Making History.

I woke up sick today, and my body told me at 6:15 am it was time to start my day. Although I objected, my eyes would not re-close. So, I turned on the TV - and I saw the Today show.. and I thought, "YES! I never get to watch this"... so I turned it on. Apparantly, it's inauguration day for the 44th President of the United States. I have been shocked all day [and yes, ALL day describes that I have been watching this from 7-7, plusthe parties going on right now]. By shocked, I mean, I have never seen a president so idolatrized. I have never seen over 1,000,000 people on National Television put hope in a president. Someone JUST like them.

I don't think having the first African - American president means that for the first time Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream is coming true. 'I have a dream that one day my children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character'. His dream included equality for ALL people. As far as I am concerned... that has happened. Every race in America has equality. And though an individual may treat another indiviual differently doesn't mean that either of them has less or more rights or privelages. If you don't want the title... don't act the title.

I am reminded today of od's love for us - he didn't make me to love this country (PRAISE GOD!).
...I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the nations. - Leviticus 20:24

In Matthew 16, Jesus tells us to be aware of the Sadducees and Pharisees. These were two large political groups. Sound familiar?

Lastly... my allegiance goes to a King in a kingdom, because we'll never have a savior on Capitol Hill - Derek Webb.
