The insight of my beloved brother Tim in Australia continues in mind: rather, it's a touchstone of all my thinking about the evils of this time.

"Politics is not really about politics."

Lately God's been guiding my thoughts towards economic, as well as political, issues.  And it seems Tim's insight also applies there; that "economics is not really about economics."  

I've been pondering that.

I certainly can't claim any expertise in these matters:  I can only think about them in their simplest terms.  But there's often some clarity in looking at the basics of things.  And at their most basic, politics and economics are simply human behaviors.

To my understanding, that puts everything in context.  Human behavior was exactly what Jesus talked about.  Human behavior is exactly what we should mean when we say "Jesus is Lord."

 Politics, economics, whatever human behavior (or their theories) we name...aren't really autonomous entities.  Jesus is Lord.
