It’s about 7am.\u00a0 I’m sitting in the quiet of the hotel room.<\/p>\n
Just went through all my email.\u00a0 This morning is the missions conference at First Baptist Church Mountain Park.\u00a0 Ashley and Bennett will represent our work in the area.\u00a0 I’m praying for that to be a fantastic meeting.<\/p>\n
The Saturday conference in New Hampshire went well.\u00a0 The more I hear about our Federal Government and the incredible waste of money . . . the more I wish we could get rid of the whole group of them and start over.\u00a0 I sure don’t think the founding fathers thought this is how it would turn out!<\/p>\n
Do you ever ask yourself “What do I get for my tax money?”\u00a0 I come up with roads and police and schools.\u00a0 Roads are almost always better privatized.\u00a0 Schools, at least in Georgia, seem to be a near total failure. The police are doing a good job, but are way undermanned and out gunned by the bad guys.\u00a0 Does our federal money even pay for the police locally?\u00a0 I’m not even sure about that.<\/p>\n
Does it seem to you that ALL the politicos in Washington are rich?\u00a0 Do you ever see an average guy in that bunch?<\/p>\n
I think of Jesus and the things he did.\u00a0 He was basically homeless!<\/p>\n
Bottom line for me, the real solution to this country’s problems is a spiritual solution, not a government one.\u00a0 Christians have got to be more socially active.\u00a0 Maybe not politically active, but at least socially.<\/p>\n
See a problem and try and help fix it.<\/p>\n
I have a burden for education.\u00a0 I believe that helping our kids learn is THE critical element in our society improving.\u00a0 When the guys I work with fail school, their next step is gang life.\u00a0 The better they do in school the more they steer away from the bad guys.\u00a0 It seems really clear.<\/p>\n
Who are you investing in?<\/p>\n
Peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
