Wow...it's incredible to me that today is 8/31/08...usually I get sentimental around the 13th for obvious reasons, but today I'm choosing to reflect on something far greater...you see, ten years ago today, I made a decision as a member of Prayer Temple COGIC to be baptized...Yes, I went down in the water...and the water was cold...lol...My mother and youngest brother were there...In fact, my ex was baptized (prolly for the 2nd or 3rd time lol) on the same day...as were my god-kids father and several other members of the church...

After Election Day 2008

The Lord’s Will
Current mood: blessed

I had a startling thought this morning as I talked to my friend Jason about the election results...He is among those who voted for Obama...and I would have been as well if I had actually had time to vote (beat me up about it later, either way, he still won)...I've seen a lot of reaction to the results in folks' status and mood on here and on facebook...Most of my friends are quite pleased...but there are some...along the conservative Christian line that are utterly disgusted and disappointed...so here is my thought:

Why do we think something is in the Lord's Will only when it is what we wanted to happen???
