Hard hitting politics start again on Monday! In the meantime.........

"Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray." Psalm 5

It's Sunday! Take a break if you can....rest or recreation ........ and maybe some prayer? ("Please God....NO OBAMA"...okay, I said no politics till Monday, I know)

Have a wonderful day!

God bless this country! The country’s prayers are now for Obama rather than Palin by 50% to 44% (Gallup Tracking Poll).

Creator of us ALL, We cannot change each others minds and we only create animosity with loving friends when we take on political issues. Let us remember we each have one vote and that we should spend it as we see fit. But allow us to walk out of that voting booth and greet the same friends we walked in with in a totally bipartisan hug. Amen

Funny this should be your picture today. Yesterday we went and did our big grocery shopping trip that we do once a month. When we came home there was a small baby bunny in our front yard. He ran under a pine tree in our front yard and stayed there. The girls and I got to look under the edge of the tree and watch him. The girls brought him out some carrots and put them under the branches of the tree.

Z, my daughter loved your picture. Me, I'm sick and am going to sit and do almost nothing today. My most ambitious action today will likely be to watch the Lions get slaughtered by someone new this week.

***snarky prayer alert***

i pray for the obama supporters, they clearly need more help from you, God.

i pray for my fantasy football team, may the players stay heathy and rack up lots of fantasy points, whether they win their own games or not.

i pray for my house, which is in need of an exorcism, the messy, cluttered demons have taken over.

i pray for my friends, who are subjected to my oft times horrible sense of humor.

i pray for the tattoo parlor guy who gave me a unique piercing this weekend. he had never pierced this particular area before. i feel unique.

i pray for my blog buddies, who provide me with mental stimulation, food for thought, and a lot of laughter. may they continue to do so. :-)

amen.

Pinky....maybe it be so!

TMW...i love rain...as long as it's cool

Granny... Imagine SO many people having been indoctrinated enough to actually not understand how bad Obama will be for this country? DIfficult..but I'm working on your attitude!

Kris...I hope your child's well very soon

Pops...how bizarre is THAT?! I love 'coincidences' like that.

CHuck...GET BETTER SOON. I'm glad your daughter liked the picture so much! I thought it was adorable!

Dude, you, too!

Salubrina..you crack me UP! (I"ve gotta know where, but I really DON'T want to know!!) And yes, Obama supporters need prayer, but not as much as AMERICA does because of their threat.

I pray for America.

I pray for the peace of mind of this blogger ... who is my friend, and all of those who appreciate her as much as I do. I ask that she is encouraged in spirit, and that she never loses her excellent sense of humor. Amen.

We often ask, "What is wisdom?" I found this quotation I'd like to share with Z and friends:

"To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things. The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of an apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent upon this knowledge. To recognize the significant in the factual is wisdom." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

May we all be so blessed.

edge..I DO. Ask ME (Smile)

Mustang, how beautiful...thank you VERY VERY much. That Boenhoffer quote is amazing, but he was an amazing human being, wasn't he.
Thank you...I'm going to read this a few times and really mull it over.

Pris...You're right..We have to pray for America and for Americans to do the right thing....we have to keep America safe from socialism...good stewardship. People have to step up to the plate, like churches, etc., and HELP OTHERS as they have done in the past so we can avoid the liberal bent of constantly going to the government.

May God wake up Americans to the goodness that was theirs. I know He will.

Mantha said...

z, if you can't stand the curiousity, check out my blog. i've got pics uploaded! :-)

psi bond said...

Say a prayer for those who passionately believe Americans who support Obama have been brainwashed or indoctrinated somehow.

Z said...

psi bond. you really are keeping your comments and reposting after I've deleted!

You DO have a sense of humor after all! (so do I........or you wouldn't be here, TRUST me)

Ohmigosh Z, do you realize if Obama supporters aren't brainwashed that... they're ..oh..my..they're really just plain stupid?

Pris

psi bond said...

The funny thing, Z, is that my sense of humor is in no way contingent on whether you recognize that I have one. I’ll say a prayer for you.

Bunny must be praying for the Tony Alamo ministry. They Feds busted him.

Pris: Ohmigosh Z, do you realize if Obama supporters aren't brainwashed that... they're ..oh..my..they're really just plain stupid?

Hence, one supposes that, if Obama supporters are brainwashed, they’re kind of smart. That is, vulnerability to mental manipulation techniques is an indicator of intelligence. Anyone who believes that doesn’t have a prayer.
