Mike Huckabee is running for president...I actually know Mike, he's preached at Grace Point...years ago... Mike is under fire for running a Christmas Ad. He basically eschews the politcal fray for the moment and says this is the time when we should focus on family and the birth of Christ. In the ad there is a bookshelf that in advertantly forms a cross which most bookshelves will do when the two boards come together. The critics find the symbolism and the exclusive ad offensive.
Mike is a what you see is what you get person. He's the real thing. I don't know what kind of president he will make and this isn't a political endorsement. I do know what kind of man he is...one of faith and character...funny how those traits don't necessarily make for a good president anymore. He's a candidate who endorses Jesus...not the confused brother of Satan mormon Jesus...but God's only begotten son...He's a candidate who follows Him... and who is willing to be politically incorrect at Christmas....I don't know if he'll make a good president but he makes for a good man....too bad those are different.

I went on YouTube and watched the ad after reading this post... good stuff.

You should see the rants by people like the "catholic league"...actually accusing him of symbolism etc...He said yeah if you run it backwards it says paul is dead ... : )
It's pretty intriguing to me to think what might happen if Huck was elected. He is not a political idealogue and I think his "he's right...no, he's left" pragmatic approach to people is refreshing. Just don't know if enough people would buy in.
Have you noticed the other candidates copy-catting his Christmas ad! Critical of him, yet attempt to get a similar kick from the idea. Hypocrites!

Jeff, the following is just an FYI (to your audience not so much to you), feel free to delete this comment if you don't feel it's appropriate.
This Sunday Huckabee will be speaking at Cornerstone Church (830/11). I'm interested in hearing more from him in person than just the sound-bites and debates. And then, getting back in time for GracePoint's 11am service.
Sounds good to me David!
