"the god of our many understandings"

Please make sure you note the title of this blog. You will hear that sentence at President-elect Mr. O.'s preliminary prayer at the mass event at the Lincoln Memorial by Bishop Robinson. "The Idol of our many understandings" the openly-homosexual Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire will open the event with prayer so Mr. O. can continue to be politically correct and appease his many activists and their allies by supporting Proposition 8 in California. Mr. O's committee expressed concern that many were angry that Rick Warren will deliver the invocation at the ceremony and "at the same time, we understand that people in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgenders community have been somewhat wounded by this choice, and it's our hope that our selection will go a long way to heal these divides." The event at Lincoln Center will be a huge opening rally featuring major entertainment figures and a mass gathering on the mall. Bishop Robinson is one of the most controversial figures in the entire history of the Episcopal Church. Bishop Robinson is quoted in The New York Times:

Bishop Robinson said that he had been reading inaugural prayers through history and was "horrified" at how "specifically and aggressively Christian they were" "I am very clear," he said "that this will not be a Christian prayer, and I won't be quoting Scripture or anything like that. The texts that I hold as sacred are not sacred texts for all Americans, and I want all people to feel that this is their prayer". Bishop Robinson said he might address the prayer to "the God of many understandings" language that he said he learned from a 12-step program he attended for his alcohol addition.

Besides the PC of prayer deliverance, Mr. O's estimated inaugural expense will topple $150M, the largest, most extravagant inauguration in history. If you ask any person in your church, office, grocery store how they feel about the new President, their answer is usually "history in the making" or "I hope he is successful". My answer is this: Don't close your eyes, stay educated about Mr. O's policies....please, pray as you feel led, but stay awake and don't let him fool you.

By the way, you can now announce that you are gay, openly when you join the military. My son called his Dad tonight to say that what this will do is weaken the military as we know it. There is no turning back to change this new law now. Glenn also said something very interesting. He said that in order to take our country into socialism you must socialize the military first. The first two things that Mr. O. will do is (1) close "Gitmo" (2) neutralize the gay military issue. Closing "Gitmo" is a slap to the military who work in that prison, protect the terrorists in that prison and ensure that those terrorists are not free to plan another attack. Gay military? Will we need to build new barracks specifically for openly gay military, men and women? How do we address this issue on the battlefield? Sexual harrassment issues when that individual thinks their "rights" have not been met?

I can't watch the inaugural, I just can't. I will continue to watch "What Not to Wear" on TLC, Mystery Diagnosis or Baby Story....I'll read my newest book by Beth Moore and I will stay in prayer most of the day about our great United States of America.
