Politics

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;
when the wicked rule, the people groan. - Proverbs 29:2

I have talked about how I thought I was being led to go overseas to the mission field. I am having second thoughts now. The time I have spent at the capital has been eye opening; I still can’t believe I am getting paid to do what I am doing.

I have always had politics in the back of my mind but I never really thought of it as a real possibility. I am now seeing how possible this can be for me and really starting to plan my life for it. America is the best country in the world; by a lot. Some people don’t believe this and it hurts our nation. I believe in America and I will fight for its people. It is going to be hard to find a district conservative enough to elect me but I will try, it helps being a Sununu. I want to see America; my beloved country raised up not tore down any more. A limited government would be really nice to see again. It takes a smart man to be an effective politician but I know God will lead me. I mean that’s why I am getting into it in the first place, to honor God.

Pride

And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. - Luke 9:23.

I have a pride problem.

Pastor Erik talked about this verse a while back and once again reviled this to me.

Everyone has their own personal "cross" which they must bear. My cross is not the same as yours.
