me? if i go in, god, are you going to go with me? we ve all fought battles where we didn t come out the way we thought. maybe it was because we didn t inquire of the lord. verse 19 goes on to say, the lord said to david, go, for i will surely hand the philistines over to you. and once he got clear direction, once he knew he had god s blessing, he went down there and defeated theph but if we would do like david and inquire of the lord before we get into conflict, before we make big decisions, go to god for daily direction, for daily manna, it would save us a lot of heartache and pain. i ve learned what god orders, he will pay for. but god is not obligated to bring victory to battles that we re not supposed to be in. but it s much better to inquire of the lord before you make important decisions. a few months later, the philistines came back to the same valley to attack david again. david could have thought, this is a no-brainer. i don t even have to pray about it t ....

along with their large family. there have been 21 families who have called the blaine house their home from the millikins in 1920 to currently governor paul lepage and his wife first lady ann lepage beginning in 2011. today when we think of james g. blaine in maine, i think we think primarily of the blaine house. it really is a symbol of both the maine governorship. and also of the state of maine as a whole. i think it is probably as well known a house as any in the state, and thus the equating of the name blaine with the governor s mansion really keeps his name alive and in the public today. the c-span radio app makes it easy to follow the 2016 election wherever you are. it is free to download from the apple app store or google play. get audio coverage and up to the minute schedule information for c-span radio and c-span television, plus podcast times for our popular public affairs, book and history programs. stay up to date on all the election coverage. c-span s radio ....

i know exactly the year, with then congressman dick gephardt who was running for president. and i knew dick quite well and i was chatting with him and i asked him, do you know the last member of the house who was elected from the house to become president? and he said no. i said, well, let me give you a hint. do you know who the only member of the house who was elected straight from the house to be president? and he still said no. and i said garfield. and he said they shot him. and i said you re running for the job, i m not. but garfield, as we ll see, in a brief period was president-elect, senator-elect from ohio and sitting congressman all at the same time. fascinating, fascinating guy. at the time he was elected president, he was by far the youngest president we had had in american history to that date. only two american presidents in our history died before reaching the age of 50, kennedy and garfield. obviously both for sad reasons. but he s the only house member, ....
