A Governor’s Legacy
Sometimes, you come across a post that just absolutely amazes. This is just such a post!
Gov. Bredesen: Herod, Judas or Pilate?
Legacy. Governors and Presidents worry, “What will my legacy be?”. It’s a fancy-shmancy way of asking, “What exactly will they say I DID for 8 years?”
Tennessee’s Governor, Phil Bredesen, is no different. Not up for election, and a Lame Duck, it appears he’s started thinking about his. Just before Christmas Bredesen found a building project he liked, and, likely caught up in the Christmas story’s drama, found a legacy in that season’s account of the life and death of Christ. With so many characters to choose from, you’d think the Governor would have picked someone inspirational. You’d be wrong. Instead of forging a legacy from role models such as Joseph or the wise men or even Mary; in short, instead of choosing a hero, he opted for a villain. There were three to choose from but I can’t decide which he was shooting for. So I’ll outline the options and let you all decide which role Governor Bredesen is playing. Feel free to leave your choices in ‘Comments’.
