^Friday^ Gear up.

Well I have been watching the hurricane devastation. Almost instantly, I think what can we do? Come on people we are sitting in our a/c homes, with food, running water and shelter. There are people everywhere without their basic needs being met. It is time to stop the lazy-boy style coaching and start getting to work.

Worst thing about all of this is that it will take time. America is so stuck on it's short memory that it tends to forget after 6 months. The news will fade the helpers will start to decrease. It is the story of the USA. Then we will grip on how the president handled it. Democrats and Republicans will argue over the funding and gas prices. And yet nobody will bring a single idea to the table that makes any sense.

Look at the Gulf War. Why are we there? Your instant jello-pudding brain says "OIL!". That is what the media and other political members would have you to believe. Sept 11 anniversary is coming up. We all remember that day. A feeling of helplessness and despair (Similar to what we feel about Katrina's devastation). I remember the political partys putting down their differences and singing "God Bless America" on the steps of the capital building. But 6months later they picked them all back up. I tell you what you go on and argue politics all you want.

I will remember those lost in 911 and the real reason we defend our freedom. I will support our troops and our commander and chief. I will remember those lost in the wake of Katrina. I will remember the people sitting on roofs and waiting. I will remember those workers that braved gun fire to bring supplies to those in need.

It is time we get real and stop being so self-centered. It is not about money. It is not about gas prices. It is not about denomenational lines. It is not about political party lines. GET REAL AMERICA!!

If you just loved Christ as much as you loved your pocked book you would see. It is about him and doing what he would want. Christ would be helping people! Christ would be loving people. Christ would not see me as a Southern Baptist preacher who is a Republican. He just sees us as HIS. That is it. The tags mean nothing. Now go out there and act like God's children.
