I took home the transcriptions of the Invocations from (Anaheim) City Council Meetings that I received at our last dinner/discussion and read them carefully. I noticed that collectively, the invocations thank God/Lord/Jesus for sovernly (sic) giving Anaheim the mayor and council members and to lead them in making wise decisions. Also, to bestow upon them blessings, wisdom, insight, guidance, strength, courage, conviction, protection, knowledge, assistance, direction, encouragement, etc. and also to give warnings not to move to areas we are not to move. It seems that the mayor and council are incapable of making decisions without help from God/Lord/Jesus.

I suggest that some research be done to find bad, unwise, or faulty decisions made by the mayor and/or council, trace back when those decisions were made, and study the invocations given at those meetings. If the God/Lord/Jesus that appointed them and gave them the above-mentioned attributes and they failed to work, that invocator’s God/Lord/Jesus should be banished from future invocations for failing to invoke as promised.
