I just found out that I was listed in "Idaho's Top 50 Conservatives" in 2006. Yep, we tore it up that year...and haven't looked back.
I'm Number 38, to be exact. And, yes, I admit to knowing many of the other 50. More than anything I guess that proves that a few people can make a big difference. Just 50 people, and yet Idaho remains one of the most conservative states in the US.

It also makes me realize that people are watching your life - and you don't even know it. I don't have any idea who compiled this list 4 years ago. I know that I was involved in several politically conservative projects - fighting for the FOE Ten Commandments Monument to stay in Julia Davis Park, going to the annual March for Life, praying outside of Planned Parenthood. You name it, I was there. But, this blogger lives in a town 9 hours away from me...and, I was just doing what I know is right. When the Lord says to do things as unto Him, this is what He's talking about. Sure, it's kinda fun to discover (nearly 5 years after the fact) that someone recognized you for your service, but what's really exciting is to know that day-in and day-out your heart is set on bringing glory to your Jesus. That's the list I want to find my name on!
That is awesome!! You definitely deserve the honor of being one of Idaho's top 50 conservatives.
ReplyDeleteI know like half of the people on that list. :)
