However if they said, "We'll lobby for your return at the halls of Congress and the White House until you guys come back home and we'll also pray" it would have made me feel a bit more secure in my standing over there. Perhaps if more people stopped praying for us to leave Iraq and started doing something about it, we wouldn't be over there Just to cite an example.
Can't disagree with that point...

Well said Troop..JMHO.. Prayer and work go side by side. God is not necessarily in the hand out business. He is in the business of being a helping hand..with us working doing the physical..I put my trust in the Lord for spiritual and personal matters..For matters of work that needs to be done, I put myself in the hands of the experts to show me how to do that work..
