So the elections were held last week, and I for one am really confused. A majority of Americans think that we are on the wrong track, yet the president gets a second term, and the House and Senate remain under the control of the Republicans and Democrats respectively. I think it's safe to say that we can look forward to 4 more years of posturing, finger-pointing, and a general lack of seriousness about the mess we're in.
(Did you know that the U.S. government adds another 1 trillion dollars to our national debt every 9 months?)
On a brighter note, this week our staff was in San Antonio for our annual state convention meeting. I am grateful for our Southern Baptists of Texas Convention. It is a great fit for me: theologically conservative, forward-looking, and mission driven.
The whole event was capped off by a sermon from Charles Stanley. I so admire Dr. Stanley; he has had his share of hardship, disappointment, and harsh criticism, and still he soldiers on. At 80 years of age, he is nearing the end of a faithful ministry. The world is not worthy of men like that.
