Several years ago, I was lamenting about something in my life and wondering if it would ever work out. I was walking the streets of East London with teammates at the time, Henry and Maggie. Henry in his normal brash manner told me either you believe , “ God is sovereign or He is not!” Those words pierced my heart and changed my outlook regarding my Christian walk. I walk in confidence knowing the God I serve and love has a plan that is much better than I could conceive.
Today the senate will vote on the Healthcare Bill the house passed on Sunday and our nation will change. I oppose big government; oppose the government making choices that should be left in the hands of American Citizens. I want to believe our congressmen, senators and president really are looking out for we the people…but my confidence wanes.
I struggle, as I think about my fellow countrymen and women who do not have healthcare, or have inadequate coverage. Living in the disability community this is not a black and white issue. I have friends who’s lifetime limits have been met by the time their son was 4 and other friends who pay several hundred dollars monthly just to rid their bodies of urine and feces, something most of do for free! So do I think healthcare needs to change radically, I do! I want my friends and family to pursue life, liberty and happiness and be healthy, but I do not think through government is how we achieve these goals.
I dream of the day we as American’s stand shoulder to shoulder and really learn to care for one another, not because government tells us to but rather because of a relationship with a personal Savior called Jesus. Today, I thank God for He is bigger, and pray he teaches us all to care for one another!
