President Obama's Faith

While in Albuquerque, NM this week, President Obama responded to questions about his Christian faith. He stated, “I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead -- being my brothers’ and sisters’ keeper, treating others as they would treat me. And I think also understanding that Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility we all have to have as human beings, that we’re sinful and we’re flawed and we make mistakes, and that we achieve salvation through the grace of God. But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is [to] still see God in other people and do our best to help them find their own grace.”

But those with their own agenda will continue to push and spread the malicious lies about this man and our President. But the trouble lies within their hearts--not President Obama's. Many of them who raise the point are not even attending their churches regularly and seem to have forgotten "he who is without sin, cast the first stone," and "judge not that ye be not judged." Why should anyone think he/she has the right to question a man's faith? Our relationship with the Almighty is just that: OURS.

THE FLOODS IN PAKISTAN

Because I have been working part-time, busy with choir, etc., I never seem to have time to blog anymore and God knows anyone who knows me knows I have a lot to say!

Tonight I watched AC360 as I do almost every night, and saw a moving video of Dr. Sanjay Gupta, neurosurgeon from Atlanta, who is still in Pakistan. It blows me away to see these children--hungry, displaced, covered in flies, and surrounded by water--huddled up and STUDYING! We are such prima donnas and have no appreciation of the blessings we have. They are living on rice, once a day, and have lost everything material to them. The lessons we could learn from the HAVE NOTS never cease to amaze and shame me.
