God
The Shock Factor of Heaven
Much ado is being made this week about Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meeting face-to-face in Helsinki, Finland.
Despite the hysteria and clarifications, I’m more fascinated with another “face-to-face” that all of us will experience one day. That interview will contain no spin, deception, or need for understanding.
Quite the opposite.
Call it the shock factor of heaven.
Is God a Moderate?
This week’s nomination by President Trump of D.C. District Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court remains the talk of the nation (including many mindless protests).
Kavanaugh is a superb candidate with impressive credentials. He graduated from Yale Law School, has a beautiful family (he and his wife Ashley met in the Bush 2 White House and have two daughters), possesses a strong Catholic faith (he serves the needy through Catholic charities), a good sense of humor (in coaching his girls’ basketball teams he said, “they call me Coach K”), and vast and eloquent legal opinions (300 cases over 12 years).
Kavanaugh “reveres” the US Constitution and will not be a judicial activist. Yet, some believe he might be a “moderate conservative” due to a few opinions he authored.
Only time will tell. Personally, I believe he’s a good choice for America.
Even if he does have some moderate tendencies, isn’t that a good thing? After all, isn’t God a moderate?
