What should we pray about today?

Psalm 100

1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.

3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

What’s news today?

I’m not even close to caught up on current events. So you guys keep the open thing going.

___________________________________________

But I did notice just a couple that jumped out at me.

From The Hill

“Some lawmakers are relieved that leadership is punishing members who had badmouthed the party and defected on high-profile votes. Boehner and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had attracted criticism for being too genial.

A veteran Republican lawmaker, speaking on background last year, told The Hill, “You can’t talk tough to somebody and there be no consequences … people need to be made an example in some way.”

The Mr. Nice Guy management style appears to be over. One lawmaker quipped that Boehner is now “almost DeLay-like.””

I got 5 bucks says Boehner’s gettin’ ready to roll over like a good dog, and he can’t have dissenters pointing out what a bad idea that would be. Oh well, debt limits and fiscal responsibility are only for us commoners anyway.  Just print some more worthless money, that should do the trick. It’s time Republicans in the House remove him as Speaker, before he does something stupid. Or should I say stupider.

And this one, from ZeroHedge

“Why would President Obama willingly choose to go over the fiscal cliff?”

“The use of economic pain to expand governmental control of a nation is not a new concept. It has been a tool successfully used many times in history.  With an economy that is currently dependent on financial support from the government the only “bad guys” in this situation are those trying to take that support away.

The reality that “taxing the wealthy” does not increase revenue or promote economic growth is lost on the 80% of Americans that are economically uninformed and are just struggling to maintain their current standard of living.  In their world the cost of living keeps going up while the personal incomes have declined.  For the bulk of America it still remains “Bush’s” fault that their current situation is not as good as it was once, regardless of their personal irresponsibility, and the Democratic media machine will effectively point the finger of blame squarely at the Republicans.

The path over the “fiscal cliff” is bad for the economy, the average American family and the stock market.  However, for the White House, going over the “cliff” is the next move in this elaborate game of chess which will clear the path towards completing Obama’s long term objectives of complete socialization of the American economy.”

Once again, don’t blame me, I voted for Mitt.

Prayer Requests 12-5-12

What should we pray about today?

John 14:1-6

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Prayer Requests 12-4-12

Do you have a request or praise to share?

John 15:1-5 KJV

1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Prayer Requests 12-3-12

What should we pray about today?

Psalm 23

1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

I just love this Psalm.
