Lord,
  We pray for optimum health, mental clarity and political
prosperity for President Barack Obama.  We pray that what he lacks in political
‘experience’ you make up for with supernatural wisdom and power.  We
also pray that when his enemies come upon him they will stumble and
fall; and that your love will fill his heart to the end that ‘Your will’
will be done through him.

He went home and saw his wife preparing dinner. Standing fifteen feet behind her he said, “What’s for dinner, honey?”
