Is It A ‘God Thing?’

everfaith

I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t believe in coincidences.  God has answered every one of my prayers…even a non-answer is an answer.  It’s a “not yet,” or possibly a “never.”  But, since He is God alone and I am not, I accept his authority in all areas of life.  Even in the confusing ones. At our community group meeting last week while we shared prayer requests, I told of how my parents had a very quick move from one part of the state to another.  My grandmother is not in the best of health, so my parents decided, with … Continue reading Is It A ‘God Thing?’

Show Me The Money

everfaith

Oh, joy.  President Obama said last night that the federal government is the ONLY institution with the wherewithal to pull our economy out of the pit (that’s a socialistic mantra if I’ve ever heard one).  Today the Senate brainiacs in Washington passed the 850 Billion dollar “spendulous” package.  And the markets jumped for joy, right? Wrong.  They plummeted.  Again. If the economic stimulus package put together is so good, why did the stock market drop? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we don’t HAVE 850 Billion dollars sitting around to be distributed.  Our government is already … Continue reading Show Me The Money

An Open Letter to the Senate, Congress, and President Obama

everfaith

Dear Senator, Congressman, and President Obama: The current economic stimulus bill is so large and cumbersome that it is ripe for corruption. It would be very easy for one of your colleagues to sneak in provisions that have absolutely nothing to do with stimulating the economy and everything to do with satisfying corporate campaign donors. If, as President Obama suggested yesterday, our economy will not recover without a 1 trillion dollar injection (in addition to the 700 billion passed last fall), then my husband and I propose a different way to spend 1 trillion dollars. Cut a $3,300 check to … Continue reading An Open Letter to the Senate, Congress, and President Obama

Benefit of the Doubt

everfaith

I haven’t posted much about politics since the election, but today I felt a need to stand up say that as a Christian who has what many in the liberal media would term “neo-conservative” views, I support President-elect Obama’s choice of Saddleback Church’s Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. For one thing, it is HIS inauguration.  America did not elect the Atlantic website People for the American Way or the Human Rights campaign, all of which have come out swinging and screaming about Obama’s choice in Warren.  I did not vote for him, but I respect this … Continue reading Benefit of the Doubt

Make The Crooked Paths Straight

everfaith

Those of you who have not yet decided who to support in this presidential election — one out of seven, according to a recent poll — you hold the keys to the castle, and my prayers are with you. Consider this disturbing report revealing details about Senator Obama’s support for Kenya’s Raila Odinga in 2006 (Odinga claims that he is Senator Obama’s cousin).  Watch this clip from YouTube, and then read the words of Isaiah, in Isaiah 59, below the clip: Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear … Continue reading Make The Crooked Paths Straight
