Romney, evolution, and the Presidency

I have been seeing some posts, blogs, and articles about Romney believing in theistic evolution. For those of you that don't know what that is, let me explain. Theistic evolution is the belief that there is evolution but it is God created and God guided.

Now, I have several problems with people going after Romney for this. One is that he at least believes it is from God. Two, I do not see how this effects the job he will do as a president. I know I have said it before but we are NOT electing a pastor. Right now schools teach full blown evolution and take God and Christ out of EVERYTHING, at least Mitt would want God and Christ put back in.

I do not agree with theistic evolution, I believe God spoke and we WERE, no questions asked. I do believe though that some animals have changed, evolved to fit their environments. I have a question for all of you though. Have you ever thought about the "big bang" theory? People believe that the universe just popped into existence right? Well the Bible says that God spoke, and things were created. 

Genesis Chapter 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
  2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
  3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

I suggest you read the whole chapter of Genesis 1, but those first few verses show the point I was trying to make.  I am not saying this backs up theistic evolution, just saying the thought occurred to me that technically there was a kind of big bang, but not the way scientists believe. It was God creating the universe, and giving us life.

Many people may not agree with me, and that's OK. My point to this though is that it shouldn't matter what Mitt Romney's theological beliefs are. He has a right to them, just like we do. He believes in God and Jesus Christ, which to me is enough. I mean look at the man we have in the white house. He claims to be a "Christian" but he honors the Muslim religion, and the people of that religion, and has total disregard for our religious freedom.

To me Romney is a good man, a Christian (however you want to spin that, you can but it's true), a strong family man, with a good foundation, he has great business experience. You may not believe it but Mitt WILL protect the unborn, marriage, and religious freedom. As a matter of fact he has fought hard for those, but was up against a strong democratic majority and was shot down.

People this election is important, probably one of the most important in our lifetime. We HAVE to get Obama out of office. Stop trying to look at this election like we are electing someone that is a Pastor, or is perfect, that's impossible and that is too much to expect of someone.

Call to Action!!

I am feeling inspired after spending the weekend at the GA GOP Convention. My husband and I had the honor of listening to Newt Gingrich speak at the dinner, breakfast, and convention. Speaker Gingrich made some great points. Newt, like me and others, is now supporting Romney. Newt has put aside differences to not only support Romney but to campaign for him! he has also said he will campaign hard for him until November to help ensure a crushing victory! As conservatives we need to join the team, and the fight. We can not sit by and let Obama stay in the white house for four more years, if we do we will not have an United States of America anymore.

I am going to make a few points and borrow some points from Newt, in the hopes that people who are on the fence, or flat out refusing to support the nominee will take it to heart. You may ask about Romney being conservative? well compare him to Obama, compared to Obama he is incredibly conservative. What about his Mormon religion? well he is grounded in his faith and beliefs, he stands by them, and he believes in God and Jesus Christ. He may have theological differences from what other Christian faiths believe....but remember we aren't electing a pastor. Romney has strong business and financial experience too and that is what we need. 

Now at the convention Newt had a Romney sticker on his lapel. At his big speech to the whole crowd he pointed it out, and made some of the points I have made here. This was also a time he stated we had to work together and work hard. The Paul supports tried to boo Newt (talk about disrespect) but we stood, cheered, and applauded to drown them out. This kind of division is not helping us. People need to stop clinging to dead campaigns, and suspended candidates, and work together to stop Obama.

I admit I wasn't the most thrilled with Romney as our nominee at first. Honestly though he has grown on me, and I rather like him. He is a great man, father, and will make an amazing and smart president. We need him. Please, put aside your differences, or your reasons not to vote, and join the cause! Work with us nationally and locally, to not only get Romney elected, but to get conservative congressmen, senators, and local officials elected.

We can do this!! But we HAVE to work as a team! God Bless!

Media Stupidity

Really media? the best you can come up with to attack Romney on are his high school pranks? I guess no one in the media ever made stupid mistakes in high school? This story seems to keep growing too...it was a harmless prank, now suddenly the guy must have been gay....really? The current headline on CNN is "darkside of Romney's HS years".

Romney has said he doesn't remember this, and if it happened he is really sorry. No one has talked to the supposed victim. He has also said he would never have done anything because someone was thought to be gay, and things like that never occured to him in the early 60's.

Of course no one mentions the mistakes Obama made, or his admitted drug use (that he doesn't regret). I am sure Obama did other stupid things in HS, College, etc, but the media would never report on that.

We need a news station dedicated to not only the truth, but to not spreading stupid stories. CNN is liberal, but slightly more fair, and FOX is supposed to be conservative but they are biased to their own personal preferences. The news places that are supposed to be dedicated to truth, report on stupid stories like this one.

Let's stick to the important issues media! and make the American people aware of the truth, and not your jaded lies.....

Santorum's endorsement

I was so excited to read Rick's endorsement of Mitt Romney last night. Rick put a lot of though into this decision and definitely did not go into it blindly. Rick and Mitt met on Friday to discuss some important issues, and Rick said he felt confident that Mitt was on the right side (abortion, Obamacare, etc). I am so proud of Rick and how he handled this!

I have heard people saying they will still not support Romney as the nominee. These are people that say they trust Santorum 100%. Well you either trust Rick or you don't. If you trust him, you trust him in this decision as well. Rick would not lead people down a blind path or a bad road, and I would trust him with my life. That being said, we NEED to help Rick and support Mitt in order to get Obama out of the White House.

People need to remember, we are NOT electing a pastor or head of church, we are electing a president. Using someone's denomination (Baptist, Catholic, Mormon, etc) as an excuse not to vote is foolhardy. If someone believes in God and Jesus Christ, that we are saved by Faith and God's merciful grace, then that is good enough for me. Differences in theology are not going to send us to hell, and we will not have to account for voting for someone of another denomination. This excuse to me is a cop out. We have so much to worry about with this election! Our country is sliding further and further into debt by the second, we have international threats, our families and lives are under attack. There is a big picture here that involves so much more than someone's chosen denomination!

Please everyone, think about this, and make the choice that is best for the country. To vote third party, write in, or not at all is a selfish vote, an a vote for Obama.

Religious Attacks

I have noticed that not only is the government and Obama attacking our religious freedom, but there is a lot of attacking going on within religious circles, especially Christian ones.

I have heard so many times that people can not vote for someone because they are Catholic, Mormon, etc. First off, I don't agree with this, we are electing a President NOT a Pastor. Second, who are we to say someone is less of a Christian than we are because our beliefs are somewhat different. If we both believe in God and Jesus Christ, then we are both Christians. It shouldn't matter of someone believes Jesus lives on another planet. That's not something that is going to send someone to hell, and think about it, if Jesus wanted to go spend a day on another planet, He could!

With our religious freedoms being so attacked by the Obama administration, we as Christian's need to work TOGETHER no matter what the differences in our denominations, so that we can fight these attacks. Do you think that this healthcare bill will stop with the Catholic church? No! Next thing we know it will be required of all churches, or there will be something else the current admin is demanding churches do that would go against our beliefs.

Please everyone, come together, work together, keep the bigger picture in mind and don't allow our religious freedoms to be trampled on! and don't allow Obama to stay in office!
