A Voice of Hope

Hope - a Psalm

 ^1-2 Long enough, God— you've ignored me long enough.
   I've looked at the back of your head
      long enough. Long enough
   I've carried this ton of trouble,
      lived with a stomach full of pain.
   Long enough my arrogant enemies
      have looked down their noses at me.

 ^3-4 Take a good look at me, God, my God;
      I want to look life in the eye,
   So no enemy can get the best of me
      or laugh when I fall on my face.

 ^5-6 I've thrown myself headlong into your arms—
      I'm celebrating your rescue.
   I'm singing at the top of my lungs,

      I'm so full of answered prayers. (Psalm 13, The Message)

He is able, and He will rescue me. He is able, and He will rescue me.

In this I hope tonight. In this I believe. In this I cling to with all my might.

I need my God to rescue me, for I'm drowning in my own mess and my enemies are watching in delight.

Laughing, poking, kicking me while I'm down. Against them I cannot stand. Not alone.

Jesus, do You hear me? Jesus, will you come? Will I some day see You? Will I someday get to go Home?

He is able, and He will rescue me. He is able, and He will rescue me.

In this I hope tonight. In this I believe. In this I cling to with all my might.

He delights in me, and dances over me all day long. He is enthralled by my beauty and knows every note of my unique song.

Therefore I will hope. I will Hope. I will Hope in Him and no one else. Hope in Him and nothing else. He is able and He will come.

An Open Thank You Note to Congress

Dear Congress,

Gee, thanks for passing the bill that will kill small business and employer-offered health insurance - forcing a single-payer system on us all - implode our national budget and effectively bankrupt the US -- not to mention send unemployment through the roof thus extending this economic depression for decades to come.

Oh, don't worry, though. It won't happen overnight - so the majority of the public won't have any idea that it was your Progressive agenda that destroyed our country.

No, it will die a very slow, and painful death, which gives plenty of time for you to distract most with all your smoke and mirrors. And by the time it's done I'm sure you'll have found a way to blame it all on George W. Bush.

I, however, will remember you, and will do everything I can to make sure history remembers it was ultimately YOUR fault (not Bush's) that our nation crashed and burned.

Sincerely,

PS - Marsha Blackburn, you're my hero. Jim Cooper, you, sir, are on my Epic Fail list.
