Anyway, I am trying to be better about writing my representatives, so just wanted to pass on the word in case you get an itch to write (as I see you make frequent reference to NPR).<BR/><BR/>BTW Hi!...sorry I've not written in a while. I hope you are well. I'll be driving through on Friday, will try to call to see if you are around.

I think we Christian folks are called to seek justice for everyone, not just ourselves. <BR/><BR/>As I'm thinking about your frustration with "politics stuff," I think we have to be careful to distinguish between politics in a legislative sense, and politics in a "what's happening with my neighbor" sense.

If you try to discuss politics with me, you will realize I know very little. And I am happy that way. People get too into politics and they get very angry about it.
