			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The title of this article should have been <a href="http://bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=24745">Former Democratic Presidents Carter and Clinton call for &#8216;A New Baptist Covenant’</a>. Here is a prime example of a political party using religion to further their agenda. The key is in the last paragraph.. &#8220;<font class="StoryText">Democrats have made winning over &#8220;faith voters&#8221; a major election strategy.&#8221; </font>Religion should not be a &#8220;<font class="StoryText">major election strategy&#8221;. I guess the Democrats really don&#8217;t understand what it is to be a person of faith. </font><font class="StoryText"><br />
</font></p>
<p><font class="StoryText"> </font>It is sad really, because one party practices religion and the other uses religion to their own purposes. You also see a hypocrisy here, if these were former Republican Presidents, it would be on the front page of the Washington Post and the ACLU would be filing some kind of law suit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a really busy week at work.  We have been preparing for our Toys for Tots Kickoff Luncheon and now it&#8217;s finally here.</p>
<p>This week, we had a situation that happened where people in my office were misquoted.  Those quotes were passed along to the press and, of course, the situation became very controversial.</p>
<p>I just wanted to say how disappointed I was with the so-called Christians (or at least  those that claim they are Christians but are truly not) on how they handled this situation.  They are the ones that give Christians a bad rep, and you know exactly the ones I&#8217;m talking about.   My view of a true Christian is one who is soft-spoken, is not easy to anger, keeps their emotions in check, does not swear, is forgiving, and shows a Christ-like, loving attitude to those around them.  What I found out this week is that there are a lot of fake Christians out there; at least the ones that called the office this week.  I cannot tell you the anger, the swearing, and the unforgiveness attitude that came across over the phone and through emails.</p>
<p>The Bible teaches us the fruit of the spirit which is  love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  It&#8217;s hard for someone to believe that you are a Christian when your attitude does not reflect it.  The world is out there watching to catch you in your weak moment.  Are you going to be caught off-guard or are you going to allow the love of Christ to shine in you.  It was truly embarrasing to be associated with those people who act out of control and, at the same time, claim to be Christians.</p>
