May 26 Report
By Brenda Spurlock
Mercy and Judgment have a new associate team member, Buster the horse. Animals and humans are enjoying a brief R&R at the home of Buster's owners, the Vardin's. They're about seven miles outside of Wichita. When I called, everyone was waiting for the arrival of Liz and the Thomas children. The Thomas family will be staying at OSA House which is just a couple of blocks from Tiller's abortion mill.
There has been more fallout over the team's visit with elementary students at the Hutchinson park. Flip said a news crew looked them up the same evening following their park visit. They had a very cordial interview and Flip told them the course of events at the park. Flip said the only thing he said that was included in the actual news report was his statement, "When Christians come out of the closet it's Christ or Chaos." Flip said, "Instead of bringing out the real issue, that we were stopped from telling the children about Christ, the news report said we bashed Catholics and harassed downtown business owners." Flip said, "We didn't talk to anyone at businesses." He said at the park a Catholic lady told them to stop spreading lies and Rusty told her, "Catholicism, Protestantism, or education won't save you, only Jesus will save you." He said, "So that was considered Catholic bashing." He said, "There’s really nothing that we can do about this [unfair treatment by the media]." The real offense, according to Flip, is the "J" word.
Flip received a call from the Hutchinson elementary school principal whose students were at the park. The principal asked him about the day's events. Flip told him all that had happened. He said, "I reminded him that they arrested me, handcuffed me, but let me go because they knew there was nothing they could legally hold me for." He accepted what Flip said and told him he didn't expect that there had been any harassment or bashing. It turns out that he knows something about Operation Save America, our stand and our leadership because he stood with us in Atlanta! Praise God for the discernment and acceptance of our brothers and sisters in Christ!
