Oct. 27, 2008 - WE'LL END UP IN NEXT THURSDAY
Ok, the first point that I would like to make in this blog entry is this:
The Rocket Summer and Relient K are officially the best non-Skillet bands in the world.
Now since we've gotten that taken care of, we can move on to the more enlightening subjects I shall present in such an entry as this blog. I'm reading Uncle Tom's Cabin. (I know - absolutely invigorating.) It's entertaining though, at the very least. I hate reading about slavery. It's such a black mark on our nation. Especially since Christianity was becoming so prominent at that certain time in history.
It was soon after The Second Great Awakening at Cane Ridge that slavery became more and more popular, and was accompanied by more violence, murder; the "Christians" were in the thick of it. Honestly, I bet they got pretty chewed out by God when they got to heaven. If they got to heaven. I mean, I believe that if you believe in Jesus as Who He said He Is and what He did that you are saved. Even Jesus Himself said that the only work God required was to believe in the One He sent. But that's the whole "fire-insurance" theology and if you get me going on that, we'll end up in Thursday and you'll still be reading the same post. 
So moving on...
It's especially interesting though now that we're like, what, 9 days away from the election? Something like that. You really can't expect me to remember the date seeing as how I'm not 18 yet and can't legally vote. So it doesn't matter anyway. But racism has played an incredibly large part in this election, as much as we dislike thinking that racism still exists. It does.
Now, even though I'm not 18, I still have my favorite candidate. I'm not necessarily one of those people who don't like one but don't like the other more. I happen to support John McCain and Sarah Palin because I do like them. I do not support Obama for this reason: Not because of what he looks like, but because of who he is. As the cliche goes, I don't vote republican or democrat, I vote Christian. Now, even if Obama is a Christian, he is pro-murder. He is also not verbally on the side of Israel, and if you believe in the Bible you know that whoever is not on the side of Israel is gonna be in deep trouble. His actions demonstrate strong solicist thinking and His advisors and colleagues on the left have been involved in political scandles and unconstitutional actions. ...Not sure how I got onto this subject, but I'd better make my point or we'll end up in Thursday yet again. The thing is, this election doesn't need to be about what the candidates look like. It needs to be about who they are. It also needs to be about where they stand with God. A lot of people think that sounds cheesy and that we need to focus most on the issues and the best thing for our country and it really doesn't matter if the leaders are Christians or not. But it does. When it comes down to it, you can look at Rome, and the Egyptians, and all these other nations that have risen and fallen in Histories past and the one thing they all have in common is that their leaders were not in right standing with God. The best thing for our country is God. Period.
Anyway. So I'm also incredibly stoked about this week. Tuesdays at my co-op are amazing. The Five Project has entered what we call a "Testimony Season" where we've all been taking turns stepping up and sharing with the kids during lunch about our own personal walk with Christ. It's been really awesome to see our co-op change from a Christian SCHOOL to a CHRISTIAN school. :) It's pretty sweet. I'm also leading worship on Wednesday night and my brother's playing bass with me and my best friend is doing sign language to one of my songs. :) And on Friday I'm playing out in Portland for a Fall Festival thing. It's pretty awesome. :)
Well, now I must get back to school. I smell a math test. Ew. haha.
