As you illustrated it plays out every day in the present time as well. I am disturbed and trying to find answers to what's happening today in the ugly fight in Congress that shut the government down. Many people are suffering and need the services that the gov't provides. And you have people in Congress that say we don't want to pay for those services AND we want to run this country on Christian values. Well, as Jimmy Carter once said: "If you don't want to help the poor and needy then you don't want to live with Christian values." -- Steve RamiroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
