Just Thinking
1 October 2nd, 2008I am convinced that if someone I loved was ill and possibly on the brink of death, after I prayed I would search for the best doctor I could possibly find. I would want someone who was capable, experienced and well trained. It is no different with my country, The United? States of America. She is ill and on the brink of collapse according to those who are supposed to know. I am told that well over half of the U.S. claims to be “Christian”. If that is the case we need to put someone in power that is going to give the government back to the people. If and when that happens we (Christians) will be the majority and will be able to make laws and have rule over our fellow countrymen. After all that appears to be what we really want. We don’t seem to be interested in what’s best for our country, only what’s best for our political or religious tribe. In the above scenario about the doctor most of us Christians would not concern ourselves with whether our “good” doctor was of our same political or religious background or not. We would just want a good doctor to fix the problem. May I suggest we stop listening to all the slurs and slams and search out what is really best for our country at this point in history. My friend Danny Brooks wrote a song that one of the lines says “You won’t go wrong doin’ right”. Search for what is right and best for our country and just do it…oh buy the way right usually cost you something. I am growing weary of all the religious rhetoric and the political bantering because neither contain much truth lately. Why don’t we try that “Of the people for the people and by the people” government, think maybe “we” can fix it? “They” haven’t and “They” ain’t going to.

Hi BL
Goodd stuff. Aren’t you glad we already have the best physician – open 24 hours a day, on call whenever you need Him, locations in every city in the world and He has a guaranteed solution to every sickness – even for countries.
I found the greatest device to end the bickering, deceit, hateful unGodly politics & things going on in the country & the world. It’s called the “off” button on the remote! It’s so unsettling to hear & watch all this stuff. Thank God we’re in this world and NOT OF IT.
I just pray & leave it to God. Iknow we have to do our part but to me, that means prayer & praise. It’s all we can really do – everybody is on a soap box it seems with the media & politicians – looks like we could be swallowed up by suds. But, our Father is well able to fix whatever anybody’s goofed up. And I’m sure He appreciates the praise – think how sad He feels when He looks at the condition things are in.
There’s always room in the Secret Place.
Blessings & a big Illinois hug to Johnny B!
