Are you "linkdin?"

Do you feel connected to this presidential race?  Are you linked in to the topics?  The platform?  The people?  I'm not.  I cannot get behind any of the candidates or the races!  I feel lost.  I looked up the minority platform and I cannot jump on that bandwagon either.

One party is too liberal.

One party is too conservative.

And one party would be great if we lived in a perfect world, but we don't.  I can't see Americans recycling or playing nice or taking care of each other and not just thinking about themselves.

History has shown us different.  We go to war.  We want the biggest and the best.  We want to be top dog.

Now not all of us are that way but I guarantee we are in the minority.

At church, we are studying Revelation (singular, please don't call it "revelations."  Just a pet peeve of mine- I'm sure I do some things or say some things to "peeve" you off too.  Possibly this post!!!  LOL).  Some of the churches were too liberal....some too conservative.....and some just lukewarm (aka Weren't we really something back then?  I'm so glad we've got it together and now we can sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labors.  What's that?  You are spitting me out????  For being lazy????  Yikes!).  Now please understand I don't study Revelation as a prophecy book.  Good news for us Christians: Christ is King!  But I think there is a little history lesson...enough for those of us who are not Christians or biblical scholars.  A little history lesson for humankind:  we NEED to be linked in (linkdin).

Sidebar:  here's a little history fact about the church in Laodicea (chapter 3 in Revelation).  Water had to be piped in from a neighboring hot mineral spring.  By the time it traveled to Laodicea it was neither hot nor cold and tasted really really bad so the people spit it out.  They had a great mental picture when John wrote to them saying Jesus says he is about to spit them out of his mouth.  Hmmm, do you think they sat up and listened?

We need to seek the facts.  I read today where J K Rowlings wrote another book and people are flocking to purchase it.  I think I'll start REALLY reading about our next president.  I'm just not sure.  Yikes!  I'm lukewarm.
