So I go on blogger just to look at the stats and it tells me I have a follower! *gasp!* There someone out there actually following me! I was so excited because there's all of a sudden been many people from many different countries reading my posts and so I was really curious to see who it was!
It's my boyfriend. :p Aw, yay. :)
Anyway, today was absolutely gorgeous here! All I needed was a long sleeve shirt and jeans. I hope it's nice for everyone else because I know some of you are on Spring Break now.
Today has all been about politics for me and I was thinking how I've never really been interested in politics until recently. Then I realized I've actually been watching politics since I was 13.
Have you ever watched West Wing?
It's really a great show- even as a kid I loved it. There's an episode in particular I was thinking about tonight that I thought I'd share a bit with you. It's one where Chinese people fled China because they were Christian and China was not treating Chinese Christians very kindly at that time. I'm not sure they treat them any better now but anyway, I digress. So China wants their people back and the White House is trying to figure out if these people are just trying to get into the United States or if they are in fact persecuted Christians. The president, who somehow can know everything about history and religion and tell it in a way where I want to grab some popcorn, decides to speak with their leader and guide the conversation to a little known passage in the Bible where a person said a word to reveal they were a follower. The Chinese leader retells the passage to the president and thus the president believes him and the Chinese Christians are saved.
If only everything could be that easy.

This is unfortunately the best clip I could find. On another note I found this clip while searching for the other I hope you find it as amusing as I did.
