Glad to see the governor keeping a healthy perspective about faith and politics. Good for him. Of course, stories like this infuriate his political enemies and/or those who appear to be hostile to the Christian faith as the ugly comments that follow the article demonstrate. If their venom represents what it is to be an “enlightened thinker” and how much better life is without God, I’ll pass, thank you.
“I can’t figure it out. Somehow the Lord has shined on me,” Kasich said. “And then he allows me to be governor. It’s incredible. So for me, you see, you’ve got to carry out the plan, and the plan is about lifting people. We talk about balancing budgets and all of that, that’s kind of not the deal. The deal is providing an environment so that people can be hopeful, and they’re hopeful when they can work and when they can feel satisfied, when their children can do better and when their marriages are more secure and their neighborhood works.
