Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

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.

Opus 2025-135: Read and Learn

I finally found Trump’s book, The Art of the Deal, at the library.  There were two additions listed in the card catalog.  The newest one was reported as being on the shelf but even the librarian could not find it.  The older one was checked out but I came back and found it later.  I have been reading it.

I’m hoping that the Trump haters never read the book.  It’s kind of interesting.  I haven’t finished it yet, but it looks like most of it is biography with little bits about his business philosophy mixed in.

One reason I hope that the haters never read it is because it might lead them to understand him better.  One of the early things I picked up is that he thrives on challenge.  Where most of us would get worn down by the constant attacks and difficulties that are thrown in our way, Donald Trump seems to gather energy from it.

Go figure.

Judging from the opposition he gets even from people who should be supporting him, this can be a good thing.  Keep praying for him.  Try to understand him.  Pray that he would have that balance between the strengths of a strong character and the weaknesses of a proud character.  There is a balance.  There is a place for strength.  There is even a place for healthy pride. Pray that he finds it and keeps it.

The battle or the Republic is not over.  It will never be over.  Stay vigilant.
