My initial enthusiasm about the election is subsiding. A personality contest is no way to elect a leader. We need a more thoughtful process.

Whatever happened to the phrase “public service.” Few decisions by our leaders seem to be in the best interest of our citizens.

Maybe we need more of a coalition government that allows more voices to be heard. Public financing of campaigns to ensure a level playing field might be a good place to start.

Thank you for taking the time to read through my post. I am glad that you enjoyed it. It was something that I have been wrestling over for quite some time.

We -the universal ‘we’- are falling victim to our own low standards and poor expectations. We are terrified of change though we crave it desperately. As much as we desire change, we fear it that much more, so we keep playing the same political tune, selecting the same comfortable faces, and lobbying the same complaints. I have decided to simply write in the person I think would make a great president and know that God is still in control no matter who wins.

Blessings,

Thank you.

I really enjoyed reading over your blog. You have some very provocative insights. Some of the post you wrote reminded me of my sister. She is a philosophy major who is struggling with the Christian God. However, hers is a battle influenced by our ugly family past, the CCM Christian archetype, a church that failed her, and pride. I love her dearly and hope that her journey guides her to a place of peace and rest. Likewise I also hope that your journey leads you to fulfillment and wholeness.

I hope that you don’t mind, but I have added you to my blogroll so that I may visit your journey often.

Blessings,

Michael
