[Think free or die]

The maniacs in my church are still very much present. I was irked to see that they even put "Yes we can" on the reply card for our annual stewardship campaign. We didn't tear it up, but didn't return it either. I'm still thinking about how to respond. There are many things I like about my church, but when the lefty politics are brought into it, it bothers me a lot.

When I can, I try to educate or challenge their thinking. Some are so far into the indoctrination it's hard to know where to start. I find many of them are expecting the economy to improve soon, as though it's a natural thing like winter following autumn. In those instances I usually express my opinion that the blithering idiots in Washington are destroying the foundations of our economy with excessive debt and spending. Even liberals can somewhat relate to the need to balance a budget.

I'm still thinking about how to respond.

Stand up..and tell the whole congregation you are living..and why.

How can you continue to throw pearls at swine?

How can you continue to sow seed in dead ground?

I've made that choice....a time or two.

But for different reasons...other than politics.
