Separation of Church and State

Last night was one of those nights.  I went to a women's meeting at church , had a great supper and met a great missionary.  Everything had been going just fine until they handed out these little envelopes.  I don't know about anyone else getting upset over them but I sure was.  I understand that everyone has their own views about Obama and about abortion.  I am OK with the fact that you and I can agree to disagree.  What I do have a problem with is that when I am at a church function you should not "tell" me that I need to do this because this is the only way something can be right...Don't ask me to donate to a cause if you don't know where I stand on it.
So last night I get this envelope...in this envelope is a paper asking for my donation against abortion. You know the spill millions....etc.... and while I am personally pro life I am also pro-choice.  I think everyone should have the right to make their own decisions.  Its not my choice or the governments choice on what I can or cant have or do...If I choose it then I have to live with the consequences of my choice.  I feel this way on most things.  I don't want my "right" to be taken away.  I don't want "big brother" standing over me saying what you are feeling is wrong you MUST do it this way.  I also don't want someone telling me how that they hate "government leaders" while I am at church.  Let me say while I am not happy with Obama and his administration  I will NOT tell you you were wrong to vote for him, that the beliefs you have are wrong. I can tell you that I might bring up politics at my home with someone but NEVER would I use church as my platform.  This country was founded on level of separation.  I can only hope it will stay that way.

  The Bible says many things about LOVE: Love your enemies, LOVE is the greatest of all, LOVE them so they can see that God Loves them. We should be praying for our nation, we should be praying for our state, we should be praying for our leaders, we should be praying for our neighbors, we should be praying for each other.  So take this as you want....I will keep my politics at home and will keep my choices to myself....I will lean on the Lord so he can help lead my life in the direction its needed to go.
