I tried writing this as a facebook note but fb wasn't working and letting me post, so here it is on xanga.

outrage at our nation's capitol is nothing new - its reasons may change with the acquisition of new members and presidents, but it is always there for something. Why are we surprised and outraged now for a seeming injustice of lowering the standards and value of the Nobel Peace Prize by giving it to someone who has so far, only spoken "beautifully" and for futuristic views and dreams? Who has so far done nothing to earn it?

Maybe a better question is, why is it that the people who win office seem oblivious to the bold facts staring U.S. citizens in the face on a daily basis?

Why is another deserving candidate for the Prize neglected in order to honor someone who only knows how to mold words that are pleasing to ears of Americans? Who has so far done nothing to physically further the object of Peace?

following excerpt from news story http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20091009/us_time/08599192939500

"Compare this to Greg Mortenson, nominated for the prize by some members of Congress, who the bookies gave 20-to-1 odds of winning. Son of a missionary, a former army Medic and mountaineer, he has made it his mission to build schools for girls in places where opium dealers and tribal warlords kill people for trying. His Central Asia Institute has built more than 130 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan - a mission which has, along the way, inspired millions of people to view the protection and education of girls as a key to peace and prosperity and progress."

This is never going to change. The standards of the Nobel Prize have been shamefully lowered,  yes. But gladly we, as christians, know that this is only the beginning - a small addition to a growing list, a list that has been around since the beginning of time. The Nobel may be viewed as a highly prestigious and honorable award - but we know one that is far Greater. Be thankful for a True Leader who will never lead is in false hopes, dreams, and promises. All of God's promises hold true, now and forever. Praise His Perfect and Holy Name!

Now to end on a lighter note... Also an excerpt from the above link,

"There comes a time when a President needs to take a real risk - and putting his prestige on the line to win the Olympics for his home town does not remotely count."

But - that's why they gave him the prize isn't it??? He finally broke a sweat!

when we go to church I'm bringing my camera to take pictures and post for you all. Meanwhile I am just typing to type because I'm in a wierd mood.
