I must admit that the last post was somewhat of a re-action to some of the "political talk" that I heard coming from the mouths of some of my family...(you guys). My concern is not that you change your political views, but more importantly that you change the way you THINK and TALK about them. As belieivers, we are called to think and to talk differently concerning politics and human government. (Now, if your political views cause you to place American government and politics on a higher plane than that of the Kingdom of God, than I
am concerned about your veiws and not simply your talk, and IN A SERIOUS WAY!)
If you have not read the last post, I encourage you to go back and read it and comment on it. There were some comments added recently, so do go back and check those out too.
Today, however, I wanted to spur on some more thoughts about how we as Christians are called to view politics through a different lens than the rest of our culture...
Please click this link and read an article by Randy Alcorn (author of
The Treasure Principle and other good books).
Let me know your thoughts...because you should be thinking about it. If you aren't thinking...START (Ezra 7:10, Eccl. 12:9)!

I read the article by Randy Alcorn and it was very good. Very moving argument for the importance of voting against prochoice and proabortion.
What I really want to say is. . . can you believe we are getting another baby in this family in less than 20 days! Ooooo! I'm getting excited!
