Why must faith and politics conflict?

With all the hoopla over whether or not Obama was a muslim, christian or whatever, I have been divided on the issue until now. I wish this article had come out before the election to explain to all of my fundamentalist friends (don't get me wrong, I am a fundamentalist but I attempt to collect the facts prior to making a decision) why Obama is not definitively the anti-Christ. I hope that you will read this article with an open mind and push religion out the door. There's one thing we all agree that you must believe in order to be a Christian and that is salvation through the saving blood of Christ. Enjoy!

The power of love (no Celine, not the song)

I was reading a blog sent to me by my friend Kim. The blog was authored by a couple who discovered that one of them had cancer. She has since passed away and he continues to write about his struggles. I read an entry today that brought me to tears and I've drawn some conclusions based on what he said and my experiences.

Love is such a strange thing. Real love suffers through diversity. It amazes me how strong love can make people and how much people can endure for the sake of love. People become blinded by it (not always a good thing) and they become strengthened by it. Regardless of the type of relationship, whether it is good or bad, love builds a person into who they are meant to be.

If you get a chance, stop by his blog at http://lyonsfamily.org/. The power of love is overwhelming and few of us are lucky enough to experience it.
