Saw the President Today. Bush.

10.23.04 (12:58 am) [edit]

So today I was coming home from my 45 minutes of Chemistry class at the University of South Florida. I was taking the number 4 bus from Gateway Mall just after coming off of the 100X, the express bus. We're headed towards downtown, as the sun sets. A police car blocks the roadway. Just beyond that I could see a half a dozen other police cars. Across the way was a gas station. I laughed. Then I saw the shocked expressions on people's faces. Then I went serious, and thought the gas station was being held up. I had my bible out because I was understanding it on the bus. So then I got out, bible in hand, and took a look.

The street was blocked off as far as the eye could see. The cars, also, were extended behind the blocked off streets as far as the eye could see. Everyone had their lights on. Some turned around and went the other way. Many people lined the street, sort of like a parade. The police told everyone to stay on the curb. Suddenly out of nowhere came a police officer on a motor cycle.
Then came 2 tow trucks. They were traveling at maybe 65 miles per high, highway speed. They had sirens.

Then maybe we waited a few minutes, and then it started. The bus driver and half the bus were out watching and having a smoke while the other half were upset about the traffic being blocked and stayed on.
A barrage of motor cycle police came whizzing by in single-file line. I counted 25.
Then, a barrage of SUVs. I counted 30. Then cop cars interspersed them, where I lost track at a number in the 20's. Then one more motorcycle policeman, making 26. Then I saw it... Near towards the middle of the end of the line were two or three limos. In one of them was George W Bush and his wife. There was a line on in the inside, and they were happily waving. I saw his gray hair and suit whiz by. He was waving in my general direction, on the right side of the vehicle, while the man's wife was to his left. Then, proceeding him were secret-servicemen in limo-van vehicles, dressed nicely in suits and business-jackets. Following the president's limo directly was an SUV with a man wearing a suit in it with the back window open where he would look and watch people on the sides of the street. Almost instantly, it ended in claps and cheers. The police moved their cars, the bus driver was ready to roll. I walked back just in time to hear the end of the political argument at the back of the bus that end with the words, "Whoop-de-doo."

Why was this significant to me?
Earlier on in that bus ride, I was ready a verse in the bible and looked out the window and saw in the Walgreens sign that it said, "Eckerds is closed Transfer your prescription here," in those general words. I thought backwards. Eckerds was a grave enemy of mine. The corporation itself not only turned me down from hiring even though their store manager wanted to hire me, but they did it twice, even after training me.
Then my bike was stolen there. And they offered no assistance. Then the store manager was angry at me for getting him into trouble with the corporation. And I despised their high prices and often made vows never to come back there again. I remember telling the clerk these exact words, "One day I'm going to raise a big corporation, and buy Eckerds out just to destroy the corporation." Well, ladies and gentlemen, I have a company today. There is no competition, but only corporation. And this company is Christ; Wherein I may have a thousand enemies in the world, but even greater are the brothers and sisters I have in Christ - who are my uncles, sisters, brothers, mothers, cousins... I have one big family with me.

Today, as I saw that sign, I prayed and thanked God that He took down my largest enemy, like David slew Goliath. No matter how big, God is in control. No matter how impossible it seems, He'll deliver you in front of even the president himself. And every leader of the nations of the world aren't anything in God's eyes, because He's no respecter of worldly authorities, Him being the highest Authority there is at any time.

I am ready to be delivered in front of even the anti-christ for the Lord Christ's sake. I'm ready to deliver the Holy Spirit's words in front of satan himself. No matter how big the enemy, or how large the authority, God willing, they're nothing.

[edit]

I just remembered... uh, apparently the man and his wife were headed to the Vinoy to have dinner. It's funny because, as sons of God, we're going to arrayed with more glory and beauty in God's kingdom than any president or anyone here, for that matter, when the Lord gives us His inheritance.

do you really feel satisfaction that thousands of faithful christians, your brothers and sisters in christ, have lost their employment, their insurance, and possibly indirectly will lost homes, cars, go bankrupt unable to pay their medical bills, and any number of troublesome circumstances because of the fall of this corporation? corporations are neutral -- they are neither good or evil. they are managed and funded by people who make mistakes just as you do. innocent people suffer when these mistakes are made just as innocents suffer at the hands of your mistakes. only god is perfect. jesus taught forgiveness and rebuked retribution and vengeance. "love your enemies" for who does not love those that love them...

I prayed for my enemy, as Christ did those that hated Him. And I continued to go there and buy things from them that other stores didn't carry, despite all of the things that went wrong there.
The Book of Psalms Chapter 59, Verse 9, says,
"Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence."
But, I've always carried the Book of Proverbs Chapter 30, Verse 5 around with me...
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."
I don't rejoice at the fall of an enemy, or to anyone's misfortune, but I do praise God because of it.

Besides, just to let you know, those people didn't lose their jobs.

Eckerds was bought out by CVS/Pharmacy, and all of the employees that work at the Eckerd I was angry at are CVS employees. Though CVS did close out some low-profit Eckerds, I'm continuing to pray for my enemy, and all those that it effected. Our Lord knows what He's doing better than anyone. I trust in Him. But death is more troublesome than unemployment. And more troublesome is God's adversary than mine.

good... it seemed to me that you were rejoicing at their demise. thanks for clarifying. its completely your business but i felt the sentiment was incongruent with the Spirit of Christ.

what about the gospel of thomas and the gospel of truth that were found this century in nag hammadi? do you consider these gospels, which may pre-date the source material for matthew, mark, luke, and john, to be "god's word"?

just curious...

I was going to say pretty much exactly what Kurt Maddox Said about the corporation thing.

About Bush, personally I don't think that he is doing Christianity the right way, by taking people's rights away and forcing everyone to think his views. However, I don't want to get into a political argument on your blog.
