Wow, so much for "change". The only thing that has changed is the name and party of those running our country. And we wonder why we are failing as a nation? The answer to our problems is a simple.......GOD. But oh i forgot, we have "separation of church and state", which doesn't even mean what the politicians want us to think it does. Just go read what the term to establish meant in that time, might surprise you.
And for those who love the two party system, you need to work on having some wisdom.

I am a..............
Idealists, as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best possible self -- always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives their imagination. And they want to help others make the journey. Idealists are naturally drawn to working with people, and whether in education or counseling, in social services or personnel work, in journalism or the ministry, they are gifted at helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potentials.
Idealists are sure that friendly cooperation is the best way for people to achieve their goals. Conflict and confrontation upset them because they seem to put up angry barriers between people. Idealists dream of creating harmonious, even caring personal relations, and they have a unique talent for helping people get along with each other and work together for the good of all. Such interpersonal harmony might be a romantic ideal, but then Idealists are incurable romantics who prefer to focus on what might be, rather than what is. The real, practical world is only a starting place for Idealists; they believe that life is filled with possibilities waiting to be realized, rich with meanings calling out to be understood. This idea of a mystical or spiritual dimension to life, the "not visible" or the "not yet" that can only be known through intuition or by a leap of faith, is far more important to Idealists than the world of material things.
Highly ethical in their actions, Idealists hold themselves to a strict standard of personal integrity. They must be true to themselves and to others, and they can be quite hard on themselves when they are dishonest, or when they are false or insincere. More often, however, Idealists are the very soul of kindness. Particularly in their personal relationships, Idealists are without question filled with love and good will. They believe in giving of themselves to help others; they cherish a few warm, sensitive friendships; they strive for a special rapport with their children; and in marriage they wish to find a "soulmate," someone with whom they can bond emotionally and spiritually, sharing their deepest feelings and their complex inner worlds.
Idealists are relatively rare, making up no more than 15 to 20 percent of the population. But their ability to inspire people with their enthusiasm and their idealism has given them influence far beyond their numbers.
Idealists at Work
Idealists, as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. They are naturally drawn to working with people and are gifted with helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potential both on, and off, the job.
Your beliefs are the arbiter of your actions, even if you cannot articulate those beliefs specifically. You hold a strong, clear sense of the way the universe works, what's "right" and what's "wrong," and what your purpose is in the overall scheme of things. In your ideal job, you can embody those beliefs in your relationships with other people. Because you likely have a talent for de-escalating situations and can almost always find just the "right words", you often significantly improve the morale of organizations to which you belong.

Who is Jesus?
IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.
IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION;
IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN;
IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD;
IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS,
IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END;
IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE
IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM;
SO, WHO IS HE? HE IS JESUS!
JOIN ME AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM; HE IS WORTHY.
THE EYES BEHOLDING THIS MESSAGE SHALL NOT BEHOLD EVIL,
THE HAND THAT WILL SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY SHALL NOT LABOR IN VAIN,
AND THE MOUTH SAYING AMEN TO THIS PRAYER SHALL SMILE FOREVER.
REMAIN IN GOD AND SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS.
AMEN
IN GOD I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING!
The Greatest Man in History Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer
He had no army, yet kings feared Him..
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

JESUS
JESUS IS SAVIOUR:
The first of the five cardinal truths is that Jesus is our Savior. This is represented by the symbol of the Cross. Jesus said, "The Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost" Luke 19:10. Because of our failure to keep God's commandments and our willful disobedience to Him, mankind has incurred a debt to God that he cannot pay. Mankind also gave himself to the destructive power of the devil, and we are suffering the consequences of our wayward lifestyles. Jesus came to save us from the penalty of sin, the power of the devil and even the terrible mess we created for ourselves. Jesus, as the Son of God, lived a perfect life and gave it in ransom for our sins and was put to death for them on the cross. His blood paid the full price, and now those who accept Him and make Him Lord of their lives will be saved. (Scripture references: Luke 19:10; John 1:29; John 3:16)
JESUS IS HEALER:
The second cardinal truth is that Jesus is our healer. This is represented by the cup of blessing. The Bible says that, "Jesus went about doing good and healing all those who were oppressed of the devil" Acts Chapter 10. Not only did Jesus die for our sins, but He also died for our sicknesses. When Jesus was on the earth, He healed multitudes of people. God's love for us is so great that He wants to heal us when we are sick. After Christ rose from the grave and ascended to heaven, God the Father sent the Holy Spirit who continues on the ministry of Jesus through the Church. (Scripture references: Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:16-17; Luke 4:18)
JESUS IS BAPTIZER IN THE HOLY SPIRIT:
The third cardinal truth is that Jesus baptizes us in the Holy Spirit, represented by the dove. To be baptized in the Holy Spirit means to be completely immersed in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist said just as he baptized in water, Jesus would baptize in the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that "you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you" Acts 1:8. Just as the 120 in the upper room received the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) we believe that every believer today can have the same experience. (Scripture references: Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-33; Acts 10.)
JESUS IS REDEEMER FROM THE CURSE:
The fourth truth is that Jesus redeems us from the Curse. Because of Mankind's sin and rebellion, we have incurred a debt to God. God's law is eternal and the breaking of the law incurs an eternal debt. Breaking God's commandments also puts us under a curse. The Bible mentions these curses in Deuteronomy chapter 18. Because of our failure, we were slaves to these curses. Jesus paid the price for our redemption. When Jesus shed His blood, His life was given for us and thus the price needed for our redemption was paid. He set us free from these curses. Some of these curses include poverty, destruction, confusion, etc. In the place of curses we can now receive God's blessings. (Scripture references: (Deut 18; Gal 3:13; Eph 1:7-14.) references: (Deut 18; Gal 3:13; Eph 1:7-14.)
JESUS IS THE SOON COMING KING:
The Bible clearly tells us that after Jesus' death, burial, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven He will come again as King, represented by the crown. This is what we call the Blessed Hope of the Church. The Bible talks about the "rapture" of the Church. This is when Jesus comes in the clouds and those who are dead in Christ will rise first and those who are alive at His coming will be changed in an instant and caught up to meet Jesus in the air. He will then reign on the earth for a period of one thousand years as King of the whole earth. (Scripture references: (Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thess 4:13-18.)

PRAY
It's time to pray for the leaders of our nation.They need our prayers. The times are turbulent: economy in jeopardy, nations in conflict. How can leaders lead during a day of bail-outs and bombings? Only with God's help.So let's request it. On January 20, 2009–inauguration day–set aside some minutes to pray for our incoming President. Ask God to inspire, direct and protect him. Pray for his wife and daughters. Use your worship time, family time and private time to ask God's blessings on Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and all the men and women who serve and lead our country. It's time to pray.Let's do just that.Pray for rulers and for all who have authority so that we canhave quiet and peaceful lives full of worship and respect for God. (1 Timothy 2:2)
