Here's me: when I think of donkeys and elephants, I think of my recent safari in Africa. I don't think about politics. I used to follow the political scene much more closely (I had a mad crush on Anderson Cooper, haha!), but it just wasn't me. All the fighting and anger and hatred; all the slandering of people because of the party they subscribe to... I just don't have that in me.
So imagine my surprise when I attended this great seminar about the Affordable Care Act and posted about it on Facebook. Lord have mercy!! People I love were saying downright mean things about other people I love, and condescendingly emailing me on the side ("poor, sweet, stupid Kathy, I know how you just want to take care of the world, but sweety, you really better pray about this, do some research, speak to your pastor about the HORROR of your political ignorance... Love you! xoxo").
Seriously.
Yes, I did pray this morning, but NOT about elephants and donkeys. However, I came across Luke 6:27 where Jesus tells the people to love your enemy. Do good to those who hate you. Pray for them. Bless those who curse you. Folks, Jesus loves everyone, Republicans and Democrats included. Quite frankly, my church has done more to improve the North Side (inner city, urban) community than any political or governmental entity. So thanks for all the political hugs and kisses, but I think I'm going to follow my heart. I'm going to continue in my "ignorance" and love everyone and follow Jesus and His laws.
