MY WORLD VIEW

We're inundated today with views on candidates, plenty of real and imagined smut on each one. When it gets down to voting time, though, I think each of us needs to examine our world view before we go to the polls. So, I thought I'd include mine--and hope many of these concepts are still alive when my five (three shown here) grandkids come of age.

I believe:

* The universe and everything in it was created by the God revealed in the Old and New Testaments.
* Man has dominion over and should be good stewards of all God has given us.
* Life starts at conception.
* Marriage by definition is between a man and a woman.
* The government is not responsible for my well being.
* The government does have major responsibility for protection and security.

I'm sure more headings and many subheadings could be added, but I choose to keep it simple.

I welcome your comments on my blog, and please:

* Keep it friendly.
* Don't mention candidates (for purpose of this one discussion ), only concepts, beliefs and ideas.
* Admit that my grandkids are every bit as cute as your grandkids!

I'm starting on my second book, Muppim, Huppim and Ard, which should be finished by September--I'm not sure which September. Also Ebenezer still makes a great gift, devotion book or family time reading.

Thank you all for supporting me and my projects.
