Thank you!
Hmm...
Anger, Sorrow
We let them come in peace
Let them into our lives.
Why do they hurt us?
How can they justify?
They killed 3,000 souls that day
Faces all with family ties
Loved ones,
Died.
A blur of faces caused this rift
A single man sent those men
and he won't stop till we stop him
that bastard's gonna die.
He may not have pulled the trigger
Nor did he have to give the order
he may have just sat there gloating
while loved ones' corpses lay there bloating.
He claims my loved ones died for cause
how dare he claim them for his own
They died without a warning
they died that grim September morning.
Now we have him on the run
We won't stop until we are done
We'll chase him through all the lands
Till we catch him,
or his blood is on our hands.
-Roy Hall, 2004
My day before election prayer.
Oh Heavenly Father, thank you for the countless blessings you have bestowed upon us all. Only through Your Word and Your Guidance do we receive the bounties of Your Love.
Please guide my hand and the hands of all your humble servants in selecting the earthly leader of our nation in tomorrow's election.
Please help us to understand Your Will through the outcome, and please bless this nation and the world in these trying times with Your Love and Mercy.
Through our humble prayers we seek Your Will and do Your Work here on earth.
Amen
Read: Jeremiah 17:1-10
He shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river. —Jeremiah 17:8
Bible In One Year: Jeremiah 24-26; Titus 2
In the summer of 1992, a fire blackened 4,500 acres of forest about 35 miles north of Atlantic City. One homeowner saw a fireball with 60-foot flames come roaring up across the street from his house, before veering away. The Associated Press quoted him as saying, "I've worked 25 years of my life here. The thought of having it gone in 10 minutes makes you want to stay for the last possible minute."
The fire was difficult to contain because of dry conditions. The forest was dry despite rainfall, partly because of an insect called the pine looper, which defoliates trees.
The dry-tree condition behind this New Jersey fire has a parallel in the history of Israel. Jeremiah said that his countrymen had become like dry shrubs in a desert rather than green trees by a river (17:6-8). Even more alarming, he said they had aroused the fire of God's anger (v.4) by trusting in man and departing from the Lord (v.5). For Christians today, it's life's fiery trials that threaten to scorch our souls if we're trusting in our own strength.
Father, forgive us for making ourselves dry and leafless. Without Your mercy, we would be consumed when the heat comes. Teach us to root ourselves in the river of Your sufficiency. —Mart De Haan
Amen!

Thank you for the morning patriotic inspiration! Good morning :) Hope we can stay calm two more days until this is over and President Bush has won.
About 20 homeschoolers went out and waved Bush signs in heavy Jax traffic for an hour. We got over 200 honks, lots of thumbs up, waves and smiles. We got around 4 thumbs down and one lady shook her head no and someone yelled "Bush Sucks". LOL
Anyway, the exciting thing was the number of black drivers who honked and gave us a thumbs up (dozens of them). It was an exciting thing to see and experience. I think we're making progress with black voters, Lord willing.
We're going back out at 3:00 to face the going home traffic. Keep your chins up. Florida looks good from Jacksonville, at least.
