America and Desicions Made...............

By
Real Estate Agent with REMAX 1st Olympic

Before I start this blog I want all the readers to know and understand... I love America and wouldn't live in any other country. We live in by far the best place in the world..

I just finished watching a clip from one of my favorite AR bloggers... Hugh Jones.. I then went and read through the comments and it hit me... My next blog and what I was going to say. So her I am at 11:15p.m. blogging with a concept.

All the time I hear people say that Relgion and government don't mix... Oh how wrong their statement is.

Why was America fromed... Do you all remember?? It was the Puritans that were trying to escape Relgious persecution from their Mother Land.... Does this bring back memories for those who have studied American History...

When they got here they had nothing.... truly nothing but the clothes on their back and their Faith in God... Thus our great Country was formed with God's divine blessing..

The problem we have today is we are trying to get God out of everything we do. Back in the day our Forefathers started their meetings with meaningful prayer, and the school day started the same way.

Do you think that they had shooters in our schools back then. Or how about  disrespectful students to the teachers... No we didn't....

Every decision we used to make was with careful consideration and prayer. Now because God gave men free will there were decisons that were made without careful consideration or prayers.

America has not always been perfect in their planning or government, but I have to say it is pretty darn good.........

The day we took prayer out of school is the day we started to lose the battle. Today everyone believes that our rights our free and that nobody can infringe upon them...

My oldest will throw it in my face a lot and wht she has failed to understand is that  your rights are not yours until about 18... some a little younger... Also I make sure my kids know how important to us that the Lord is..

I have to say I am not extremley pleased with my choices of Candidates... but you will see me voting.. because their were men and women who fought for the right to vote for women....

You must know that Politics and Religion does go together. One person who I would love to see during this Presidential race would have been Dr. Jerry Falwell.

I know he would be firm about why we should vote the way we should vote, and like the video I watched he would have pointed out the inconsistency in Obama' claim to Christianity....

To those who want to hold the Republicans held to the same standard.. I fully agree... If you are going to claim to be a Christian then you must follow Jesus Christ, He is the Only way to the truth and the light...

America was and is Blessed by God. I always wonder how long will it be before God stops saving our country.... Remember the Flood.... He sent his word that the city needed to stop... Since no one would listen God told Noah to make sure that he would build a boat.... and so we have it another divine plan by our Gracious Lord..

So again when someone ask me why I vote they I do I tell them because I can not vote for baby killers, those who promote homosexuality, and anything that I know is against God and His word.

I also want people to know whom may read this I believe this country is a melting pot... But don't take away my God Given Right to vote away. Know this I understand their are many religions and I am glad they feel free to worship in my counrty... But know this America was built and founded on Christainity and our rights should not be taken away because "Politics and Relgious don't mix".. What a cop out.....

Remember that our leaders are mortal men and they will and can make mistakes... when their eyes are not on the Lord.....What ir comes down to is don't claimto be something you are not...... That is not the way to get Christians to vote...

AGAIN POLITICS IN AMERICA DO BELONG WITH RELGION......

Heidi,

 

You're disappointed that out of 330 million people these two guys are "the best" we can do?

 

I'm voting too, holding my nose, but voting. The judicial appointments are way too important to sit this one out.

All of us who have opinions NEED N E E D to go vote, even if we don't think it'll help us in the short run.  Our greatest civic duty is voting, and it is UNAmerican to not vote.

Jim,

Yes I am dissapointed in whom we have the choice to vote for this year, however I am voting and I will not miss the election. I have not missed and election since I turned 18 and I actually was able to tell my mom how impotant her vote is to this countyr. She finally started voting regulary a few years back. I know that God is in Control. He already knows the outcome of the elcetion we just have to wait until the day to find out. Thanks for stopping by..
