Inauguration Day!

So I started this morning in a good mood and got cranky walking across the parking lot. There was this car that pretty much ran me over with bumper stickers on it for Kerry/Edwards and "God is not a republican".... now I am well aware that God does not have a political party and probably 100% goes for some things that each party holds dearly. BUT it just annoys me that people view others as so closeminded and "godlike" just because we stand up for the morals that the Bible teaches. Of course, those same people can twist scripture to match what they want to believe as well. The sermon at my cuz's church on Sunday proved that one. (Ex. The highest percentage of pastors that have a biblical worldview are Southern Baptist is 71% while the lowest is United Methodist is 27%) Now I'm not saying what denomination you should be at all, but is that not horribly scary that the pastors/priests are not all 100%??? That the church going population is most likely being totally misled by those with a high standing?
Then I go to this website that I visit pretty much all day at work... there are SO many posts about how this is Black Tuesday and that with Bush being reelected that he will destroy the middle class all for helping increase the wealth of the already-rich. Or the nice banners that say "We don't call it Bush Bashing in *state*, we call it thinking."

So sorry this sounds like a rant... and I'm beginning to see that I'm more closeminded than I thought with people that differ from my own beliefs and ideas... No matter what, we are still the luckiest people on earth to be blessed to call this great nation our home. I think we take being an American for granted way to often.

SO whether you are for Bush or against, he still deserves respect and ALL of our prayers that he will do the best of his ability in the coming four years. That would still apply even if Kerry had won. I'm proud of our President, he takes a stand for what he believes is biblical and I think that should be commended. So please lift up "W" and Laura Bush today and continue to lift them up in prayer in the coming months. And more than anything, pray that America will try to find its Godly roots again...
