Country First; God before Country; Prayer Works

From Vicki:

My Mom sent me an email forward about the 2008 election. As of late, we tend to be passing lots of these back and forth, trying to verify the validity of those in question, and reading in utter disbelief some of the ones that aren't in question.

This particular email cited 2 Samuel, Chapter 5, when David had just become the king of Israel and the Philistines waged war against him. And Isaiah 61 was in another paragraph. We the people, one nation under God, should read these words and listen to God's instructions to David. When something seems impossible, it doesn't always have to be.

The United States of America was founded on Christian principles by prayerful people. There are still plenty of us in the United States today. When we hear the little sound that tells us to pray then and there, to pray hard for God to show us mercy in this upcoming election, we should listen and drop to our knees in prayer and thanksgiving for what we already have. We should then pray for God to keep our blessed country a special place in this world. We should pray for Him to provide the best choice on Tuesday as the leader of our great country. Prayer helps when something seems impossible.

I do believe John McCain and Sarah Palin love our country and will serve we the people to the utmost of their abilities. Would you be willing to die for your country? John McCain has already answered that question. He's not perfect, but who is? He loves the United States of America and we've already seen him serve it with honor and respect. Country First. That's enough for me.
