I meet someone new, I get to talk to him or her
like a regular person. We joke around, talk about our families, and
then the inevitable happens. What do you do for a living? When
I answer this question, I typically get one of two responses. I
either get an onslaught of Christianese phrases -- Oh, praise the Lord!
What a blessing, brother Craig! or I get stonewalled, and the conversation
dies as quickly as it started.One time when this happened, the person
I was talking with politely shared that he didnt like religious people.
I chimed in that I didnt like religious people either. His mouth
nearly dropped to the floor. I explained that religion is about rules,
but being a Christian is about relationship.Now Im not saying is that
religious organizations are useless. Obviously, Im a part of one. I am
the pastor of a church and truly believe what Bill Hybels asserts:
The local church is the hope of the world. But in order
to reach the current generation and generations to come, we must change
the way we do things. Thats why we like to say, To

deficit reduction without harming the economy.In his first comments about
a budget he is to release Wednesday, Obama said he intends to
reduce deficits while at the same time providing new spending for public
works projects, early education and job training."We don't have to choose
between these goals - we can do both," Obama said in his
weekly radio and internet address.Obama's budget calls for slower growth
in government benefits programs for the poor, veterans and the elderly,
as well as higher taxes, primarily from the wealthy. Some of its
details, made public Friday, drew a fierce response from liberals, labor
unions and advocates for older Americans and prompted an unimpressed reaction
from Republican House Speaker John Boehner."It's a compromise I'm willing
to accept in order to move beyond a cycle of short-term, crisis-driven
decision-making, and focus on growing our economy and our middle class for
the long run," Obama said.Obama proposes spending cuts and revenue increases
that would result in $1.8 trillion in deficit reductions over 10 years,
replacing $1.2 trillion in aut
