A message that we will need to hear time and time again over the next few years.

Great. Words we should try to live by. It's easy to get wrapped up in things, the election, the economy, etc. These are all important but we do need to take a step back occasionally and put it all in perspective.

At the Christian school where I taught for nearly two decades, Philippians 4:8 was posted on the classroom walls.

It's a toss up for me between verse 4 and 13.
Verse 6 was very pertinent to me today as there is a regional election in Venezuela today. Elections often lead to violence and I have so many friends who are braving the chavismos to vote in opposition.

Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ.

I canned The Hill Chronicles. I figure if I am going to die or go to jail for freedom of speech in the NObamanation then it would be for our Lord not our darn politics!

Thank you Mustang for this tremendous reminder. When we remember that Paul arote this from a dungeon for no other reason than his faith in Christ, it becomes even more tremendous. Truly for the believer in fellowship with Christ, to live is Christ & to die is GAIN! Who can overcome a person like that? Not even Satan himself & all the demons of hell! Good post. God Bless.
