Love Affair

For now America has a love affair with our new President-elect. All their hopes, dreams and expectations are wrapped up in this one man. But my love affair is with one even greater - Jesus.

I am reading the book
Finding God Beyond Harvard-The Quest for Veritas
by Kelly Monroe Kullberg.
In it she quoted
"Jesus' offer of forgiveness and new life is the answer to sexism, racism, consumerism, injustice and cynicism. Where there is forgiveness and love, the cycle of evil is broken. Bitterness dissolves and gratitude emerges. With Jesus as our best friend, the world begins to look new and full of possibilities.
Full of Hope."
She spoke these words amidst an angry mob of socialist, NOW, Bi-Gay-Lesbian Rainbow Coalition and marxist members attempting to derail her talk on 'God's Word Speaks to Feminism" at SUNY Albany.
Again I am fascinated and ponder people's mindsets that are all for free speech as long as it sounds like their rhetoric.
I've tried the American way and quite honestly I know I have a better opportunity with the one who created me and loved me enough to send his son to die for me and all mankind; even when they don't know it.
I close with this scripture verse: “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.”Ps 20:7
