Oh Jaycee, I share your sentiments. I think the sad face graphic pretty much says it all. I am devastated that our prayers were answered with a big NO!

(hugs)

Polly, my sister in Christ, I mourn with you, and also grapple to find the “why” in the denial of our heartfelt prayers for mercy on our sinful nation. Around one A.M. when I finally fell into bed, I began to consider The Rapture. Israel will now need to pre-emptively defend itself alone, without the gov’t of the country we live in (formerly known as America)supporting Israel, but still the place where so many of us love Israel and her people and will always support her. I see a big Biblical picture now. This is God’s will, to bring about the end and The Rapture. I gladly await it.

“Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me. And that Thou bidst me come to Thee. O Lamb of God I come, I come.”

This I sang through tears last night in bed repeatedly until I could only cry for my lost country. Our heavenly home waits for us, our places prepared by our Lord Jesus whom I trust without any question.

(hugs)

emphasis ...

“O Lord, my God, may Your Word become so
much a part of me that obedience comes
naturally and cheerfully from my heart.
Change me and mold me into Your image.
Let God’s Word fill your memory, rule your heart,
and guide your life.”

Father help us to know Thee and be pleasing to Thee, in Jesus name, amen.

Hugs backatcha, LTOS.

This is a difficult day to come online and try to be upbeat. I’m on a real downer today. I promise that I will try to improve my mood by tomorrow.

I’m trying to decide whether to move to Texas or New Zealand. LOL

TCP, I couldn't help but tear up again as I read your beautiful post.

It was well into the night hours before I finally fell asleep.
I begged God to just hold me in His powerful Arms and take away all the thoughts that were whirling through my mind.

You are absolutely right on. We are facing the Rapture and should be rejoicing.

I too cried in the night for Israel.She will need to forge ahead without our aid.

It may very well be that we will suffer much before our Lord's return.

I could not stop singing this hymn this morning.

O safe to the Rock that is higher than I,
My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly;
Alone I would perish, undone would I be;
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.

Refrain: Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.

In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow’s lone hour,
In times when temptation casts o’er me its pow’r;
In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving sea,
Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.

How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,
I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe;
How often, when trials like sea billows roll,
Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul.

Dear Polly, I can’t seem to stop crying. All day, on and off. I mourned in 2008 too, but really had no idea what was ahead of us. We all know what we’re in for with last night’s outcome. I feel there was massive fraud, both in dem voters and with manipulation of voting machines. I mean widespread machine fraud. There is no way Hussein won this fairly. They ramped up the fraud bigtime, because they saw what The TEA Party did in 2010. The dems committed more fraud than ever before. Most disheartening to know that no matter how the righteous vote, the evil dark side will nullify that. They know we don’t do what they do, and they use it against us. True evil. It’s everywhere. This fallen world. Lucifer and his demons are rejoicing.

I am going to find websites from Israel and start keeping up with their local news. I will pray for Israel like I pray for my family and friends in need or those who are still blinded to The Word of God and not saved. It’s urgent that we gather all possible saved souls before the end of this world comes. So many are not saved. We must be more bold than ever in sharing The Good News with everyone we know that is not saved.

Re: your song,,,,I also thought of that hymn this morning as I asked God to hide me in the cleft of the rock.

(hugs)

What a comfort. God’s promise of a rainbow.
Yes, the days ahead are uncertain, but God will not make us walk a path that He doesn’t walk right there with us!!

Today, when I awoke, my very soul was hurting.
I needed some reassuring Gospel Music.
I will share some with you, and pray you find some peace in the music and the words.
May each of us keep our eyes and hearts on Him.....
And, may G-d Bless us all!

Amazing that we are all looking to our precious Savior and listening to the hymns today.

No problem, Polly.

Potlatch ... first, I've been remiss; please accept my condolences, friend. You have been in my prayers. Your airplane graphic is great. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Jaycee ... your graphic in 257 was wonderful. It seemed to capture something special in Romney’s expression. Your sad little graphic in 296 is perfect! I'm sure we will all feel better in a couple of days but it is going to be very rough for a few days.

Conor .... from yesterday ... I joined you in voting out of love for our country. Also, thank you for sharing our Tuesday children.

Dave .... The results that you are cancer-free made Tuesday an awesome day. You have been and will continue to be in my prayers. Hugs to You and Linda.

Polly ...I was also a nervous wreck last night. It was difficult to stay confident while listening to reports of voter fraud. With God's help, we all need to work to restore our country to her former self.

Yorkie ... it is definitely a test of our Faith to watch what is happening to our great nation. After the election outcome became clear, I could not find words to post for what I felt ... then I remembered my crying dog graphic. :>}
Your links to the Gospel Music was perfect today. Thank you for providing the links for us.

SJB .... The MSM has been an unelected branch of government for some time. How can they in good conscience ignore the murder of the 4 Americans in Libya?

Mayor ... thank you for being here every morning with substance for our souls.

TCP ... I don't understand why the Repubs ignore all of the rule violations and the fraud that is committed against them. I could not believe the big mural of Obama in the polling place. Did you see the great job they did of covering it? How could that have been legal?

LTOS .... thanks for the Hugs. I think we all need hugs today.

Kitty ... thank you for the rainbow and the promise of brighter days ahead. Knowing that Jesus Christ is with us on this journey will lighten our days and bring us His Blessings.

Hugs and prayers for all!
