Your comment on social conservatism...Thanks, Bill. Your comment on social conservatism resonates with me -- got keep the priorities straight. Saturday while campaigning we met a young man whose car had run out of gas and while trying to fix that problem we had the chance to relate the gospel of Jesus to him. Turns out he has a lot of issues and we've now got him plugged into several ministries in our church that specialize in things that concern him.Wildcat Creek Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06637828066910477290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894735897091273074.post-65805275882337773772010-11-01T23:15:08.442-07:002010-11-01T23:15:08.442-07:00Agree, the day after Election Day, we go to work -...Agree, the day after Election Day, we go to work - again. This election is just a reset point, and now we must keep people accountable while getting ready for 2012. <br /><br />In Arkansas, we will have to let Mark Pryor and other non-conservatives know immediately that we are indeed watching their actions and votes and will hold them accountable. Unfortunately, we will not get to rest long. <br /><br />A loving husband stands in front of his wife in danger, behind his wife in support and beside her in love and co-laboring. I appreciate both your tribute to your wife and your sharing your understanding of past efforts while looking to the efforts to be put forth in the future. <br /><br />Barbra is indeed most worthy of praise for her efforts. She has also been an encouragement to me to keep writing and speaking out on issues. I also must praise my very conservative wife who labors as an election commissioner & trainer. When I shared about you and Barbra, she asked where you lived. Unfortunately, we are hours apart. <br /><br />We are apart in distance but not in the Lord or in the worthy cause set before us. I expected to be doing other things in this time of my life. I guess the Lord finds humor in misplaced plans and delights in our obedience. <br /><br />Tuesday will indeed give the pundits and people like me lots of word fodder. While the elections are important as we elect new people to tackle the issues and represent us, the real issue will be if the awakened citizenry, including ourselves, persevere in the future (be it good or bad).<br /><br />As a Christian, I find my self tested repeatedly to make the affirmation that I will this day be on the side of the Lord. He is the source of rights and freedoms. True liberty comes from Him and in serving Him.<br /><br />So, as we continue to proclaim these inherent liberty and rights with other conservatives, we dare not abandoned our social conservatism (family values and religious beliefs) as we work with secular fiscal conservatives to restore our Nation's economy.<br /><br />Again thank you Mike and Barbra.<br />God Bless!Bill Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864696046192846772noreply@blogger.com
