Choices

Often times people will use the words "I didn't have a choice" or "There is not really a good choice". But we need to remind ourselves, and I need to be reminded, that God always presents us with a choice. We are never forced into sinning or forced into making choices. No one ties our hands. God has left the issue of choice or our God given responsibility to ourselves.

A good friend brought it to my attention that my reference to Senator McCain could be interpreted as a lack of respect for the Senator. I want to acknowledge without a public endorsement of him for president (though I would be more than glad to give you my personal opinion if you want to talk to me) that I have utmost respect for John McCain as a person and as a candidate for the presidency of the United States.

Of utmost importance to our nation is the appointment of justices to the Supreme Court. Senator McCain has demonstrated, by his voting for and support of conservative justices who will not legislate from the bench and who will support the protection of human life in the womb, that he is to be admired. I believe he has done a very good job of supporting The War on Terror. He has been at times critical of the strategies but supportive of the overall efforts of our Armed Forces and as a result of his input, corrections have been made and the war effort is headed in the right direction.

There are other issues very vital to the future of our nations and I believe there is a very clear choice between the major candidates for the presidency of the United States.
