FR Live Thread: Bush Kerry - First Debate - Thread 2 - Here we go!

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Lord, Thy word says that if Thy people which are called by Thy name will humble themselves and pray and seek Thy face, then Thou wilt hear from heaven and heal their land.

Lord, we have been humbled by our sins as a nation, yet we seek Thy face tonight on behalf of Thy servant, George. Give him clarity. Grant him wisdom. Allow him to sense Thy grace and peace. According to Thy will, let him find favor in the eyes of the people of this land, like Joseph found favor in the land of Egypt.

May all the devices of those who promote unrighteousness be brought to nought. May the candidates that promote their wicked agenda be frustrated in their attempts to find favor with the people of this land.

Lord, we know the great privilege of our republican form of government, handed to us by godly men. Yet we also know that Thou art the one who truly raises up rulers and casts them down. What a blessing, O Jehovah, that we might in the end, rest and trust in Thee and Thy goodness.

In Jesus' blessed name we pray, Amen

Moderator is now asking the audience to not participate in the debates by clapping or booing. We'll see how well the Dems keep to the rules of modern civilizations.

You words brought back what a dear friend told me a few years ago, when I was worrying about my daughter flying during her basketball season. I've never flown, and every trip that she went on was horrible for me.

She said, "If you pray, don't worry..and if you worry, don't pray". As a worrier by nature, that's a difficult one for me to live by. Thanks for reminding me how important that is.

Hey, someone post that MAD debate link. That was good for a couple laughs. Man, that guy sounded exactly like Bush.

[Fishtalk]

We're going to sit down together and he's going to get an awful doggone good lesson in Civics tonight by watching the debate.

Granddaughter is almost a year old. Can't wait to sit down with her and watch the debates, monitor our country's elections, that sort of thing.

Tell me how it goes.
