There is a pretty thought provoking article in the Washington Post. I got to it when I saw this Tweet: “When your identity is tied up in your career, something like the shutdown can make you rethink a few things” READ Post article here and then ask yourself, what is MY identity based on? can I lose that basis? If so then where am I?

CSLewis said not to base our happiness on something we can lose. Forget happiness, let’s not base our identity on what the heck we DO (that includes ESPECIALLY means us pastor types) and can lose!

Imagine a football* game in the biggest stadium you can imagine. Got it? Okay, now imagine there are ten players on the field. No quarterback, no back field, no defensive secondary, there’s not even a ball to be seen on the field. What you see is a picture of our U.S. political “leaders.”

They are just running into each other on the line of scrimmage, all suffering from multiple concussions, not knowing where to go next. They just run head on into each other.

God help the USA.
