WARNING: I'm on my soapbox today!!

Today is the 200th anniversary of one of our greatest Presidents ever. Happy 200th, Abe! Ironically, he happens to share the exact same birthday as a man who has single handedly destroyed the Christian faith more than anyone in history. This man was Charles Darwin, author of Origin of Species (which is subtitled The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, in case you didn't know!). Was he a racist? Absolutely! Do people know that? Probably not. Darwin’s view of dark-skinned people like the slaves was different from that of Lincoln. Most people idolize Abraham Lincoln. Unfortunately, many people do as well for Darwin. Today we should honor a man who saw all people as God’s creation, not a man whose ideas spurred and justified the devaluing of human life.

One of the coolest things about where my family lives is that we are in the flight path of the airport. Air Force One flew over my house today!!

I would post the video, but I haven't figured how to do that yet. It is so cool to see and hear it. I don't agree with the agenda of our current President, especially his view of abortions and the sanctity of life. Am I a racist for not liking him? Some would say yes. What I believe is that there is only 1 race: the human race!

We are all created by God, not through evolution. We are made in His image, not evolved from the muck. Biology textbooks will try to teach you otherwise - molecules to man theory, but the most reliable and accurate textbook teaches us this:

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Gen 1:27

Hope you have a great 200th birthday party ~ for ABE!!
