My Vote for Secretary of State

Hillary Clinton is about to be confirmed as the Secretary of State replacing the outgoing administration's Condoleezza Rice. By appointment and confirmation Secretary of State Clinton will be number 4 in the line of succession to President elect Obama (might want to keep an eye on the Vice President, Speaker of the House, and Senate Pro tem if you know what I mean...if you don't know what I mean consider the unexplainable tragedies that took place during Mrs. Clinton's husbands presidency).

By title Mrs. Clinton will represent the U. S. while leading the State Department in foreign affair matters (she should be a pretty good student on affair matters). She will represent the President concerning matters related to international policy. The newly appointed Secretary will have the responsibility of negotiating with both allies and enemies. She is the head of the State Department. She leads our nation in negotiaing, developing, and implementing foreign policy matter.

As I considered Hillary's appointment to this authoritative and seroius position I couldn't help but think of who I would really want standing for this country both with our allies and our enemies. Who do we need representing our country both domestically and abroad? What person would best interface with the allies and the enemies for the purpose of bringing global good?

I'll tell you who...Jesus the Christ the one who brings peace, that's who! If there were ever a time in the short blessed history of our nation when we needed Jesus to be the Head of State it is today. David told the enemy Goliath, "Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel." Oh how we need the Lord of hosts to stand as our representative.

Blessings,
