If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
Mark,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Christian Democrat
obama is leading america away from god's way. we have never been in more danger. everything i believe in has been taken away.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - if Obama took everything you believe in just by being elected President, I truly feel sorry for you. I have never seen such a weak individual
ReplyDeleteAmerica is about freedom. There is life and issues outside of a 2,000 year old prophet.
Palin in 2012!
ReplyDeleteDear anonymous....I don't see that our nation has been following Jesus' example for quite some time....maybe our new president will help us all to open our eyes and see that maybe we've had a rather narrow and self-centered view of what "God's way" is. My prayer is that he will, by his example, encourage and inspire all of us to live with humility, integrity, compassion and cooperation as citizens not just of this nation but of this earth.
ReplyDeleteWe all know the story of Moses and at the end how the rainbow shows his peace.
ReplyDeleteIn a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace.
The rainbow is a sign of hope, peace for tomorrow, and that all colors may join hands united in that hope.
Drawing close to one another in bringing that hope not only to ours but once again to the world.
That is our lead and this is our hope.
Sorry about Moses I meant Noah, my apologies
ReplyDeleteREGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME WE NEED TO PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS IT SADDENS ME TO THINK AS CHRISTAINS WE CAN BE SO NARROW MINDED THAT WE LOSE OUR FOCUS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT.LOOK WE NEED TO RESPECT THE NEW PRESIDENT HE HAS A TUFF JOB TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THIS MESS WE HAVE GOTTEN OURSELFS INTO. LOOK YOU HAVE TO ADMIRE MR.OBAMA HOW MANY OF US WOULD WANT A JOB LIKE THIS ( TWO WARS,ROTTEN ECONOMY, CONFIDENCE IN OUR LEADERS AT AN ALL TIME LOW)JUST REMEMBER IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE HILLARY COULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED.
ReplyDeleteSome of us feel Hillary would have been a much better choice.
ReplyDeleteWould you like it if I said...
It could have been much worse, it could have been Hucklebee or even worse, Palin?
Where's the respect you were just talking about?
Are we Evangelicals or Pharisees?
ReplyDeleteGreat point, Dale (and Mark, as this was your original message)....no matter who we chose to vote for--or not vote for--it is our responsibility to pray for our leaders. This is not a mere suggestion or an option.
ReplyDeleteNo matter who won the election, we all need to remember that Jesus Christ our Lord is still on the throne, and will govern as He always does... with power, grace and love. Hope, I agree with you. It is our duty to pray for our leaders.
ReplyDeleteHope,
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you. It is our responsibility to pray for ALL our leaders.
It is also our responsibility to respect anyone who would want to take on the horrific task of being a leader in today's society of politics.
How about trying to find something good to say about each of them instead of being sarcastic?
I personally did not want McCain as my President. But, if he had won, I know he would have done his best, and I would have respected him as my leader.
DALE-TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. A WOMAN COULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED. SARAH!
