Only in America!

I hope that the National Day of Prayer went off without a hitch for you as it did for me. Our city gathered at the court house for prayer under the USA flag by a war memorial. I am not saying which war the memorial was for because all wars that have been fought to maintain our freedom is as important as the other.

An establishing of the reason for our gathering was made clear right at the beginning and it was to lift the name of our God on high and His name is Jesus the Christ. That is exactly what we did for the full hour; in love, humbleness and joy did we do that.

A choir of Teen Challenge men sang and led us in hymns. Prayer warriors of Pastors, the chief of the Police, a highway patrol man, Sheriff, mayors, ex military men of various wars, governmental representatives, ordinary folks like myself and more lifted our LORD's name on high in prayer and singing.

We praised God to be in a country that is still free enough to be able to do this; meet in broad daylight and pray out loud lifting up the matchless name of Jesus Christ at our own free will because we love God; Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Ghost. I arrived home to a phone call from a friend in another town asking if I was in hand cuffs yet? Of course she was only teasing me but that is the point, isn't it; To be free enough to not be arrested for worshiping in a public place. It is an altogether awesome gift that I do thank God for everyday it is still here! It felt good to still be able to say, “Only in America.” We are the ones with such encompassing freedom.

I treasure to hang onto this freedom. We have been seeing a different trend that collectively many of us have not liked. We have pursued the normal course of contacting our representatives and to no avail. Things have rammed through relentlessly and we in America became the great nation we are because we are people who don't like things rammed through. So we said, “Okay, we will see you at the polls next Fall when it comes time to vote.” After today, that desire sits even deeper in me for I want very much to hang onto what we did under the flag today to continue on for my children and their children. I want them to know and say with full realization, “Only in America.”

So I ask, are you keeping tabs of who is running in your district? Do you know about your candidates to make a wise choice at the voting booth? This is the year we really need to do this. In fact, lets start with knowing how to find which district you are in so you can understand who your candidates may be. Check this site here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MN-districts-108.JPG

Immediately I could tell I am in district 8 and when I clicked on district 8 I can tell immediately who is my current representative. Get yourself familiar, friends, on how to search out all the information you need to go to the polls prepared to vote your conscious. It is another thing we can still do and lets not let it slip away.

In a lingering heart to praise our LORD, I end the post with this:

Islamic World to Bail USA Out?

Islamic World to Bail USA Out?

We have heard of many attempts to restore our country to the Republic for which it stands and not be any further caught up in the corporate method in which our country is presently being run from the white house.

Only a week ago I pondered how the way politics was being done and how could a president get by with such handling of the greatest country of the world. I got my answer when it was pointed out it was a corporate effort. That's it exactly. I looked deeper and found this corporate effort. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2465603/posts Now be sure to read the site post comments this time. They are in themselves interesting. But you will see here that Obama does continue to bash US industry but calls for Muslim summit on entrepreneurship.

Out of the list of articles telling us of Obama's search for our economical solutions, I thought this one was interesting too. Economic summit with the Islamic world is scheduled to happen the end of this month in fact. Good thing to put on our prayer list isn't it.

Speaking of prayer. Do you wonder what is happening to our National Day of Prayer? Here you go...read all about it: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/apr/10041508.html

How something so good can go bye bye in just a heart beat is something, isn't it. Sad days we are living in! But we must keep looking Jesus full in His wonderful face in the privacy of our own relationship with Him!

This cessation of the National Day of Prayer that was originally sponsored by the white house is apparently the follow up of President Obama, who last year issued a proclamation but refused to host National Day of Prayer ceremonies at the White House, as previous administrations had done. He had a Sept. Muslim rally there though. Hmmm.

Here is a thoughtful look at the situation: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/64225

The constitution being rendered unconstitutional? Sounds like a game. What are we doing! Are we frustrated yet?

The restoring of our Republic...going back to no taxes? The postings for this is in the form of email attachments so I can't use them. But they are along the line of Keith Livingway's input. Here is a posting about the effort though: http://guardiansofthefreerepublics.com/front-page.html

And within that site I found something I can identify with. A actual feeling of caring about the plight so many of our neighbors and friends and even families are in and a sincere desire to want to do something to help with it. See here!: http://guardiansofthefreerepublics.com/rationale.html

Bountiful are the people who sit and say all is well with 'me' and it would be with you too if you would only...and then they insert all sorts of euphemisms and some of them even godly but they are all selfish remarks. I myself am able to take a stay at home and be snug, too, but given a choice, I choose to take action. So I blog. If this return to the Republic succeeds or not, remains to be seen, but I pray for them and praise God for their gumption! I just heard on CNN that there are over 240 of these Republic groups and they are being called hate groups that are anti-government. Further news was that there are over a 1,000 hate groups total according to the news. Pass this blog on so others can read and study and know the REPUBLIC are NOT hate group status!

So, we have corporate, republic and now for our Savior where I hang my hat to blog, write and sale books to fund missions.

In fact this time I will post two special sites, please. First we can know our God is an awesome God and then in video number two we can know personal application. Enjoy!
