Name:
Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

GOD'S IN CHARGE

I'm sitting here watching Fox News as the results are coming on from the New Hampshire Primary. I can hardly believe I'm writing this, but I am very relieved to hear that the Associated Press just announced Hillary Clinton as the winner (albeit it with a lot of votes still to be counted).

I can't see Barack Obama as the leader of the free world and would rather have Hillary there than the silver-tongued, opportunistic, single-term senator from Illinois. Not that I want that to happen either!

My problem is that I don't see a lot of promise on the other side of the political spectrum at the moment, though of course I'd go for a former Baptist Pastor before an actor, a mormon, an old man or a liberal.

Anyway, I don't really want to stir up political debate here.

My main point is this - whoever wins any if these races and the ultimate big prize, God's the one who is really in charge and so I can sleep peacefully tonight and every night.
