You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah. Psalm 32:7
My usual daily reading of the political blogs has been slim lately but in catching up a bit to them today, I am reminded again of God’s blessing of my escape from the Washington scene and the daily strife of political life. I am content and happy here in the Shenandoah Valley serving Him in ministry. The hustle and bustle of the “big city” along with its yummy restaurants, great art galleries and museums I do miss but I do get “over the mountain” occasionally to enjoy those good things. Yes, I still am involved in politics but only on a very limited level, i.e., Team Leader for the GOP. The ministry keeps me hopping and too much involved mentally to take on much more than that. I am thankful for the folks at the various political/news blogs, especially Powerline and Blogs for Bush so that I am not totally out of the loop. And yes, I am still a bit “political” in my writing on various doctrinal issues that are important to us as women. We never escape politics completely nor should we as good stewards of God with a true biblical world and life view. Thanks be to God for His gift of deliverance and for the wonderful things He is doing on the earth and in the hearts of men and women. God is providentially working out His will in Heaven and on earth and for this we are most thankful and at peace. Be encouraged that our God is on the throne ruling His world and even the politics of the day are at His command.
