Sarah Palin on Toast

I laughed out loud today when I saw this CNN story with a photo of the Ebay auction for a piece of toast that mysteriously had the image of Sarah Palin on it.

Thinking about it after though made me wonder. Sarah Palin on toast kind of mocks the people who see the image of Jesus on the sides of some building in some foreign country senario.

Those people truely believe they are seeing God but they also seem a bit "crazy" or "misguided" to a lot of other people.

It just really makes Christians look crazy and misguided. There are a lot of things in society that try to mock or discount Jesus and things God values.

I saw a part of a report on CNN where they kind of made fun of Sarah Palins church too. They started showing the gift of speaking in tougues in the report and made the church look a bit "crazy".

It's truely a media driven world that looks for something to laugh at that they don't understand. I can't begin to fathom what the media thinks it's doing other than trying to discount Christianity when it does those reports that scare people into thinking Christianity is all about crazy happenings with misguided people.

It's all relative in that world. So today I smiled at the toast but still disheartened to the reality of what it means. It's an example of the reality of living in this world that thinks we are followers of a religion that's just wierd.

"Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord, Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord,"

Praying today for our future President and Vice GAL to be leaders that tomorrow will be proud to have had serve us with integrity.

Song in my Head: Everlasting God - Lincoln Brewster
Verses: Ephesians 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.... 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7Therefore do not be partners with them. 8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible.
