Predictable

That would be the word that I would use to describe that last election. The American people are so predictable. Just like in times in the past there was a pretty large section of the US that didn't like the views, backbone and policies of George W. Bush. But the major factor was that we had just dived into the recession nose first...our business policies done be banks were not the most upfront that they should be so out housing industry suffered causing lay offs and thousands of foreclosures. As in the past, the current president is blamed for everything...so, the answer, let's get rid of as many republicans as possible..this is not a new policy. This has been lived out before several times in our history...one time that stands out to me is the power change between Hoover and FDR. Yeah bug switch from republican to democrat there too.

The hero that we elected as president was Obama. Although totally inexperienced, the history making possibilities of electing our first black president was such a glimmer in our eyes was that that possibility totally blinded us to his experience. Now after only 2 years of him holding office we find, even in the public, liberal media, that he is very ignorant when comes to leading people and negotiating.

So with this last election, the unhappiness with the president's performance and the economy still not fully recovered we vote in yet another change...yep, we changed out minds back to the republicans.

Now, these republicans have looked at the past mistakes of their party and trying to learn from it...as the matter of fact the party is trying to reinvent itself by going back to it's core values. The reinvent if the party is called the tea party movement. The hero of this movement so far...Sara Palin. Does she deserve all the praise given to her...that remains to be seen.

However, what is seen is that this power movement in congress from democrat to republican is not a surprise...it has been and will be predicted and relived several times...but for the time being after the first of the year, welcome back republicans! Time to get to work!

Shake it UP!

Remember when Obama and His posse' got elected. It was going to be revolutionary! It was going to reminiscent of FDR and His cabinet that passed His every whim.

hm.........I doubt it.

Actually, although the democrats have had a majority in both houses, the revolutionary change promised in Government and it's bureaucracy has not happened...It's still the wild uncontrollable machine that you have to give and take in order to succeed.

The democrats expected this unexperienced man to lead America in an age of revolution led by the highest authority in the land. However, they forgot one minor or should I say major upset....He had no experience as a leader and not only that, but also, didn't now seem to have a leadership bone in his body.

Well, that secret is out...The republicans not only feel strength by the outcome of the last election, but by the compromise prone president.

Now, the trick for the republicans is for them to keep any major legislation from passing before Christmas break. However, this is often easier said that done, because the democrats will be trying to pass anything as fast as possible with its lameducks still in office...with their terms coming to an end, they have nothing to be afraid of.

Our prayer as Christians should be to pray that the only legislation that is passed is that which God wants to be passed... and then pray for the wise decision of our current representatives and those coming into office.

Earthquake?

Along with all the earthquakes going on in the world. There's an
earthquake going on in my life. What an earthquake... Really, it came
from the recent earthquake in Turkey. I started thinking about those
around me.. The people that I work with everyday, and then it hit me.
I did not expect it. What if an earthquake hit my work and the people
died! The thought startled me...

There, I woke up! I woke up out of my stupor of selfishness. No. I
wasn't doing anything deadly wrong...no awful sins. Just a simple case
of infatuation with myself. With life. With work. With money. With MY
future. With...well... With me!

But then there was the earthquake. The earthquake that awoke me to
myself. As the prodigal came to himself in a foreign land, I came to
myself in my foreign land of selfishness. It was time to run back to
the Father, but not to sulk or ask forgiveness 1000 times, although i
did ask forgiveness, but to work side by side or side inside with Him
in His mission to tell people of His live for them.

If there was an earthquake at work, would they go to heaven??? That's
the question. And am I leading them there?? Or if it came up would I
be ashamed of who I say I am at school?? Good questions, huh? And they
all deserved answers.

However, I knew what my answer was. I want to reach them. I want my
life to preach truth. I want to tell them of Christ's great love for
them!

So what in the world does this have to do with politics? Well, this is
the left out part in politics. This very conversation is conveniently
avoided in most talk about politics. Christianity unashamed. Living
the gospel unhindered. No apologizing for the truth. Time to connect
our Christianity with our politics. Time for Jesus Christ not to be a
side order but our dinner of life.

Time to live like there will be an earthquake tomorrow.
