Politics

Politics this year has been amazing.

We have a new government and yet we still manage to see the politicians acting like the little kids they are.

I want to see some politicians that are prepared to take responsibility for their own actions not try and pass the blame on to others.

I don't want to see any more of this cat fighting that seems to be happening a lot this year.

I don't like the government we have.

However since we don't have much of a choice, we need to hope and pray that the one we do have can make decisions responsibly.

The thing that did interest me this year with the decisions that this Government has currently made is that they are trying to bring in ethics classes along side scripture classes.

This doesn't surprise me as Julia Gillard is definitely an atheist and so why should she want the great teaching that inevitably comes out of Scripture classes? I just hope that we never lose those classes as I have many friends who have come to know God through these scripture classes and developed friendships with their teachers that last for long times.

But we'll see and we shall continue to pray, for our God is a mighty God. I have seen things in my short-ish life. (After all I'm only 32) that have amazed me and that continue to amaze me.

I look forward to the year/s ahead and to seeing what plans God has for my life as well as the lives of my friends.

May God bless you the rest of the year and into the year ahead.
