The Obama victory prophecy
Tuesday November 4, 2008
Funny, but now that we're looking at President-elect Obama, I just remembered a column from Bible Girl back on February 29, in which she said that she can't vote for Obama because of abortion, even though she's a white Pentecostal...

Things can go well for Christians even under nations with "wicked" rulers. And look what the man professing Jesus, GWB, brought upon us and people of the world. All will be well. Barack Obama deeply needs our prayers.
Treasure Chest comics, which were distributed in Catholic schools, ran a series in 1964 of the first black president getting elected in 1976.

I keep thinking of that old Chinese curse: may you live in interesting times. These are nothing if not interesting times. Hopefully the good kind, though. We will see.
Mark:
1. Rod is not Rodney. As he's explained before, he's Ray O. Dreher, Jr. R.O.D., instead of Junior, yah?
2. Where is there any sort of sore losership here? Rod has been pretty much openly expecting an Obama victory for awhile and has been pretty critical of McCain where warranted. And this post has no whining whatsoever...read what the post is actually talking about.
I'm a middle-aged Southern white woman who's always voted Republican until this election. Two weeks ago I voted early for the first black president, Barack Obama, who is also a Democrat. I did so with pride and trepidation. As a Christian, I'm troubled with his position on abortion. Yet, his overall personal qualities speak of his ability to listen and learn. I feel in this man the desire to grow in his own understanding.
As a Southerner who grew up hearing racist relatives make the most awful and shameful remarks about the "Nigras," I'm proud that I have the chance to support this man who has transcended the pain of so many years of history.
God bless Barack Obama and God bless America.
We need to give this man our prayers. We need to ask the Lord to watch over him, to guide him, and to help him make this country a better place. God Bless you President Elect Obama. Jesus will see you through this.
The words of an ancient book apply to a President of the US in 2008?
Choke, laugh, laugh, choke laugh.
Of the superstitious there seems to be no end.
Last night was for Janice Grigsby, wherever she might be. And this is, too, God bless her.
so how do you people feel now??
no christian should of ever voted for this man
