Maybe I am just noticing things now more than in years past, but there are some things that just absolutely cause my hair to stand on end when I hear them these days. I was driving to work this morning when an ad came on the radio for a politician running for office in Mississippi. They were pointing out the candidate was a born again Christian and knew how God took care of us. Well, so far so good. I am a born again Christian and I too believe that God takes care of us, maybe they should have left it alone right there, but not today. They went on to say how this wonderful candidate knew that government needed to take care of our needs as well.
That is when I came to the realization that screaming at the radio doesn’t seem to do any good at all. Where does anyone get the idea that the job of government is to take care of us? THEY WORK FOR US! They are not our parents or guardians, we tell them what to do. It is not their position to take care of us!
But, that is just My Arrogant Opinion.

I second that!
My wife hates to be in the room when I watch the news because she knows that when these politicians start talking about how they are going to do this or that to make our lives better or to protect us from our own mistakes, I tend to start talking vehemently to the television. It doesn’t seem to make a difference though.
hit the nail right on the head.
go ron paul and dennis kusenech! (sorry for the sp)
If god takes care of us, why does the Pope need me?
PS. I’m more inclined to believe that the Sun takes care of us. See how well off you would be without that instead of being without God.
Well, from my perspective, I would rather put my trust in God than in a big ball of hot gas….I mean the sun, not politicians.
