Lunch with a Congressman
Yesterday we went to church at Faith’s parents church. They were having a 4th of July celebration, followed by a luncheon. Congressman Trent Franks was their guest speaker. Though I have seen and heard him speak many times, this was the longest and best experience. It wansn’t a political speech, though there were many comments on national issues. It was a sermon about keeping America on track with the Truth of God.
I don’t want to go into details, because it would be long, and I would probably mess something up. But the long and short of it was, I was impressed with his commitment to God and Country. Old fashioned values, but it was nice to hear.
After church, there was a luncheon that we attended. It just happened that Mr. Franks and the Pastor sat at the table next to us. The people sitting next to me and Jean were really good friends with them. After everyone had eaten, Mr. Franks was speaking with everyone who came up to him and his wife, saw the couple next to us and we all began talking. After maybe fifteen minutes, Mr. Franks came over to us and we all spoke for a few minutes. Jean asked for a picture with Mr. Franks and his wife, and the couple we met who was friends with them. Faith was already standing with them and when Erin saw the camera she had to jump in. So here is a link to the picture I took on my helicopter. It’s not the greatest, but in a pinch it worked out fine.
And so you know, after speaking with his wife, I know they don’t use “religion” to get votes. They do follow Christ. Their testimony convinced me of it. I already respected him and his politics, now I have even more reason to.
