And it's not just a "sour grapes" reaction; I believe, as many do, that this election is going to radically shift the course of our great country toward all the things we have historically fought against: Mammoth, bloated government, personal Dependency (on Nana Sam -- no longer an Uncle but now a Nanny), weakness in the military, etc. etc... And with full Democratic control of Congress, things do look bleak indeed...<BR/><BR/>So I wrote the post first for myself, to remind myself that we were NEVER, after all, supposed to get comfortable in this life; I needed to remind myself that God's NUMBER ONE (and I might say ONLY) concern is the Redemption of the Human Heart, and that remains true whether Reagan or Obama, or Ghandi or Stalin, rules the land we live in...<BR/><BR/>This is all easier said that done for those of us who love America with all our hearts; so I'm starting already this morning to ask God to re-orient my thoughts on Him and on our Hope of Glory.<BR/><BR/>Please take some time to check out some of the other posts here; you might really enjoy some of them.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever heard of Peter Kreeft? He has a lot of free audio on his web site -- http://www.peterkreeft.com -- that deals with the application of Christian principles to contemporary life...<BR/><BR/>Blessing to you, Michelle!<BR/>GregGreg Kernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675476954213465595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795745.post-6761527383797168182008-11-05T04:16:00.000-06:002008-11-05T04:16:00.000-06:00As one fellow believer and conservative, I awoke a...As one fellow believer and conservative, I awoke at 4 this morning to hear the news of what we've done as a country and I felt nothing short of heartsick. After an hour of hearting pundits and talking heads espouse their thoughts, I longed to hear something from God on the topic. Literally, a google of "christian response to Obama presidency" led me to this blog, and I'm glad it did. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Blessings be yours, fellow conservative and believer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
