Turn from greed and God may once again bless us

| December 17, 2008 8:00 PM

Dear fellow Americans,

Yes, I heard it, too. The Dow Jones has dropped. The economy is in the dumps. Disaster everywhere. I wonder, friends, when we as a God-founded country will humble ourselves on our knees and confess all our wrongdoing  and change our greed, selfishness and pride and really change. Maybe when our Father hears this, He will say yes, I will bless this country and world.

Men, when did you last gather your country at the dinner table together and give thanks for all the blessings of life - living in American and have such an awesome loving heavenly Father? Do it, your wife and children will respect you for it.

We are not here for all we can assume and consume. We are here to represent love, sharing and forgiveness in the name of Jesus. I know I want to live this way.
