Lectionary Tales for the Pulpit
Are you ready to vote? These days it seems as if that were a perpetual question. One campaign is hardly over before the next one begins. The political commercials on television are endless: the charges and the countercharges, one side "pointing with pride," the other "viewing with alarm." Someone once said, "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it wrongly, and applying unsuitable remedies." Sounds like a perfect description of what we get with all these thirty-second paid political announcements.
