My pastor taught on forgiveness this past weekend. It was a powerful message that I know hit home with many, myself included.
Toward then end he gave some practical steps to take on forgiving others:
- Acknowledge the hurt
- Identify the offender
- Cancel the debt
Acknowledge the hurt. Feel the hurt. Don't conceal it, feel it. The Bible says: Be angry, but do not sin. That is: exchange bitter anger for controlled anger. (see Ephesian 4:26).
Identify the offender. It's appropriate to create some space and time after the offense, but eventually it's important to identify and confront the person who hurt you. It's so easy to let days upon days pass that then turn into weeks and years. Must have the courage to enter into conflict.
Cancel the debt. We don't like this one. We feel that the perp must pay. There must be punishment worthy of the crime. But I'm finding that to the measure I've experience personal forgiveness from God is the same measure I can forgive others. And through the hurt and tears it actually becomes both easier and satisfying.
It's absolutely stunning that Jesus on the cross would say, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (see Luke 23:34)
It's absolutely stunning that Stephen, as he's being stoned to death, would cry out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." (see Acts 7:58-60)
It's absolutely frustrating to see the act of forgiveness linger in the Christ follower who has been so amazingly forgiven by God. Forgiveness should come swift and strong, right?
It's absolutely necessary to have this identity about us as Christians. It reveals we are truly His children. We should be known as big in the area of forgiveness.
But why? Why should we be so good at forgiving our enemies?
Because our joy is at stake. And His glory. Our motivation to forgive is because we long for His glory and beauty to be manifested.
Charles Spurgeon: "To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven."
A true Christian knows the inexpressible joy of being forgiven by God and out of that joy he will forgive others. The act of forgiving others in a way completes our joy of being forgiven.
Piper puts it this way:
"When we forgive, we're absorbing a debt the same way Jesus did on the cross (to an infinitely less degree). However, for the joy set before Jesus (an eternal relationship with redeemed worshipers), he endured the cross. For the joy set before us (salvation and happy relationships), we endure the loss of any satisfaction we may gain from holding a grudge."
The Sin of Forgetfulness
Why are we horrible at forgiving others?
I love these words from Paul Tripp:
Perhaps a lifestyle of unforgiveness is rooted in the sin of forgetfulness. We forget that there's not a day in our lives that we don't need to be forgiven. We forget that we'll never graduate from our need for grace. We forget that we've been loved with a love we could never earn, achieve, or deserve. We forget that God never mocks our weakness, never finds joy in throwing our failures in our face, never threatens to turn his back on us, and never makes us buy our way back into his favor.
When you remember, when you carry with you a deep appreciation for the grace that you've been given, you'll have a heart that's ready to forgive. That doesn't mean that the process will be comfortable or easy, but it will mean that you can approach your needy friend or relative remembering that you're just as much in need of what you're about to give to him or her.
That's why I'm finding daily prayer and bible reading so important. It's important to daily preach the Gospel to yourself – and to ask for God to bring daily astonishment and renewed appreciation for His mercy and forgiveness.

This Weekend in Sports — Australian Open Finals, NFL Pro Bowl
With Super Bowl XLVIII still more than a week away, other sports invade the TV schedule. Here are the best events to watch this weekend:
With Super Bowl XLVIII still more than a week away, other sports invade the TV schedule. Here are the best events to watch this weekend:
Longtime stable of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Georges "Rush" St-Pierre announced Friday during a conference call that he would be vacating his Welterweight Championship and taking an "indefinite" leave from the sport of mixed martial arts.
Major League Baseball's World Series shifts to St. Louis, and the UFC holds a fight card overseas. Here's what to watch this weekend:
This guy reminds me a lot of that kid from the street you grew up on that realized his team was about to lose in street football so he just picks up his ball and goes home before the game can end with him as the loser
Thailand might just be among the most F'ed up places on the planet. Seriously what good has come from this country?
As if MMA fighters don't have enough to worry about during a fight — fists, elbows, knees and roundhouse kicks from out of nowhere — add Super Glue to the list. During the recent WOCS 25 MMA card in Brazil, fighter Carlos Alberto Lobo had his eyed glued shut by his own corn
Jon Jones bloodied and bruised Chael Sonnen Saturday night and retained his UFC light heavyweight title. Jones beat the trash-talking Sonnen at his own game, repeatedly taking him down and using vicious ground and pound to secure a first-round victory.
In MMA it's important to keep an edge and have your opponent guessing all the time and Chael Sonnen is playing the "I'm a creepy hair fetish guy" approach for the ultimate psych out!
If you are a MMA fighter named "Mainus" and people pronounce it "My Anus" consider changing your name.
Today's top sports stories:
Amateur bouts in Mixed Martial Arts are allowed in the state but profession ones have yet to pass the "moral objections" of our state legislature.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

First, I want to say thanks to everyone on this forum. I started rebuilding in December after deciding that it's time to buy a house. I started wading through my credit reports and found a payday loan that was reporting that the balance was still owed. This was actually garnished from my paycheck in September and October so I knew it had been paid. I called my payroll department just to verify that this was the company that had the garnishment. It was. So, I called the company and spoke to the collections manager. She stated that they had not received a check yet. This was in February. She put me on hold and called the courthouse. They confirmed that they did have the check there. She said she'd go by the next day and pick it up. She would make sure to clear the balance and report it to the CRA. I asked her to make sure that they removed the 120 days late for the last few months because it had been paid. It wasn't my fault that they weren't notified that the check was waiting at the courthouse. She then said that she didn't know about doing all of that. I was rather aggravated at this point and asked her make sure that the balance was updated to 0. Now, the 120 days late is reporting from May 2012 thru January 2013. Since the first part of the garnishment was in September, can it still be reported late? And since it appears that the collections manager isn't going to try to remedy this error, what do I do next?
Sorry it's so long but I appreciate any feedback/suggestions.
I would send them a direct dispute per FCRA 623(a)(8). They have to investigate, make changes and/or corrections and reply to you within 30 days. If they don't they are in violation of the FCRA. Fill in the areas in blue. If it is not going to a collection account you can delete the second paragraph.
"This is a Notice of Direct Dispute with you, under the provisions of FCRA §623(a)(8)(D), of the accuracy of information you have reported to my credit file.
"This is a direct dispute of credit reporting. This is not a request for debt validation/verification under FDCPA §809(b).".

If BO is doing such a great job being "tough on terrorists" why is it all of a sudden there is a concerted and systematic effort by Al Qaeda to perpetrate terrorism in the US. Up until now all we have seen since 9/11 are some pathetic groups of home grown terrorists who get caught before they even pick a target.
In other words the public approach to terror matters. The radicals are now convinced they have a cruise-missile-up-a-camels-butt mentality again in the WH. The fear of retaliation has lessened. And by that I mean boots on the ground if Al Qaeda reconstitutes wherever. (If you don't believe me read a few quotes from Osama)Not standing off and firing missiles out of drones so you don't have to deal with casualties that are anathema to the peaceniks in your party.
Taking 3 months to decide on sending more troops to Afghanistan while Brits and Americans died for lack of support and morale plummeted is not my idea of a decisive and tough leader. So far BO resembles Jimmy Carter more than Harry Truman.
Granted I have never been a supporter of President Obama (my suspicions of his naivety and dishonesty have been proved correct numerous times now) it's still reasonably fair to put much of the blame on this on his administration. First, Napolitano is his choice and she is obviously out of her depth. In addition she is seemingly spending more time looking at bizarre sources of terrorist threats than these Muslim criminals.
Second, although his dithering on the Afghanistan troop levels was more to do with allying his base of donors, to the Muslim terrorists the US look undecided and weak. Success has many fathers and if it looks like the US is not in for the fight more and more will be emboldened.
Guantanamo is a vexed issue and only goes to demonstrate that President Bush was right. He wanted to close it down, but didn't want terrorists let loose on American soil (they can't deport a person to a country where they will likely be tortured). For all the nonsensical vitriol at the time President Obama has not done anything different.
President Obama doesn't seem to understand the threat. There are a group of people who follow a particular faith that says "slay them wherever you find them" (sura 2:190) and no matter how many Islamic and non-Islamic apologists there are (and very decent Muslims) there is a group who use these (and many other suras) as the unerring word of their god and therefore their duty to wage Jihad.
Unless President Obama gets over his naivety and understands the issues (given he must care about this issue and so clearly does not understand) the West will be at risk of criminal attacks.
Of course, the hero here is the criminal's father who did the right thing and reported his concerns to the authorities. He deserves much credit for this.
Ah, don't we all love 20-20 hindsight! Then it's easy to "connect the dots". But let's see any of the critics make sense of a database of 550,000 people with "alleged ties" to terrorists. Quick - with a few days lead-time, track down the "Nigerian" referenced in Yemen (even tho he snuck into Nigeria) in time to stop him! Spend hundreds of millions of dollars on new screening devices that will also require longer delays in the airport (can we please pay for it with new taxes? No???). And then "blur" the images around the crotch to avoid problems of "privacy" and NOW try to spot the explosive that are hidden in the crotch. And then tell people they have to sit the last hour of a flight without even a book to read. That's definitely going to be a big help to our security!
CarmeninCali, you're bordering on lunacy. If terrorists ought to be apprehended based on their ideas and wishes, that is before they hurt anyone, then YOU ought to be arrested. You sound just like an Al Qaida convert without the references to Allah.
Those asking for passenger profiling should explain to us how this would have helped to stop a clean shaven Richard Ried or Paul Walker or Timothy McVeigh from boarding.
Also to the person who said "I also wonder what would happen if countries unilaterally cut off air travel, telecommunications and movement of citizens of countries who have spawned a terrorist."
Does this mean countries would unilaterally cut off British and American citizens? Please, THINK BEFORE YOU WRITE, tis not an "us" (West) against "them" (Non-western) war but one of ideology. Most governments of states (that are not failed states) are fighting against terrorists and a concerted effort and NOT prejudicial mudslinging is the best chance of eliminating errors.
why is america always in the defensive mode?; after a terrorist attack or attempted attack, america tortures the american people; taking off shoes prio to boarding taking away drinks, soon lowering underpants, and above all torturing all by the action of one terrorst.
it's time for counter-attack against terrorists; perhaps muslim mercinaries may do it. an incentive of dollars for every terrorist head, a week paid vacation to mecca, and a supply of earthly virgin whores as reward. Also captured terrorist extended family and mosque maybe cleased or uprooted.
it takes a muslim to defeat a muslim terrorist, by far the only kind in the market place of terror. it takes terror to stop terrorism not defensive anti-terrorism measures.
Step One: Pack explosives into underpants.
Step Two:
Step Three: Paradise.
Step Four: In paradise meet 80 virgins and then can't do anything because of the explosives in my underpants :)
Step Five: Start blowing things in paradise!
As soon as I heard about this I thought: "Christ, what stupid thing is the TSA going to make me do next time?" I'm supposed to go to L.A. in ten days. I figure I'll just show up at the airport naked carrying a vial of Propofol so that I can knock myself out before the colonoscopy. I can't tell the TSA to go to hell and just get in my car (which I now do if the destination is anywhere within a 16 hour drive).
Honestly, I think the TSA is primarily concerned with the appearance of safety rather than safety itself. Equally aggravating is that somebody in Congress is putting his idealogy in front of national security. Anyone wonder why there is currently no TSA chief? Just ask Senator Jim DeMint. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/12/29/demint-defends-blocking-...
Yes, increased airport security is not the solution to terrorism. By its nature, a terrorist attack is unforeseeable, and thereby unpreventable. Implementing safety measures in airports may make the passenger feel safer, but rest assured that these fanatics will take advantage of our diverted attention to target their attacks in other areas with the same atrocious consequences. More focus should be awarded to the causes of terrorism instead of (or at least alongside with) its expression.
I digress. I hope the Economist would kindly allow this post to remain up although it does not support Obama's campaign.
As a Republican American citizen (taxpaying, non-politician), I was misquoted and I would like to speak up for myself. I did not say that Obama was "soft on terrorism". No no no!
After 13 innocent civilians and an unborn child died at Ft. Hood by Hasan, both Obama and Napalitano proceeded to call the GOP "extremists".
Napalitano was a bad, bad fit for that position. The DHS MISSED WARNING SIGNS!!! INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE AT RISK! And of course innocent people are going to be interrogated and profiled because the DHS missed the obvious warning signs. Even if the terrorist happened to be Caucasian, these warning signs should have sounded off sirens. Since the terrorist this time was an African, it's understandable that African Americans (with better intentions) would not want to be profiled.
If the DHS did it's job, there should be no talk about profiling. It's too obvious that Obama doesn't take that position seriously.
We republicans believe in the 2nd Amendment, and under that we believe that people kill people. Guns cannot kill people. So with that mindset, that's how we view Israel.
Since Al Qaeada is using the Israel thing as a reason to attack us in the first place...
Speaking of which, since the British Parliament declared Israel a state, why is the U.S. being scapegoated? The U.S. successfully reunited Germany, revived the Japanese economy after WWII, consumed from the world, and if North Korea ends up with a sane, life respecting, diplomatic leader...we have high hopes of reuniting that country as well.
The U.S. did a fine job as the "world police". From the looks of Israel and Palestine, and the rest of the Muslim world it looks like the U.N. leaves a lot to be desired.
So again, America did not deserve these attacks- and the terrorists should not be apologized for in order to protect Obama. If he is infact a Muslim, that's his personal business. However it should not interfere with the safety of innocent Americans, and Obama would do well by putting his big boy pants on. If he's not with America's interests, he's against us. We're in war.
Great, let's start a trillion dollar preemptive war against Yemen now.
Seriously I'm more concerned about wild geese striking my plane (US Air 1549), equipment failure (Air France 447), or a rainy runway (American 331 in Jamaica) than a possible terrorist attack when I travel by air. The chance of dying in a car accident is much higher than that of being killed by a terrorist in an airplane. Consider the probability and reassess the threat for what it really is: miniscule. All this brouhaha over a remote 0.00000001% hypothetical. Gentlemen try to keep your wits about you.
To Vinny L. on the accomplice in Yemen. Thank you for the links.
If they let someone get on an international flight without a passport, now, I'm not sure I'd feel too safe!
Interesting that Fox caught that aspect of the story, yes; but why does the anchor lead the interviewee
so much that the subject of the interview must feel himself to be his own fact-checker, saying, "Well this is pure speculation!"? Not every subject will do that by any means. The anchor sensationalizes the story as much as he possibly can, I imagine to keep eyeballs for ratings.
This is yet another example of the oBUMa administration continuing Bush policy of false preemptive strikes of oil rich countries.
Are the American people dumb enough to not ask questions after our government and media lied to us about Saddam having Al Qaeda link, and lied to us about him having WMD's ???
Unfortunately, this incident will be used to justify the continued erosion of our rights, and the killing of women and children in Yemen currently being carried out by Obama, the US backed Yemen dictatorship, and the US backed Saudi dictatorship.
All of this has nothing to do with defeating Al Qaeda and everything to do with banksters and Corporations establishing hegemony in Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East and getting control over oil/gas pipelines and sea/ocean routes.
Yemen has huge oil reserves and located on a crossroad of the Gulf of Aden, and the Red Sea. You can get to the Suez Canal through that path. Somalia is right across from from Yemen.
The BushObama "war on terror" and "Al Qaeda" in Yemen is really just a war on "the Southern Movement," a group who wants to secede from the dictatorship to the north, and the "Houthi tribe," who practice a different kind of Shiite Islam from Iran, but are constantly being accused of being backed and aided by Iran. I read somewhere that Saudi jets were using biological weapons against the Houthi in northern Yemen because the Saudi's don't want them coming over the border.
Obama's handlers associate all of these different opposition groups in Yemen with Al Qaeda, despite the fact that Al Qaeda are "supposedly" Sunni's who don't like Shiites such as the Houthis. All of this is just a clear sign that Obama is expanding the war in Pakistan and Afghanistan to Yemen and Somalia.
The US air raid in Yemen the other week was on the same day that Obama allegedly killed 17 people after ordering drone attacks on North Waziristan, Pakistan. All of this going along with the thirty thousand xtra troops Obama sent to Afghanistan, shows that Obama and his puppet 'massas' are carrying out a policy of military aggression and colonialism on a scale even greater than Bush. All of this while collecting a Nobel Peace Prize! Lol...
All the partisan sniping and bitching that's now occuring here in the United States will overlook the most important issues: first, that a Nigerian man who was placed on a watchlist after his own father turned him in to the CIA at the US Embassy in Lagos was issued an entry visa IN HIS OWN NAME and was thus able to get on a US-bound flight. Second is that once again, passengers will be further inconvenienced and possibly humuliated to compensate for the ineptitude and arrogance of America's security apparatus.
Janet Napolitano has proven to be at best underwhelming in her position: it's no surprise that as governor fo Arizona she allowed Joe Arpiao to run amock in Phoenix. American need to demand either competence and results from Homeland SUCKerity or its merciful end.
Once again the Economist comes to the defense of Barak Obama. "Many Republicans already argue that Mr Obama is soft on terrorism… It is difficult, though, for Mr Obama's opponents to make a persuasive case so soon after he decided to send an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. On his watch American drones and special forces have been busier than ever, not only in Afghanistan and Pakistan but also, it is reported, in Somalia and Yemen." Still smarting over that endorsement eh?
There are two types of stupid people; first, those that were not gifted with strong intelligence and then those that are so arrogant they act stupidly. One can only imagine the interview between Obama and Napolitano when she became the head of homeland security as they condescended together in their disgust for Bush's "War on Terror". A person who sees the world the way I do let's put her in charge of Homeland Security. Experience? Who needs experience when the intelligentsia know that Bush created this war and it is really just a criminal problem. She'll be fine.
The same War on Terror that didn't make us safer and actually intensified the jihadist's recruitment and terror against the US. We will not govern through fear we are liberals who will show the jihadists that we are better than they. We will offer an open hand to Iran, we will set timetables when we copy the Bush surge in Afghanistan, we will close Guantanamo (how's that working for you Barack). We won't even call a terrorist act what it is but rather a "man caused disaster".
At least the Commander in Chief Nobel Peace prize winner (if that isn't an oxymoron what is) didn't make a complete fool of himself like he did after the last terror, excuse me "man caused disaster", when he got up to the microphone after the slaughter at Fort Hood and "Gave a shout out to Chief Medicine Joe" commending him on winning the Congressional Medal of Honor which he never received. Someone had to pull our Commander in Chief aside afterwards and explain that only war heroes get the Medal of Honor and usually posthumously. Many were expecting the president to speak of the horror that had just occurred at Fort Hood but he had much lighter things to talk about shouting out to Chief Medicine Joe.
It only took him two times this time around to get the tone right after his buffoon Janet claimed everything worked swimmingly. The Fort Hood slaughter wasn't the act of a terrorist and didn't deserve the attention it needed. Oh wait we are now finding out that this terrorist from Nigeria was getting his direction and inspiration from the same Iman that the murderer at Ft. Hood did. Do you think a more intensive investigation after that incident may have uncovered this one before it occurred? Are we now going to give the Ft. Hood incident, the NW Airlines over Detroit incident and all terrorist incidents from now on the status of serious events? All we're asking is give it the same importance you've given global warming.
We can all sleep much more soundly now, Barack has demanded a report on his desk by tomorrow.
Step 5: All these virgins and I just blew my Willie into hamburger. Good thinking!!
I agree with PSH. How much is our "safety" and "fear" all up in our heads? As Vanity Fair columnist Michael Wolff asked this morning: "Who are these 4,000 people on the no-fly list," anyway? See here: http://bit.ly/7rWpEp
I was thinking of showing up to my next flight in just a Speedo but apparently that wont suffice. This will not stop until we address the real reason these people hate the US. Have you noticed how the media doesn't even make any mention of what the terrorists beef with the US is anymore. This concerted effort to keep Americans in a state of ignorance does us all a great disservice, bordering on treasonous. I am amazed when I hear people state that al-Qaeda hates us because they are jealous of, but at the same time appalled by our lifestyle. The American people need to tell Joe Lieberman and all their congressmen that the only sensible pre-emptive act is to stop supporting Israel.
The bombing attempt shows two things: it is difficult to recruit people for suicide missions that can enter the United States and the bomb making intelligence of the perpetrators is limited. With little effort the explosive, once on board, could have been manipulated to become much more effective. Sending a young isolated person to his death is causing a lot of stress and this explains the stupidity with which this attack has been carried out. Apparently no more people were available to assist in the attack. It will take a few years before another person has been recruited, and we may only hope that he is as succesful as this one. After the fact everyone knows which signals have not been picked up properly, but any system that would act on suspicions would soon result in harassment of thousands of innocent people. People that advocate taking no risks, as some commentors seem to do, should realize that one anonymous letter can produce a lot of trouble for completely innocent people. Considering how many suicide attacks have been carried out in various Islamic countries there is no lack of potential terrorists, but given the low number of attacks on easy high profile targets in the western world, I interpret this as a sign of weakness of Al Quaeda and its allies. The major danger is coming from within our societies -for every million or so opponents of the way the war on terror is fought, there will be one person who is willing to put his or her life at risk. There is little protection against insiders and a technological savvy one can produce a lot of damage. It is easy to cry 'incompetence' relating to politicians and civil servants, but nobody has come up with systems to screen terrorists out with 100% sensitivity and no false signals. Given the enormous number of passengers any increase in airport security will self defeat. We have to accept that we live in a society where we are at risk to be murdered, die in car accidents, get struck by lightning or a tsunami. We should however not accept that governments act on flimsy suspicions, ask us to enter airplanes naked and take many hours of our life in name of a security that is beyond our reach.

Haunted Theme Park Goes Mobile Interactive
SOURCE ShocktoberfestREADING, Pa., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Shocktoberfest, Pennsylvania's Premier Haunted Theme Park announces Wednesday their new Text2Scream(TM) attractions for the 2007 Halloween season.
Patrick Konopelski, Executive Producer of Shocktoberfest says, "The Text2Scream(TM) program is fantastic because it engages our customers in a way never done before in the entertainment industry. It puts control in the hands of our customers."
Park visitors can interact with animated props in scare zones found throughout the park via their mobile phones and devices. The scare zones are set up where customers least expect them and are designed so that once you've been scared, you can join in on the fun and scare another unsuspecting soul.
"There's definitely an aspect of voyeurism here," says Konopelski, referring to the power that the customers hold in their hands, adding, "to give a customer the ability to scare the wits out of someone else through their cell phone is almost magical."
The Text2Scream(TM) system is powered by INCLIQ Media's proprietary mobile technology platform. The system goes beyond mere text messaging by providing the end user with a rich graphical user interface, and it integrates with the computer systems running the Shocktoberfest attractions. In addition to the scare zones, Shocktoberfest is leveraging the technology to power the video screens in their brand new attraction - Club Shock, a haunted night club. Customers can send chat messages to the screens as well as request songs from the DJ and play group-based interactive games. Because the system is not based on standard 160-character SMS text messages, there is no text messaging cost to the end-user and the experience is much more engaging.
About Shocktoberfest The 2007 season will mark their 13th year of operation. Shocktoberfest was ranked the #6 top haunted attraction in the country for 2006 by HauntWorld magazine. The attractions feature Hollywood-style computer-controlled special effects, and professional actors and set design. Attractions include: The BioHazard Hayride, The Prison of the Dead, The Toxic Asylum 3D Extreme, The Monster Midway, and new for 2007: Club Shock. For more information on Shocktoberfest and to schedule a private behind- the-screams tour, visit online at http://www.shocktoberfest.com/press
About INCLIQ Media INCLIQ provides unique and creative mobile-based marketing solutions. Their software platform allows customers to quickly implement and roll out interactive mobile campaigns. INCLIQ is based in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — State Sen. Dave Thompson is joining the growing list of Republicans who plan to run for governor next year.
Thompson tells The Associated Press he plans to file as a candidate Monday and launch his campaign Wednesday. He has represented Lakeville in the state Senate since 2011.
Thompson is an attorney and former talk radio host. He is a favorite of fiscal conservative and tea party activists.
Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson and businessman Scott Honour are also running to challenge Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.
Former House Speaker Kurt Zellers is holding an event later Sunday to talk about his plans.
