prayers and giving of thanks....
We are told in the Bible that if we want to lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty we are to pray for and thank God for those in authority.
It does not say we are to agree with them or like them but if we are to remain a sane, civil and free society we must stop the rancor, and childish unreasonable behavior.
I do not believe that many people actually want quiet and peacable lives today, if it means that they would have to pray for their president. They would rather negotiate with an enemy that has attacked them and vows to kill us all.
There were those who defended Hitler during WW11 in this country. In Hollywood, Errol Flynn and others were as anti-American then as so many in Hollywood are today.
There were those who defended Communism, (and still do), and jeered at President Reagan when he stood up to that evil. It is nothing new to have those malcontents among us who want to blame America for everything and use their freedoms that others have fought and died for to express their hatred.
It is our great privilege to live in this greatest county in the world, to be free to pray for all those in authority and to RESPECTFULLY disagree with anyone and voice our opinions. These freedoms are being abused and used to do great harm by those who do not understand the evil in the world. They are obsesssed with hating those that they should be praying for.
