“The only time you can tell a Democrat from a Republican is at election time”.

Yes the lines between Democrat and Republican are beginning to blur as we see the political machine begin to churn out the New and Improved Barack Obama

I believe that is exactly what we are seeing in the transformation of President Elect Obama.  The American Political machine is running at full tilt to produce, yet one more great President.

As we are beginning to see the compromises and out right, about face movements of our President Elect, what I have always believed is coming true once again. 

What other President kept all of his promises?  Or should we demand that Mr.. Obama keeps his word?

On one hand, we should expect this basically because the direction the U. S. is heading takes time to alter.  Maybe that will be all that Mr.. Obama will have time for, or be allowed.  We definitely see these days that for change to come it seems to take more that four years. 

On the other hand, I hope that I am wrong in the time frame for change, but with so many players and so many agendas to satisfy, it truly will take a great President to accomplish what he promises.  Can President Elect Obama accomplish what he says?

But let your word ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no.’ Anything more than this is from the evil one.  Matthew 5:37  (Christian Standard Bible)

Another Day in Crisis

Well good day to you, I see as usual the news on our economy just seems to keep having a snow ball effect. I know there are many of you that are doing your best to respond to this real crisis.

I can’t help feel that this is a great payback for those companies who took away our jobs and outsource them to other countries. I can’t help think that God is saying:

“And you think I will bless your company after what you have done, outsourcing all of those jobs to save a buck!”

I must admit, I hope this finical crisis causes these companies to come home and take care of their own first! I’m just sorry we all have to suffer through this too.

No I don’t know what God thinks or says on this matter, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.

I do hope that in all of this, that America becomes United again and takes care of their own first. after all who made these companies in the first place.

A beacon that provides for the needs of the people.

With the information age one of the byproducts rising to dominance is also the propaganda age. Not like in the cold war between countries, but between governments and individuals, between political movements and groups and agenda’s. 

We are no longer allowed the luxury of assumed truth.  Truth is a luxury like gold, that must be dug up from an earth of slander and misdirection.  From the claim found in the mountainous territory of liquid information.

But one of the benefits of this information age is the ability to seek out the truth. Not just simple relative truth, but absolute truth.  Not on a corporate level but on an individual level of effort.  Which is becoming the right and responsibility hopefully, of the individual.  Truth is still available to the individual if one will search and dig for it with diligence. 

Gone are the days of blind faith and trust. With so many players on the field, accountability is a luxury that accompanied honor, which has been replaced by deception and foolishness.

Honor and accountability? Is a fleeting character of truth looking for the shinning light.  My hope is that Honor and accountability will become that unusual beacon of the light of Truth that everyone is drawn to in times of despair and uncertainty. A beacon that provides for the needs of the people.  That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it.  Gospel of John 1:5 (CSB)
