		<description>I remember that phone call.  You remember my reaction?  How mad I got?  How hard I tried to convince you to stay?

There was nothing spiritual about it.  I just didn't want my main moog moving to freakin' Nebraska!

Sure, it turned out to be best for you, and I'm happy, but still!</description>

		<description>Glad to see you thinking out loud again!

There have been plenty of times I wondered about all the really bad years in the ICOC - was there good..really in that?  But I think of Rom 8:28 that if we love God, He can/did work good out of all of it.  He will with this decision as well.

I'll go think now.......

		<description>Rock,

Good observations.  I think most people who vote Republican over the abortion issue are mostly ignorant of our foreign policy.  It really takes a bit more effort to understand what we are doing with over 700 military bases in other countries as well as the number of people we are killing and just the simple fact that our presence in many countries is causing more enemies to be formed instead of less.  These things are not reported by the MSM.  You have to do some reading and some digging.  Antiwar.com is a great resource. http://antiwar.com</description>

		<description>In recent year's I've leaned toward being an "Amerophile", or whatever the equivalent of Anglophile is. Mark Twain, Jefferson, Lincoln, MLK and on and one, not to mention many contributions to popular music and culture. Politically, the stakes seem pretty high at the moment. Hope you guy's can sort things out over there. 

To the Author, God bless, I hope His tender whisper speaks once more into your heart - and soon.

		<description>I'm anti-abortion, but neither political party is going to eliminate it. The Republicans are the most hypocritical in that regard. They controlled all three branches of government for several years. They had enough control to do enough things that are too numerous to list here. Yet, abortion was not on their radar. From President Bush on down, there was no serious attempt made.

Why? A cynic might say it is because the abortion issue is worth a lot of votes for Republicans. There are probably millions of people who are voting with abortion being among their most important issues in elections ranging from President to Congressman to Governor. Many of these people may be turned off by the Republicans handling of foreign policy or the economy, but think is their duty to vote Republican because of the abortion issue. 

What do you think?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;However, I am finding that I cannot hear God anymore. For years now, I hear the voices of men when I read the Bible. I hear my own voice many times and like to attribute it to God. I have not given up the faith, but I have a real problem. The faith I have feels like it is a stapled-on addition.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I hear stuff like this from friends and it breaks my heard.  BEG once told me (when he lived only 2 miles away) that when he was away from Columbus, he could &lt;em&gt;worship&lt;/em&gt; because he was away from the issues of the church here at the time.  I had been trying to talk him out of moving away, but when I heard that I told him then he needed to go.  It broke my heart, but he needed to get away from the hurt and issues so that he could see God again.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say other than my heart is with you.  I hope that you find peace in Him soon, and patience, perseverance &#38; faith for the mean time.</description>

		<description>Bobber,
Not talking about politics.
I've given up talking about it in the blog world not every talk is about how to vote for.</description>

		<description>Old Turtle?  How about Thomas Jefferson?  What significant difference is there between these two candidates?  

Ok, McCain gives more lip service to pro life.  But he wants to fight North Korea, Iran, and bring every ex-soviet state into NATO so we can oblige them in there fear of Russia by guaranteeing a war.  Obama is hardly different on this point.  He wants to move the troops in Iraq over to Afghanistan and run special ops and who knows what else into Pakistan as well as support NATO expansion.  How can any Christian in their right mind support either of these dictator wannabes?</description>
