Yes We Can!: Day 5
Today, I prayed. I prayed hard. And I have high hopes for all of mankind; not just the people in the country I live in. I don’t feel superior because I live in America. I am not superior. Superiority isn’t based on a country, a race, a gender. Superiority is what God has chosen as superior. It is principles, and sticking to them to the best of one’s ability that is superior. And for that reason I pray and continue to pray for change. For a change that will change the mindset of us in this country, and make us realize that there are other people, in different parts of the world, that matter. We don’t pick and choose who is better, whose lives are worth saving. We don’t risk killing people, and possibly be wrong. If we support a war, we better be sure they are the ones who commited the harm. If not, we better hold our fire… for if we don’t, God Heareth and Seeth all.
Today, I prayed that Barack Obama would gain momentum. He has. Thank God.
And let me add something. It isn’t the man that I seek. It’s the ideas that are offered. I also keep in mind, just like any person should, that no human being is perfect. Sometimes we must choose against ourselves and look at priorities. My priority is life. I pick life.

This isn’t a form of spam. I had a choice of not posting anything or posting something, and this is exactly what I did. There is nothing that tells me that I can’t be sincere about what I focused most of my mental energy on. So if you just want to criticise, don’t waste your energy on negativity. Let us try to be positive people.
