The Audacity of Faith......

Well here we are less than one week away, can i just share what has been on my heart lately?

Some of you may have already read this in an email I sent out earlier. If so that's fine, if not please take the time to read every word of this. Whether you lean right or left, this is important!

Yes, I am very opinionated about politics and I do get into the process, but God has really laid something on my heart.

No man can be our Saviour, except for Christ; no man has all the answers to the problems of the world, except for Christ; no man has any inherent moral authority, except for Christ; AND no man has suffered the way my Lord suffered for me and all the world! You see, I am positive that we should vote our convictions as followers of Christ. Ultimately, though, whoever "wins", Jehovah God is still and will always be in control! He WILL be glorified ultimately! And I would stake my life on this.......If our personal focus is Christ, all other things will be in focus. I feel that whatever happens, whoever is in control of this worldly place, we are in for quite the "ride" as Followers. We have an urgency to share what we have been given in Him! Regardless of the laws of the land, true freedom only comes in knowing Him! We have to make that known!

God Bless us all! And please do pray without ceasing, regardless of the outcome!

In Him,

Greg B.

20 days til Armageddon

Maybe the title is a little bit overzealous, but is it? You know, we have such a responsibility as citizens to do what we feel is right. No matter which way you lean, please vote (as long as you are registered). Hang on, I think A.C.O.R.N. is ringing my doorbell. Nevermind, must be hearing things. So where was I? Oh yeah....vote. I have no problem saying that I will be voting for McCain/Palin. I do have some issues with McCain, and though some will disagree, I think Palin is the right one for the job at this point. From an issues stand point, she's the best choice we have. Simple fact is that Obama is far-left of the mainstream of the country in his ideas and plans, regardless of what some would say. What record he has, shows clearly how liberal he is. He is in favor of redistribution of wealth, even though he would not call it that. He calls it "spreading the wealth", sounds much less Marxist doesn't it? Leave out all of the "character" and "judgement" issues with his personal associations over the years, this guy should get routed on his stances alone. I know that some do agree with him....Louis Farrakhan actually did call him "messiah". There is Bill Ayers. Then ACORN.....wait I wasn't going to go down that road....doggone it. ;) Really I vehemently disagree with him on the issues, all the other things compound my reasons not to vote for him, and yes in some ways I am voting against him rather than for McCain. Before you blast me for not voting for some third party candidate and voting my conscience, hear me out. My conscience leads me to believe that Obama as President, Pelosi as Speaker, and Reid as Senate Majority Leader would be a disaster for our country. I do not want my girls growing up in a situation where they have to depend on the government for most everything. And if you think that's not the direction we will head with that group in charge, just sit back and watch. I promise it will happen and it will be devastating.

I realize I have rambled on here, but I am truly concerned about what will happen in 20 days. We have an incredible choice to make, please, choose wisely.

It seems to have been years........

So it's been a while. Honestly I have had a lot on my mind, just too much to spill out here. A quick word on the election.......aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Now that that is off my chest......Let's talk important issues.....I am seriously going over to the dark side for the rest of the college football season. No, seriously, I have to be able to pull for a legitimate SEC national champ contender. So, thus far, save on blocked extra point, the Gators are the closest thing to it. Now I know some of you are probably ready to slap me about now, but come on. Tennessee almost lost to Northern Illinois. Phil even said on the radio last night that he wasnt sure what was wrong with the offensive line?????????? Isn't this his specialty. Oh, did you hear that he is being considered for new chief of FEMA? Who else do you know that could evacuate over 100,000 people with so little effort? (badump ching) Anyway, they are awful this year. I mean, bad. What? I didn't have to tell you that? All that to say, even though I will still hold on to hope that we can pull out some kind of miracle and win a few more games this year, my hopes are riding on the hated Gators the rest of the season, just this season!
