Hi friends....

I am a self-professed a-political "pilgrim", passing through this land and on my way to heaven. That makes me normally not inclined to be involved or active in the political realm. This year, however, I actually registered to vote and I may well cast my vote this November. Tonight I am anxiously awaiting the presidential debate!

Unfortunately, I feel that the situation in our country most likely won't get any better, no matter who is elected president this fall. I take my rest and find my peace knowing that I am simply an 'alien' in this land and my home and inheiritance are in heaven. When 'push comes to shove'....all that really matters is the condition of our soul....not our wallets, our home or our jobs.

It sounds idealistic, but it's Truth. In the last chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon writes:

"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." NIV
