Editor’s Note: Gov. Perry is our guest devotional writer.
Focal Passage: I Kings 14:10 — “I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall.”
The Obama administration’s criticism of the controversial video showing Marines urinating on the bodies of dead Taliban fighters is simply over the top. After all, it’s something we all do when nature calls. Even liberals.
Prayer Time With Perry
From the scripture above, it’s apparent the Bible doesn’t want us to relieve ourselves anywhere except in official, designated urinals. But when you gotta go, you gotta go. They’re in the middle of a desert out there. These are young 18- and 19-year-olds and they’re gonna make a lot of mistakes. Meaning of course that they should have relieved themselves before they left on their sniper mission, sure.”
It’s really a logistical mistake. The Obama administration has not provided adequate bathroom facilities for the troops in the Afghan theater of war. Big government red tape requires dozens of port-a-potties for one of our Tea Party gatherings of only a few hundred people. Shouldn’t they have thought about this with 100,000 troops in Afghanistan? Darn right!
The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it!
