God is sending different messages

Former Sen. George McGovern

"I'm not casting doubt on the power of prayer, although I've never been sure I was getting through. But if God told President Bush to send American troops to Iraq, he sent an entirely different message to the pope."

-- Former Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., speaking at the Missoula (Mont.) World Affairs Council on President Bush's decision to invade Iraq. After launching the war, Bush said he had consulted with "a higher father" about invading Iraq.

Thank you so much for this post.

I missed McGovern's perceptive comment until reading it here.

I like your approach and I'm going to put a link to this blog site on mine.

If you have time and inclination, check out my prayer site: www.prayerforce.org.

In a world of competing and conflicting religious dogma, I provide prayers that will help people, if they use them.
