My Thoughts

I don't often talk politics, and I never blog about anything political. But this time I am...


It seems like during this election process, everyone is looking for a savior. Someone to swoop in and save us all from all the problems in the world - included those that we have self-inflicted. But at some point we have to take responsibility for our own actions and choices. We can't expect the government to fix all our problems. The President of the United States of America is not a savior. And will never be our savior. We already have one. The President is our chosen leader. But not our savior.

The government will never be able to fix all the problems and help all the hurting people. WE are the ones who are called to help those in need. WE'RE supposed to be the change in the world. WE have a job to do. And until we realize that, nothing's going to change.

Well put friend...electing someone who will only enable us to keep pointing the finger away from ourselves is not going to be helpful. I'm just trying to remember Daniel 2:20-22....God's bigger than this. Regardless of the results, our country has gotten itself into a huge mess that the government can't and shouldn't get us out of. Hopefully we'll start to realize that so real changes for the better can finally start to be made.

Sigh...Just wish it didn't have to go this way, but I guess God knows. :)

very very well put. I think many people forget that WE are responsible for ourselves and should be more giving to others.
