The Messiah Draws Nigh...

Well with the election to the south of me it seems the messiah will be announced tonight. Yes that statement is full of sarcasm. But it seems to me as I have watched Obama's followers , there is almost a messianic quality to the passion they have for his candidacy. However realistically there is no way he can deliver the promises he has talked about , nor will his empty rhetoric work once he has to run the most powerful country in the world . With all the turmoil going on in the world , I think McCain would be the better choice but the Bush shadow has lingered over Obama's rise to the throne. On a level playing field I really believe McCain would mop the floor with Obama. What bothers me the most about his candidacy and probable ascension to the White House, is that we have a man who supports not only abortion , a crime against humanity but a man who publicly supports infanticide . But if he is elected the bottom line is God is still on the throne and Christ is still king and one day unless Obama changes his views and repents , he will answer for his positions on abortion and the promotion of gay rights . May the Lord indeed change this mans mind on these issues and bring him wisdom that comes form the one who is the truth , the life and the way .

Actions Speak LouderThan Words....

We all have seen the commercials on TV. You know , the ones talking about children in absolute poverty , struggling to survive . We say how sad and then walk out to the kitchen to pop our popcorn in our microwave and then sit down to watch some make believe show that at times moves us to tears or we laugh ourselves silly forgetting the suffering , wanting to drown it out. Well my family finally sponsored a little girl and all I can say is , Lord forgive me for waiting so long . Actions speak louder than words and its time we act out of love and give these little ones hope .So go on World Vision , Compassion or Children Christian Fund and reach out and give,it will change your heart.

Just Because ...

Why do we buy stuff that we really don't like? Is it just habit or mind control perhaps! Just kidding, but when I'm driving and I pass a Tim Horton's ,I always feel compelled to get a coffee . I must admit I'm a weak man without caffeine , temptation stay away . However since I have had "good" coffee , I realize that Tim's is a habit more than good coffee. I know I step on sacred ground with Canadians but after drinking Just Us and T.A.N's , the bottom line for me is its just not that good. Granted it will do in a pinch but that's about it. So don't hate me for not liking Tim's but that's the way I see it or should I say taste it .....

Can We Trade , Please...

With both the US and my country , Canada , going to the polls , I have one thing to say . Can we trade candidates , please . The more I listen to McCain and Palin , I wish they were running here compared to the retreads we have . I don't think they will win with the American public gasping over the so called "second coming ", but I know one thing , Sarah Palin will be a force to reckon with in years to come . Palin for Prime Minister I say !

In from the Cold

Its been a little while but I have just returned to work , having been off for over a year . Its been a bit strange returning to a job I normally would have stayed away from like the plague . However winter is fast approaching and its not like a line up of potential employers knocking at my door.Its back to custodial for now. I know as a christian we are to do all as if we are working for the Lord but its hard when its not what you want or the pay is so little . But I will endeavor to work well and make the best of the situation.

Puzzling ...

Recently I read a little line on a company poster that as one of its 4 guidelines is in everything we do , may God get the glory . Now I think that is a fine motive and a good thing to excel towards . It is directly from scripture , that all we do is to glorify the Lord , if one is a Christian . However , what I found funny is this company pays as little as possible to its employees. At the same time the owner of the operation has reaped a very nice profit and which has afforded a lifestyle most of the workers could only dream of. In fact with most barely over minimum wage , most live a paycheck at a time .I do not think profit is wrong ,or that one who risked much doesn't deserve to reap the spoils , so to speak . But I contend if this company is run by a Christian , they must go beyond the world and offer more . Not living off the backs of the worker . We all deserve a decent wage for a honest days pay but sin corrupts, even believers can fall into greed and tipping the scales to favor them .

X Marks the Spot!

Well its not only election fever to the south of us , it will be here as well. We hit the polls on Oct.14. The question is , can the Tories win enough of the popular vote to win a majority. Some have suggested an "hidden" agenda that the evil Harper has in store for the country if he gets his majority. To that I say , show me the money ! Its tiring rhetoric to my ears.
The issue that will force my ballot to be marked with an X is the protection of the unborn. I will never cast my vote behind a candidate that advocates the murder , yes you heard that word right , murder of a helpless child. We are all made in God's image and a society is measured by how we protect life . So any candidate that comes to knock on my door will be given the boot on this issue, and the sad thing ,I will probably be kicking them all off my door step.
