Default A little prayer for us
Hello my friends,

Today is the first round of the french Présidential election.
5 years of incoherence and bad choices of the socialist president Hollande have brought the country to a very dangerous curve.
We could get 2 extremists in final : Le Pen on the extreme right and Mélenchon on the extreme left.
If this happens, that will be the end of the Euro zone and it could create a collapse of the whole world global economy.
France is in danger. But in this global world we are all in danger if such an occurence gets through.

My dear US friends, may I ask for a little prayer for us ? For the believers, please ask the Lord to protect France from these extremists and to give us the choice to elect a "normal", democratic President. Non believers : send us your deep thoughts. It works too !

Many thanks in advance.

Sending prayers to your country. God knows the world needs it, as well as we in the US need it more than any time in our history ... the world has become a very scary place...

I heard that one of the candidates says France would leave NATO and join with Russia. France is one of strongest military arms of NATO, the effects on Europe would be bad for democracy . As far as the euro and the effects on the economy it would be shaky for awhile for sure. Like I said when I was in Paris last month, your great city has many many attractions for the world to see so tourists will always come and spend money. The thousands of priceless art in the louvre and in the Monet museums alone could give your country a surplus just leasing off a few pieces for a few decades Fingers crossed your election goes well today. No matter what happens you will still live in a beautiful fantastic city. Don't forget to make music part of your day today.

Jerome.......Each of us is but a single voice. The best we can do is cast our vote and encourage our friends to share our ideals. May the Lord keep his powerful hand over France and guide the future in a safe and prosperous direction.
