Early in the Morning - well before sun rise!

Is it the pain in my back or neck that woke me? It was pain - that's for sure - that woke me. And, yes my body does more than ache. But - there is a greater pain that wakes me - disturbing me from my sleep. A pain that I humbly yield to.

Oh - how my heart aches for my family, then the surrounding community in which I live, and for this nation! How much I love all of you and yet - I feel the weight of God's Great Love upon me! He desires that none should perish - but that all might repent and come to know Him - that all might escape the impending Judgement!

But - not all will - not all have ears to hear the call of repentance. Too many have built their lives on the falsehoods of successful living by compromising to worldly standards and principals - see it is not a matter of what sin you commit - but - by whose ideas you hold to!

Let us all therefore repent - turn to Christ - surrender to His Lordship - live according to His Standards - principals - and ideas - Let us Love the Lord our God with all of our heart, with all of our soul, with all of our strength, and with all of our might - and - let us love our neighbor as our selves.

Let us watch and pray - for the time of the Lord's coming in nigh upon us!

When calamity comes - Look up! For our redemption - our Rescuer who cometh is not far off!

With Love and Prayers,

Oops! Obama did it AGAIN! And, he still can’t get it right!
John 10: 1 “I tell you the Truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climb in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.”

This Blog is a repsponse to an article posted earlier this morning on the web. Here are a few of the 'highlights' of that article - along with my commentary:

WASHINGTON (Jan. 21) – “After the flub heard around the world, President Barack Obama has taken the oath of office. Again. Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the oath to Obama on Wednesday night at the White House — a rare do-over.”

"We decided that because it was so much fun ...," Obama joked to reporters who followed press secretary Robert Gibbs into the room. No TV camera crews or news photographers were allowed in. A few of Obama's closest aides were there, along with a White House photographer."

"The president said he did not have his Bible with him, but that the oath was binding anyway."

Okay - So, let’s recap:

Obama was ‘unofficially’ sworn in so, they had to swear him in again. The first time was a result of his impatience (he jumped the gun / or the fence). So, they wanted to make it ‘official’ by having him say the oath again – but – only in front a few selected reporters.

But, wait – something is wrong again. How many do-overs do we need to have with this guy before he can get it right?

It seems that when he went to take his oath of office – he forgot – something?

No – not something – the Word of God – yes – that’s right – he forgot his Bible! Some might say that it is no big deal – after all – how many Christians today forget their Bibles – and – yet that is the spiritual travesty of this nation. How willingly would we be to elect the anti-christ to rule over this nation? As willingly as we are to allow someone to be sworn into office without taking the oath seriously before God – apart from His Word of Truth!
