I don't understand.

I have an acquaintance...a woman I went to church with in New Jersey...who is a total Obama fan. She changes her Facebook status constantly to reflect how enamored she is with the man. Her latest status says "_______ believes Obama is the best choice for President because for one he gets it!.."A house divided can not stand"..He will unite us and make us strong again!!.." Hmmm... Not to be petty, but IMO, no man can unite a country. Not Obama, not McCain, not Bush, not Huckabee, no one. We as a country have to choose to be united. It's nice to say that "a house divided cannot stand". It's even a Biblical concept! However, unless the people decide that we will be united and make changes in our country toward that effect, no one person can unite us. I fear for our country's future. I'm not a political analyst or expert, but I don't think you have to be in order to see just what's happening in our country. States like Colorado (who passed a law forbidding the publication of any materials that speak out against homosexuality...HELLO...that's the Bible!) are dividing our country just by the laws they pass. In trying to "force" us to all get along, they are ripping us apart. Please tell me just how Obama thinks he's going to fix this!

Finally

Several of my friends have been blogging, and since I'm so susceptible to peer pressure, here I am! I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing with this....or if I'll even give out the address to anyone. It might be nice to keep this as a place to record my thoughts without having to worry about how politically IN-correct they are. I"m so disheartened sometimes at the fact that I cannot freely express my conservative, Biblical point of view in the mother's group I'm a part of. If I mention Christianity or even any Biblically-based thought on a topic, I'm immediately lambasted for being narrow-minded, judgmental, etc. I definitely have started keeping the majority of my thoughts to myself, which I'm sure isn't what God would want either. After all, who would stand up for Him if everyone felt the same way I do? I'm tired of tapdancing all around the issues so as not to "hurt" anyone's feelings. You know what? I AM narrow-minded...I believe the "straight and narrow" is the ONLY way. Do I think I have all the answers? Of course not. Do I think how I feel about every single issue is the only right way? Absolutely not. However, things that I know go directly against Scripture are WRONG. No ifs, ands or buts. And no one is going to change my beliefs by attacking me (or by any other means). It just amazes me that the very people who attack me when I express my beliefs want me to accept their beliefs without saying a word. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that pretty much the definition of hypocrisy?!?!
