I always thought that the Tea Party was just another name for RW Party, the extremists of the Repubs. I’ve always had more respect for the Libertarians than for the Tea Party.
Yes, I had a vastly different idea of the preaching profession when I first started out. I thought I’d get a small church to start out, say 200 active members, move on to a 400 member church and retire from a 1000 member congregation. But, God didn’t mean that when He called me out. I like to remember what St. Francis of Assisi said, “PREACH AT ALL TIMES, and if necessary, use words.” We all preach with the life we live.
I once had a geometry teacher that gave F’s down to -5. An F-5 would take several A’s to bring your grade to passing. I don’t remember how many A’s were needed since I never brought my grade up. I failed her class. In Summer school, I got a B in geometry.
Except for CBS and PBS, all networks are at least old style REpubs. But, it’s only FOX that is promoting the Dumplican party.
