Election Year

This is a different year. I have to believe that America has been waiting with bated breath for this election year. We are not voting for the lesser of two evils. We are voting for the best equipped leader who will bring positive change to our nation. Are we open to hear both sides with discernment, without bias? Hopefully, neither candidate will put on a show, but tell me with detail how you will bring change. For our part, vote with discernment, not based on party lines, or one or two issues. I want our citizens, our country to be less concerned about how this effects them personally; more concern"for the least of these." Because to be honest, my family and I are doing okay. Show me numerically how our nation is changing; also tell me how our nation is changing for the long haul through story, how lives are being changed. Why? The story of God has always been about the other, about the entire world. So don't be become so consumed with your story, what your pastor may say, or how your religious and political influences you. Make an informed decision based on and how this will effect your neighbor, provide care and support for them. By the way, Barack Obama's speech at the DNR was brilliant and excited not just his political party, but excited all of us about change that can and will happen. Risky and bold move by McCain to ask Palin to be his running mate. He is not an old man lacking imagination and courage.
