I'm trying to limit TV watching as much as possible to see if I can really make it without cable and to avoid the political commercials. It is disturbing to hear what the political candidates are saying. Zach Wamp said, "I want to restore our country to it's Judeo-Christian roots". What in the world does that mean? What else would he like to restore? Slavery? Unequal rights? I thought this was a country that allows FREEDOM of religious discrimination and separation of church and state. He also claims to be a "conservative Christian" while slandering others. People wonder why church attendance is failing. I'm not sure I would like to attend church with "Christians" like that. I definitely would want him as my preacher.
Now that I have gotten started... Why in the world do we think we can fix governments in other countries when we have so many problems in ours. We need to get the plank out of our eye before we begin to get the speck out of others. We should lead by example. Hmmm... I remember hearing that somewhere in that book I read so often.
Group Spiritual Direction started back. We explored the words and meaning in the Lord's Prayer. What once seemed like a simple daily prayer became quite complicated. Why do we interchange debt, trespass, & sin? What is this Kingdom we ask to come? What is this time of trial? Great discussion and fellowship! Welcome back Pam & Bude :)
