Peace on Earth

God’s Word tells us that there will always be wars and rumors of wars until Christ Himself returns. In my 40-year lifetime, there have been PLENTY of wars and conflicts involving the military branches of the US. We now find ourselves locked into a battle halfway around the world, and things are not going well. What will we do?

To many, the President is to blame. Every day I read articles that bash him, make him seem foolish, second guess him, paint him as if he is a puppet atop the knee of Dick Cheney in Saturday Night Live style . . . As Rodney Dangerfield would blurt, “No respect, no respect at all.”

From someone who votes for the candidate, and not the party, it looks to me like both parties are setting each other up to fail, and our President is more of a target than a cause. He is in the center of it, being atop the power pyramid of Washington, and will naturally take blame and abuse. Is he an idiot? No, he is not. I met him six years ago at the church (seriously). He is a brilliant man, but in the most difficult job in the world. And, as far as the Iraqi conflict goes, I don’t have the answer and I am honestly unsure what the answer is. I just pray about it.

How about you?? Have you prayed for our troops? Have you prayed for our President? Have you prayed for peace on Earth?
