2024 Presidential Election

For people who know me, they know my life is an open book. I will freely talk or discuss anything--except politics, unless someone asks me a direct question.

Over the years my politics have changed, as I have learned and grown, not just as a person, but as a Christian.

Yesterday's presidential campaign, no matter who you voted for, was shocking to say the least.

I purposefully have kept Facebook to a minimum today because I don't want to continue the hatred and riff among my friends. They have strong opinions, and I do as well. However, it seems that my Christian friends are the loudest--and maybe not for the best.

In a post-COVID world, patience has been lost; civility has died, and everyone seems to believe in an "us vs. them" mentality, forgetting that we are all human.

We, at least in the United States, don't see people as people. If they don't act like us, if they don't vote like us, if they don't have our religion or if they have a difference in theology or in the Bible, they are less-than.

This mentality breaks my heart.

As a Christian, I try very hard, and pray for God to reveal to me how He sees humanity.

And what has God shown me?

Love.

And what is love?

The Bible speaks much on love, but Jesus summed it up in this way:

This is from Matthew 22 (NRSV)

34: When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35: and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36: "Teacher, which commandments in the law is the greatest?"

37: He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38: This is the greatest and first commandment. 39: And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40: On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

In everything we do as Christians, we must be others-minded, not self-minded. And this includes our politics and to whom we vote for.

For a lot of people, these next four years are going to be scary and anxiety-filled. It will be a time of uncertainty. And there are already people laughing at those whose lives are now at risk. This is a legitimate fear and concern.

As a former Nazarene pastor, and a hopeful Episcopalian Deacon, I am going to continue to pursue love and do my best to pursue love in everything that I do. And to see people as people, regardless of anything that makes us different.

To the Christians who voted for Harris, I am heartbroken with you and I am praying with you. Keep looking toward the Lord. Have faith. Continue in love and equality for all. Continue in kindness. God has not failed you.

To the Christians who voted for Trump, I also pray with you and for you. Remember the marginalized, the orphan, the widow, the disabled, the immigrant, the Queer Community, and the poor, they are people too, who deserve the same rights and privileges you now possess as January comes and the Government turns Republican. Remember God has not exalted Trump, the American voters did. Don't turn Trump into an idol.

Also, to the Trump supporters, remember Micah 6:8 (NRSV) : He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?

Peace, Love and Blessings,

Cody Marie

It's been 10 years passed since The Bible TV miniseries on The History Channel came out in March-3-2013 and let me tell ya: that was AWESOME, inspiring and life-changing! This TV miniseries tells us about Noah's ark, the Exodus and the life and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth are some of the best-known stories that are in the Bible ever since we've read the Holy Bible and that could change our lives forever. God is GOOD all the time, y'all. 🙏✝⛪

@bwycbic So often, we judge others by our own alleged standards!! What nonsense it is only our Lord who sees what is on the inside. It's time to stop judging others forc the time of judgement is near. 1 Samuel 16:7. But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” #bibletime #jesusistheway #biblestudy #dailybible #joy #oldtestament #thebible #christ #jesuschrist #holybible #faith #christian #christianity #god #christianblog #jesus #wisdom #verses #bible #bibleinspiration #serve #repent #repentance #scripture #amazinggrace #trustgod #praise #prayer #heaven #life https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn1PQj9r-3R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

5 Disturbing Reasons Your Pastor Isn’t Preaching the True Gospel (And How It’s Hurting Your Faith)

In today’s world, many churches have strayed far from the true Gospel of Jesus. Instead of focusing on the message of grace and salvation, some preachers have turned their sermons into lessons on rule-following, fear, and control. As a result, many believers are left feeling burdened and spiritually exhausted. The true Gospel is about love, mercy, and freedom—but if your preacher is more…

I cannot believe we are already finished with January and we are about 1 week in February. I apologize, as life has been incredibly difficult the last several months that I have not done any work here.

I am very proud to let you all know that I am starting the process to become a Priest in the Episcopal Church. In November I completed the required Day of Discernment. This meeting introduced me and other candidates to the Episcopal Church, our Diocese Bishop, and introduced us to our mentors.

Our Diocese Bishop will be at my church on Easter. And as a result, I will also be confirmed in the Episcopal Church on Easter. I am very excited about this.

I also have been able to work on some healing from the trauma I experienced with the Church of the Nazarene. The Episcopal Church has been night and day with not only how they live out the Gospel message of "Love thy neighbor" but they also do what they can to be open, welcoming and supportive.

In less than 1 year I am not only a lay music minister, but I am now a part of the Mission Committee (Church Board) and my role within the committee is the clerk (secretary). I cannot wait to see how this blossoms. Currently, along with my twin sister, we are taking a confirmation class to get ready for Easter and we cannot be more excited to be a part of such a wonderful church and community.

As I continue in learning more about the Episcopal Church, my goal with this blog this year is to share some of these revelations with you and share some of the cool things I am learning and to introduce you all to a wonderful book: The Book of Common Prayer.

Peace, Blessings and Love to you all,

Cody Marie
