Can someone please tell me what is going on with this country?  Albuquerque (the city I work in, but don’t live in) has decided to hamstring the police department by not allowing them to ask the immigration status of criminals, thereby allowing criminals, who also happen to be illegal aliens, to bail out rather than be handed over to the feds for prosecution and/or deportation.  How does this make any sense?  Perhaps we can just invite every criminal on the lam from their home country here for a burrito and a “stab” at our own populace who’s just waiting to be victimized.

I’m in a position where I get to work with people from all walks of life, including people who have gone through the legalization process.  But that’s the thing; this country has a process, and broken or not, it is currently the only one available to people interested in working and residing here.  I’m absolutely furious that political leaders throw up their arms and say there’s over 10 million here already, so what do we do?  If asked, I would say, ‘well, how do you eat an elephant?’.  The answer is, one bite at a time.  And while I completely understand that the vast majority of illegal aliens are hard working people trying to take care of their loved ones, as honest as they all are, they are still breaking the laws set up in this country and need to play by the rules.

Rant’s over. Deep breath.

God has called my family to a different church.  This is always a tough time as the people we leave behind are people we love.  But rather than looking at the breakup as the end, I think it’s better to look at how God used Paul and Barnabas to evangelize to even more people (check out Acts 15:36-41).  I give it to God for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and I am His to use at His will.  Have you condsidered what God can do for you?  Please take a moment and ask Him to take the shoulder the burden and enter the peace that passes even my lowly understanding.
