Petrovillains, smoke and mirrors...

From "The Editors" of the National Review, April 26, 2010..."In 2008, when the national average was last peaking above $4 per gallon, candidate Obama made it clear that while he would have preferred a “gradual” increase, he saw ever-higher petroleum prices as a necessary antecedent and augur of our immaculate, green-energy future."

While I disagree with now President Obama, this is a legitimate policy perspective; I wish he'd be transparent and quit wasting time and money looking for the "petrovillains."  Embrace it, manage it and let the people decide on the facts, rather than facades, in 2012.

Enough with the smoke and mirrors...

The love of God.

Grateful today that in 1968 I embraced the Risen Christ.

He paid a debt He did not owe, because of His great love and the Father's grace.  It's been 43 years.  I've experienced real transformation; a day does not slip by that I don't reflect on how different my life has been because of a very simple, heartfelt prayer.

But more than that, I have confidence, assurance that "It is well with my soul."   He has promised..."No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."    Romans 8.39

He is risen.  He is risen indeed!
