See You At The Pole

Amen to that too Bill. Our church is active in that too. It really gives me hope.
i love the sihouette and the color of the sky :)
Wouldn't it be nicer to pray for our WORLD, rather than just one country?
Susan, actually, I respectfully disagree. While it is a nice sentiment, what does God do with a request to make the world a nicer place? Praying for our leaders to make wise and moral decisions is a tough enough request. But going past that, sometimes bigger is not always better. I suspect if everyone would start praying for their families and neighbors, the entire world would be well served. I am just impressed that high school kids would make the effort at all.

I suppose the same things he does with other requests.
More important than to pray for anyone is to actually DO for others.
Anonymous: Having been on receiving end of countless blessings that could have only come from God, I will disagree with the implications of the second sentence. As for the ending thought, I agree that doing things for people is very important, and I put my actions and money where my keyboard is at in this case, but I would take issue with the relative importance you place on the two items. Something tells me you won't like today's post (10/18/07) :)
On a side note, I have had a number or interesting discussions with anonymous posters, and have decided to disallow anonymous posting on this blog. I like knowing who I am talking to when the comments get interesting.
