Where am I going with this....

Alright, back to the political battleground now that Easter is over. So much has happened over the past few days that I have no idea where to begin. First we find out that Barry Obama lied when he said that he had never heard any of the rhetoric that his former pastor had preached and then he comes out and gives this speech that everyone is labeling the race speech. I have to say that it is a sad state of affairs when we still can't get over this race issue. How come everyone else can get along just fine but when a famous figure says something about race it ignites a flame that turns into a raging inferno. The entire country seems to jump on the band wagon and it becomes this ongoing conversation on talk radio, news, and the water cooler. Let it go people. Why are we still stuck on this race issue. Let me just preface what I am about to say by letting you know that I am in no way a racist. I believe that we were all created equal and God loves each one of us. It says in His Word, "In Christ there is no black or white, rich or poor,......". So that being said, how come people still treat people according to their class or the color of their skin. Let's get over it. (I will climb off my soapbox now.).

OK, it has been over a week since I started this entry and I am just getting around to finishing it. (Or adding on at least). Here we are in the elite 8 of the NCAA tournament and my team is out. I had Texas in the drawing pick and they blew it against Memphis. Oh well, I am sure the people at work are happy because I had Florida last year and got a lot of heat for it. Now in my online pick I still have UCLA in it but North Carolina looks to be unstoppable. Anyways, I know that this has nothing to do with the first part of this entry, but hey, I am a guy and The Final Four is coming up and that is what is on my mind right now. Politics will be politics but The Final Four is so much fun to watch. Plus, it is my blog and I can write whatever I want and you really don't have to read it. (I appreciate those that do though and please keep reading...).

So this week I have been all over the place and probably seem like I am babbling. I will stop for now and ask that you be patient with me as the tournament has one more week to go. After that it will be politic bashing as usual. I hope all enjoyed their Easter and hope you keep looking at "The Way I See It....."......
