I am late getting to this post today. On Wednesday I drive over to Ft. Worth where I teach ReEntry skills in the Tarrant County Jail. Today ran a bit long. Sorry.
Yes, I watched the “debate” last night I do not believe the two interviewers dealt fairly with Senator Vance or his positions. I do not believe they pushed Governor Tim when he could not find words to explain his false statements about his time in China.
I did come away wishing Senator Vance was on top of the GOP ticket.
The Current Crisis reared its head again last night, of course.
The Current Crisis, our Great Division, is the result of one tribe or the other demanding we believe their narrative, without question, without nuance. When Senator Vance tried to explain the facts behind immigration issue, he found his explanation cut off by half and explained away as “the legal situation,” offered with a vocal sneer.
This does not sit well.
I don’t like it any better when Mr. Trump does it.
Sometimes I feel like we are in Oz. We seem to be expected to believe what the Wizard says, while we are forced to ignore the “man behind the curtain.”
It is in the end we find out they are one and the same.
Jesus maintains He civility throughout HIs earthly ministry. He would not identify with Herod, or the Romans, or the popular religionist of His day. He saves His rancor for the people who use religion for their own gains, in trending to purify Israel and His co-religionists in order to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.
I intend to voter for Jesus.
