Monday: Bankruptcy

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.

Good Morning, my brothers and sisters. What a great morning here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. It is Monday and the day we pray for our leaders in Washington and in our State and Local Governments. It is also the day we pray for our veterans, our current military, our police, firefighters, and all others who work to keep us safe. Please pray today for comfort for the family of Helen Cerny. Helen would have been 95 on Easter Sunday, and was the mother of prayer warrior Sharon Ogden, so we ask prayers for Sharon and her husband Oliver. We are sad today, but we rejoice in her crossing over to the other side, to her homecoming with Jesus. Prayers also today for Faye Beard. Faye is scheduled for back surgery. She had been in a bad automobile accident some time back.

Bankruptcy: In our local paper, they list those who file bankruptcy papers. Some of them file to regroup and pay people back, others just file and walk away from what is owed. For about six months now, we have been hearing about these big companies that are telling our leaders in Washington, if we do not get help, we are going to go bankrupt. Companies like AIG and those big lenders like Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae, and even the big auto maker General Motors. I personally think all of this was caused by our news media wanting to hurt former President Bush, but that is for another time and not on this line. Anyway it was not all that long ago that our dear Congress wanted to add extra tax on companies that were doing well, like Exxon/Mobile and Texaco/Shell and others ... go and take their money and give it to those who will not work and to companies like General Motors ... and so it goes.

People who have been trusted with taxpayers dollars have been using them for high priced trips and bonus dollars for the big wigs. Now our Congress wants to tax those people 90% of their salaries. Scary times I would think. China is lending us money, at the same time was it not China who have made products that have hurt or killed our children? And who can forget the dog food problems. Dolores and I lost five of our dogs with that junk food.

Bankruptcy: The real problem as I see it is not that we are dollar bankrupt, dare I say it, that I feel that our nation has gone morally bankrupt. Who has forgotten what happened in the oval office just ten or so years ago? And who can forget about the one man who is back on TV like nothing happened talking about what Bush did wrong and what President Obama is doing wrong when he himself had to give us his job as speaker of the house? While we need to forgive all of these people, our nation needs to get on their knees and humble to our Lord God.

Our nation's leaders and those who hate our Lord have had fights in court to take In God We Trust off the money, had fights to take the prayers and Bible out of our schools. And coaches can no longer lead a prayer in a huddle before a game. YES, I THINK OUR NATION NEEDS TO FILE BANKRUPTCY PAPERS. So how do we file them? How does a country file bankruptcy papers before it is too late? Well, watch the line this week as I try and go over this. Pray about this with me and pray about it for me. I want to try and answer a few questions, some like this ...

- Will the money being given out by Washington help or hurt our nation?
- Will our Nation bow down to our Lord, or will we keep bowing to the almighty dollar?
- Will our President turn to God and humble himself to our Lord? (Brothers and sisters, as we pray for our leaders today, please, please pray for President Obama to be "Born Again") If this man fails at being president, shame on him, but if his soul is lost, SHAME ON US for not helping him.

Dear Lord, Father of this great nation. We are going bankrupt as a nation because we have turned away from You. Help us to come back, help us to come back to You for leadership before it is to late and our nation fails completely. Lord, have mercy on this nation. Bless our leaders and please take from office those who will not come to You. Turn our nation's leaders to You, and not just for these hard times, but for all time and for day-to-day operation. Lord, protect our military who right now seem to be fighting a war that even the commander-in-chief is putting them down for. Lord, thanks for a military that has men and women who still stand for freedom and in the most part support You. Lord help them, and Lord, give our veterans special blessings and bring them home safe and soon. And Lord, be with Faye during her surgery and healing. Lord bless Sharon and Oliver as they suffer the loss of Sharon's mother. And Lord, please bless the USA ... In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Go forth, sharing your blessings and praying hard for this nation to come back from moral bankruptcy, for we are at the door ... love ya, dan.
