Jettison; but what
15 CommentsJanuary 20, 2009- President Barack Obama made some startling picturesque remarks in his inaugurate speech.
“For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.”
From inaugurate prayer ’09
20 Commentsof Rev. Joseph Lowery, an 87 year old civil rights pioneer:
Rev. ended his prayer with, “Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around – when yellow will be mellow – when the red man can get ahead, man – and when white will embrace what is right.”
What does this mean?

Inauguration Prayer
9 CommentsAlmighty God, creator and sustainer of all things, we praise you and honor your name.
We thank you that you have allowed us to live in a nation of peaceable government. That we have a quiet change of officers. We ask you for the continuance of this process.
As we change officials of the nation, we ask you to continually bless President Bush, his wife, Laura, and family as they humbly step aside and return to citizen life. We ask for their health, of soul and body as they transition to another phase of life.
We pray for President-elect Obama, his wife and children as they step into new roles. we pray for their protection from evil in all forms.

President Obama or Clinton?
30 CommentsI am a doubter when it comes to politicians’ words! But, I feel as a Christian that it is my responsibility to pray for our leaders. It is very difficulty for me to do this when I don’t see or hear much happen from their words. The economy of the American people is in a crisis situation when it comes to the average person but not when it comes to Michelle Obama or her family’s clothes, or lifestyle. I guess it is not stylish for our President and his family to model the lifestyle that one should live when it comes to the economy. And, on the President Elect, Barack, I read more about “will he have to give up his Blackberry or not than how he is going to live out his great promises to the American people?” His big change seems to be that he has been reincarnated as former President Bill Clinton.
Together, As One

Are we seeing?
11 Comments“I don’t know whether he is a sinner,” the man replied. “But I know this: I was blind, and now I can see!” (John 9:25).
Jesus healed a blind man and the religious crowd got all upset. They started arguing over why he was healed, and how he was healed, and who was to blame for him being blind in the first place. The man said, “I can’t answer all of your questions. but I can tell you this; I was blind, but now I see.”
When I speak with the ‘religious crowd’ today about this past Presidential Election I feel just this way. “I can’t answer all your questions, but I can tell you this, I was blind, but now I can see.” I wrote a song some time ago that has a lot of meaning to me, “WaitingRoom” and the chorus says, “as I wait, I see His Face shining as a Glory of Grace.” Another part “I can see, I can see, in the world as I go for His Light has broken forth in my soul!” Can you see and hear today what the Spirit is saying?
Pause to Think
13 CommentsSome points we might want to remember with the coming election.
- God raises up one and puts down another.
- The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord, He bends it however he wills.
- Pray for those in authority over you.
May be we need to remember that the president or leader of any country is a man or a woman, a human being. They are given position by God and are under his authority. And we may need to remember that a nation receives the leader they deserve.

Who do you say that I Am
9 CommentsMatthew 16:13 “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?” Do I know who He is? Do you?
I have great respect for Our Nation, The USA, and its electoral voting system regardless of human error and deception by and of evil. I respect all peoples be it Democrat-Obama-Biden or Republican-McCain-Palin, race, gender and/or age I plan to vote and of course would like to see my choice between the two win, But, without a doubt, I will honor ‘Our President’, be it President McCain or President Obama. I will be proud of and honor our nation. I will salute our flag with honor and sing “America The Beautiful.”
Yet, my total focus is and will be on the One that everybody ought to know. All Nations, all peoples, all races, young and old, should know Him, I think. Now who is He? Will He get your vote?
