Where Right is Wrong and Evil Parades in the Streets
What is the world coming to? (Did any of your parents or grandparents ever say this?)
Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize? Is this an incredible joke or what? I am speechless and frustrated and angry. Skimming some of the news reports for some semblance of reason, I see comments about how the Committee awarded this prize prematurely and must be trying to encourage Obama to "continue" doing what he is doing and that he has brought so much hope to the world, a new aura of hope for the future of world peace, and they want him to continue....etc. He has done NOTHING. Nothing but alienate the people, increase our burdens, support legislature to take away our freedoms... Unbelieveable! Since when do we give a prestigious award to someone we "HOPE" will bring about something good?!! That is crazy! (Not that I have much or any respect for these Nobel Prizes as I consider the winners the last few years--Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela...) I am just aghast and want to try and express this churning sickness in the pit of my stomach as I watch what is happening all around us. Did the TenBoom family feel this way? Life just going along as normal in the family arena, making a living, feeding the children, going shopping, regular every day things, and yet all these unreal and crazy events happening. It's like I'm on the top of a wave, being swept along, no control over decisions my "representatives" (who are only representing themselves) are doing. Don't criticize anybody unless he is a Christian; you might be put in jail. I sound paranoid, but I have to wonder if my eyes are just being opened. It's like people all around are in some sort of trance, drinking the poisoned koolaid because Big Brother tells them to, believing and buying the lies, just don't take away my soma in my brave new world. Whew! Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I know our God is in control; I don't doubt that. I pray He shows me what my role day to day is in all this. May He have mercy on us all and give us His wisdom. I am still aghast.

I know it is lame to comment on my own blog, but a couple other thoughts that I failed to get out: 1. It's like awarding an Olympic gold medal before a race to someone with absolutely no chance to win because you "hope" he will win...(credit goes to my son for expressing what I was thinking but couldn't come up with the words.)
2. Obama is not helping world peace; he is making this a more dangerous world for good people as he appeases the evil doers and grants the tyrants more power to do harm! What a farce!and how demeaning to people like Mother Teresa and Lech Walensa (sp, sorry).
3. More and more I see how nothing MEANS anything any more; people "giving their word" is a joke because they can always renege and suffer no consequences, the gov't backing financila institutions means nothing; noble deeds go unrewarded while bad is touted as something to celebrate.

Me again! PSALM 9! Wow! I just finished reading it and it is so perfect (why am I surprised!) I should post the whole thing. Praise the Lord forever and ever. Amazing love. Reaches even me.
Ditto! When Andy told me about the Nobel Peace Prize going to Obama, I thought he was telling a joke and waited for the punch line!
I had not seen the news for a while, so I had no idea that Obama had been awarded the Nobel Prize. That just makes me sick to my stomach. Absolutely unbelievable. But I agree with you that we need to rest in His arms, because in the end He King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Really, He makes peace with us, who do not deserve it. I miss you friend!
Ah Sue....you always say what's on my mind in the same words I want to say. I agree with everything here!
