Dr. Shane Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Obama Keeps the Faith on His Blackberry President Obama has long stood out among his fellow Democrats for the ease with which he speaks about his personal faith. In an exclusive interview, Obama told ABC News his spirituality has deepened since he took office six months ago. "I had a habit of praying every night before I go to bed. I pray all the time now," Obama laughed. "Because I've got a lot of stuff on my plate, and I need guidance all the time." ...Obama said his personal BlackBerry, which he famously fought with the Secret Service to keep, has actually become a tool of keeping the faith. "My Faith and Neighborhood Initiatives Director, Joshua DuBois, he has a devotional that he sends to me on my BlackBerry each day," Obama said. "That's how I start my morning. You know, he's got a passage, Scripture, in some cases quotes from other faiths to reflect on." ...For now, Camp David supplements the family's spiritual life. "You know, we've been attending church -- there's a little chapel up in Camp David when we go up there," Obama told Moran. "There's a wonderful young pastor up there, a chaplain, who does just wonderful work. And the Camp David families attend." [text taken from link] Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
