As of late I have been inspired to blog again. Hoping vinj will write some of his thoughts too. So to you mom mostly here ya go:) lets see if we can get people interested again! Because the elections are coming up in Canada I have been looking into all the parties and who I want to support. In the past it has been Conservative... since learning more about God's heart and intentions, what His Kingdom on Earth means, I have found I dont agree with the Conservatives on a few fronts. One being THE WAR, thats going on right now, since the conservatives dont have any plans to retreat and do more peace keeping, I dont plan on supporting them. Then, there are NDP, Green,and so on... I guess I am at a loss, which I think many poeple have come to (since alot of canadians dont even vote) who do you vote for... I wisd I could vote for
"The Jesus way" If we followed just this one commandment, "Love your enemies" our world would be turned upside down. Which, I guess, is why many poeple call the Kingdom of God an upside down kingdom... totaly contrairy to human nature, and self gain. Shane Claibourn said in his book "The irresistable Revolution"
WE HAVE LOST OUR IMAGINATION! If all we can do is kill eachother, constantly trying to be one top of the other. We have lost our imaginations. We are capable of so much more... "Another world is possible!" Vinj and I have been eading "Jesus For president", below is a description of the book.. please read on. and if you can get the book, or borrow it from us when we're finished.
Watch the viodeo attached, shane talks about the new book, and whats it's all about. It's a very challenging book, full of scripture!
I believe a new world is possible, even if it is just for a small group of people, I know living the Jesus way works... and I am on that journey now.

Who do I vote for? There is no party that I completely agree with and probably never will be, so I vote for the least of several evils. That is the Conservatives. Do I agree with all their policies? No. But I agree with more of theirs than anyone else's and I have a little hope that they will do less damage to our country than the others. That certainly isn't a very good reason to vote someone into office, but it is the system we have. ALSO, I am voting for my MP, Kevin Sorenson who is a Bible-believing guy, by all accounts.
I have a novel about what would change in the American government if the President became a believer who wanted to run the country as God would want him to. it is very interesting - lots of good ideas.
