My President

By Danny Burch
Good morning all you fellow web surfers!
I wasn't going to post anything about his because I know that everyone has an opinion on the subject. However, I just can't stand this anymore.
Coming up on 8 years ago we as a nation elected a man to the highest position that can be elected to in the free world. He has served our country with integrity and morality which is more than I can say for some of our past presidents. But for some reason they (critics) place our most immoral presidents on a higher pedestal than our current president. Yes the economy is in bad shape, that's a no brainer but what people refuse to see is that George Bush has kept America safe since 2001 and without almost no choice has entered us into an impossible war where no one will win. You have seen pictures from that war for the past several years but the ones you've seen are the ones the media presents and I hate to be the one to tell you, the media doesn't always show the entire picture. I know...shocking. That office that he sits in almost every day holds the power to wage war, destroy nations, protect the innocent, provide aid to the helpless and that office leads the largest world power since Rome. I could not begin to imagine the stress and the toll that job takes on any man (or woman...) That fact of the matter is folks, he is our President. The Bible speaks of respecting and honoring our leaders. I believe that God has placed him in that office for the time he has been there on purpose and who am I to question God. Yes, George's health is declining and he ages more each day but WHO WOULDN"T? I am saying this because I know that I would not want that job, I can barely handle the job God has put me in but He sustains me and helps me to persevere. Next time you think about this I want you to imagine yourself in that position and try... really try to imagine the power and stress that comes with it. Honor our leaders because they are there for a reason. What astounds me is that George Bush has all of these things to do... you know... running the country... and yet he always makes the time to worship the same God that you and I do. Don't criticize him... pray for him.

    I agree we should be praying for our President. My concern in all of this is that when the next one comes into office will we "Christians" still have calls out to pray for him or her. If we truly believe God is in control then doesn't He have a plan and purpose for every president and power that has authority? This is my problem all along. We can't say and do one thing when one person is in office and another just because we don't like the next president. My hope is we can pray just as much for our next president no matter who it is.

    I totally agree with my brother here.. whoever God sees fit to have as the leader of this country then we should pray for guidance for them.He or she may not be Christian this time around but that does not mean God is not in control or doesn't have a plan for him/her.

Something to say?
