Obama Stirs Hope

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

If peace came in the form of a Playboy “bunny,” it might get more attention – but would it get any commitment?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

I’d like to expand on a familiar verse from Isaiah…

You shall go out with joy and be led fort with hope.
You shall go out with peace and be led forth with love.
The rivers and the streams will flow on in glory.
The meadows and fields will spring up in splendor.
The birds of the air shall soar with the angels.
As the words of life echo through the night,
You shall go out with joy and be led forth with hope.

Do you like it?
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“They want me to be judge in the Fairy Queen contest. Of course I’ll do it, Peter!”

[Why not? Well, He probably would have said it according to my gospel…]

D. Blog: Different Kind of Hope?

Some churches in town were a little emptier than usual yesterday. Mr. Obama was the featured speaker at the outdoor service (campaign stop) at the high school football stadium. About 6,000 fans stood on the hillsides overlooking the packed stadium, which held the capacity 22,000. They were not too concerned that they didn't hear everything he said. They got the inspiration and hope they needed from the service and his presence.
