What??? A second post about Obama in this blog? You better believe it. I felt the need to do it because this past Thursday in Jerusalem, Obama presented a prayer in the Wailing Wall and I found it very, very moving. I pride myself in telling it like it is, "no tengo pelos en mi lengua, I have no hairs on my tongue." Apparently, after he made this prayer which he wrote on hotel stationery, a seminary student took it out and gave it to some newspaper. The newspaper printed the prayer, which for all intended purposes is a private dialogue between God and his creation. But I found this prayer so moving because it was very sincere. I don't know if Bush has ever prayed like this, but Obama proves that he is a very, very spiritual man and is also very human. (And I don't care what the Right Wing Christian Conservatives say. Besides, the truth is that they are neither Christian nor right. But most of them are a bunch of racists no-gooders, that believe they hold a monopoly on Christianity, which the poor saps really don't!) He understands that the is poised to make world history. I believe that through this prayer he also has an understanding that when he becomes the leader of the free world he is also essentially the leader of the entire world, like it or not. In ancient times we had our King Solomon's and King David's. Men that were very close to God, men who acknowledged God and he acknowledged them. I feel a lot better about Obama and his intentions and his hopes about what he wants to do for this country and this world. As believers in God, especially if we are Christian, we too should also pray to God for his protection of us all and that he guides us. God answers prayers. Below is the prayer so you can read it yourself.
"Lord, protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will."---Barack Obama, U.S. Presidetial Candidate
