I normally do not get political on my blog.  There is plenty of that out there.  I tend to want to stick to defending Christianity and explaining many of the arguments for it.

There is a political issue, however, that really cries out for some comment.  The "death of common sense" is evident throughout our society.  It has never been more evident than in Wisconsin today regarding the Voter ID law.  This law, which passed the legislature and was signed into law by Governor Walker, has been stalled by a Madison judge.  The injunction against the law prohibits the law from being in force.  When you look at what happened in Racine during the recall election, the necessity for this law being in effect is paramount.  Opponents of the law say that it disenfranchises voters.  Yet how many voters are disenfranchised when an illegal vote cancels their vote? Think about it.

The idea that someone can go vote without properly identifying who they are and where they live is inviting voter fraud. 
If the voter ID law is stuck in the Madison court of this left-wing judge past the November election, an offense of greater magnitude cannot be imagined.



I have been thinking about death a lot lately.  The death of people close to me has brought this reality to the forefront of my consciousness.  I heard Ravi Zacharias share a short poem the other day that summarizes the truth beautifully.

"My knowledge of this life is small,
the eye of faith is dim.
But tis enough that Christ knows all,
and I will be with Him."

It puts it all in proper perspective.
