WHAT FOLLOWS IS AN E-MAIL sent to me from a friend who just happens to be a big time Bible-thumpin' reactionary Right Winger.
I don't know who the originating sender was. It's all good. They pretty much parrot one another endlessly anyway. I like that the one chick 'really doesn't know' what the Bible says, but she knows what it means to her!
It's priceless, on many levels.
Following the initial e-mail is my timid response to such love and goodness.
Part of my anger was at the regularity people were sending these insipid and ridiculous missives,
especially knowing how I felt.
There's no holding back, for they DO know what they do, father!
By this point, the character assassinations, the lies, the campaign of nonsensical delusional rhetoric had played me OUT!
Enjoy!

I have signed up for this. I posted a prayer this morning. I didn't vote for Barak Obama but I will pray for him to seek the Lord's face & guidance every day before he makes any decisions.
He needs our prayers in more ways than one. The Bible says that IF MY PEOPLE WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND FORGIVE THEM OF THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND.
That may not be exactly correct but that is pretty much what it means to me. Our nation more than ever needs to be healed and so does Obama. He needs Jesus. He just doesn't know it.
But if we as a nation will pray, God will listen. Thanks,Linda
Please go to website below and sign up to pray for our president....

What 'the people' need is to pull their heads out of their collective behinds. You can attempt to justify all the irrational crazy fear and anxiety and worry that you're clinging to, but it all boils down to one thing, and it CERTAINLY isn't God-related.
There is MUCH untruth about PRESIDENT-ELECT Obama that was spread by many who were opposed to him. Lies, deceits, falsehoods....that's all the work of the devil. Not God, no matter how you spin it.
Anyone with a second-grade education and a computer has had ample time to discover that our new President is a COMMITTED CHRISTIAN and has been for many years.If you don't think so...if you only subscribe to biased reports, check out the website athttp://www.fightthesmears.com/
What happened to simply agreeing to disagree with one another in this country? Why do you have to demonize a human being just because he/she does not believe the same as you? God's Bible has nothing in it about Christians forcing their viewpoint on others, or slinging mud on Jesus' behalf. The Bible promotes compassion, understanding, treating others like we would treat God himself. There hasn't been much of THAT going on lately.
There are some self-professed Christians who need to do some serious inner soul-searching and spend some one-on-one time alone with God and get right with TRUE Christian principles. At the root of all the Bible is God's LOVE. And that you are to show it to each other, every day in every way. Stop slandering the man. Help to make this country--where the will of THE PEOPLE has been decreed--more the great place it can be. Don't sabotage his attempts just so you feel justified if he fails.
This nation is all about the hard work of the common people, and we are ALL needed now. To put aside differences and petty grievances...to LET GO AND LET GOD and quit judging and hating and cloaking ourselves in contempt.
This is a new day. Let's start acting like the best possible people we can be, and realize that change IS a normal, healthy part of the world.
A man is first a baby, then a boy, then a young man, then midway, then old. All part of the same journey. We are meant to grow and transform in accordance with the world we live in. The world is not stagnant...it is ever-changing.
We have a lot of DEEP-seated racism to deal with in this country. Now is the time for great men and women to show themselves, to speak truth, to remember the humility they would call for in others, and to admit to and overcome the dark places in their heart which we ALL have. Blessings of God's gracious universe upon us all..and may peace and man's rational mind reign over his fears and prejudices.Amen!
