Tags: Prayer List
Bless You Goddess.
Thank you Goddess for the list. Brady, who was on the last prayer list, no longer needs our prayers but the family he left behind certainly do. So please include them, and all others who suffer inconceivable loss, in our prayers.
Goddess, it is sure nice to have people like you and the rest of this blog.
I would like to add one Name on your prayer list:
The United States Of America
After last nights vote in the house we are all going to need prayers.
Thank you, Goddess, for the prayer list. Could you please add our beloved country, the United States of America, to the list? In view of the looming disasters on the horizon, prayers are desperately needed. Thank you.
We all will need our god to get this next few months. I hope that the old adage of “If God stands with us, who can oppose us?” is true.
In my 50 some years as a viable thiking adult I have never seen anything like what we are going through now..it is downright scary.
Philippians 4:6-7 “Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God: and the peace of God, which surpassing all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
@ Conservative Democrat:
This morning, when I found out that this atrocity had passed the House, my thoughts about Pelosi and the others who rammed this through were such that had I voiced them publicly, I would be banned from The Blogmocracy for life.

This is from the previous post, I thought it should be posted on a newer post for all to see. after I read the bad news I decided to go to opencongress,com and find out what the actual tally was. It is good to see a lot of “Democrats” in “against” aisle but very sad to see one RINO in the for side.
Thank you Goddess. Our friends Tony and Amy have found their house and just moved in.Many thanks!
Yeah, me also…my wife thought I came downstairs and found someone in the house the way I was carring on!

Perhaps the root of our current problems is that we, as a nation, have made “God” the unspeakable word and portayed believers in Him as simpletons and fools.
Perhaps we’re being “slapped around” in order to remind us that our prosperity and good fortune has ultimately flowed from Him, and we are not to forget the role that He plays in the continuation of that prosperity.
Love the prayer list.

This is very true, I really hope that the “God forgive them, they know not what they do” is applicable here. I also think the lack of ANY diety of our lives have lead us down this path. I as a non practicing Catholic, have decided to ammedd my ways and vow to return to the church. I really think all of us need to get back to our basics and include our religion in our daily lives.
That and learn how to defend yourself! //sarc
This is nice. What potus thinks of patriotic dissent.
Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized Mr. Owens election and then posed a question to the other lawmakers. According to Representative Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.”
say a prayer indeed

(2 Chronicles 7:14)
if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

GODDESS— Thank you so much.
Please add RedneckNaRocknRollBar to the list. He (or she?)has been looking for you to ask that his (her?) name be on the list. The problem is either nerve damage on one side of the brain or epilepsy. The docs aren’t exactly sure yet, so I guess ‘neurological problems’ will have to do for now.
And I second the motion to add the United States of America to the list.

Bravo, Sarah! You go, girl! And why is she carrying all the water on this? Where are the GOP leaders? Only Michelle Bachman seemed to be doing anything in Congress. Our Senators seem to be out to lunch, so far. I am scared spitless what mischief the GOP “hands across the aisle” clique will get up to.
I am curious to know how many wavering Dems voted for this horror because of the Stupak Amendment. Too bad because imho this was all a cynical ruse as abortion will most certainly be covered in the final product. Guaranteed. Rs have been had again.
tfk has a prayer
I pray for the day when one one of the msm will invited Dan Rather on to spread more lies.
But ABC and George Stupidoctupus the Clinton commie enabler has Dan the liar man on just now Texas time. I flipped the channel on, then
flipped them both off. Went to the local Fox channel and they have
the NFL pregame show on from Iraq with the troops.

OMG. If ANY of you are on my FB page and see ignorant shit from any of my liberal friends, please feel free to start a troll roast. PLEASE. One tool just posted this after I linked the AT piece from upthread regarding Islam.
Its my page idiot. don’t read it. But I wish someone would jump in and help me roast him. He doesn’t even make sense.
Reid’s already on thin ice in Nevada, and coming up in ’10. If he tries this nuclear option maneuver, he’s as good as out. I wonder if Obama already has a cabinet position picked out for him, and he’s going to go splody for the cause?

That’s been out of style for years.
That kind of blather is easy to deconstruct. It all boils down to: “everybody look at me, I’m smarter and nicer than you”.

The worst part about it is the condescending way they put things. Just pisses me off.
@ bellamags:
That’s the whole point. In order to pose as smarter and more sanctimonious than you, they have to be condescending. That’s the entire point of their game. And it is a game. These are not serious people.
I don’t FB so I don’t know, but if it’s possible, I’d just do a Johnson on the dweeb.

No one, so far as I know, except for a co-worker, and I disposed of the pwd she gave me in a fit of housecleaning. OK — it was just a thought — I can see where it is impracticable.
@ vagabond trader:
The best way to position yourself to make lots of money from that it inside the new healthcare bureaucracy. I’m sure that They’ve already worked out that Dirty Harry gets to be head HC czar, and he’ll be kingmaker for the corporations involved. And he’ll start making huge amounts of money buying and selling penny stocks. You know how the game is played.
Thanks for the prayer list Goddess.
Love the Blogmocracy – freedom of religion indeed.
@ Gypsy:
Give me a few. I think I have a solution.
Since the beginning of our nation we have professed our faith in God and He has stood with us. I’m afraid now that we have a POTUS who has declared that we are no longer a Christian nation God has left our side. I can’t see any other reason for the evil that has been allowed to take over. I’ll keep praying to Him for our country and for all of those that Goddess has on the prayer list because miracles do happen and we all need one now.
This may seem like a strange thanksgiving, but the NFL has devoted today to the troops and are doing the best pregame show EVER right now in Afghanistan. so, I appreciate the NFL and the USA and all the sponsors who made this possible. The troops are loving it. And the hosts are so gracious to them. I’m sure this took a lot of hard work and planning from a large number of people too.
@ Conservative Democrat:
No such luck. Remember the purple Hamas fingers in 2006 and the carving up of Israel every recent POTUS continues to do.
@ Kirly:
the hosts are even playing some football with the troops!
they are doing all sorts of tributes and pre-recorded statements of aprpeciation from members of the NFL to the troops and little historical blurbs about their own family members who have served. It’s great.
@ Kirly:
that should read, I appreciate the NFL and the USO for doing this.
@ ms.p.henry:
imo, we (collectively, as a nation) have left God’s side. Look at the history of the UK. Remember, the sun never set on the British empire until her support of Israel waned. We will suffer the same fate. It’s in The Bible… I will bless him that blesses thee; I will curse him that curses thee.
@ Kirly:
I so believe this and we sure do have one at 1600 who not only curses Israel but his own nation.
@ Gypsy:
I tried, but failed. I have now emailed theblogmocracy and asked them to email you my email address.
@ vagabond trader:
yes, and the only people who can change it are folks like us. we have to overcome so much – ignorance of the populace who keep voting in the corrupt idiots (barney frank the pothead whore for one) and marxist, apathy of the populace who just don’t bother to vote or who think things like the public option HC will never affect them, voter fraud (which, imo, is rampant wherever voting by mail occurs and i will NEVER do that). i’m sure the list is huge. it’s quite daunting.
@ vagabond trader:
There is but one question [and a a follow up] for President Hussein of the United States of America.
No main-stream “religious” (MSR) leader bothers to ask him this simple question.

I bet someone posted this last night and you’ve all already seen it, but i just now saw it. Sarah Palins response to the passage of the bill last night.
@ waldensianspirit:
I got another one for the Prez: was Jesus African?
@ waldensianspirit:
He is not a Christian, nor do I believe him to be a Muslim, although he was obviously influenced by his early schooling in the cult. No, Hussein is a self loving atheistic creature, a perfect comrade.
@ snork:
Well, his pastor, the estimaable Rev. Wright, thinks so; he’s an exponent of the Black Identity movement form of “Christianity.”

Which implies replacement theology. If Jesus was African, then so were all the rest of the resident of Palestine, which means that the Jews are impostors.
Are all those Obama supporting Jews cool with that?

@ vagabond trader:
Eric Cantor is taking his tactical strategic planning from the Dems. Letting you opponents decide what your tactical strategic planning is amounts to either fratricide or imbecilic level stupidity.
Me, I’m keeping my eye on Sarah Palin who is telling the donks to shove their tactical strategic planning up their collective asses.

Cantor may be playing a game that will only become evident later. That 11th hour amendment he offered last night was pure political theater. Everyone knew it didn’t have a chance, but now, the Rs get to tell the seniors they tried to restore Medicare, and the Ds shot it down.
That’s going to leave a mark.

Still nothing in my mailbox, and I’ve gotta leave in a few minutes. I should be back late afternoon/early evening and I’ll check it out then. If the message is there, I’ll be in touch. BBL
@ waldensianspirit:
ROTFLMAO… The face is probably close, he was after all Jewish, but he was also a Carpenter so he probably wasnt 110lbs, and the Gospels suggest that he was of above average height, so the suggesting of him being 5’1″ is probably wrong as well. He was probably closer to 6’1″ and 220lbs. Also because he was a Galilean his hear was probably long, black and very curly.
@ waldensianspirit:
To quote Wright: “a Black man”.
I agree he probably was a lot more Middle Eastern than the white hippy depictions that the Europeans show, but he wasn’t black. Unless you want to buy this replacement theology stuff.
@ waldensianspirit:
you know, if that picture is representative of the folks who lived in the area at the time, then maybe Jesus did look similar to that picture. i agree that the blond, blue-eyed representations are not likely to be accurate. But, i don’t think what his eartthly body looked like is in the least bit important.
@ snork:
Oh there is no way he was a “effiminate white hippy”, that whole image was Roman propaganda. Remember, the Romans spread the rumor that his mother was a whore and his father was a Roman solider. It was one of their attempts to discredit him as the Messiah.
@ doriangrey:
opps… hear is suppose to be hair…
@ doriangrey:
yeah, i think your description is much more likely. The man was a carpenter in a time when it was 100% manual labor. He was strong. He also scared the bejeebers (no pun intended) out of the money changers when he turned over their tables so there is no way he was a puny 110 pounds.
@ Kirly:
As I said upthread, it’s relevant, because Jeremiah Wright claims that he was black. That’s ahistoric, and implies replacement theology, which Jews should have a major issue with.
@ Kirly:
Well moments before, the money changers probably looked like this
@ snork:
yes, i see your point and agree in that context. i was more addressing that his appearance isn’t really relevant to who/what he was/is/did.
@ waldensianspirit:
ROTFLMAO… I’d bet they look exactly like that…

Damn right!
Please don’t be sidetracked by what this bill means to our economy and future debt.
This bill will make YOUR Health (and therefore your LIFE/DEATH) decisions for you. Not your doctor, not your relatives (if you are incapacitated) but some nameless federal bureaucrat in an office far from accountability and oversight.
Even if you are young or remain healthy for a long time, this bill will seize your property and put you in jail if you do not comply with their funding demands and/or the coverage requirements MANDATED by this bill for having a plan to cover any future Health Care costs.
This is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and should be rebelled against out of hand. Regardless of whether something needs to be done about Health Care Costs, Coverage or the lack of some people to participate.
If the government can REQUIRE YOU TO PURCHASE INSURANCE FOR JUST BEING ALIVE then they can require you to PURCHASE OR DO ANYTHING THEY CAN PASS A BILL FOR.
This is totally in violation of the Spirit of the Founding of this Nation. Stand up regardless of the outcome of this bill in the Senate. We must make clear our displeasure and our power by voting the petty Tyrants that have attempted to USURP THE AUTHORITY OF THE CONSTITUTION AND OF THE PEOPLE. We must be ready to participate in outright rebellion if this passes. To not do so condemns our posterity to enslavement and destitution until the chains now being forged are finally cast off (and at what price?).
DO NOT pass this burden of tending to the tree of Liberty and Freedom
to our posterity. We must FIGHT NOW. To do anything else will condemn our generation to the jeers and disdain of HISTORY (if their is one for this Country) besides invoking a future of slavery and drudgery on our children.
Amen to the prayers
I’m sorry goddess……so late to this thread! I was awed to see they gave the prayer list a whole thread all to itself! Great!! I just finished lifting up each person on the list to before the Throne. Thank you so much for the privilege!
Thanks for the prayers. Very much needed. John’s (brother-in-law) memorial services were so hard to get through, but God’s presence was felt. My sister is slowing down some, now that the memorials have been held, which is starting to “freak [her] out”, as she says. She’s trying to get things cleared up with insurance, truck loans, school loans, etc. this week; my other sister and I would do that for her, but don’t want to take away the ever-shrinking sense of control over her life that she has left. My sisters and I have a hard time accepting help, especially when it is given freely.
I’m trying to keep myself from slipping into the familiar isolation-as-coping-mechanism which usually portends my depression surfacing. Telling myself it’s just a reaction to John’s suicide, but I don’t know.
Thank you again for those prayers, my sister (and John’s family) will need them desperately within the coming weeks and months.
@ daughter_of_eve:
Could you e-mail me (m h s a n d s at g m a i l dot c o m)? Mainly because I would so much like to have a first name as I pray……your nic brings to mind the first book in C. S. Lewis’ Narnia series….. : )
Thanks.
Will do.
Thanks.
