[Vision2020] If we care about public education

[pkraut at moscow.com]

You must be kidding Right? This is a 2 million dollar deal and it will go 
on and on and add the the 5 million they already have and you think this 
is a reason to vote against it?? The paranoia in this city is astounding!

> Gladness or Gloating
> Topic: Exhortation
> 
> I said last week that this was the last of our exhortations on civic
> affairs, at least for a while, but I was off by one week. There is one
> other
> set of comments that needs to be made.
> 
> First, it would be wrong of us to let this election pass by without
> giving
> thanks to God publicly. Those in our community who had specialized in
> harassing our ministries received a significant set-back, for which we
> thank
> God. 
> 
> The second is to commend you as a congregation for your strong presence
> in
> this last election. It was extremely gratifying to see your involvement.
> When Nancy and I went to the polls, I was astonished at how many of our
> friends we saw there-quite unlike previous elections. That sort of thing
> makes a difference.
> 
> Third, all the exhortations about service and sacrifice were not
> window-dressing. It is important for us to be willing to give ourselves
> away, and as this new situation creates opportunities to do so, let us
> do so
> gladly.
> 
> Fourth, don't gloat-be glad. Gladness is not gloating, and vice versa.
> Scripture tells us that when God intervenes on our behalf, and our
> adversary
> is struggling, a good way to get God to stay His hand is for us to
> starting
> gloating. Relief and thanks to God are most fitting. Neener-neener is
> never
> fitting.
> 
> And last, as Shasta discovered in The Horse and His Boy, when you do
> something right, your usual reward is to be given another task, one
> probably
> more difficult. I say this because there is another election just two
> days
> from now-a public school levy election. As before, we are not telling
> you
> how to vote, just that you have this opportunity before you, and this
> opportunity, like all of them, brings responsibility with it.
