A: Psalms 118:8
Q: Does this verse say something significant about God’s perfect will for our lives?
The next time someone says they would like to find God’s perfect will for their lives and that they want to be in the center of His will, just send them to the center of His Word!
Psalms 118:8
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.”
Now isn’t that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?
What was the Nobel committee thinking? The deadline for the nominations was Feb. 1, so Barry was in office for what, 10 days give or take. What did they think he had done or promise to do? He spent 147 days in the Senate and voted “present” about a dozen times (many more as an IL State Senator), he spent most of 2007 and all of 2008 until election day campaigning.
Oh wait, the prize must be for work that he did in the summer... the beer summit at the White House where he accused a white police officer of racism because he arrested a beligerent black man who was acting suspicious, who also happened to be a FOB (friend of Barry). Then he had to invite both of them to the WH because he was wrong for the accusation and it seemed like the thing to do. And, he made Europe less safe by taking down the missile defense shield in Poland. Yeah, that is it.

NO, you can’t be depressed at the Nobel Prize news. It’s so totally absurd, it is simply funny. It had me laughing uncontrollably here at work — more so than any thing I’ve ever seen on the silliness thread.
Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize is, in fact, the most silly thing that I have EVER seen on a Friday.
It’s not like Arafat, which WAS depressing, because it’s not that Obama did things that in fact were evil but are counted for good. It’s that Obama has done NOTHING for peace in his entire public life.
And their main reason for giving him the prize is that he said he wanted a world without nuclear weapons.
Well, I said that too — can I have a prize? My kids said that when they were in grade school. Doesn’t everybody except tyrannical madmen WISH that we didn’t have nuclear weapons threatening us?
It’s just that most adults actually know you can’t really make the world safer, or peaceful, by removing nuclear weapons, because you can’t get rid of them all. It’s impossible.
Except Obama doesn’t understand this, because he’s an idiot. And the Nobel people just gave out a peace prize to the guy that is too stupid to know that you can’t get rid of nuclear weapons and still have peace.
And that, my friends, is silly.
