New Year Musings...

There are bitter sweet memories today as I think on our new year and all the coming changes. President Bush said his farewell speech last night. And President-elect Obama will take office next Tuesday.

For those that know me, they know how Doug and I feel about the election. We are conservative Reagan Repulicans. So when it was clear who was winning the election on Nov 4th, we were both very disheartened. But we had to realize that we cannot put our faith in the government. We MUST only put our faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

I received an e-mail that I want to share with you. I don't know where it came from but I really liked it:

No Matter Who Won the Election

1. The Bible will still have all the answers.
2. Prayer will still work.
3. The Holy Spirit will still move.
4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people.
5. There will still be God-anointed preaching.
6. There will still be singing of praise to God.
7. God will still pour out blessings upon His people.
8. There will still be room at the Cross.
9. Jesus will still love you.
10. Jesus will still save the lost when they come to Him.


GOD IS IN CONTROL!

I also want to post the lyrics to an old song by Twila Paris that are quite powerful

This is no time for fear

This is a time for faith and determination

Don't lose the vision here

Carried away by emotion

Hold on to all that you hide in your heart

There is one thing that has always been true

It holds the world together

God is in control

We believe that His children will not be forsaken

God is in control

We will choose to remember and never be shaken

There is no power above or beside Him, we know

God is in control, oh God is in control

History marches on

There is a bottom line drawn across the ages

Culture can make its plan

Oh, but the line never changes

No matter how the deception may fly

There is one thing that has always been true

It will be true forever

He has never let you down

Why start to worry now?

He is still the Lord of all we see

And He is still the loving Father

Watching over you and me

watching over you...watching over me..

watching over every things..watching over you..

watching over me..every little sparrow..every little things...

God Bless Everyone and God Bless America!
