Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

Public Acknowledgement of God

In the recent Texas primary, Ballot Proposition #4: Public Acknowledgement of God-Stated “The use of the word “God”, prayers, and the Ten Commandments should be allowed at public gatherings and public educational institutions, as well as be permitted on government buildings and property.”

At a time when the liberals and the left are screaming for separation of church and state, this proposition brought joy to my soul. In the early days of our country, the Puritans wisely sought to connect all of life to its source in God, bringing the two worlds together rather than dividing them into sacred and secular. I really think they were on to something important that we have gotten away from.

Today why don’t you take a minute and thank God that we live in a country where we still enjoy freedom of worship? While you are at it, be sure you are registered to vote in the November elections.
