II Chronicles 7:14
I remember reading about the children of Israel who turned from God time and time again, only to realize their mistake and pray for forgiveness. Each time, God would forgive them and they would walk with him for a time. So, I am going to ask you to join me in praying for our nation every day.
Please read the email below. God is in control.

Matthew 5:1-12 (NRSV)
..
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his
disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:
..
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will
be filled.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all
kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your
reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who
were before you.

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
…
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.
…
But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.
…
The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.

Psalm 23:5-6 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Inaugural prayers aim for a more diverse America
AP – The Rev. Rick Warren, of the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., gives the invocation as President-elect …

By RACHEL ZOLL, AP Religion Writer
The clergy were Protestant, and so was the new head of state. But the inauguration Tuesday of President Barack Obama aimed for a much broader audience: an increasingly diverse America, where people want their beliefs acknowledged in the nation’s most important ceremony. In his address, Obama referred to God and Scripture, saying, “the time has come to set aside childish things,” from 1 Corinthians.
But he also reached out to American secularists, calling the United States, “a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and nonbelievers.” The Center for Inquiry and the Council for Secular Humanism, based in Amherst, N.Y., called recognition in the inaugural address “truly historic and remarkable.”

Hello, my Friend!
So, what will you do with the last few days of 2008?
Better yet, what will you take with you into 2009?
Here is my promise. I do this every year before
the year ends. I go to my message site and open up
the list of email addresses of my “friends I’ve never
met” and look at every single one. One at a time.
While scanning over nameless, faceless
email addresses I think about you, pray for all of you
to have a great year filled with love, hope, faith and good
health. Then at the end I thank God for each of you in my life.It is an honor and a privilege.

Be grateful. Love all. Have mercy. Forgive.”
