A King & a Kingdom

Who's your brother? Who's your sister? You just walked passed him. I think you missed her. As we're all migrating to the place where our father lives, 'cause we married in to a family of immigrants
My first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man. My first allegiance is not to democracy or blood. It's to a king & a kingdom.
There are two great lies that I've heard: the day you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will not surely die and that Jesus Christ was a white, middle-class republican and if you wanna be saved you have to learn to be like Him.
My first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man. My first allegiance is not to democracy or blood. It's to a king & a kingdom.
But nothing unifies like a common enemyand we've got one, sure as hell but he may be living in your house. He may be raising up your kids. He may be sleeping with your wife. Oh no, he may not look like you think.

When I have a bit more consciousness stored up in me I will post a more intellectual response, but for now, I would just like to congratulate you for the most devotion of late to the blog. Props to you, my friend!!!

Thank you. I try. And by that I mean, the blog is an excellent way to avoid doing things I actually should be doing (ie homework). But actually, when we are blogging, I really like the blog.
I'll try to come up with a real topic soon. And by that I mean, one that doesn't involve me stealing song lyrics.
