Christian school organizes worldview event

Staff Report

What started out as a small event at the Tulsa campus of Mingo Valley Christian School for its Middle School and High School students in 2004 has turned into a multi-school  conference with over 500 attendees from nine private Christian schools and several area homeschools at the Bartlesville campus of Oklahoma Wesleyan University to be held on November 16, 2012.

Mingo Valley’s student leadership group, The Citadel, is the organizer of the event and has engaged AXiS, an offshoot of Summit Ministries (www.axis.org) to present this year’s program. 

The schedule for the day will include a time of worship, an address from OKWU President, Dr. Everett Piper, followed by three morning sessions, lunch, and three afternoon sessions.

“Teaching a biblical worldview to our next generation of leaders is perhaps one of the most important responsibilities we all share as Christian educators.  Oklahoma Wesleyan is thrilled to stand shoulder to shoulder with our regional Christian high schools in sponsoring Worldview Day for over 500 high school students on our campus this fall!"  Everett Piper, Ph.D., President Oklahoma Wesleyan University

Mingo Valley Christian School is a discipleship school that helps students develop a biblical worldview as they learn to think well and communicate effectively and persuasively.  We serve God in partnership with parents to build faith, knowledge and character in the hearts and minds of our students. Our school provides a family atmosphere where your children feel loved and cared for by Christ-like teachers and staff.  Academic excellence, extracurricular activities, and a focus on spiritual development make Mingo Valley a great school.  To learn more about us, please visit our website at www.mingovalley.org for more

King on Petraeus: ‘Crisis of major proportions’

Politico is reporting Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said Monday the FBI was “derelict in its duty” when it failed to tell the White House immediately after learning about former CIA Director David Petraeus’s affair.

“Once the FBI realized that it was investigating the director of the CIA or the CIA director had come within its focus or its scope, I believe at that time they had an absolute obligation to tell the president,” King said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Not to protect David Petraeus, but to protect the president.”

“The fact is he is a key part of the president’s foreign policy team, maybe more than any other CIA director in recent times,” King added.

“He was going around the world negotiating various understandings and agreements, I’m aware of that. And to have someone out there in such a sensitive position who the FBI thought perhaps could have been compromised or was under the scope of an FBI investigation who may or may not have been having an affair at the time, that to me had to have been brought to the president or certainly to the National Security Council. If not, the FBI was derelict in its duty.”

“This is a crisis, I believe, of major proportions,” King added. “This is not the usual political thing. We’re not talking about the secretary of commerce or some undersecretary somewhere.”

SNL: Obama mocks Republicans

Staff Report

Saturday Night Live’s Barack Obama mocked the Republicans who still couldn’t beat him on Tuesday, despite having a number of factors on their side.

“This election was yours to lose — 8 percent unemployment, five-dollar gas, I even gave you a one-debate head start,” Obama said. “And on top of that, I’m black. But you still couldn’t take me on.”

He vowed that for his second term, “we do it my way.”

“Republicans, you don’t want to talk about immigration reform? OK. The number of older white men in the country is shrinking,” he said. “Meanwhile, a Hispanic gay woman is born every eight seconds.”

House Speaker John Boehner says he “won’t agree to a tax rate increase of any kind?”

“Fine, you want to be unreasonable, come on, let’s be unreasonable. How about I start here: The military? Gone,” Obama said. “If you want to go to war with Iran, you’re going to have to send in Ted Nugent.”
