I know I’m supposed to be writing about the debates, the polls, the negative advertising, what I think about Barack Obama -v- John McCain, but today I just have to comment about something I’m passionate about, and that is RESPECT!

I don’t appreciate negative advertising, from either side, but that seems to be the way it is in the game of politics.  But what appals me even more is the new movie that is out that claims to be a biography (lying is “in” too!) about our President, called “W”.  How sick can you get?  Not only does it mock a man that should be respected, but it mocks the God that many of us worship and serve.  I’m angry, mad, disgusted!

As if that isn’t enough we have to have a movie out that’s only purpose is to put down Christianity.

Have you ever heard of the “Antichrist”?  It/he was prophesied in the Bible as being a big part of the “end times”, the last days before Jesus Christ is to return to earch, yes, the same Christ that is being mocked today.   If the things we are seeing today aren’t “antichrist”, I don’t know what is.

We should be ashamed of ourselves as people and Nation for letting things like this go on. No matter WHO becomes leader of our Nation, whether it be John McCain, or Barack Obama, they will receive my respect, and I will be praying for them.

My husband loves maps, so I’m sure that when he saw “map” mentioned in the subject line of an email, he immediately opened the email. Then after he read it, he shared it with me. Perhaps it’s one of those little stories that make the rounds by email, but it seemed appropriate to share this blessed Sunday, enjoy it again if you’ve read it already.

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his little girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked like, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby , and said, “Go into the other room and see if you can put this together. This will show you our whole country today.”

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map, correctly fitted and taped together. The father was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. “Oh,” she said, “on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got Jesus back where He belonged, then our country just came together.”
