I know this is not a political thread but I have to say this!!

“You can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig.”(OBAMA)

I say “you can throw a sheet over your preacher and say you never heard one of those hateful sermons but ITS STILL A LIE.”

He infuriates me. I’ll shut up now.

[The Mayor]

He is losing it and so is Biden,
They do not know what to do because of Palin, Brilliant move and a wonderful woman.

Hear Their Cry

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Exodus 22:22-27

You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry. —Exodus 22:22-23

CNN recently reported that there are approximately 40 million widows in India. Fifteen thousand of them live on the streets of the northern city of Vrindavan. Unfortunately, many of their families do not hear their cries. A 70-year-old widow says, “My son tells me: ‘You have grown old. Now who is going to feed you? Go away.’?” She cries, “What do I do? My pain has no limit.”

When God gave His people instructions in the desert, He told them they had a responsibility to care for widows and fatherless children in the land (Ex. 22:22-23). They were to leave some of the harvest in the field for them, and every third year they took up a special tithe for the needy. God expected His people to hear the cries of the powerless, defend their rights, and care for them.

The Israelites were commanded to care for others as a remembrance of their experience in Egypt. When they were in trouble and cried out to God, He heard their cries and helped them. So their memory of oppression and release was intended to mold their values, attitudes, and actions toward the powerless in the land (Deut. 24:18-22).

Let us imitate our Father by hearing the cries of the needy in our world.

To love your neighbor as yourself
Is not an easy task,
But God will show His love through you
If only you will ask. —Sper

The closer you are to God, the more you’ll have a heart for others.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 28–30; Proverbs 24:23-34

[jaycee]

You are correct, Mayor.

They really make my blood boil sometimes.

They may as well get used to it, this country is in love with “Sassy Sarah”.

Good morning they are almost doll like.

[Lady Jag]

Have you heard cats snoring? Except for big ol’ Mama who you could hear across the room, you have put your ear pretty close to a cat to hear that sweet sound.

Morning, GeeBee!

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning Lady Jag! Aw, their snoring must sound so cute. My dog snores from time to time. She's pretty loud though. ;)

I hope this works. This is so adorable and amazing. Lullaby at bedtime puts these pups to sleep. :)
