Political Circus

It occurred to me lately that the whole campaign process is directed at about 7% of the population. The rest of us are forced to listen to it. Where did I come up with the 7%; about 50% of the eligible voters are registered to vote. About 50% of registered voters vote in any given presidential election(less in state and local elections). So now we have 25% of the population electing our leaders. But probably 35% of the people had decided long ago that they were going to vote Democrat and 35% Republican regardless of who the candidates are. So that leaves about 30% of the voters(undecided and third party voters) that decide the election. So 30% of 25%(actual voters as percentage of eligible) is 7.5%.

Think about that, the whole campaign. Millions of dollars for TV, for travel, for the conventions to convince about 7% of the people to vote for them. Wonder how much that is per vote?

First Things First

It always amazes me that most people think they will go to Heaven, but don't know what the criteria are for going. It is like going in to take a test, but the teacher hasn't told you what a passing score is. Except here, the test is forever and if you fail you can't imagine how bad it will be.

But there is an answer, the GOD that created Heaven and Hell gave us a book that tells us what it takes to get into Heaven(the Bible). The bad news is it takes a 100 on the life test to get in. So, none of us can make it. It doesn't matter if you are making a 95 or a 20, it isn't enough. GOD is so holy that he can't tolerate sin(none, zip, zero, zilch, nada). If you have ever sinned, then you don't qualify for Heaven. Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; KJV.

So now what, we have a problem. GOD can't let us in with sin and we have all sinned. There is only one possiblity. Someone else had to take the test for us. GOD sent his SON, who made a 100 on the test. But he is willing to trade his test for yours, just so you can get in. If you give him your life, he will give you his. That is the only way to Heaven. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. KJV

So just admit to JESUS that you aren't good enough, give him your life and take up his. He is ready to take you. He wants to trade your test score for his. It is the only way and he won't turn you down. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. KJV

Why don't you ask him today. Then, get a Bible and read the Gospel of John, and find a good church and start going. You can never be good enough without HIM, just admit it and be good enough in HIM

First Post

I guess you have to start somewhere. Isn't the blog world interesting. Anyone can have their own website that they can publish whatever is important to them. Maybe one has thousands of readers and one may not be read by anyone but themselves, but it is out there. That is freedom of speech. You have a right to write, but not a right to be read.

If you found this blog accidently or on purpose, stop by and visit awhile. Let's talk about religion, politics, football(college), family, or freedom. And I intend to have fun too.
