On Friday Night I purchased a replacement for my totaled Ford Escort. I miss that car, but I think I will enjoy the "new" one even more. The accident gave me the opportunity to purchase a "classic" car to restore. I was surprised to find a very well cared for 1984 Ford Crown Victoria with some minor body damage that fit my budget perfectly. I am getting a new windshield put in it on Wednesday and need to do a little body work to the driver's side doors to make it street legal again, but I should have it fully on the road by the weekend.
I have driven it far enough to know that it will be a very enjoyable car to drive. It probably won't get very good gas mileage with a 302 small block V-8, but at least I'll have plenty of power. It has been said about these cars that they can pass anything but a gas station. I'll letyou know if that is true in a week or two. I'll probably be blogging about the car quite a bit over the next few weeks just because it is something new in my life. I hope to have some picture to put on here soon.

Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation
THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY! I Whole-heartedly agree with Bill Graham on this one.
'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice.. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One nation under God.'

Obama Pro Life?
A friend of mine sent me to the following site where supposedly Obama is taking a Pro-Life stance, but from my reading of the site I was unable to determine his stand on much of anything other than protecting the life of the mother.
Obama's supporters seem to believe that through the process of legalizing abortions through the "Freedom of Choice Act", and then providing better health care so that women will be able to care babies to term easier. I don't really think it is a Pro-Life choice to pass the "Freedom of Choice Act".
There is not much else to say in response to Obama's stand on abortion, he has no moral issues with abortion at any stage in a pregnancy, this just does not come across as a Christian stance on the issue.
Obama, Where are your Christian Morals?
