Funny, but probably true. I don't ever want to be in public office mainly
because of the daily scrutiny that would come with it. I have heard that
many Muslims have been trying to run for office to subvert the dominant
paradigm, but I don't really know if that's true or if it was an email
forward I got at some point. :)

All the economic policies and healthcare and the war all these things will be hashed out in congress and in the senate, so the president doesn't have full control of all this. That is why I continue to vote for the candidate who is pro-life.

Hey Sug,
That's really good! It kinda cooled me off a little this election evening as “my guy” lost. I'm still thinking that even France might be a better bet though…lol just kidding! give my best to Brea!

Nice quote! That is a great concept. We can't decide who God chooses, but we can decide to act in accordance with His Will.

Thanks for the compliment. I may still tweak the design a bit, but I like it too.

As far as the Old Testament goes I am in no way trying to imply that it is no longer valid for us today. Jesus himself said that he did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (or bring out its full meaning, Matthew 5:17-20). The expectations for grace-centered Christians are not lowered, the bar is raised! On top of that, the entire New Testament has its roots in the Old Testament. It's amazing to me how often I'll be reading from the OT and find something that makes me think, "Hey, Paul wrote about that in his letters."

What I am saying is that there is a misunderstanding of the USA. There are some/many who think that the USA is the New Israel alluded to in the Bible. This is a man-made idea. New Israel is the church, not a political entity or country. Any promises made to Israel are applicable to Christians everywhere.

Does that make better sense?
