To the victor in Egypts presidential race: a terrible economy – CSMonitor.com.

The Muslim Brotherhood has fronted a candidate. A former ally of Mubarak may even run. But whoever wins will start with less than half the foreign reserves Egypt had before the revolution.

By Dan Murphy, Staff writer / April 3, 2012

The Muslim Brotherhood, after months of denials of interest in the presidency, nominated one of its own for the presidency of Egypt this weekend. In Cairo yesterday, rumors were flying that Omar Suleiman, the retired general who emerged as one of Hosni Mubarak’s closest confidants in the final years of his rule, was priming for a run of his own.

Obama – the man with no shame

Obama Slams Supreme Court over Obamacare – Heritage Morning Bell – Mike Brownfield – April 3, 2012 at 8:33 am

Brother Lawrence: Think often on God…

“Think often on GOD, by day, by night, in your business, and even in your diversions. He is always near you and with you: leave Him not alone. You would think it rude to leave a friend alone who came to visit you: why then must GOD be neglected? Do not then forget Him, but think on Him often, adore Him continually, live and die with Him; this is the glorious employment of a Christian. In a word, this is our profession; if we do not know it, we must learn it.”

I arise today through the strength of Christ’s…

I arise today…
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his descent for the judgment of Doom.
