President Obama

Today's headlines on Yahoo (are they still considered headlines?) announced that President Obama has finally selected a church to attend. This is good news, but have we elected an individual, who when making a choice about his place of worship, makes headlines? The faith of our elected leaders should be without question, their choice of God, or as in this case, their choice of church, and should not require media involvement to bring assurance to a nation, blessed by God, that the leader indeed has a belief system. Regardless of President Obama's belief or faith the thought that our nation would have elected him if it (his faith) was in question is unsettling. Maybe tomorrow's headlines will provide us with information that actually concerns the well being of our great nation.

A Nation's Saddness

The loss of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson this week has caused sadness and the resurgence of many memories. It saddens me to know that both of these deaths may have been prevented. In Ms Fawcett's case we can only wonder if the science to provide relief from cancer were as popular as the science to create painkillers, mind numbing drugs was at least equal could her life had been extended. It now appears that Michael Jackson was addicted to prescribed painkillers. We may never know if a combination of these drugs, administered by care givers, and his own addiction resulted in the early death of the King of Pop. I hope that people pay attention to this tragedy and realize that the abuse of painkillers will ultimately result in them being just "killers". I pray for the families and friends of these two stars, stars that allowed us to enjoy their work, to laugh with them, to sing with them and to even dance with them.

Addicted to Faith

I have finally completed "Addicted to Faith" and sent it to the publisher yesterday. I am sure the edits will be many (spell check doesn't always know what I meant). With God's blessings the new book will be out this fall. I hope it will help you in your battles with addiction.
