IMO, both were exemplary and I was proud of both of them.<BR/><BR/>As for sending our prayer out to him/her...yep, I cringe too.

Whatever. Lorna and C.O., I was...LOL at Anonymous! Whatever. <BR/>Lorna and C.O., I was really dismayed at the criticism leveled at Rick Warren. I do not mean criticism from the gay rights community, I refer to criticism from those who said he should refuse the invitation because to pray would be to endorse Obama's politics. What in the world? Does the scripture not instruct us to pray for those in authority? Would he not have shown evangelical Christians to be a bunch of pompous asses if he had refused such an invitation? I too have great respect for R.W. I do not necessarily applaud everything he does or says, but then I can't think of ANYONE who I totally agree with. Yep, I agree that Obama knows who R.W. is and that is why he asked him. I am very tired of people sniping at each other.Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-72948694980180413162009-01-21T09:00:00.000-06:002009-01-21T09:00:00.000-06:00I got into the car, heard half of Warren's prayer....I got into the car, heard half of Warren's prayer. What I heard was fine. But I really don't like the way prayer is described/mentioned these days in the media. Prayer is to God, so it isn't for the rest of us to criticize the tone, etc. We may wish to ask God for other things, and nobody is stopping us from doing so on our own. Public prayer is sort of seen as a mini-sermon to the listeners, but that might depend on the church background of the pray-er. <BR/><BR/>I'm really annoyed at the common words we here on TV. After some tragic event, a public person will say something like, "We're sending out thoughts and prayers out to her."

Then when I saw so many negative remarks floating around,I wondered if I was the completely off base. <BR/><BR/>If Obama had wanted/expected something different, he could/would have chosen someone from a different faith background. <BR/><BR/>He chose Rick Warren.<BR/><BR/>And he got the best of Rick Warren.<BR/><BR/>Granted my views are skewed because I have always respected Rick Warren despite our differing beliefs on several issues. I've been seeing the initial criticisms come from Christians, it will be interesting to see what other faiths have to say. <BR/><BR/>I didn't see Rev Lowery (I'll have to go watch it), but boy did I see that hat...it even got a mention from Jay Leno as one of the 3 things you can see from space.chartreuseovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322876407019229383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-22960916859617536942009-01-21T03:45:00.000-06:002009-01-21T03:45:00.000-06:00Glad to read what you said here OWL- brilliant stu...Glad to read what you said here OWL- brilliant stuff :) I was shocked that so many Christians (including in RevGals) were against what Rick Warren did. I think he prayed what he ought to have prayed - he was there as a Christian and to have pretended otherwise would have been stupid!<BR/><BR/>Obama will do well as president but needs ALL our prayers - whatever our denomination! So let's do it - and focus on the very, very positive side of this.<BR/><BR/>May God not only bless America - may he bless all our nations with the desire to build the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth - with peace and justice, and goodwill to mankind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-71422095555517791242009-01-21T01:52:00.000-06:002009-01-21T01:52:00.000-06:00Have you ever been considered for commitment to a ...Have you ever been considered for commitment to a home for the criminally naive?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
