Hey Folks..

With the dust of a historic election settling, I write about how we in the church tend to get distracted during times like these. I fear that we, and it seems especially those in the clergy, get so territorial about our ideas about the paths the church should take in times of change and turnoil. So it seems during this election. For I believe the foremost issues were not about race or the equality of women, but should be about society's treatment of the poor and the unborn, St. Paul wrote about our distractions in his letter to the church in Corinth. As with every word of scripture, his message to us who yet walk on earth in the Spirit, give warning to the church's true purpose to the world around us. Because of the length of my tirade, please see my thoughts about Paul's letter on:

Blessed are the peacemakers, for I pray that my words bring us together to witness of God's love.

Everyone is going to be held accountable to choosing to place people in leadership positions that did not uphold Godly values and thereby promting unGodly values.  By voting without studying what the candidate supported then you are standing in agreement to whatever values they hold.  As a result you could lose rights.  Just like the children of Israel crying to God give us a king, we too may be paying a price for making choices without seeking God's will.
