Who Woulda Thunk It?


I read in the newspaper today (Yes, I still read them!!!) that Barack Obama won the Iowa primary for the Democrats last night. In IOWA? IOWA?? IOWA??? DID YOU SAY IOWA???? Iowa has more voters over 60 than any other state in the union... (fact) and Iowa is a predominately white and conservative state... (not that there is anything wrong with that) I just never expected Obama to do well there. The fact that he did, speaks volumes about America today... It says that at least for now... people can overlook race and color and listen to what someone is saying... That may be politically naive... but, it gives me hope... that at last America is changing and moving beyond it's racist past. That's a good thing!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: I feel so uncertain, so unsure. I want to trust that you are present, that you are acting on my behalf, and that you hear and will answer my prayers. Yet, my confidence is spent, my faith flat. You speak in my heart and tell me to seek your face, and I am longing for the sureness of your presence, the touch of your breath, the warmth of your love. In my doubt, O God, let your Spirit hover over me with the gentleness of angel’s wings, until I am opened to faith and once again recognize the pattern of your face. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
