The Messiah is Here!

No wait, never mind that was just Donald Trump on TV.

There.. with this one statement I am able to divide my readers into two distinct groups.  
1. Those who love Mr. Trump's  fresh cander, and 
2. Those who consider 'The Donald' an abrasive/devisive blowhard.

Here we are knee-deep in the 2016 Election year with the leading candidates being The Donald, Hillary, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders and no matter who you like or dislike the least :) I have noticed with my keen eye for detail the Messiah is not on the ballot.

We are barraged with new polls telling us who is winning, who is likeable, to be trusted, tough on terror, pro-life, pro gun rights, who is most likely to be spotted hugging a tree, and maybe who is most likely to floss daily.  Who will win Iowa?  win the South, the Evangelical vote, black vote, Latino vote, and the very important 'finger to the wind' vote.  All of this information is neatly packaged for us with the bias of your choice Fox News (righties) and everyone else (lefties) in easy to consume news bites. Or as I like to call it, JUNK FOOD for the voting public.

What seems lost to me in all of this is FAITH. While being a good Christian would not make you a good president (else I would vote for my wife), still our Christian faith and traditonal values should be the guiding compass for all of us including presidential candidates.

So I conclude this little political vent by saying the Messiah is not on the ballot, but that is what we need more than a  Donald, Hilley, Bernie or Col Sanders.

Pray for our nation, and for a revival where we no longer apoligize for our Christian heritage and where Christian values are the norm not the exception and when the Messiah returns he smiles and says well done.

Blessings

Jeff
