That's one of my prayers, too, kj...and a friend and I sang it loud and proudly at Folk Club a couple of weeks ago.

This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced. From the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees. Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders to behold. His scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do so. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 :

If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organize d a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England , its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America . The United States of America and our citizens need prayer more than ever!

If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, 8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific, stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, for wisdom and courage for our leaders, the up-coming election, and that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.

If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along.

Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.


It was the brown acid, wasn't it?

Still wanna off the goat to appease the gods do we?

Well, there has been talk in republican circles that Sarah Palin has become the "scapegoat" and the reason McCain will lose the election.
My sources tell me that Dick Cheney will shoot her from a helicopter after McCain loses the election. Do you think that will be enough to appease the gods, or do you think they want a real goat?

The term "scapegoat" relates to one goat that is allowed to escape sacrifice, and carries the sins of the many with it.

So Sarah would be allowed to 'escape' but could come back to haunt us, I guess!

If you want to hit Palin somewhere substantial, don't aim for her head.....

However predictable, it is a somewhat sad comment that it took the POWER OF $$$$$ to swing the attitudes of voters in this land. No more "love makes the world go round" or all that "peace and social responsibility" junk.....the polls clearly illustrate what we as a nation hold most dear---$$$$$!!!!!---the power of $$$$$ makes racists vote for a black man, war mongers vote for a man who seeks peace, and fundamentalist christians vote for a man who is pro choice and preaches tolerance. It IS ALL about the $$$$$, stupid!!! But hey, I'll take it any way I can get it.....whatever floats the boat, or sacrifices the goat.....maybe form will follow function.....

It makes a difference to me, though, if they are correct in reporting that the big bucks all came from relatively small donations from a whole bunch of people, rather than huge chunks of money from the oil companies, etc.

Absolutely Shel! Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I wasn't referring to the fact that Obama outspent McCain..... I was alluding to materialism vs. altruism as motivating factors.
