What a great thing to have witnessed Bev. Hope is a
powerful and necessary message. The year before last my
friend's son and my cousin's son, both teens, killed
themselves (unrelated suicides) because they felt life was
hopeless. A lot of the crime you read about stems from a
lack of hope. I know it will be a difficult road ahead for
Obama, if elected, to translate a message of hope into
some semblance of governance that might take the edge off
of people's despair. I'm not expecting ice cream, but I am
expecting a shift towards much better things.
Christians won't know until the end if their hope of
heaven will manifest, but that doesn't deter their
hopefullness. Obama, who is neither Christ or Anti-Christ,
but an intelligent, fervent politician with a message of
hope for a troubled America can be assessed in only four
years. It's an exciting time when people like this little
old lady feel inspired to get involved. I think no matter
what happens in tonight's election or over the next four
years, something has changed for the better already.
