First off, let me say this — I acknowledge that there are deep concerns and differences with Barack Obama’s politics.

Insignificant that is compared with the legions of pastors and elders in the church today. Obama or McCain will exert far less influence over the coming four years than the tens of thousands of overseers who are charged with leading, feeding, and protecting God’s flock.

Attending a school assembly is always fun.  60 minutes of clapping for kids you don’t know for getting awards like ‘Giving Their Best In All Subjects” is sheer excitement.
One thing today stuck out to me so much I wanted to share.  At the end of the assembly, the principal pitted the K - 2nd graders [...]
