Originally, I kept this journal for my trip to Africa last year. I've been meaning to change it over to a Zion of Petroleum Valley log for some time. It looks like today is the day. I appreciate your comments and feedback (yes, let me know you're out there)!
As we enter a new political era, I wrestle with myself on getting too wrapped up in the political process. Since high school, politics interest me. Whether you like the new administration or not, its power and influence is minor compared to what God is doing. I’ve been in Philippians one for a while in my personal time with God. Paul writes that some are preaching Christ just to annoy him. But Paul does not care. He is just pleased that Christ is preached! I want that same burning desire that no matter what our national leaders do. Our life circumstances may improve or not. It does not matter. Am I preaching Christ? Are people coming to him? This life is not about my comfort, success, or fame. It is about Jesus getting the attention.
Don’t forget the Love and Respect conference at Zion of Clarion the first weekend of February! And, we are starting to gear up for the Easter Egg hunt on both campuses. We could use your help!

Thanks, Candi!
Hey Pastor Joe!
I agree with you and also think that, since we are citizens of the USA, we can speak Christ in our agreement/disagreement of some moral issues facing our country, too. Marge
