The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.

The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.

Social Philosophy: The Obamanation: Misc. Thoughts

Before the Obama's SA shuts down my blog I'll say a few more things about current political developments and then I'll get back to the things that really matter like Philosophy and Literature and Theology and our small lives.

As leftists and Islamo-fascists around the world chortle with glee at the ascension of the One, I recall the words of the True Messiah, Jesus Christ (via the Holy Spirit):

2:1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.(1 Timothy 2:1-4,ESV)


I, therefore offer the following prayer:

Heavenly Father, Most Holy God, have mercy on our souls and forgive us our sins.
Lord God hear our prayer!
Lord God, forgive our nation for our wickedness. Grant us grace to accept your judgment on us in the form of the civil government that we deserve.
Lord God, as your scripture says about the heart of the king being turned by your hand I ask that you grant us a just leader and that you would not cause us to lose our liberties. May You save our new president and grant him the wisdom to rule fairly and to remember your commandments and the Great Judgment that will come to us all.
Lord God, grant this sinner grace to live in repentance and forbearance in the coming years.
Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy!

This prayer is my hope but to the above mentioned chortlers, I bring to their attention this from God's word: Psalm 2

May God have mercy on us all and may He grant us tanker loads of Grace.
