This ...Just found your blog thru another I follow. This was an excellent entry. I've been absorbed in the campaign leading up to this election because it is such an important one for our country. I'm relieved it's over, and believe the outcome will work for God's purposes for us regardless of who is in office. Still, I believe He expects us to take part in the political process, not just leading up to the election, but by being informed about what is going on in our country and by our taking the time to write emails to our elected officials regularly to let them know what we expect of them as they write the laws and govern the country. <BR/><BR/>And yes, our focus has to remain on our relationship with Heavenly Father and what he would have us do individually in our own lives and in our families.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the excellent blog. I'll be back.<BR/><BR/>PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-44403305959001281182008-11-08T21:13:00.000-08:002008-11-08T21:13:00.000-08:00Our focus has to remain on ourselves, our own repe...Our focus has to remain on ourselves, our own repentance, our own prayer life. WHERE our hope lies, and our trust. We have always had the same job to do. It's not about the guys on capitol hill; it's about us.<BR/>Thanks for these comments.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-45156949016547453632008-11-08T15:21:00.000-08:002008-11-08T15:21:00.000-08:00Great post!

I read another blog where they suggested that we pray for the new president's salvation and that his cold heart towards the unborn would be turned warm and that he would have a true awakening.<BR/><BR/>Sounds good to me!Grandma Tillie's Bakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347610921670487366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-8833627382501132172008-11-08T09:29:00.000-08:002008-11-08T09:29:00.000-08:00I surely have been experiencing such joy as I avoi...I surely have been experiencing such joy as I avoid the political scene and focus on my Lord and family. I know the plans He has for me and my family and all the rest who look to Him. Keep your eyes on the Lord and live the abundant life ... regardless of who presides in America. I'm on my knees right alongside you -- but then, that's nothing new. : )Debbie in CA : )https://www.blogger.com/profile/07473719745707917057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-41669337994468251912008-11-08T05:08:00.000-08:002008-11-08T05:08:00.000-08:00"It is the LOVE of Christ that leads a man to repe..."It is the LOVE of Christ that leads a man to repentance." amen amen amen Sister!<BR/>What a powerful, positive, and Christ love post. Some of the blogs I've been reading lately have been filled with doom and gloom."First of all, God is in control. No power is given that he does not allow." again, amen amen amen. I truly believe that. I keep thinking, (I'm Canadian) "God is in control,and what's come to pass if from His hand (talking about our own Prime Minister being elected a few backs).I MUST trust and place my faith in Him, and not allow fear to control my thoughts."<BR/>Last night I wrote in my devotional about you,,lol.

Good thought. We CAN be gracious and supportive. I have never understood making fun of the man who is running the country.
