My .02
I have been telling my 3 sons since they were young, don’t ever hand me age as an excuse. God himself decided that the Virgin Mary was old enough to be the mother of Jesus at the age of 15. You were created with an innate ability to know right from wrong, a conscience that has been formed by life, and enough character to do it.
The public school system takes a huge amount of the school day to teach that character counts, so don’t tell me that by 21, a person can have a youthful indescretion that is so blatantly obvious. Character flaws are red flags for a reason.
I watched part of an old Billy Graham crusade on television last night.
He spoke about our God-given conscience and that the Holy Spirit speaks to us through our conscience.
He said this was proof that there was a divine creator, because even children know right from wrong. They have a strong sense of justice.
I’m all for forgiving a sinner, certainly.
But that does not mean someone should be rewarded with such a powerful position in government.
I believe to serve in government your record should be held to a higher standard.
