Dear Friends...
Happy New Year...! I'm a little behind on my blogging in 2009, but plan to try to start updating this site about once a week... I'm really going to try to keep the content fresh and interesting this year...
Today's topic is about comments made by Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson regarding his speaking at the upcoming inauguration of President Elect Barack Obama.
You need to read this link for a little background information :

OK, here's the problem I have with this guy: Forget that he's a homosexual. I'm not even going to address that issue. The problem I have is this 'Episcopal Bishop' reported that he doesn't yet know what he'll say at the inauguration, but he knows he won't use a Bible.
The article also quotes him as saying:
"While the bible is a holy and sacred text to me, it is not for many Americans," Robinson said. "I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer. This is a prayer for the whole nation."
Am I the only one who sees the disconnect?
Gene Robinson has been asked by President Obama to pray at the inauguration but he's NOT going to use a bible and is NOT going to be Christian in his prayer.
Oh, how our world seems to have turned upside down...!
Here's a suggestion for Bishop Robinson: It's a prayer that was forwarded to me via email by a home school mom- It's the kind of prayer that I wish were prayed at this inauguration, and the kind that Believers need to pray every day.
Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbors possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'
Friends, let's start praying for America like we never have before... This is a CRUCIAL time in our country's history.
(Let's also pray for Bishop Robinson...)
Join me in standing in the Gap for America Today...!

Sam, this eloquent poem speaks volumes of truth. I, too, have become increasingly disturbed by attitudes of so called free-thinkers. Most recently on the Oprah Winfrey show a minster said, "Being gay is a blessing from God." How can what the Bible clearly labels an abomination be a blessing from God?
Oops..I did not mean poem; I meant prayer.
Seems you are leading a pretty happy life!!
