Praying for and supporting President Barack Obama

Pray for health care as a fundamental Human right

I originally posted this as an email to the Prayer Team, but I felt led to post it in blog form as well, so that it could be linked to and more people can pray.

I strongly believe that health care is a fundamental Human right for *all* people. Yet in our great nation, health care is a multi-billion dollar industry that seeks wealth at the expense of those who are suffering. From prescription drug companies that push the latest and greatest chemical substances that help us get rid of one symptom only to cause three more to the doctors who charge astronomical fees for basic services while all the time they collect money from the drug companies to the insurance companies who force people to make a choice between quality health coverage and their next meal, more and more people get rich from more and more people's suffering every day.

The Bible tells us that Jesus healed whoever he could, and it says nothing about anyone's ability to pay for His services. Not to mention the fact that all healing miracles performed by Jesus were complete, with no half-healings if someone didn't pay enough, or even have enough faith. And once a person was healed, the healing never caused more and more symptoms from ailments caused by the healing to keep a person coming back for more.

Let us pray for complete health care reform in this great nation in which we live. Let us pray that health becomes recognized as the basic and fundamentalHuman right that it is, rather than a political football to be passed back and forth or a tool to be used to make some people rich at the expense of others. Let us pray for complete and total health coverage for all, regardless of a person's ability to pay for treatment. Let us pray for health care providers that do their jobs to the best of their ability in order to maintain good health for all people rather than for money. In short, let us pray for a Christ-like health care system.

Lord God, we come to you now in prayer for our nation. We come to you because we know our nation needs an entirely new vision of health care. We ask that you give our leaders the wisdom to reform our health care system, and to rebuild it from the ground up if necessary to make it as Christ-like as it can be. We know from your Word that your Son Jesus never turned anyone away because of their inability to pay, nor did He even ask for payment in exchange for healing, nor did He give partial healing if someone couldn't pay enough, nor did He give partial healing in order to force people to come back for the rest. In fact, we believe that the idea of making someone rich in order to gain partial healing is repulsive to you. Lord God, show us the right path. Make our leaders understand how a Christ-like health care system should be, and that anything else is offensive to you. Provide for our nation the wisdom, the understanding and the resources to make a truly Christ-like health care system a reality. Silence the loud voices of those who oppose any positive step because they want things to stay the same. Open their eyes that they may see that only your way is right and just. All these things we pray in the name of your Son Jesus Christ, who gave His own life to save us all from ourselves. Amen.

March for Obama

By Kyle - Feb 24th, 2008 at 2:41 pm EST

I found out through my local group that HRC's compaign is attempting to organize something they are calling a "Million American March" next Saturday 3/1 all across the country. It's time to mobilize. Everyone get with your local groups to march for Barack Obama at the same time. We want to come out in much greater numbers than HRC's people, since we already know there are much more than a million of us.

This is a great way to spread the word and grow the movement as well.

Fired up and ready to go!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!

Why Linux users should support Barack Obama

I just checked netcraft.com for all the major candidates for president. It should come as no surprise to those of us who use Linux on a regular basis that Barack Obama runs his web site on Linux. But the real surprise comes when looking at the other candidates. Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Mike Huckabee are all running their sites on Windows Server 2003. This information is all correct as of today according to netcraft. I did see a couple of weeks ago that netcraft said that barackobama.com was running FreeBSD, but it says Linux now, and FreeBSD is still much better for running web sites as sophisticated as this one than Windows Server 2003.

Obama for America! Obama for Linux! YES WE CAN!!

The polls have only just closed in Virginia, but CNN is already reporting Barack Obama as the winner there. A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped me make this big win possible in my state of birth. Keep praying for and supporting Barack Obama in every way you can.
