    “Faith is not so much something we believe; faith is something we live.”
    ― Joseph B. Wirthlin

    I have been in a lull lately... unable to do my duty here.... and yes I consider these posts a duty. It is time to rededicate myself....

    Dear Lord... Tonight we ask for Strength and Courage. And Wisdom and Insight... We all have a duty to do... To You..To those we love... To our Constitution... and to ourselves. Give us a Great Determination to never surrender..never give up... Let Us stand for Goodness and Righteousness every minute of our lives... Lead us down the Path you choose... Bless our new President and Protect him... Amen


    The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers. William Lloyd Garrison

    Amen!

    And Lord, I pray for our leaders today. You have given us a good man who seems to want to set things aright, a man of faith who may not talk about it a lot, but who does the hard things so that many might benefit. Be with him, I pray, and lead, guide and direct him and his appointed helpers and managers. Give them the knowledge and insight and determination to change all that needs to be changed, and the words and inspiration to inspire the nation's people to turn once again to Thee. Without you, nothing is possible. With you, all things are possible. You are what this nation needs, and needs so very badly now! Praised be your Holy name forever, and grant us this great blessing, I pray. In thy Holy name I pray. Amen.

    ..and also pray that people might hold their leaders to the standards of righteousness outlined in the bible. Urge our leaders to value their neighbors and mothers more than wealth and fame. Hope our leaders don't brag about their material wealth on earth, and instead use their time to strive for a heavenly kingdom. The meek shall inherit the earth. Insist that our leaders don't engage in sexual perversion and mock those who might not be as fortunate as themselves.

    I pray that people be on the lookout for Antichrist--someone who might be able to cleverly fool the masses with a quick tongue, but really represents everything evil the bible warns us about.

    This I pray

    Dear Lord... Raise us up to be what You intend for man to be. Let us practice all the virtues and discard all the vices. Let us, with strength and power, seek after sweet Love and Mercy. Please Heal our Bodies, Minds, and Souls. Let our Faith grow and be our backbone in this world... Amen

    Dear Lord... We are only here a little time and then "pass thru life to eternity.' Let us use this time to seek answers and truth. Let us use this time to seek and spread love. Let us use this time to be better in every way. Guide and Protect us and our new President... Amen

    With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. Abraham Lincoln

    I 'seen' an old friend yesterday. Larry was killed in a house fire in 2006 and I stopped to say 'hi'. Yes. I know he is not there but i said 'hi' just the same.... His simple tombstone had his name and US Navy- Vietnam....

    Dear Lord... Thank You for all the Good we have all had... Let us appreciate the Good People, the Good Dogs, and the Good Things we have and have had. Help us to remember to Give Thanks... Bless us and our New President. Amen

    There is a simple theory that you find what you look for. If you want a wild time and want to run with a fast crowd...you'll find it. If you want to be with calm ,good people, you'll find that also. What are you looking for? Do you seek answers to age old questions? Do you want someone just to brag on you and make you feel worthy? Be careful of what you seek.....

    Dear Lord... We Thank You for the steady compass in our travels. We Thank You for not being blown by the wind here and there.....

    We are all on a journey and go many places to learn of You ,Life, and Ourselves... We ask that we may be Good Students and learn our Lessons Happily... Please Bless Us and our New President... Amen

    “Holmes and Watson are on a camping trip. In the middle of the night Holmes wakes up and gives Dr. Watson a nudge. "Watson" he says, "look up in the sky and tell me what you see."

    "I see millions of stars, Holmes," says Watson.

    "And what do you conclude from that, Watson?"

    Watson thinks for a moment. "Well," he says, "astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meterologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I see that God is all-powerful, and we are small and insignficant. Uh, what does it tell you, Holmes?"

    A ship in a storm without a rudder is doomed. It can't go where it wishes even in fair weather. Men are the very same. Before the storm, get your moral rudder in top shape.....

    Dear Lord...Please help us all believe what is Right and Good. Let us, without thinking, know what to do and how to respond in any storm. Please bless Us and our New president... Amen

    Amen! So simple, and yet, so very, very vital to all that we are and do, and what our world is to become! It's so easy, and yet .... we fail so often to do the EASY things. What a wonderful Lord we serve! How could we NOT want to do all the little things He has given us to do? They add up, and in large part, determine what kind of world we will be living in. What could be more just?

    While I pray for our nation daily, and for wisdom for our leaders, I do not presume to tell God what to do. He has thousands of years of experience managing human governments. I know not His plans nor His timing, so I pray that His will be done through flawed and fallible human agencies. I am available to Him daily, and He knows it. That's all I can manage.

    Lord, I pray today for our leaders of this country. Give them the words and sentiments we need to hear, that we as a nation might return to Thee, and fulfill our destiny as I believe you originally intended for us. Help us to not continue to become drunk on all the excesses our modern world has wrought for us to benefit from, and we in turn have turned into unGodly uses. We are in sore need of a real and huge revival, Lord, the likes of which has not been seen before. But to achieve this, we need a great and powerful and charismatic leader. I pray, Lord, that you might select from those we have in power, or those you can bring to power and prominence, and give us a great leader who can and will speak the words we need to hear to chastize and edify us in the way in which we need to again go. Inspire us, oh Lord, and bring us again to our knees, that this nation might once agan be that "shining city on a hill," and a light unto so many millions' path. Turn us from the depravities and sins and excesses of our current being, and set us aright, that we might be more pleasing to Thee.

    And Lord, I pray that you might be gentle in all this, and in dealing with we who truly love you. We are weak and not very bright, and have trouble discerning what your intent is for us many times. Keep our hearts and minds close to Thee, that we might continue to do better over time.

    Protect our nation from egregious harm, I pray. I fear, Lord, that without us, the whole world will go wholesale and in total to evil. Thou art the final arbiter of these things, Lord, and this is just my humble prayer for you today. And thank you for all you have SO freely given to all of us! Thou art the great God of the Universe and of Heaven and earth, and all praise rightly are due thee. Forgive us when we stray, or err. Thy wonders and patience with us is so very humbling! Thank you for that, and all the other many, many, many blessings you've provided for us. I will always be in awe of Thee. Thank you, and amen.
