Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2016-73: Election 2016: Lucy’s Football

I need to be careful.  I have been trying to avoid saying, “I would never vote for Trump”.  I am not sure if I have succeeded.  It is how I feel.  I still have hopes that Rubio will grow up, drop out and let the conservatives coalesce behind Cruz.  I still have hopes but not a lot of confidence in the American people.  These are the same people that elected FDR four times, Bill Clinton twice and Bark Obama twice.  They are the ones who keep sending their children to public schools.  They are the ones who think entitlements for them are good but entitlements for others are bad.  Of course they also elected Reagan twice and Jimmy Carter only once.

But what if I am faced with the choice of all the evil that a Hillary Clinton will bring and the totally unknown quality of a shoot-from-the-hip Trump?

My nose is getting sore from all the holding.  I keep saying “Never again”.  And I keep holding the football for Lucy.

  1. I've been a life-long conservative, but I don't trust Cruz any further than I can throw him one-handed.

    1. Right hand or left?

      I know the feeling. All I can say is that I have less reason to mistrust him than any of the others. What I find confusing is to have Phyllis Schlafly endorse Trump whom I know is unsuitable.

      Grace and peace.

  2. I think Cruz is too much a politician, and don't trust him either. I very much trust Ben Carson who, after he dropped out, endorsed Trump. All I can say is that he must know a side of Trump that we're not seeing. I'd certainly vote for him over Clinton.

    1. I keep hearing that in private Trump is a wonderful human being. The thing is hear the same about Cruz, Rubio and most of the other candidates. I also here it about Bernie but I will concede I have never heard it about Hillary.

      Does that make Hillary the only honest candidate?

      Grace and peace.
