth! What an amazing treasure for which to be thankful! Although I REALLY deserve jud~rnent, because of Jesus' Willing death on the Cross, I can be given forgivene ss if I'll truly turn to Him in faith! Although I REALLY deserve punishment, because of Jesus' sacrifi ce, I am given grace if I'll truly believe in Hi s name I And although J REALLY deserve to simply reap the consequences of my sin, along wirh all the rest of humanity, I am given a new future , a new hfe, and a new identity if I' II simply forsake my old ways and follow Him! "Jesus Himself bore our sins 111 His body on the 'tree,' so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by . H1s wounds we have been healed. For we were like sheep going astray, but now we have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls" (from l Peter 2:24-25). So ... ANY favor that God chooses to bestow upon me is already far and away beyond my deserved allotment and infinitely more than I have any right, in of myself and apart from Christ, to expect. What a GOOD God! If you'll trust Him as your Savior and Lord, you'll find no surer a foundation on which to build your life than is the simple truth that He is good. "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him" (Psalm 34:8 NlY). He is good when the sun shines and flowers bloom, but He is just as good when it is raining and our skies are gray. He is good when there is food on the table and we've a nice full feeling after a meal, but He is just as good when our cupboards are bare and we're not sure from where our next meal will come. God is good when we're happy and a song of joy is in our hearts, but He is also good when our sorrow threatens to swallow us up like a strangling grave. He is good when we are strong and our feet fall sure and steady along the walk of life, and He is good when our strength has faded and we fall to our knees in weariness. He is good when we're surrounded by supporters Fellowship Apostolic \\ocdnc,Jny S~rl' ll C~- 7 pIll Set'ond 8apti!>t C hurch Ra\·c nswood, WV, Sunday School 10 am Church of Jt!i'us Christ Apostollt' VanZandt and Ward Rd , Pa.">tur: J <Jmc~ M1llcr.

God is good.Let us be thankful then that God Almighty is greater than our problems: we can depend on His strength and wisdom to lead us through them victoriously. Let us be ·thankful th at the Everlasting Father (see Isaiah 9:6) is full of grace and mercy without end: We can depend on His promises to forgive tho se who will truly place their faith in Him and that He will meet them w1th forgiveness and the gift of eternal life (see Romans 6:23). Let us be thankful that He is strong and well able to support, encourage and guide those who become Hi s children through faith in Christ Jesus: We can depend on His strength and faithfulness even when our own blinded sensibilities deny them (see Psalm 27:5). God ts good ... and He's good ALL the time! Let us begm the holiday season with revisiting this heavenly "reahty check." Let our hearts be open and soft to the healing touch of God's forgiveness and grace. Let us "drink m" the amazing and wonderful truth that God is good and Jet our gift to Him be the gtft of thankfulness! "You are forgiving and good, 0 Lord, abounding in love to all who call to You. Hear my prayer, 0 LORD; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of trouble I will call to You, for You will answer me" (Psalm 86:7 NIY).

There are 36 Jays left in the year. · Today's Highl ight in History: On Nov. 25. 1963. the body of President Kennedy was laid to re >t ut Arlington National Cemetery. On thi s date: In 1758, in the French and Indian War, the British captured Fort Duquesne in present-day Pittsburgh. In 17S3, the British evacuated New York, their last military pos ition in the United States during the Revolutionary War. In 188l. Pope John XXIII was born Angelo Ronc.alli near Bergamo, Italy. In 1944. baseball commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis died at age 78. In 1957. President Eisenhower suffered a slight stroke. In 197 3, Greek President George Papadopoulos was ousted in a bloodless military coup. In 1974, former U.N. Secretary-General U Thant died in :-lew York at age 65. In 1985, Ronald W. Pelton, a former employee of the :-.lational S.ecurity Agency, was arrested on es pionage charges. (Pe lton was later convicted of se lling secrets to Soviet agenls.J In 1999, 5-year-old Elian Gonzalez was rescued by a pair of sport fis hermen off Florida, setting off an international custody hattie between relatives in Miami and Elian's father in Cuba. , In 2002, President Bush signed legislation creating the Department of Homeland Security, and appointed Tom Ridge to be its head. Ten years ago: In his weekly radio address, President Clinton appealed to America's values and interests as he pleaded for support for the Bosnia peace agreement. Serbs in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo took to the streets by the thousands to protest the peace plan, vowing to fight to the death. Five years ago: Hundreds of military veteran.s ancj retirees, angered by the rejection of overseas absentee ballots in Florida. held a noisy demonstration in Pensacola; one of several rallies Republicans and Democrats staged across Florida.

Thought for Today: "Self is the only prison that can ever bind the souL" - Henry van Dyke, American clergyman (1852-1933). 1 Friday, November 25, 2005 In talking about politics, people often move back and forth quite casually between references to "the Republican Party" and to "the c.onservative movement." Sometimes they are treated as almost synonymous, and, then again, they ·may be regarded as very different things ·- almost rivals. Worst of all, many people seem to consider them a single big ball of wax, sharing the characteristics o( both the party and the movement. For the sake of clarity, let us analyze them and distingu ish them from one another. The Republican Party is the much older of the two, having been founded in 1854 and fielded presidential and lesser candidates in every election since. The conservative movement, . which is often and quite rightly defined more precisely as the "modern American conservative movement," didn't get under way, as a selfaware entity, until a century later, over a period of several years in the early 1950s. Among its early manifestations were the publication of Russe ll . · Kirk's · "The Conservative Mind'' in 1953 and the , launching of National Review by Bill example, the Democratic Party was, in addition to much else, the political instrument of the slaveholding interests.) From their start - but, above ·all, from George the launching of Franklin Plagenz Roosevelt's . 1\ew Deal onward - the leftist movements (to the extent that they have not founded parties of Buckley in 1955 .

The party (Before the Civil War, for can repudiate the movement, a or the movement can walk out of the party - as the Democrats ultimately rejected slavery, and the Progressives in 1912 walked out of the Republican Pany. At the moment, however, the Republican Party and the conservative movement still seem comfortably wedded. The marriage began in 1964, with the pany's nomination of Barry Goldwater for president, and has lasted ever since. Many analysts assumed that the relatively liberal wing of the GOP would revive after Goldwater's crushing defeat and resume control of ,the party. But this never happened: Nixon's nomination in 1968 resulted from a decision by the conservative · movement (albeit a bad one), and Reagan 's election and re-election simp!~ nailed down the alliance. Today, practically all Republican candidates proclaim their conservatism, and almost all conservative leaders vow their allegiance to the Republican Pany. It has been a remarkably fruitful union.

From his ranch here. Bush called troops serving in the Coast Guard. Marines, Navy, Air Force ;md Army early Thursday morning before sitting down for dinner with his family. "He thanked all of them on behalf of the American peo. pie for their service," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. "He said all of them were patriots. He's very proud of them and thankful for them." Perino said Bush asked those 'he spoke with to pass the messag¢ on to their fellow service members. Talking to troops has been a tradition for Bush on Thanksgiving. He often makes such phone calls, but in 2003 he went further, surprising soldiers serving in Baghdad by showing up unannounced in their mess · hall for the hoi iday meal. The White House did not release the names of those the pres idem called this year, but said at least one was serving in Afghanistan. one was in Iraq and one was on a ship at sea. The names were selected by the Defen se Department. While · Bush marked the holiday by thanking troops, ' . anti-war activists including Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier, were gathering near Bush's ranch to protest the war.

He was giving an account ol' hi s most memorable Thanksgiving dinner. Allen was 12 at the time and the parents of the two boys he hung out with were suddenly called away for the day. So it was arra nged that the three boys would try their hand at cooking a small turkey and making their own meal. "We were given full instructions which we rul·' lowed with much horseplay," he wrote, "and as the smells began to emanate from the big wood range, we went around clumping one another . on the back and chortling with satisfaction. Actually we cooked a pretty good meal.

We heaped mounds of potatoes on our plates, took all the gravy the plates . would hold. eliminated sissified thin slices and just cut the turkey in chunks - to match our appetites. "If someone reached across the wble and clawed off a, choice piece, nobody sent him from the table. We just laughed and yelled and kept on ·eating. "About halfway through the meal, we all got quiet.

He had two tackles for losses, tipped two passes and pressured Dolphins quarterback Sage Rosenfels into throwing an interception on his first attempt. The Browns held Miami to 55 net passing yards fllld only 194 total yards. Davis, who is in his fourth year, leads the Browns with 135 tackles.

Some players, including Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, said they wanted Owens back, but coach Andy Reid and management stuck by their decision.

Two teams near the top of their conferences fought hard and close for more than four quarters, with the margin never wider than a touchdown. Both defenses came up with big plays and each team downed a punt inside the 2.

Bell. who grew up in a Dallas suburb, sat out with a bruised chest. He was listed as questionable all week and had said he wanted to play. His average of 6.0 yards per carry is the best in the NFL.

Vick threw two touchdown passes to Crumpler and Dunn ran for 116 yards to lead the Atlanta Falcons to a 27-7 victory over Detroit on Thursday. Atlanta (( -4) took advantage of playing the lowly Lions (4-7). closing the gap behind NFC South co-leaders Carolina and Tampa Bay to a half-game after losing two straight at home. The only . positive for Detroit was the result of its annual Thanksgiving game wasn't as bad as. last year's, when Indianapolis beat the Lions 41-9, handing them their most lopsided loss on the holiqay .

Garcia had replaced starter Joey Harrington earlier in· an interception. Crumpler the second quarter. tied career highs with seven receptions and two touchdowns, and had. I 04 yards receiving . Dunn went over the I 00-yard mark on just 17 carries, thanks in part to some huge holes opened up by the offensive line . The Lions had such a rough day on offense they went through three quarterbacks. Joey Harrington started and 'was 6-of- .13 for 61 yards. with an interception. Jeff Garcia entered the game late in the first half and completed 14 of 24 passes for 1.54 yards with a TD and an interception . Rookie Dan Orlovsky, who got a chance to play late in the game, was 5-of-11 for 43 yards and, fittingly, a fumble with 15 seconds left just outside of Atlanta's end zone. When Detroit's quarterbacks did make good pass, es, receivers often dropped them. The Falcons led -17-0 at halftime after scoring on three of their first four drives while Detroit had turnovers on its first two possessions.

In what has bec'ome a Motor City tradition, soine fans chanted, " Let's Go Red Wings 1" late in the fourth quarter as perhaps 5,000 spectators stuck around to watch the end of the awful performance . The Falcons proved from the start they would not play down to their competition. Vick made plays with his arm and feet on the opening drive, throwing for 39 yards 'and running for 17.

Droughns 13_2 yards away from ending Browns' two-decade-old drought BEREA (AP) - Slimmer and speedier than a year ago, Reuben Droughns has quickly moved to the cusp of hitting a big, round number for the Browns. Coming off a 166-yard performance against Miami on Sunday, Droughns has rushed for 868 yards in I 0 ga mes, leaving him just 132 yards shy of becoming Cleveland's first I,000-yard rusher smce Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner in 1985. The · nearly 20-season drought is the NFL's longest. "I understand the streak the Browns have been on," he said. "I definitely want to give something back to the fans, and hopefully we can do it real soon. " Droughns could get to I ,000 this Sunday at Minnesota. And if he does, he doesn't plan to stop at I ,001. Now that he's hit his stride, D(oughns is confident he can become the only Browns back other than Hall of Farner Jim Brown to eclipse I ,300 yards in a season. "With those offensive lineman.i' said Drough ns. raising " " his toes to peer over a huddle of reporters toward the offensive linemen's corner of the locker room, " I reaII y do believe so." Droughns · confidence is soaring following his most productive game in his first season with Cleveland. Last Sunday, he ripped off a 75yard TD run the first time he touched the ball and finished with a season-high 30 carries as the Browns were able to build a big lead and then use Droughns to protect it. A fullback in Denver before he busted loose for I ,240 yards last season. Droughns still runs with a blocking back's mentality. More often than not, he' I.) take on a tackler head first rather than run around one.

He has be come popular with Cleveland's improved offensive line. too. Center Jeff Faine said the unit almost ,considers Droughns one of its own. "He can move the pile," Faine said. "You love blocking for a guy like him , because you know he's running as hard as he can." Questions trailed Droughns when he arrived in Cleveland in a trade in March. Could he be an every-down back ? Could he duplicate his 1,000- yard season? Was. he just a product of Denver s runnmgback friendly system? -The jury was still out early ·on, and the Browns seemed reluctant to use him . Dfoughns rushed for 331 yards in his first five .games, averaging 17 carries. But in the past five games, he 's picked up 537 yards and has gotten the ball about 21 times a game.

One week afler they couldn't win a game in whi ch the Ravens· Kyle Boller was the oppos ing 4uarterback, the Steelers will be challenged Monday nig ht by one of the best passers in NFL history in Peyton Manning lif the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts . Naturally. it could be as.-;u med the oft-creative LeBeau is spending every waking hour tryin g 10 find a new "rinkle in the NFL' s most blitz- heavy defensive scheme for Manning something different , something innovative to slow an offense that has scored 30- plu s points in live consecutive games. Steelers linebacker Joey Porter said it simply isn't so. To him. the Steeleis know what they'll be getting from Manning, the game's best and big-play creator, Manning knows what he'll be getting from the Steelers. Namely, pressure ·from ev.ery angle and nearly every position , changed up on every play to keep him guessing. "As a defense you want to confuse the quarterback, you don' t want the quarterback to confuse you," Porter said. "We' ve got to stick to what we do best, and try to get him out of his rhythm as much as we can ." LeBeau introduced many of the Steelers' blitzes while on coach Bill Cowher's staff in the mid1990s, and t h e y r.e main ed a f t e r LeBeau returned to Notebook his home. t o w n Cincinnati Bengals to coach . When LeBeau came back to Pittsburgh last year, he tweaked many of the blitzes and added others in a design he said is ever changing. Manning has never beaten Pittsburgh in his eight NFL seasons, but there's an asterisk attached to that: He's played them only once, a 2810 loss in a 2002 Monday night game in Pittsburgh. Manning passed for 304 yards and a· touchdown, but was intercepted three times. The Colts' offense wasn't as diversified or as developed as it is now, with the NFL's most proficient combination of passing and running . Manning is iied with Cincinnati's Carson Palmer for the league lead with 20 touchdowtr passes, Edgerrin · James is second in rushing with 1,116 yar~s and Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison are among the top six in receiving. In that 2002 game, the S teelers forced turnovers and won the physical battle and , to Porter, they must do tlie same thing Monday. The Steelers (7-3), 16-13 overtime losers to Baltimore last Sunday, may need to end the Colts' I 0-game winning streak to keep pace with Cincinnati (7-3) in the AFC North. The Bengals play the Ravens (3-7) on Sunday after losing to the Colts 45-37 last weekend. "We don't think anybody can match up with us on the physical aspect throughout a whole game," Porter said. "Some games we lost, but we always feel we can win the' phy sical battle. Corning into this game , it's going to be no different. We ' re . going out there to try to control the game, and dellnitelybe ;>hysical when we can do it." Ju st as. Porter promises the Steelers won't get away from what they do best, Steelers . left guard Kendall Simmons doe sn' t expect a Colts defense led by defensive end Dwight Freeney (7 ~acks) and linebacker Cato June (5 interceptions) to change at all. While the Steelers run the ball nearly 60 percent of the time. a much higher percentage than most teams, Simmons is planning on seeing the same Colts defense he saw last week. And the week before that, and the week before tlmt. "They haven't changed anything for anybody they played," Simmons said . . "They kind of sit back in that Cover 2 and let those front guys go to work. There's a couple of blitzes they do and that's about it. They make you earn it. We really don't ha~e to honestly study too much because they only do a couple of things we have to watch, and that's on third down, and that's about it. There's nothing complicated about it.". · Roethlisber r expects to play against Colts despite knee pain PITTSBURGH (AP ) - Now Ben Roethli sberger is back, the Pittsbllrgh Steelers can only hope that the rest of their offen se returns with him. Roethlisberger ran the otfense in practice for the first time in nearly a month Wednesday after missing three consecutive games and fom of six with knee injuries. He still has pain after needing right knee surgery Nov. 3, but not nearly as much as in past weeks. "It feels like an eternity since I've been out there.'' RoethlisbeJger said.

Clearly, it's the pivotal stretch of·the season as the Steelers and Cincinnati compete for the AFC North title. After losing their only two starts with former starter Tommy Maddox at quarterback, it was evident that the Steelers had to have Roethlisberger for this stretch drive. He is I8-1 as.a starter, and the con-fidence he brings and his ability to win games in a variety of ways is something his teammates value. "We can't wait to get him out there.'' right tackle Max. Starks said. Ahd, tfiough nobo.dy rn the locker room was saying it, to get the immobile Maddox out of there. Maddox was sacked six times and was nearly brought down three other times in a 16- I 3 o~ertime Joss Sunday to Baltimore (3-7), a ioss that cost the Steelers a chance to move into the divi sion lead by themselves. Because Maddox couldn't dodge the Ravens' pass rush long enough to consistently get the Rail downfield, the Ravens loaded· up the line . of scrimmage with eight defenders and often dropped only three de fensive backs into coverage. . The result was predictable: a season-low 70 yards rushing and a career-low zero yards on two carries for Jerome Bettis, who possibly could be deactivated in Indianapolis. ''They ' re not going to be able to keep eight in the box if Ben is in there. so it's something we're looking forward to," Starks said. Uuce Staley ran for 76 yards and 64 yards in the only two games he has played much, and now that he's off the injury list after also needing a k;nee operation, he is expected to be Willie Parker 's backup Mo11day. Parker was held to 59 yards on 18· carries by Baltimore, but his speed could be a factor on one of the NFL's fas(est playing surfaces in Indianapolis . Still, the Steelers seem annoyed that few seem to be giving them a chance to win despite' their 22-4 record over the last two seasons.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Rutgers seeking bowl bid as it ·plays Bearcats PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) - As Rutgers tries to make itself look worthy of a bowl invitation, Cincinnati is just trying to make inroads for the future. · The Bearcats (4-6, 2-4) wrap up their first season in ,the ]3ig East when they visit Rutgers (6-4, 3·3) Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams. Rutgers has lost two straight games since it beat Navy 31 21 to become bowl eligible. The Knights know if they lose three straight and still go 10 a bowl, jt could lead to further unflattering comments. "We.'ve got to control our own destiny," said backup fullback Ishmael Medley, a fifth-year senior playing his final home game. "We won't want people looking at us saying 'Oh well, Rutgers. is 6-5 but they're still going 10 a bowl game."'

"Our guys will be e~cited to play," coach Mark Dantonio said. "Even if it's not for· a bowl game, we have seniors leaving and we need to set the tone for next year. That's as critical as anything.'.' Dantonio added. Rutgers is still struggling with its quarterback situation as senior Ryan Hart and junior Mike Tee! are both nursihg sore shoulders. Coach Greg Schi~o said he would watch the p gress of each this week befo making a decision. While Cincinnati does not have the offensive weapons of Rutgers and only averages 15 points per game in Big East contests, the . Bearcats offer some challenges. "I was impressed with the quarterback on film," Knights defensive. end Ryan Neill said of freshman Dustin Grutza. ·~ He ' s a rea! young guy, he does a good job of .avoiding the rush.
