I have resolved to be more faithful to my God, more kind to those around me, and to speak of truths more frequently, and to hopefully have a more positive enfluence in my family, my neighborhood, my country and the world. Thank you for having the courage to share your thoughts.Karen Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130612231908051019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259506061809381765.post-45125600736734611582012-11-11T21:08:17.446-08:002012-11-11T21:08:17.446-08:00Please do Annie.

I was heartbroken. It seemed like a bad dream, well actually, a horrific nightmare. I'm going to forward on to you this email that a sister in my ward sent me that made me feel better. But I am very nervous about what the next four years will bring to America. <br />Love you, Brenda!The Ashtonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16871799364301189640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259506061809381765.post-17656317194073730842012-11-11T14:21:01.601-08:002012-11-11T14:21:01.601-08:00Good thoughts Becky.

Our country is turning far away from its Godly Heritage that it was founded on. Our sermon today was on hope and change (Obama's theme when he ran four years ago), but the kind of hope our pastor talked about was the eternal hope found in our Lord Jesus Christ, I Peter 1:13, not hope in a man. I have faith and hope about our future because of God's promises. So, what should we do? In Col 3:2 it says we should set our mind on things above and not on things of the earth. When our hope is fixed on God, we have peace no matter what the storm...or whoever is president. Our families are so blessed to have this hope. It's my prayer that all would come to know the hope that is only found in our Lord Jesus Christ. Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019949670844982763noreply@blogger.com
