Open Letter to President-Elect Obama

January 20, 2009, by Zack No comments yet

Ron Jones – pastor of Immanuel Bible Church in Springfield, Virginia, where thousands of people worship each weekend from the Washington D.C. area, many of whom are Pentagon leaders, White House officials, and members of Congress – writes a compelling open letter to president-elect Obama.

I say amen and amen!

Have you signed the petition against the Freedom of Choice Act?

What are you waiting for? Wait an hour and 133 more abortions will be perfomed in the US. Wait a day it’ll be 3,300 abortions…

Dear Mr. Obama, I have a question

Dear Mr. Obama,

Congratulations on your big week!

I know this has been a very long time coming, and yet in other ways I’m sure it has come up like a whirlwind!

I have to admit, although I don’t agree with you politically about some things, you seem to me like a guy with a lot of class…

Oppose the Freedom of Choice Act

November 16, 2008, by Zack No comments yet

From another blogger named Zack (I was signature # 156,821 on the petition):

“In God We Do Not Trust”

November 8, 2008, by Zack No comments yet

Check out this insightful blog post by Mark Driscoll about the recent election. I feel like he summarizes some things that I noticed as well. Here’s a snippet:

First, people are longing for a savior who will atone for their sins. In this election, people thirst for a savior who will atone for their economic sins of buying things they did not need with money they did not have. The result is a mountain of credit debt they cannot pay and a desperate yearning that somehow a new president will save them from economic hell.

Second, people are longing for a king who will keep them safe from terror in his kingdom…

Final Election Thoughts

(I know this post is crazy long, but it’s because I took the time to say what I really want to say — and sorry it’s so blocky… wordpress keeps removing my line breaks…):
In a few hours, Steph and I are going to the polls to cast our votes… that is, if she doesn’t go into labor first.
I won’t be triumphantly casting my vote for anyone. Rather, I will be doing so solemnly, out of duty, and based on the feeling in my gut from the Holy Spirit that certain people running will not be good for our country.
I have never been more emotionally frustrated about an election. The Democratic party is running on the idea that “things are bad now, so we will brand ourselves as the party of change, and vaguely define what that might mean.” To me, they are the big beautiful turkey in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Do you remember the scene? Everyone is gathered around the table for Christmas dinner, and Chevy Chase carves into this beautiful turkey, but it basically deflates as soon as the knife touches it… it was mostly just hot air.
