Being “Cool” is Over-Rated!!!

I overheard a celebrity say during last night’s evening news, in regards to our new president, that “now America is cool again”.  That statement truly appalled me.  Do we really want the world to think of America as “cool”, with a “cool” president?  If we think about the “cool” kids we knew way back when we were teens, those teens were NOT the ones we’d want to hold high as godly role models for our own children today.  If we think about the “cool” parents we knew (usually of the “cool” kids), those were definitely NOT the ones we’d want as mentors for Christian parents.  If we think about the “cool” celebrities… well, you get the idea.  I don’t like the idea of our president and our commander-in-chief being called “cool”.  Leading our country has NOTHING to do with the petty worldwide popularity contests of pubescently-minded celebrities!  His responsibility is much greater than the trivial fad of being “cool”.  Whether we are pleased or displeased with our current administration, we are commanded by God to show them honor.  We should be diligent to graciously give them our prayers.  We should plead with our Lord that these leaders be filled with His guidance, His wisdom, His protection, and that this new administration would set aside their own wills and focus wholeheartedly on His will for our nation.  May God bless our country!

Jan. 22, 2009 - Not Cool at all.

Posted by MichelleL
I was listening to the radio today of another person fed up with all the celebrity type attention that Obama is getting.

We do need to pray for him. I really think it is scary how many people seem to so blindly follow after him.

Well I'm not drinking the Kool Aid.
