Word of God
I was spending some time reading the Psalms this evening when I came across the following verses.
Psalm 33: 16-22
The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and buy its great might it cannot rescue. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love; that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,, ever as we hope in you.
The reason this stood out to me was I feel so many people are putting their trust in the government's ability to solve their problems. We think that the government should save the planet. We believe the government needs to provide our health care. We think we are great based on our military might or financial abilities. The truth is that we are not saved by any of these things. The only thing that can truly save us is Jesus Christ. When we place our hope and trust in him, he becomes the true shield and help. He gives us strength when we have none left to give. He is the one who can ultimately affect our health. He is the one who can ultimately affect our wealth. If we hold to tightly to things, we don't allow God to bless us with what he has in store. Our attention is drawn away from him rather then focused on him. Another Psalm read that "some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will trust in the Lord our God". What this country needs is to realize its dependence on God, once again. We don't need another government plan, we need the Creator of the Universe and Savior of our souls.
Help us God to focus on you and not ourselves or our circumstances.

You've got to be kidding me!
This was posted in the China Daily News. Why are we recognizing the establishment of a communist regime? This country has some of the worst human rights violations. If you have more then one child they will come into your home and murder the second child! This is Washington kissing the ChiComs back ends because they want them to keep buying our debt. Here's an idea, why don't we stop spending all this money, thus reducing our debt and our reliance on the Chinese to buy our debt. This is absolutely ridiculous!

Chen Ronghua, chairman of Fujian Association of the United States, told reporters that their application was approved not only because of the sound Sino-US relations but also because China is a responsible country.
"Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing Olympics," said Chen.
More than 1,000 people will attend the ceremony and the performances held after it, according to Zhao Luqun, who will direct the performances.
Zhao said the performances will demonstrate the friendship, magnanimous spirit and kindness of modern Chinese people.
