Oh yeah . . . I forgot I had a blog

My daughter sent me an email yesterday telling me I needed to keep my Blog updated. I have been very remiss in my blogging responsibilities (although I think only a few people will ever read this!) Today being Election Day, it seems appropriate to write something political. This morning I was reading about the many Christians being persecuted around the world for their faith. It made me think about the many Christians in our country who feel that their vote should be used to "keep America Christian." I have a different view, probably based on the fact that I think America's Christianity is not true biblical Christianity, but rather a social religion that attempts to uphold a moral tradition. While I have no objections to morality, as a biblical Christian, I realize that morality is not going to get anyone into heaven. I wish there was some way to transfer all of our political passion into evangelistic fervor! Today I am praying, not for the the judeo-christian ethic, but for an America that will best allow for the Kingdom of God to be proclaimed, both within our borders and around the world.
