ORU

ORU stands for Opinions R Us... we have enough opinions to keep you busy for hours any time you'd like to listen.   We are a multifaceted group, so be ready for some real inspiration.

Recently, we have been handicapped by the fact that we can rarely get  more than four or five of the board together at any given time.  There are just too many varied commitments that have come between us.  Some would say that is life.  And I suppose we would have to agree; but it is a real handicap, since the world would really profit from us brain storming more regularly.

Because of this lack of time together, we got all the way to October without celebrating three of our birthdays.  I'm sad to say that none have yet made national holidays. It is sure to happen; but until then, we are determined to do our part and to keep working to that end.

We missed Robin's birthday in July, Jill's in August and Teresa's in September. This has never happened before. Could it have something to do with the fact that none of us is anxious to be another year older?...or perhaps I am the only one with that problem?  In any care,  we are hoping to do better next year.

We are now on Day 11 of our 40 days of prayer for the election.

Tonight I have a serious prayer concern.  There have been a multitude of heinous threats made on Twitter against Mitt Romney and his family. Is is sad that there are always people who have no love for their fellow man and will do Satan's bidding.

According to federal law, the individuals who made the threats should expect a visit from the Secret Service:

(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully threatens to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon—
(1) a former President or a member of the immediate family of a former President;
(2) a member of the immediate family of the President, the President-elect, the Vice President, or the Vice President-elect;
(3) a major candidate for the office of President or Vice President, or a member of the immediate family of such candidate; or
(4) a person protected by the Secret Service under section 3056 (a)(6);
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.

Many do  not expect this to be handled according to the law, since the Black Panthers got away with voter intimidation during the last election.  If that be the case, we must depend on God for safety.

Please pray for protection of Mitt, Paul  and their families and safety for all during the election.
