HOPE BONNIE DOESN'T CALL DOWN A CAT-5 ON MY BUTT!

Hi Jack,
Blessings to you and those who are dear to you! I just want to follow up on the phone call this morning regarding Pastor Hagee and Rev. Wright. You abruptly cut me off because (I believe) I was defending Pastor Hagee. I was very polite and respectful to you, but you rudely cut me off when I was trying to discuss Katrina with you. Please accept my apologies if I was rude; I did not mean to be. I do hope you want to know the truth. We should all want that. Pastor Hagee has a history of loving this country and praying for it. I have sat in his church for years and know him well. He is a loving and kind man who works very, very hard spreading the Gospel. He is also bold and will not apologize for addressing sin and the consequences of sin.

Regarding New Orleans and Katrina. It is not a secret that New Orleans is very perverted. I visited New Orleans and regret it very much. Bourbon street was full of Vodoo type establishments and perversions of sorts. When Pastor Hagee spoke of Katrina, it was with regard to God's judgment on sin. I have compassion for those who suffered and I know Pastor Hagee does, too. He would never want to see someone suffer. That is why he is in the ministry. It is about sparing people the judgment that they deserve (including me). God's love and grace is availabe to all who accept it through Jesus Christ, and that is Gospel message he preaches. Pastor Hagee also believes in reconciliation. With that in mind, when a person--or a people--are abused, they are not exempt from forgiving and moving on in righteousness, peace and love. All of us are called, regardless of our circumstances, to forgive and rise above circumstances. It is completely against Christ's teachings to speak as Reverend Wright does when he says, "God Bless America...oh no, no... God -------- America". Let me make is simple: 1. Pastor Hagee blesses America. 2. Reverend Wright cursed it. Hoping to hear from you.

Blessings, Bonnie
P.S. Next time I call please don't cut me off :) !

Bonnie,
Very simply, KTSA takes a break for network programming at :58:50 of each hour. Your call got on the air at approx. 9:58 and had to be over before fifty seconds elapsed. No rudeness intended. I was (and still am) chuckling at your bifurcated message of "blessing America" while cursing New Orleans. Doesn't pass my W.W.J.D. test Bonnie! But please call again and hopefully we'll have more time.
Jack
