theological (sometimes) reflections from an educated hillbilly, father, husband, backyard farmer, point of view all the while serving pound for pound the best American Baptist Church in the land.

Amy Sullivan Returns
During the 2004 election I enjoyed reading Amy Sullivan's commentary, but after that I hardly ever saw any articles by her. This morning RealClearPolitics had a link to an Op-Ed piece that was in The Post, check it out for yourself.
Amen--Amy Sullivan has a great article. I have been a Democrat and Evangelical for most of my years involved in the church. I love the question often asked by some ignorant person-"How can you be a Christian and a Democrat." I usually smile back and with my warmest, heartfelt voice I say "How can you not?"
I of course am joking (well a little truth there in my mind I guess), but being a seeker of the calling of Christ is even more to me than being a Democrat. Being a Democrat is how my faith is shown sometimes in how I learn to accept and understand those who are different and less fortunate than me. It is how I attempt to move my faith beyond just mere words. It is my faith in action. (Sorry this is so long)-rfm
