Die hard Republicans unite! I admit I am one and voted for Huckabee in the Iowa Primary. Though I am a Republican, I will support Obama because when he is in office (soon), he will be my president and I have always supported those in office because I know that is God’s desire of me.
I bring up Huckabee because he is doing a new show on Fox on Sunday night called, “Huckabee”. I found it fascinating in the format of interviews with Kelsey Grammar ( a Republican – who knew?) and other celebrities, (not all political) and a firm support of our nation, our troops, our president and support for the Republican party.
I don’t bring this up for a political view. I have never asked members of a congregation to vote on any issue or for any candidate, but simply to vote because it is our God given freedom to do so. I do bring this up because after all the tiresome negative campaigns from both sides, it was a refreshingly positive approach to present some politics.
I do try to listen to both sides of the isle as much as possible. In fact I probably would have never known about Huckabee if it hadn’t been for former Iowa Governor T. Vilsack (D) who made some very positive comments about his colleague Governor Huckabee a few years ago.
I don’t know if this will be a re-entry into the 2012 campaign for Huckabee or simply a new career path for him. I do know that it is always our duty to be informed about our nation, it history, present and future paths. I know that we need to stand firm in our convictions of beliefs. And I believe God is not partial to politics, but is always concerned for the citizens of every nation, tongue and tribe. We have been failed by presidents, because they are human, but we have never been failed by God. “In God We Trust” reminds of us many of our nation’s strengths and weaknesses, but always the place where we ultimately find victory, security, assurance and peace.
