The Big Speech Thing Tomorrow

So...tomorrow is the big day - back to the books - but first, children all over America will be brought together to listen to some big speech thing.

Some are saying it's nothing more than indoctrination...

Some say don't worry, he's lost his Savior status. Others will be praying tomorrow that his teleprompter goes out again.

The Christian right can see the light. But wait, what have we here? John Piper is in favor of the president's speech? Go figure!

Whew! All I can say is...days like this, makes me glad to be a Canadian. No wait, let me correct that statement. Days like this, I'm glad I am a Heavenian.

~For our citizenship is in heaven,
from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ~

Philipians 3:20

Thanks, Carla, I needed a good laugh! Watching Obama lose his teleprompter reminded me of Toto pulling back the curtain on the wizard of Oz!! Priceless...

Haha, good one!

I'm surprised that clip hasn't been removed yet - it's pretty bad.

Piper had comments on his daughter wanting to hear the O's speech.

Lot of people were like, what?

I wonder why he took it down?

He did? Now that's interesting.
