Time for taste of winter? Well it is November so into our lives a little snow must fall, yes?
Apparently it's the 30th anniversary of the Jones town Massacre.
Two days after the election of Mr Obama, I'm thinking that those folks who believe that the U.S. government can / will save them will experience some discouragement, 4-8 years worth. It's saddening to hear the "Leader of the Free World" characterize unplanned children as a punishment. Whatever you may think of Rev Jeremiah Wright (the President elects "ex-pastor"), he no doubt understands that "children are a blessing from God". Our brothers of Ishmael's descendants recognize and accept this blessing. It seems that we in the "developed world" have adopted death is a tool that we are willing to use for social purposes, assisted suicide or abortion on demand.
So while you contemplate what personal achievement means to you, take a moment to pray for our leaders that their hearts might be changed, that they will see to promote the choices of life and blessings not death and punishment.
We need to acknowledge our current location and the road ahead in order to orient ourselves to our desired destination, grace; hope to see you there.
Next post to come book review of Og Mandino's "The Greatest Miracle".
