The purpose of the blog is to chronicle and solidify my understanding of the relationship between politics and faith through the discipline of writing and the growth offered through the comments of readers. The nature of it is a collection of pieces, arranged in no particular order. Rather than a complete treatise, this blog can be envisioned more as a box of puzzle pieces dumped on the table with an invitation to the reader to help pull them together into something coherent and recognizable.

About Me
- Kay Hart
- Austin, TX, United States
- I’ve spent my entire adult life focused on family and the internal experience of the life of the ages, a concept often rendered in English translations of scripture as “eternal life.” Yet, I find a new life focus – the public experience of the kingdom of God, a teaching of Jesus closely related to the life of the ages – calling my attention. In keeping with that calling, I’ve enrolled in the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas. Over the next two years, I hope to gain some understanding of what it might mean for God’s will to be “done on earth as it is in heaven.” Lest this strike fear in some that I speak of a fundamentalist theocracy, I must say that I do not believe an autocratic regime reflects God’s will in heaven or on earth and will probably take that up at some point in this blogging experience.
