Tonight, we pray for that courage. We pray for the people of the Gulf. And we pray that a hand may guide us through the storm towards a brighter day. Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

And we pray that A HAND may guide us through the storm towards a brighter day.

I have never heard a Christian prayer for guidance from a hand.

On the other hand, if you do an internet search of the words, hand and allah, you will see that the hand is very important in Islam.

The right hand is a reflection of Allah. Muslims find his name written in the shape of the right hand, in the lines on the palm, in the veins on the back of the hand. The symbol of the hand is revered. There is a star cluster that looks like a raised hand and many Muslims look at it as an indication of the return of the Mahdi. If you Google the words be sure to look at the images associated with those words.

I think I’ll stick with Adam Smith’s “Invisible Hand”!

He thinks the hand will point toward the right “a$$ to kick.”

Of course, that won’t stop the leak or clean up the mess, but he’ll find it emotionally gratifying, and self-esteem building.

Barkin’ up the wrong tree. The “Hand of Fatima” is a symbol of religious tolerance by the few Muslims who wish peaceful coexistance with Jews. It’s not like he showed the soles of his shoes in public.

Um...perhaps he was referring to the hand of God? Just a thought.

Rev. 13

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their RIGHT HAND, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The hand will write on the wall: Mene Mene Tekel Uparshin. “Your administration has been weighed and it comes up short.”
