Two new dawns

So, along with my new dawn, the world sees a new dawn with the inauguration of Barack Obama.   I hope that Mr. Barack Obama fulfills all that people hope that he's going to do, but he has a tall order to fill.  He is tackling a big problem economically, but I hope that he succeeds.  Lord, I pray that You guide Mr. obama, and lead him in what to do in this country.  Also, that he succeeds in being a great president. Jesus, your kingdom come and your will be done. In Jesus name. Amen!

Our new president: may God bless him

MLK and Obama

Happy Birthday Mr. Martin Luther King! This man really was a great Man, but we often forget about his background and why he did what he did. Unlike Malcom X, MLK wanted to change the world peacefully with peaceful demonstrations. But it wasn't his approach that should make us stop and think. It was why he did what he did.

Now, let's refocus a little. This man, MLK, was not some politician, not solely activist. He was a preacher. A pastor actually. Although it wasn't a backwoods church. You know, the inspiring story of the little people who could. But still, he was preacher.

God gave this preacher a vision. And I'm not doing a knock off of the the MLK "I have a dream" speech. But God had to have given him a vision for him to nonviolently go through all that he did. He was a great leader with God giving him the guidance in what to do. Sadly, he ended up giving his life for this cause. But was more of giving his life for his anointing, and in turn giving his life for God.

So now, because of the advancement of people like MLK, and others afterwards, we now have a history changing moment coming up in a few days. Yes America, our first african american president is going to be inaugurated on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009.

This is history in the making. History that I am planning to watch and record so that I might put it in my archives of great things in history that I've seen.

Now, with all that effort, I'm sure the question could be ask. "so you agree with his views and the things that he stands for?" No. Not at all. I think that it is great for America that we have a man of a different color that is able to be elected. Overall, this is a interracial victory, but really, this is not a Moral victory. But no matter how I feel about my views of what he stands for. He will be my president. He will be the representative of the United States to all th countries in the world. Because of that he earns my respect and my prayers. Now, will I back him totally if he does something that I think is wrong morally or God forbid persecuting Christians even? No. But I do hope that he succeeds in leading America. And i hope that he succeeds in not only leading america, but leading us towards God's/Jesus' plans. I do NOT want him to be assasinated or anything like that. I want him to live and be a good president. THose are my prayers.

At the beginning of Romans 13, it talks about how God has given leaders. In this, we are to respect them and pray for them.. Of course, if your leader does domething that is against the Bible or what God has told you to do. You don't have to do it because Jesus says you give you caesar what is caesar's and to God what is God's!

So the long and short of it is this: Be praying. Be praying hard for our country and our new president that God will guide him and that he will listen to God. And for God's kingdom come and God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven! May God bless America!

Happy New Year?

This is an interview before Obama was running for president...2004 to be exact when he was running to be in te senate. Yeah, his first time in any US Governmental position in 2005. First time elected to government position (Illinois) 1996.

A time to mourn

Yes, I'm a blogger and I am in mourning. As I watched the election last night I was wishing and praying that my nightmares would not come true. I was praying and prayed at dinner that America wouldn't have its Saul. You know, Saul from the Bible! you remember the story. The Israelites had God as there leader with prophets/judges serving as the mouth poece between. Pretty sweet deal when you think about it. God as their president. SWEET! Well, they didn't like this deal. The Israelites, I mean. They wanted to be like everyone else....Seriously, that's what they told God. Here's what they said (paraphrasing of course) " All these coutnries around us have a king and well, we want one too! You are not enough!" Well, alhtough God did not want to give them a king....He did anyway...because that was what they wanted.

So what does this have to do with America....Nice Bible history, but so what?!

Well, America has voted for one of our most liberal Presidents with one of our most liberal Congresses....Our democratic friend Nancy is probably jumping in delight...alot like a demon. I know that Obama has said a lot of things that sounds great and that he's going to change things...But these are just words...Oh yeah, don't forget..he has a Great personality....A I remember, that was never a requirement to become President....Also as I recall, that's how Hitler got elected. So, I'm praying that we won't end up like nazi Germany and Rome with Caesar and Octavian....Tricked out of a real democreacy and freedoms.

The Race is on!

So the race is on, and the candidates are official. Since the candidates are official, they have now picked their running mates. Obama has picked Joe Biden, the very liberal senator with much experience. The amount of experience that Joe Biden has is supposed tomake up for Obama's lack of experience.

McCain has also picked his running mate. Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska. This was kind of a hit out of left field. No body really saw it coming. Now, people are saying that she lacks experience (she's only been a governer for like 2 years and a mayor before that). They are also talking about issues as to whether she should run with being a mother of like 5 and a baby born this past year. Then, don't forget that she has a 17 year old daughter that is pregnant. The media startd having a hay day with these issues and all of a sudden started making a big deal. This is hard to take when they defend these type of things everyday. Ironic isn't it? But Sarah palin is a big draw for conservative evangelicals. Why? Because she very much of a conservative and she is a christian.

Now we are down where we really are choosing who will run and be an example of our country. Remember that this person needs to line up with the Bible, and the standards that God sets out for us and for leaders. Pray hard!
