History has shown this kind of erroneous thinking to be deadly to peace over and over again. All I can say is that I hope that America did not pressure this stupid eviction. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Bullies do not show mercy to their victims. No bully ever ran away from its victim while it cowered in the corner. Unfortunately when you have people whose hearts are filled with hatred and bitterness fueled by ignorance there can be no peace. The only choice is to fight against those who ruthlessly murder and oppress to restrain evil and protect innocent people. And then, there still can't be peace until every heart changes and lays down, hatred, bitterness and ignorance for truth. I know that some day there will be peace but it will take divine intervention. Until then the only choice is to fight the bully, terrorist oppresors. That goes right to the heart of the matter. In the end its a spiritual matter. In then end, the only peace I can have today is in my heart. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Pray for the baby, Moshe. Father, I ask that you would surround little Moshe with your loving kindness. That your peace which passes understanding would guard his heart and his mind. That your holy presence would be with him and comfort him in this loss. Father I ask that you would go now to those in Moshe's family who are left and comfort them with your peace that passes understanding. Lord may a line of fire from heaven surround Moshe and his family and may no evil walk past that line of fire to touch this child or his family in Jesus name. Father, may a line of fire from heaven surround Jerusalem and Israel and your peace be poured out to comfort those who have been terrorized by people who dont even know them. Father, please protect them in Jesus name. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I have alot of hope. Maybe I am in denial. I believe Obama really wants a unified country. If he will stay cetrist instead of too far to the left we will be allright. It will be hard I am sure. We need to pray for him. In spite of what has happened I am at peace about it. He is our president. We really dont know enough about him but we are about to find out. God is sovereign. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Obama will not support Israel when Israel needs us. Sarah Palin has more experience than Obama. She is a good decent woman who has achieved alot more than Obama. It is so sad the prejudice against this woman. She is a strong supporter of Israel. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Its actually Hosea 4:6-12. I have been up since 4:00 a.m. I brought my 28 year old daughter with me to vote. We were there by 5:36 a.m. She said "Mom, there had better be a line." Our polls open at 6:00 a.m. There were already 10 people ahead of us. There were only three machines. When we left at 6:15 a.m., the line stretched from the cafeteria in the school all the way out the door down the sidewalk. The parking lot was so jammed with cars it was difficult to leave. Sincerely, Mary Knight 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I don't believe the polls. There are millions of people in America - very quiet people who are awake now. I think this election is going to have the biggest vote anyone has ever seen. I for one am praying that those quiet ones will make the difference. Hosea 3:6-12, reminds me of America. We will get the government we vote for. I am praying that even though America does not deserve mercy that the Lord will be merciful anyway. Woe unto America if it turns its back on Israel. I believe that Obama will not support Israel based upon all of his associations. But that wont be the only damage he causes. Sincerely, Mary Knight 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
