Thanks! Time to get serious. But, sadly, will it do any good for this country? I would think that the prayer/fasting would have to be done a large scale, not by just a handful of Christians, here and there. Isn't that how God operates?

I believe the critical mass is something along the lines of what God was interested in when he told Abraham? Lot? I forget, that He'd save the city if 10 righteous people were found in it. I don't think they needed to be found in the same house or small group etc.

God is interested in heart attitudes and sacrificial servant-hearted service acted out earnestly in relationships and daily life. I think He is quite capable of judging if the critical mass has reached sufficient proportions for His Love to be allowed to insure that His justice is adjusted in timing or severity of reaping what we've sown; discipline etc.

That reminds me. I'm praying Bush doesn't talk about wanting or the U.S. wanting or needing justice. We don't want anything close to justice. We'd be worse than on our faces in sackcloth and ashes if we thought we'd be getting a fraction of the justice we deserve in this land. . . . if only for our arrogance alone, not to mention the greed, infantacide, selfishness, violence, abuse of one another and poor people in various places, abuse of native Americans, daily giving God the finger in millions of rebellious, independent lives for decades etc. etc. etc. Justice we don't need.

We need mercy in infinite proportions. We might consider where we need to extend it privately and corporately. I think prayers along those lines in all of this would be very wise and helpful.
