When you pray you have a direct line to Jesus. You don't have to worry about being ping'ed or tapped into when you open your very own secure line to the King of Hearts.
I don't think that Jesus would have told us to pray often if He didn't mean it. Then as I do, I began to worry that my prayers were being shang'hai'd by the devil. That's right, my prayer transmissions were, I thought, being tampered with.
Then it occurred to me that Jesus had already thought of that, being the well-organized being that He is. Now I don't worry about broken transmissions. We who have 'much correction and learning to do' while here on Earth have been given a secure direct line to Jesus ... our best and most steadfast friend.

Hitting Nails; Biting Bullets, the Bill Cosby Way
By David Darnell

As I washed dishes on Saturday, by hand, using only enough water to get them cleaned and rinsed... Knowing that this is only feasible for a single person... Automatic dishwashers are wonderful, economical and disease preventers.
So, as I stood at the kitchen sink, I was thinking about the dilemma the world is in. The specific thought was related to real estate closings being delayed because of the limitations placed on the appraisal process by various lenders and loan underwriters, i.e. banks and government entities, i.e. Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.
These are the same entities that were lending money to under-qualified buyers and making fairyland credit available. All the while the media was whipping everyone into a recession frenzy, with unbridled rhetoric about escalated housing prices in some markets...artificially inflated oil prices, drop in GDP, overpriced stock on Wall Street...all of the things that really don't interest the "Middle American".

Bill Cosby is talking about the "Cliches" that makes this country stand above the rest. We are bound and obligated by our Constitution, which is a document based on Christianity, the working mans religion, to solve these issues ourselves, you and me, together. Buy American, think American, eat, sleep and drink American. Do you understand the difficulty of this?

God's covenant to America is written in the document. Read it...several times if you wish. It is great reading. Everything Bill is espousing is mete and right. The hard part is to implement and uphold.
In the Name of Jesus we must ask for God to resolve us. Pray for each other, as you've never done before. Also pray for those who hold office, that they will ask for forgiveness and re-invent the government in the Name of Jesus, who didn't become man to be served but to serve.
Also say a special prayer for M. Phelps to someday do the 100 fly so fast we don't have to talk about it anymore.

Draw closer, Listen carefully
Not long ago I heard a story about a young man and an old preacher.
The young man had lost his job and didn't know which way to turn.
So, he went to see the preacher.
Pacing about, the young man ranted about his problem.
Finally, he raised a clenched fist and shouted,
" I've prayed to God to say something to help me.
Tell me, preacher, why doesn't God answer me?"
The preacher, who sat across the room , spoke something so
hushed it was indistinguishable. The young man stepped
across the room, "What did you say?"
The preacher repeated himself, but again in a tone as soft
as a whisper. So the young man moved closer still and said,
" Sorry, I still didn't hear you."
With their heads bent together, the old preacher spoke again,
" God sometimes whispers, so we will move closer, to hear Him."
This time the young man heard; and he understood.
We all want God's voice to thunder through the air with answers.
But God's is the still, small voice...the gentle whisper.
Perhaps there's a reason. Nothing draws human focus quite like a
whisper. God's whisper means I must stop my ranting and move
closer to Him, until my head is bent together with His.
And then, as I listen, I will find my answer.
Better still, I find myself closer to God.
