Pray for our President!

I just heard on the News about a "Baptist" "Preacher" in Arizona who preached a message titled, "Why I hate Barrack Obama". He mentioned how he'd like to see the President die somehow, preferrably by brain cancer. How sick is that?!?! I have met this so called preacher before, and he only preached his opinion. He does not preach the Gospel. I did not want to attend his "church" (aka cult) that night (in December 2008) but I had promised one of my friends young daughter that I would go. So, I only went to fulfill my promise. This "preacher" does not like my Pastor or any other well respected man of God that I know, so he treated me kindly at 1st, but when he heard who my Pastor is, he turned his back and walked away from me and did not speak to me the rest of the night. Not very mature. Anyway, there's a bunch of hoopla in the news about this man and I started thinking about how wrong he is. I don't like Obama myself, but I would NEVER wish death on him. Especially because Obama is not saved. He needs salvation. I think it's horrible that any person would wish someone would go to Hell. I am guilty of not praying like I should for this President. I was thinking on some Scriptures after hearing what that man said and I thought, we need to PRAY! 1 Timothy 2:1-4 says "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." God wants us to pray for our leaders, he isn't willing that any should perish. If Obama was to get saved, that could lead to revival in America! Oh, how wonderful it would be to see revival. But, revival begins with us Christians. We need to PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Also in Romans 13:1-2 says "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power, but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation." The Bible makes it very clear that we are to be subject to our authorities. The "powers that be are ordained of God". God allowed Obama to be the President. We may not understand why, but He knows why. So, my hope, is that through all of this, we will be more aware and pray more for the President of the United States of America. We still are, at least for now, the greatest nation! God bless America!

God's goodness!

God is sooooo good! I am so happy! Three weeks ago, my mother got saved! What a blessing to me and what a huge relief! I have been praying for her salvation for about 18 years! I'm still praying for the salvation of the rest of my family, but I am just so overjoyed that my mother is now also my "sister" in Christ! I had a nice trip to Texas to visit with my friend. We went to a rose garden, swimming in a lake, to an aligator park, the zoo and of course, church. It was humid, but otherwise, nice weather. I'm glad to be back in San Diego though. It's 77 degrees today and there's a nice breeze! No need for A.C. or anything. I am so blessed! Truly, I am. So are you if you're saved. We serve a God Who answers prayers and still works miracles! Thank you so much, Lord, for all You have done for me!
