You did the right thing. We all need to contribute to the fight. It's just that sometimes I wonder if the NRA is really putting my dues to good use. It seems their primary business is fundraising and they do it very well.

I just received a gift of $40 for my birthday. My NRA membership has lapsed so I think I'm going to use the gift money to join the GOA for a year and see how it goes.


But now, this is what the LORD says-
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze
