Rejoice, for the will of God has been done. We have a President that will stand for life and freedom and do the right thing! Truth and righteousness have won over falsehood and lies.

This Orthodox song from South Africa is simply inspiring: http://www.orthodoxnet.com/audio/On_earth_an_army_is_marching_Alleluia_south_africa.mp3

[ezfindit]

God has spoken! Innocence will be defended! Freedom will spread!

[gopwinsin04]

Praise god from who all blessings flow!

Catholics and Orthodox: Thank Mary for Her Intercession

[Taggart_D]

Amen! Certainly and answer to prayer....bigger than expected...God answered prayer in a mighty WAY!!!!

Don't think I wasn't praying!

[ezfindit]

ORTHODOX PING! Let everyone know! I lost the Orthodox List.

[ezfindit]

Orthodox Ping!

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

God grant him many years!

[ezfindit]

Orthodox PING! God Grant Bush Many Years!

Take a good look at what's sitting next to Barbara's elbow (the younger Barbara, that is).

[ArrogantBustard]

Probably a gift from Jeb ...

...and for those of us who are evangelical Protestant (plain ol' vanilla, all-too-often overlooked CHRISTIANS) just feel free to thank God DIRECTLY. ;)

:P

Really, please: Stop neglecting us. We (conservative) Protestants are just as Christian, and were sweating this election out just as you, our brothers in Christ, were. I think we're ALL glad for this outcome.

[ezfindit]

I thought I SAW that also! I wasn't sure, but you're right. That is the ICON of the Theotokos, the Ever-Virgin Mary! She was watching out for our nation.

Theotokos, the helper of Christians, we your servants, having received your protection, cry aloud in gratitude to you: Hail, most pure Virgin Birth-giver of God! From all calamities deliver us always through your prayers--you who alone are a ready helper in trouble. With tears of joy, we thank you Oh Ever-Virgin our intercessor and most holy saint!

[FormerLib]

On another thread, it was mentioned that Bush Sr. has travelled extensively in Greece so he might have picked it up there. Could be a gift from Putin, but I think we'd have heard something about that.

[Agrarian]

Thanks for the ping. Prayers for our country must continue, and our work in our local communities must also continue. It sure is easier to pray those prayers for W than it was for WJC.

[ezfindit]

I knew this picture would have some relevance someday. :-)

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Amen bump!

[Cedar]

All praise and thanksgiving to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.

[eleni121]

Wow...an icon! A gift from Vlad perhaps...

Incredible!

I am so happy.

[eleni121]

Thank you...very beautiful.

[ezfindit]

You're right, that icon may be from Putin.

It would be nice to hear from Frankie Schaeffer, the Boston writer who wrote the book
about his son choosing the Marines over some elite univeristy.

Forgive my inexactitude, but I think Mr. Schaeffer is a member of one of the
Orthodox Christian groups.

[ezfindit]

You're right, Frank Schaeffer's son is indeed a Marine and he is Orthodox Christian. I hope he will issue a statement.

[I'm ALL Right!]

LOVE IT! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God!

[ChristianFool]

Wooooo Hoooo! Orthodox Christians all over the country and the world are rejoicing. Lord Have Mercy!

[Mockingbird For Short]

God has given us four more years as a free people to make an impact on future generations by upholding RIGHTNESS and speaking out against the major things that are wrong with our society. Let's continue the fight.

[Pyro7480]

Really, please: Stop neglecting us. We (conservative) Protestants are just as Christian, and were sweating this election out just as you, our brothers in Christ, were. I think we're ALL glad for this outcome.

No, I didn't neglect you. I just knew I'd get a better response from those two groups to such a call. I respect your convictions on the "gay rights" issue and abortion, and your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

[Gamecock]

Wooooo Hoooo! Orthodox Christians all over the country and the world are rejoicing. Lord Have Mercy!

Any room for Calvinists? ;-)

[VOA]

Frank Schaeffer's son is indeed a Marine and he is Orthodox Christian.
I hope he will issue a statement.

Absolutely agreed.
I hope he'll pen some opinion pieces about how this electoral result should
solidify us behind the US military and the hard work that remains to be done
to stabilize Iraq (and Afghanistan) and leave them to work out their destiny
as free (well, MUCH freer) countries.

(and thanks for confirming my recollection)

[ChristianFool]

There's room for all Christians and people of faith that stand for Truth and Christ and LIFE!

[monkfan]

Amen!

[katnip]

What a great and powerful God he is! I've been thanking Him all day.

[eleni121]

The evangelical Protestants have suffered the brunt of the Leftist secularists in this country.

You are heroic Christians.

[Kolokotronis]

Many years indeed!

[kosta50]

An Orthodox "army is marching..." song? What brand of "Orthodoxy" did that? Evangelical?

[kosta50]

May God have mercy on you for such blasphemy?

[MarMema]

Sorry for being so late to the thread.

Glory to God! Thank you Lord.

Hurray, hurray, hurray!!!

[MarMema]

Ping to a celebration. If only we could all sing Many Years together for our newly re-elected president.

[MarMema]

Any room for Calvinists? ;-)

You betcha, and the Catholics too - come on in! Grab some punch and a chair. We'll be making toasts soon.

[ArrogantBustard]

Salud!

[ezfindit]

If only we could all sing Many Years together for our newly re-elected president.

I know I would love to. I know at least 5-6 priests who would love to join us! What a wonderful sight that would be! I feel like I'm floating on a cloud. I've been walking around all day smiling and singing!

[MarMema]

I've been walking around all day smiling and singing!

Out here we're still holding our breath on the outcome for our new governor. But it sure is wonderful to know President Bush is back.
