State of the (Un)Union:

Something To Think About, The State of the Union:

Like many of you, I watched President Obama deliver the State of the Union speech last night. At the end of the address, the President appealed for a "better politics."  The variety of opinion on the plea is a clear indication that our Union is not unified.  Some applaud the President's extension of an "olive branch," hoping that the obstructionist Republican congress will be willing to respond in kind.  Other's cite President Obama's threats of vetoes and view his request to play ball with suspicion. Such is politics.  Beyond the applause for the heroic sacrifice of our armed forces and the patriotic pride about our Kennedy-esque, renewed space-program, there were few elements of the speech that rang everyone's bell--"Liberty" or otherwise. Here is my appeal to God's people for political unity:    “First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.” (1 Timothy 2:1–2, NASB95)   It's STTA.
