I Believe...

This post has been building in my heart and mind for months. I think the time has come to spew forth and move on. It will most likely ramble and be disorganized, but please bear with me.


I believe....
* in one Almighty God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
* life begins at conception and ending that life at any time is wrong.
* children are a miraculous gift from God and should be treated as such.
*in one Savior - Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension to the Father and His coming return.
* that acceptance of Jesus as The Savior is the one and only way to Heaven.
* that marriage consists of one man and one woman.
* that homosexual relationships are wrong.
* that God is a wonderfully forgiving God!
* that I am a sinner, no matter how hard I try to be good and do right.
*that although God hates sin, he loves sinners. I do my best to follow his example no matter how strongly I feel about the sin itself.
* the Bible is the infallible and inspired Word of God. Nothing may be added or taken from it. It is not a book of stories, but a book of Truth.
* we only have one world and should be responsible in preserving it. I'm not the most "green" person around, and yes I do drive an SUV, but I try to do what I can - recycle, clean green, drive less, air dry laundry, etc.
* that our President should be a man (or woman) of Christian faith.
* that our President should be a military veteran and should be a STRONG supporter of our military.
* that we have the right to purchase and own handguns and long guns for self defense, hunting, or just because we want to.
* that tougher gun laws only make it harder for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. Criminals don't give a rip about gun laws, and if the public is unarmed the criminals have free reign.


I believe so much more that I just can't put into words. I don't' like to mix religion and politics, but when it comes to our President I believe that the two really go hand in hand. I feel very strongly about this election, but have kept much of my opinion to myself as the majority of my friends support the other candidate. I just pray that the Lord's will will prevail today and the next four years will be one of prosperity and growth and moral rejuvenation for our nation.
