News

Sometimes it's hard to know what to pray.  I looked this morning at a news website that must have a had 153 links to the latest news stories on their homepage.  The stories ranged from the NFL news to terrorism news, and from a new weight loss plan to deficit plans.

And polls… there are polls on who believes the polls.  Has anyone noticed that right and wrong aren't addressed as much as "what Americans want?"  A politician can vomit out their favorite position of the day and if they say it's "what Americans want" it seems to make it a sound position.  The reason we know what Americans want - polls.  A sample of 1,900 out of 314,466,258 is supposed to be an accurate reflection of what the collective want?

And since when is what we want "right" because we want it?

I read through the news and it's overwhelming.  Sometimes it's hard to know what to pray.

Psalms 25:4-5
Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

That's a pretty good prayer to have for a day.  Christians doing that - That is news.

Psalming my day,

Pastor Dave
