You hit it on the head, sweetheart. We have a lot of work to do to turn the hearts of people toward God. And we need the unity that comes from serving the King of Kings.

Marla is “are you sure you live in Florida”-homeschooler kind of white.

And you are pretty Irish…

What? Marla is white? Just kidding…

Though funny that Barack is as black as I am Irish.

Good thoughts, Brent. We had a big proposition in our state that came down in support of traditional marriage…a good victory.

I wonder if some people’s hearts — just some because not all people think this way — will be more open now because they “won.” Surely the win will take a few chips off their shoulders, and maybe they can hear our words or see our lives better as a result?

Marla:

Well stated!! I am concerned, but resound with your sentiment. I am concerned about our nation’s moral and ethical decay, and, therefore, about our future, and the election of Barack Obama does not ease those concerns. But just as he did not get us here, he alone cannot “fix it” either. With the votes for traditional marriage juxtaposed against the election for president–seemingly at odds–it goes to show that there is a moral fiber that still allows for hope and pleads for the Christian people of a nation founding on Christian principles to stand up, and bring about the change that is so needed, not just for our nation, but for the world.

God is, and always has been, way larger than any one election or any one leader, even the leader of the free world. While some would clamor to remove any evidence of His leadership in our nation, the bills do still say “In God We Trust”–let’s strive to keep it that way!
