My Mood

Lately it's been difficult to comment when so much is going on. Actually, I thought it was best to take a step back and try not to react so much as to digest everything going on and then write something a little more balanced and well thought out.

I think I should start with my mood which I would describe as "cautiously ok." Personally, everything seems to be running as good as can be, all things considered. I am still gainfully employed and my wife has a good job where she is valued and that's a nice feeling. I work in sales and the sense of being valued is fleeting to say the least. At least at my company it's never "great job and we're thankful to have you" but more like "what have you done for me lately." I'll never understand that. But the truth is, we're very blessed to have careers that allow us to take care of our obligations (even though it hurts sometimes).

The earthquake in Haiti is very sad and tragic. I know many thousands went off into eternity and as a born again Christian it's difficult to imagine how many died without ever accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior. The reality is, the majority didn't know Him and never asked Him to save them. It's not anything that can be changed now but it does give us a moment to pause and do a "spiritual checkup" on ourselves. We need to ask ourselves, "am I doing everything I can to spread the Gospel?" If the answer is no then think about all those who died in this earthquake and remember them. They had no warning before they stepped out into eternity...

Another thing that has my attention is this race in Massachusetts. Kennedy's old seat. I love what Brown had to say about it, "it's not Ted Kennedy's seat it's the people's seat." Isn't that so true. That belongs to the people of Massachusetts and not the Kennedy's or the Democratic party. They've held the seat forever but maybe now the balance has shifted.

I don't know what will happen but I do think it's ironic that if Brown wins this seat that he could be the one vote to break the super majority the Democrats now hold in the Senate. It would be a neat little footnote in History that the vote that could/would kill heatlh care came from the Senate chair of the man who was once the greatest champion of Socialized Medicine. How ironic indeed!

Folks, whether you want to admit it, look forward to it, or even care about it, the fact remains that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back AND soon! Don't be left behind and don't align yourself with wickedness and evil. If you find yourself going along with the majority then you may want to take a step back and test it against Scripture. It's the wide road that leads to destruction. Why is the road wide? Because it's the road that everyone takes...
