Aimee Herd (July 29, 2009) "This is something where you just hope that you are aligning your work with His purposes, and that you're attuned to the needs of the people you're there to serve." In a recent Nightline interview, President Obama told ABC News' Terry Moran that his prayer habits have intensified since taking office, and that he prays "all the time now." "I've got a lot of stuff on my plate and I need guidance all the time," Obama said in the interview. He told Moran that before he was elected, he used to pray each night. Obama reportedly receives a devotional and prayer sent to his BlackBerry every morning from Pastor Joshua DuBois, the director of the president's Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Initiative.

Ok, to me that was a serious shock, but just in case you are wondering, that is straight from the White House website - www.whitehouse.gov. I will post an excerpt and links and leave the conclusion up to you. http://www.queerty.com/shock-obama-proclaims-june-gay-pride-month-20090601/ http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-LGBT-Pride-Month/ THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ___________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release June 1, 2009 LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2009 - - - - - - - BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.

Over 2 Million Red Envelopes Reach White House Mail Box Aimee Herd (April 8, 2009) "Quite frankly, there was definitely a deluge of mail coming through. I had to handle them all." (Washington, DC)—Toward the end of February an idea, which originated from C. Otto, began circulating the internet. The  Red Envelope Project,  as it has come to be known, involved sending an empty red envelope to President Obama at the White House on the last day of March to represent a child killed through abortion. Each red envelope was to be printed on the back with the words:  "This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception." According to a recent update from Chelsea Schilling on  WorldNetDaily.com,  the White House not only received red envelopes, but they were "deluged" with 2.25 million of them in the massive grass-roots campaign. The worker at the Whit...

Pray for New President by Steve Watters The United States has elected a new President--Barack Obama. As a non-profit organization, we haven't been able to talk about candidates in this race ... until now. I'll be the first on this blog to say I'm disappointed and concerned about the days ahead. I realize from blog comments we've had over the past year, however, that some of you are probably excited about this result. Regardless of what you're feeling now -- discouragement or elation -- those of us who are followers of Christ are called to live by 1 Timothy 2:1-4: I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Whether we voted for them or not, we are to pray for our leaders. Some of you ...
