Send the Nanny to Congress

Pardon my Ignorance but are the Republicans and Democratics ever going to stop bickering in Congress. I was waiting for our President to set a new standard of coorperation but even he has gotten caught up into Washington politics. Health Care, bailouts, taxes, big government or small-nothing can be agreed upon these days. The problem is with our Congressmen who vote party lines and won't compromise even if it might benefit our nation. Will they even listen to the other side and vote their conscious?
What we need to do is send in the Nanny to The Congressional Chambers. When things at home are in a stalemate, JoJo creates a way to make their home to run smoother. Surely she could do the same with the childish behavior of our elected officials.
JoJo would not allow name calling and blaming between those who make our laws. She would make them apologize and not leave the room until they came up with a solution. For bad behavior she would send them to the reflection chair. We might have to line the whole chamber wall with reflection chairs.
We all want a civil, honest and conciliatory tone on Capital Hill. We want them to work together to solve our problems. We want men and women we can respect even if we don't agree with to run our country.
I've written a prayer for congress which is in my newest book, Big Prayers for Small Minds-Prayers for our Nation.

Our State and Federal Congress

“For lack of guidance a nation falls,
but many advisors make victory sure.”
Proverbs 11: 14 NIV

Our Great Counselor,

We elected men/women to represent us as they make laws for our land. We realize that they have many pressures, conflicting viewpoints, various needs that they represent. Guide them today as they listen and debate bills on the congress floor. May they listen well, judge fairly, and make sound decisions. Do not let their decisions be clouded by self gain or favortism.
Create on the Congress floor a spirit of coorperation and goodwill. Do not allow pride or particianship to dominate the proceedings. Help our lawmakers to respond to their fellow congressmen with dignity, respect and kindness.
May bills be introduced that reflect your priorities. May the bills presented benefit the poor as well as the rich. Block self-interest that put riches above our citizens wellbeing. Give our lawmakers today, compassion, fairness, and generosity. May the decisions made today be your will.
Bless the family life of our lawmakers as they serve far from home. May their marriages stay strong and their children be blessed. Honor them for their service.
Give our mayor and city counsel members wisdom as they make decsions for our region. Give our State Governor the knowledge he/she needs to lead our state. In Jesus Name, Amen.
