I Was Wrong, For Now, Final Version

It sounds like President Obama is going to sign the reversal of the "Mexico Policy" today. He hasn't signed anything yet, but all sources say it will happen today. He decided that it would be prudent not to sign anything until the day after the anniversary of Roe. So what can we learn from this?

1. Barack Obama was respectful of pro-lifers who remember the anniversary of Roe and consider it a sacred day (I suppose the act could have been motivated by political expediency, but I'll choose for now to believe that waiting was a gracious and respectful act).

2. Barack Obama showed no respect--in fact, he showed blatant disrespect--for the life of the unborn. His waiting a day does not diminish the affect of his decision.

3. This does not mean prayer went unanswered yesterday. The larger point that must be made, especially if I am to remain sane, is that God is in control of Barack Obama, and that God is good. God has seen fit throughout history to use evil men and women to bring about his good will (e.g. me). Some have been notoriously evil (e.g. Pharaoh, Saul, Nebuchadnezzar). So the answered prayed came as a result of God's intervening, not Barack's goodness.

4. Though a small prayer was answered yesterday, we still must pray for and wait expectantly for a complete reversal of Obama's anti-life philosophy. Please join me in interceding for him.

If you're so inclined, I'd love to hear your feedback on this post.
