Fwd: The Surprising Truth About Mike Pence (2)
After Trump Is Elected; The Surprising Truth About Mike Pence Is ExposedIt’s fair to say that until recently, most Americans had never heard of “Mike Pence.” But ironically, this relatively unknown man will soon take the second-highest office in the country. Today he’s mostly known for being President-Elect Donald Trump’s sidekick, but truth be told, there’s a side of Mike Pence that many haven’t see. When I learned more about Mike Pence, my respect and admiration for America’s Vice President-Elect only grew all the more.

Michael Richard “Mike” Pence was born on June 7, 1959, in Columbus,
Indiana. Pence was the youngest of six children born to devout Catholic
churchgoers, Nancy Jane and Edward J. Pence, Jr. His father was a U.S. Army
veteran who earned a humble living by operating a gas station.

that his parents were never politically inclined. But unlike his family,
heroes such as John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. caught young
Pence’s attention and inspired him to get involved in politics.
*Pence* *revealed
<http://www.lifenews.com/
“I grew up on the front row of the American dream. My grandfather
immigrated to this country, and I was raised in a small town in Southern
Indiana in a big family with a cornfield in the backyard. Although we
weren’t really a political family, the heroes of my youth were President
John F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”*
*The young Pence soon discovered his voice and even entered an oratorical
contest in the fifth grade.*
*“It shouldn’t have come as a surprise,”* *said
<http://www.therepublic.com/
*Nancy. “He was always talking. What surprised me was how well he could
talk in front of large crowds. I believe it was sponsored by the Optimist
Club, and Mike was competing against kids in the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades,” his mother said. “When it came his turn, his voice just boomed out
over the audience. He just blew everybody away. I had a hard time
associating the boy up there speaking with our son.”*

Pence graduated from Columbus North High School in 1977 and went on to
study history at Hanover College. Throughout his childhood, Pence always
clung to his faith and had even considered becoming a priest. But in
college, his faith wavered and he eventually decided to turn his back on
God.
*“I went off to college and had largely walked away from the faith that I
was raised to believe in,”* *Pence*

at First Baptist Jacksonville in Florida*

The handsome young man had given up on religion, but that didn’t stop God’s
powerful plan for his life. And it wasn’t long before Pence was surrounded
by devout Christians who reminded him of the faith he once clung to.
*Pence* *shared
<http://www.washingtontimes.
“When I got to college, I met a group of folks in a non-denominational
Christian fellow group.”*

Pence *recalled*
<http://www.washingtontimes.
the life-changing day he told his fraternity “big brother” that he’d love
to get a Christian cross like the one he wore. His friend’s unexpected
response left such a powerful impression, Pence would recall it decades
later on the floor of Congress.
*“Remember, Mike, you have got to wear it in your heart before you wear it
around your neck,” Mr. Pence said his fraternity brother told him.*
His friend’s convicting message resonated with Pence and months later, he
found himself at a Christian music festival. It was there that Pence was
again was reminded of the Gospel and all that “Jesus had done” for him.
That sermon finally led Pence to take action.
*“My heart broke with gratitude and I gave my life to Jesus Christ,”* *he*
<http://www.washingtontimes.
*said.*

Pence went on to earn a bachelor of arts degree in history from Hanover
College in 1981, and a law degree from the Robert H. McKinney School of Law
in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1986. But for Pence, rededicating his life to
Jesus Christ wasn’t the only blessing that came out of college.
Soon after making the decision to follow Christ, a young musician at church
by the name of Karen caught young Pence’s attention.
After service one Sunday, Pence approached Karen and discovered that he
went to law school with her sister. A few days later, Pence went to the
registrar to look up Karen’s sister to get “the scoop” on the pretty
guitarist. At first, the registrar refused. But when Pence explained why he
wanted the number, the registrar gave in.

Mike called the phone number for Karen’s sister — but to his complete
shock, Karen answered instead. Pence was so surprised, he accidentally hung
up on her. Pence took a few moments to collect himself and redialed —
eventually inviting Karen out to dinner.
Their adorable first date included ice skating and family, and a “bet” that
the pair would eventually get married.
[image: mike-and-karen-indy-500]
That night, Karen’s 10-year-old niece bet Pence $1 that he would marry her
aunt.

That little girl eventually won the bet. And the registrar who made it all
possible attended their wedding on June 8, 1985.

This year, Mike and Karen celebrated 31 years of wedded bliss — and as
their new role in America approaches, the Pence family remains a united
front.
*“We’ve always been a team,” Karen* *said
<http://www.indystar.com/
“We’ve always approached it [politics] as a team.”*
*The future vice president chimed in, “She’s the best part of my life,
everything we do in public life, we do together. I can’t imagine it any
other way.”*

But Mike Pence is not only a devoted husband, but he’s a proud father as
well.
[image: fathers-day]
Mr. and Mrs. Pence have three children together: Charlotte, Michael, and
Audrey.
[image: pence]
Throughout his political campaign, the Pence family has shown their true
colors. The three children have been incredibly supportive of their dad’s
campaign — traveling with him, making calls, and praying for him every day.
Mike Pence is a proud supporter of our troops. Especially due to the fact
that his eldest, Michael J. Pence is a Marine Corps officer.

Pence’s eldest daughter, Charlotte is a filmmaker and a writer. According
to her *website,* <http://charlotterosepence.
directed a documentary called “For the Records,” which highlights the
struggle of mental illness. She was also associate producer and co-writer
of “Fleeced,” which won *nine*
<http://heavy.com/news/2016/
regional Emmy awards.

The youngest of the Pence family, Audrey Pence, is a social liberal. She’s
independent politically and has voted split ticket in elections. But
despite the fact that they don’t share the same views, her dad has been
proud of her for thinking independently — and she voted for him in the
Indiana governor election.
*Audrey* *revealed
<http://heavy.com/news/2016/
“Probably the person I get the most respect from is my dad. He has always…
he tells me so many times, ‘I am proud of you for having your own opinions
and looking into things.'”*
[image: pence-family-photo]
But even more important than being a family man, Mike Pence considers his
faith in Jesus Christ the most crucial aspect of his life.
*Pence shared,“I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican. In that
order.” And added that his “Christian faith is at the very heart
<http://religionandpolitics.
*of who” he is. Pence* *continued
<http://www.ibj.com/articles/
“I made a commitment to Christ. I’m a born-again, evangelical Catholic.”*

Politics may be new arena for Donald Trump, but Pence — a former six-term
congressman — is well aware of the liberal backlash that comes when you
take a stand for unborn lives, Israel, and the Second Amendment.
*The liberal media’s response to Pence’s election has been nothing short of
horrific. Countless headlines mock, name-call, and repeatedly insult the
former Indiana Governor and his family. But despite it all, Mike Pence
remains steadfast, unshakable, and firm in his stances.*
*“One thing you can say about Mike Pence is he’s got a very calm, steady
demeanor that in some ways is a little Reagan-esque,”* *said
<http://www.ibj.com/articles/
*Christine Mathews, a Republican pollster for former Indiana Gov. Mitch
Daniels. “He’s a counterbalance to Trump in that way.”*

Time and time again throughout this election, the former lawyer has
encouraged Americans to respond to hatred with love — and make prayer a
priority.
*Pence* *shared
<http://qpolitical.com/mike-
“I would encourage you, if you are inclined to do as the Pence family does
from time to time, to bow the head and bend the knee. Pray that America
will once again stand tall, stand strong. ‘[Prayer is] the last best hope
of earth,’ that’s what Abraham Lincoln called it. It’s still true.”*
As countless Americans find themselves in the midst of riots, hatred, hurt,
and anger, Pence reminds Americans to use the most powerful weapon in their
possession: prayer.
*“So, I encourage you. Remember, what’s been true for thousands of years is
still true today. That if His people who are called by His name will humble
themselves and pray, He will hear from heaven, and He – as He’s always done
before – He will heal our land. One nation, under God, indivisible with
liberty and justice for all.” – Mike Pence*
Praise God for our new Vice President-Elect Mike Pence! America needs more
men like him! Please keep Pence and President-Elect Donald Trump in your
prayers throughout this crucial time as they make their way to the White
House.
May God Bless our new Leaders. And May God Bless America! Please share if

*“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray
and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2
Chronicles 7:14*
Praise God for our new Vice President-Elect Mike Pence! America needs more
men like him! Please keep Pence and President-Elect Donald Trump in your

Right on schedule. A big helping of Gish Gallop to try and endear Mike Pence to the rubes. Gag.
Mike Pence's positions make it clear that he hates both women and gays. In other words, he hates most of the population.
Also, if you're going to claim that prayer is a "powerful weapon," then you'd best provide a citation.
Talk to the good citizens in Indiana about the kind of job that Pence did as governor. I hear tell that they're spending a lot of time fixing what he messed up. Plus forcing women who have miscarriages and terminations to have a funeral and burial for their fetuses is just beyond the pale.
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/07/trumps-vp-pick-passed-law-requiring-funerals-aborted-fetuses
Pence is the main reason why I'd prefer - as ick-worthy as it is - to have Trump at the helm. Talk about the evil of two lessers.
For a good Christian boy, Mike Pence has no trouble breaking the commandment against bearing false witness:
http://www.politifact.com/personalities/mike-pence/statements/byruling/false/
But I've noticed most Convangelicals seem to think telling lies is fine as long as they're lying for the "Right" reasons.
So ferschitz is A-Ok with the federal gubmint forcing its uninsured citizens to purchase government subsidized health insurance (which in my book is not exactly Constitutional that gubmint should make such mandates on its citizens)...yet, since you're an atheist, and dang proud of it, you find it "beyond the pale" to mandate to give aborted fetuses a proper and dignified burial. Dude, we are ALL human beings with consciences and souls, unlike animals running around the jungle with no souls or consciences, hence it is a really, really perverted and sick mind that you have.
Good thing you don't run for any kinda public office....sicko.
BTW - Pence did a much better job as Gov. of Indiana than Howdy Doody Tim Kaine did as Gov. of Virginia. Just look at the unemployment numbers when both took over the governorships in their respective states and when they left. Also, look at the jobs created statistics.
@delagar: That would be VP Mike Pence to you, smart ass fag delagar. Imagine a homosexual calling the VP of his country "a Christian boy". Show some respect you dick sucking fat ass.
