**ELECTION UPDATE**

Bush, Cheney Will Not Attend GOP Convention Due to Hurricane

Michael Moore Believes In God!

“I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven.”

Michael Moore to MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann in reference to the approaching hurricane's possible timing.

No one can argue that Katrina was anything other than a disaster. However, a vast majority of the mismanagement was state and local. Nevertheless, honest and reasonable people can agree that this kind of thinking is just horrible.

I want to be mad but really all I can think is how sad and how pathetic.

Ready...Set...

Let's Go!

By the way, why aren't you all commenting obsessively on my blog since I have been posting obsessively? Even if you think I'm a loon at least I'll know I'm not talking to myself! I'm not too proud to beg.

I'm sure you are all at least looking to see if I have added anything new here and there, or new polls, or even new cartoons....hint hint!

Mount Zion

Thoughts from Pastor Lundstrom:

UNMOVED!

One day as I was going through a great trial, one of my dedicated staff handed me the verse below. It settled my spirit immediately. What a gem!Those who trust in the Lord are steady as Mount Zion. I have visited Jerusalem and the city is really built on a rock. There appears to be very little soil-just granite.

Jerusalem is also a high city. The elevation is 2,400 feet above sea level. So when you read in the Scriptures of "going up to Jerusalem" this is really the truth.

Whatever problems you have today, picture yourself sitting upon the high Holy Mountain of Jerusalem--a city built upon a rock. You will be steady--unmoved by any circumstance.

Are you under attack? If so, this gives you an opportunity to express your faith in God. Do these things:

First, find a scripture from God's Word that applies to your situation. Today's Key Verse (below) is terrific.

Second, say out loud "I am trusting in the Lord. I shall remain steady, unmoved by any circumstance."

Third, tell yourself God has never failed you before and He will not fail you now.

Fourth, enter into the Spirit. As Paul says in Galatians, "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16). Fear is a force of the flesh. The way to break its hold is to enter into God's presence. When the Spirit of the Lord is moving on your body, fear will vanish like darkness flees the light.

Tuck away these truths in your heart. When you go through a trial, the Holy Spirit will bring them to your remembrance.

KEY VERSE: "Those who trust in the Lord are steady as Mount Zion, unmoved by any circumstance" (Psalm 125:1 TLB). Also read: Ps. 146:5; Prov. 16:20; James 5:11
REMEMBER: TRUSTING IN THE LORD WILL KEEP YOU STEADY AS A ROCK.

HOW TO START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK

1. Open a new file in your computer.

2. Name it 'Barack Obama'.

3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.

4. Empty the Recycle Bin.

5. Your PC will ask you: 'Do you really want to get rid of 'Barack Obama?'

6. Firmly Click 'Yes.'

7. Feel better?

GOOD! - Tomorrow we'll do Nancy Pelosi


(Full disclosure...I received this in an e-mail - but I wished I would have thought of it)

OK! OK! OK....don't get all bent out of shape my more liberal friends....just insert an annoying republican's name. Come on you gotta admit now it is a little funny?!

Update: Election Alert

Now for my award winning analysis (ok I haven’t won any awards). Why did Hillary pick the Orange pantsuit? Is there an even deeper meaning? I have three therories.

Theory 1) “O”range for “O”bama for President!

Theory 2) “O”range for “O”h this should have been my convention!

Theory 3) “O”range for “O”reos. Like one too many that is. Come on, we all know what that’s like when we’ve had to temporarily resort to a certain outfit that is a little looser, if you know what I mean!

Well, I guess we’ll never know. I doubt it’s the first one. I'm sure it was just because orange won because they decided it looked best with the backgrounds there.

TWINS WIN and complete the sweep!! (sorry Emily)

After the game on Sunday the kids ran the bases...

Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. (Psalm 55:22)

There are countless ways for us to reach out to each other to help lighten the load. It is comforting to me to know that God promises He will do the same. In the ever changing circumstances that each day inevitably brings we can and should take that pain, that stress, that uncertainty and allow God to lift that burden from us and lead us through.

Please take a moment now and while listening to the music, allow the words to calm and restore your strength in whatever situation you might be going through.

Then remember the Chapman family (as well as the countless others who suffer similarly) in your prayers as they walk an unthinkable road.
