Of course, the more important the issue the more the politician reforms

because they change it so much. Unfortunately, the exchange is usually

them to any office. 

I sometimes get weary of all this superfluous change. It is true; the
more things change the more they remain the same. What I want to change 
never does and what I do not want to change does. 

You can imagine what comfort I get from the Bible that never changes
despite the efforts of some people. Two verses are particularly 
comforting to me. 

One from the Old Testament: "For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore
ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." (Malachi 3:6 KJV.) 

One from the New Testament: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to
day, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8 KJV.) 

When it comes to final words, I want that word to come from someone who
will not capriciously change that word and upset my life. I can always 
trust Jesus Christ to give me a word I can always count on.
