BTW: One month until Christmas Day…
Thank you for participating in packing shoeboxes through Operation Christmas Child. From Danny Spainhour with Pinedale Christian Church:
We’re still waiting on the exact total but as of tonight (Tuesday) we have 34,784 shoeboxes in route to the processing center in Charlotte from the Winston-Salem area. I’m pretty sure we’ll go over the 35K mark once everything is totaled up.
Danny says ”There are plenty of times in ministry when you’re not exactly sure if – or how much – you might have helped to advance the Good News. However, with each shoebox we know the story of Jesus Christ will be shared and everyone involved will be invited to accept Him as Savior and Lord. Thanks for helping us send out over 35,000 invitations from the Triad.’ More information at www.operationchristmaschild.com
RECALL: TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY SAID TODAY THAT IT PLANS TO REPLACE ACCELERATOR PEDALS ON NEARLY 4 MILLION TOYOTA AND LEXUS MODELS. The company will replace the accelerator pedals on vehicles in the US that were recalled in September to address problems with the pedals becoming jammed in the floor mat.
The company is offering a temporary measure as a safety precaution. Toyota dealers will shorten the length of the gas pedals beginning in January while the replacement pedals are being developed. The new pedals will be available in April.
Massive ‘Crib’ Recall: A voluntary recall of over 2 million drop-side baby cribs made by Stork Craft Manufacturing. Close to 150,000 of the cribs have the Fisher-Price logo.

Producers with "Good Morning America" have cancelled a LIVE performance this morning from Adam Lambert, last season’s runner up on American Idol. The fallout continues from Lambert's risqué performance at the American Music Awards on Sunday. The Liberty Counsel has filed a complaint with the FCC over the performance. The Parents Television Council, a conservative Media watchdog group, also attacked the show as vulgar and is urging its members to contact Dick Clark Productions and the show's advertisers with complaints about the content.

Four NBC affiliates broadcasting the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade tomorrow are banning a commercial promoting veganism sponsored by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (or PETA). A PETA spokesman said Tuesday the organization wanted to air the commercial during the parade but stations in Raleigh, Columbia, Savannah and Little Rock, Ark., are banning the PETA spot. If you are wondering: The commercial depicts a young girl saying grace at Thanksgiving, giving thanks for "the turkey farms where they pack them into dark, tiny little sheds for their whole lives." The ad encourages viewers to "Go vegan."

Good thing that it wasn’t a ‘canned ham”? Celebrity chef Paula Deen was helping to deliver more than 25,000 lbs. of protein to Hosea Feed the Hungry in the Atlanta area earlier this week. Although the focus was on giving back, things took a quick turn when Deen got a serving of ham in a rather unique way. While tossing hams and turkeys, a misguided thrown ham hit Deen in the face, but that didn’t sideline her from the topic at hand. Deen is helping promote Smith Field Foods' initiative to help ensure that American families in need do not go hungry. http://www.cbsatlanta.com/news/21699504/detail.html

Update: THE U.S.-FLAGGED CARGO SHIP MAERSK ALABAMA WAS ATTACKED AGAIN TODAY. In April, the Danish-owned ship was attacked in the Indian Ocean. However, this time, CNN reports the container ship fended off the attack by firing back, according to the European Union's anti-piracy force. The EU naval force says pirates fired automatic weapons at the ship as it sailed about 350 nautical miles east of Somalia. According to the U.S. Navy, private security guards aboard the ship fired back and used loud sounds to repel the attack and no casualties were reported. www.cnn.com
An emotional Daniel Clark spoke to the media for the first time yesterday about the shooting last month near the Bojangles on Peters Creek Parkway in Winston-Salem. Clark stated that "I would like to thank God, because I am only here by his grace. Everything I know happens for a reason.” Clark survived a gunshot wound to his neck and fired the shots that killed 35-year-old Monte Evans. Police said Evans shot Clark's partner, Sgt. Mickey Hutchens, outside the Bojangles' restaurant on Peters Creek Parkway on Oct. 7. Clark underwent surgery last Friday to remove the bullet that was lodged in the left side of his neck. Clark plans to return to the force soon. **Winston-Salem Police Chief Scott Cunningham said the internal investigation into the incident could be completed as early as next week.

West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd has become the longest-serving lawmaker in congressional history, a milestone to be marked with a Senate resolution later today. On Tuesday, Senator Byrd's service tied the record set by Carl Hayden, D-Ariz., who served in the House (then the Senate) from 1912 to 1969. "I look forward to serving you for the next 56 years and 320 days," Byrd said in a statement marking the occasion. His only regret, Byrd said, was that his late wife, Erma, was not there with him. Despite fragile health that has kept him from the Senate floor during much of this year, has a nearly 98% attendance record over the course of his career.

THE AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW AND JUSTICE IS ASKING A FEDERAL COURT TO DISMISS A CASE CHALLENGING THE ENGRAVINGS OF THE NATIONAL MOTTO AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AT THE CAPITOL VISITORS CENTER. The A-C-L-J says the court brief represents 41 members of the House of Representatives and three members of the Senate.

MADD or Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, held a banquet for local law enforcement Sunday to thank them for their work in the community. The group says law enforcement is the greatest tool in keeping drunk drivers off the road. Families who lost loved ones to ‘drunk driving’ accidents were remembered as well during the ceremony. North Carolina has been ranked fifth with the most ‘drunk drivers’ on the road in the nation. Craig Lloyd, the Executive Director MADD's in our state, said that the holiday season is the perfect time to honor officers. "Between Thanksgiving and New Year's is the most dangerous time of year. It's typically when we have the most fatalities and injuries as it relates to DWI." www.madd.org/NC

Help support the 1st Amendment and public prayer
A federal magistrate has recommended that prayers referencing Jesus and other sectarian deities made before meetings of the Forsyth County Commissioners are unconstitutional.
What do you think? Email the commissioners in Forsyth County:
http://www.co.forsyth.nc.us/Commissioners/elec_MeetTheBoard.aspx
The decision by Magistrate Judge Trevor Sharp was in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the lawsuit against Forsyth County on behalf of two county residents Janet Joyner and Constance Blackmon.
According to Sharp's ruling, prayers that were used to open the meetings "referred to Jesus, Jesus Christ, Christ, or Savior with overwhelming frequency," and that such prayers "display a preference for Christianity over other religions by the government."
The county was represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, which defended the county at no charge. The recommendation now goes to a federal judge.
