Not trust what they are telling us (they say what they think we want to hear). Look at their voting records. I'm afraid we would see the "real man", and we may not be prepared for that.<BR/>Before I leave I have one question:<BR/>Which one of us will risk our life to openly serve God - who openly died for us.Mimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964142967384731979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220474839105988272.post-29701019593856214402008-08-13T14:56:00.000-07:002008-08-13T14:56:00.000-07:00We do take a lot for granted here in the good ol' ...We do take a lot for granted here in the good ol' USofA.<BR/><BR/>We take for granted that we have electricity when we hit the switch, that we have water when we go to the tap, that we can cross a state line without having to show papers or have permission.<BR/><BR/>We take for granted that we can go to the church of our choice, or choose not to go. We take for granted that we can say a prayer over our hamburger at the local restaurant. We take for granted that we can pray for each other and the pastors who continually (at least I hope it's continual) nudge, poke, and prod us to grow in our walk with God. We forget that in addition to our pastor preaching to us, we have a responsibility to spend time daily with God, in His Word, in prayer, and in living for Him.<BR/><BR/>thanks for the reminderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
