So grateful for you and inspired by your story!! Praise God! Yes, I agree, and the word is (aspirational). Sadly, the love of money and the lust for power corrupt so many..."Christians" included. I think it's probably most accurate to say our current political system is an oligarchy with moments of democracy. But, I too, am an American optimist! I honestly, don't see how true scripture knowing/believing Christians can be part of a two party political system. I know from scripture, God and Jesus are so about social justice...an understatement! But, I have been lazy in the past with regard to educating myself on how to most truthfully-according to scripture engage powerfully in the social issues of our current culture. I'm a citizen by birth, and I find that I have taken so much for granted in this great country!! Your perspective is refreshing! Gods Speed!
