We are in a very vital period on the journey of our Republic. Two things are key right now and we need to make them work together.
First, we have an election coming and the real choices we will have an opportunity to make will not come in the general election but in the primaries. When the choice is a (supposedly) rational Republican or a (definitly) delusional Democrat, it really isn’t a choice. Often we can only hold our nose and hope. In the primaries we might have a real choice. Get ready to pay attention to the challengers. Pay attention to what the current incumbent is doing. It is still two years to the next election and many of them are still assuming you are not watching. Watch. Make a list. If you are one of those people who always loses your list then find a blank wall to write on with a Sharpie. Build a case for discussions with other voters. Discuss. We have two years to make a difference.
Second, this is a time when the Rinos come out of the word work. President Trump was very open about what he wanted to do. He is actively doing his part. Many Rinos in both houses of congress and in the courts are doing everything they can to thwart him. Watch who opposes his agenda. At the federal court level there is little we can do but in many states the judges must stand for reelection. Learn who must be primaried.
Two years isn’t long unless you have given up smoking.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
