Pray for our President

Dear brothers in Christ: I tearfully say believers have failed politically because we don't heed God's Word, therefore He doesn't listen to our words or prayers. The Apostle Paul admonished us to pray (the opposite of cursing) for those who rule over us, pray for their success as statesmen and as guardians, and for the protection of them and their families.
If our President is our political enemy who curses us under his breath, we are to bless him, as Jesus told us to, commend him honestly when he does a task well, and be slow to anger, slow to criticize. We do this to honor God's Word's, and not to gain political advantage.
Do not fear that his success as a statesman will lead to his success politically, for God decides who will be lifted up or brought down. Both Nixon and Carter were great statesmen, probably because of the prayers of believers, and failed spectacularly politically. 
God choosing who to lift up is the reason we should listen to God and NOT MEN when we go to the poll booth. Next time you vote, ask God who His man is.
Paul's Words:I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Cooking Veggies, geek stuff, random thoughts

Sunday, October 17, 2011 Mary's up early so we can go to the early service, 10:30, early for me, that is. Too many years on third shift. 
Eric (Mary's son) sent us a lot of veggies from his garden, squash, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and Mary brought me a nice wok from IKEA, $5, so I dusted off my cooking skills and made dinner. Cut an acorn squash in half, cooked it at 350 in the oven, boiled some red potatoes, and cooked peppers, an onion, and a tomato in the wok, then finished up with 3 scrambled eggs in the wok. Mary was happy. 
Mary's condo is caty corner from a Little Caesars, or about a hundred yards. Big square pizza for $7 plus $1 for garlic bread sticks. I cook there about twice a month. 
About politics: I won't vote for any candidate that is not strongly and actively pro life. I have voted for ANOTHER party if the candidate is pro life. I will support bipartisanship and compromise on financial issues. I will never compromise on LIFE. Best approach is to stay informed, stay constantly in prayer, and don't be afraid to let God lead. I went into a poll once determined to vote for Jimmy Carter, and felt compelled to vote for Ronnie while I was in there. Don't want to do a comparison here, for God will be the ultimate Judge of all Kings, but God's Spirit CAN direct in the polling booth. Politics wins. Statesmanship does the right thing, win or lose. Better to lose an election than God's favor. 
I just did a random check on Facebook search and found out my links are being shared, not just viewed. I am very grateful. Thank you. There were over 140 views of my blog on Friday. Most of the views came from Google searches, which indicates word of mouth is getting more draw than my posting. I've noticed a big upturn of viewing since Google brought out the new dynamic view which enables my friends to find other posts easier. Also had a turning point on my business. Made $10 from advertisement fees from Amazon, so I will actually get a check next month. I appreciate your prayers and encouragement.

Hoosier Politicians

Democratic Senator Evan Bayh was not supported by pro abortion group Planned Parenthood. He voted against
partial birth abortion.

Hoosiers excel at a lot of things, not the least of which is their political thinking, which is why Hoosiers don't fare as well nationally. Hoosiers politicians, both parties, have a higher standard for honesty, positive campaigning, bipartisanship, moderation, and godly (prolife, marriage, restrained borrowing) politics than national politics as a whole. Just my observation.

Republican Senator Dick Lugar has drawn criticism
for his bipartisanship.

Congressman Joe Donelly was one of a handful of democrats to vote
against stem cell research.

Former Democratic Congressman Tim Roemer was prolife.

Former Vice President Dan Quayle was
strongly attacked by liberals for his socially conservative views.
