My ...Well, the most amazing thing happened tonight. My wife and kids distributed pro-life literature on cars in a Wal-Mart parking lot (while I sat in the car with the sleeping baby)in a heavily democratic voting area of northern New Mexico. The Wal-Mart security guard told my wife that she was supposed to not let them do that, but she was a Christian, and thought it too important to enforce silly rules over such stuff. My wife talked to several people in the parking lot as she was handing out the flyers, and nobody said they were voting for Obama. <BR/><BR/>We found this quite encouraging and gives us a sense that there is a major last-minute shift, at least locally.Mike Westfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944727980772754938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-86025439506412445102008-11-03T18:49:00.000-06:002008-11-03T18:49:00.000-06:00Hey Danny,That landslide author has a new post up ...Hey Danny,<BR/>That landslide author has a new post up that has <A HREF="http://www.marstonchronicles.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=95&Itemid=119" REL="nofollow">MP 310 votes/OB with 228</A>Fred Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025967176465685306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-14940458927835191382008-11-03T16:38:00.000-06:002008-11-03T16:38:00.000-06:00I guess I've felt that way too.

Here's a proverb that's always been comforting...<BR/><BR/>The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous, But is terror to the workers of iniquity. -- 21:15<BR/><BR/>It doesn't seem that way. In fact, it seems the exact opposite. If God judges our nation by raising up Obama, many workers of iniquity will be joyful, an many righteous will be terrified. But if we can see Yahweh, Yahweh God, compassionate and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness, our Father who delights to benefit His children, then we can rest, knowing that He will by no means leave the <I>guilty</I> unpunished, but who will not withhold any good thing for those whom He has declared righteous by the blood of His own Son.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I know you know these things, but "to write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you."Mike Riccardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748453197783538367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-89488804130891069772008-11-03T16:17:00.000-06:002008-11-03T16:17:00.000-06:00Actually, that's what scares me.
