I agree with some of your points,even though I don't hold out quite as much hope as you do (see my <A HREF="http://lordibelievehelpmyunbelief.blogspot.com/2008/11/some-random-post-election-thoughts.html" REL="nofollow">most recent blog post</A> as to why). But still, it is a time for hope.<BR/><BR/>[And per your next post, where you turned off comments - I am so sorry to hear about that. I won't say don't take it personally. But at the same time, don't take it personally. I mean, it seems to me people expect pastors to be mindless automatons of agreeability, and then they over-react when they find out their reverend has a mind of his own. All you can do is be yourself and love them anyway.]<BR/><BR/>MR,<BR/><BR/>I know - one of the most exciting things to me was that my 23 year old, who is usually VERY apolitical and apathetic, actually voted and was excited about the outcome. A new generation is coming forward.

There was a change last night that was much greater than the relief of the democrats to finally see the balance of power tilt their way, but rather by people who have never felt connected to their country because they had no investment in it are now invested. Today there are more Americans than there were a couple days ago, even though their geographic location didn't change.<BR/><BR/>He's still pretty much a mystery--he was elected because he embodied "change." Well, I could paint my house hot pink and it would be a change, so ???<BR/><BR/>We'll see, but less people feeling disgruntled and disenfranchised today hopefully translates into less complaining. And I am ready for that, man.MRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03543269000083131799noreply@blogger.com
