My daughter, Hannah, has been a Republican for most of her life. This was her milieu, surrounded by good people who thought that was the Christian thing to be. While a political science student at a Christian University she experienced the issues from a different point of view and consequently registered as an Independent. Today she is a Democrat! Not for any of the little reasons, but for the big ones! The issues that have to do with real Christian values!
I was thrilled tonight by the spectacle at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Not only did Barack Obama inspire an unprecedented convention crowd of 84,000 people. He inspired my daughter, he inspired her mother, he inspired me, and he inspired a nation!
As people of faith we must seek true guidance that is not limited by human opinion or party line. We must pray that our country elects the leader that will be right for America and right for the world! We must pray that we have the courage and the insight to vote according to who is meant to be the one to lead this country forward through the difficult days, at home and abroad, that lie ahead.
Tonight we heard a speech from a man who feels called to be that leader, a man who is willing to risk himself and his family to serve the greater good, a man of faith, a man who has proven that he can cross party lines and inspire a nation to work together to bring change. He believes in the values that every American holds dear. Let's abandon our soapboxes and take a moment to look at this historic moment from a new perspective. May we all commit to work together, hand in hand, to recreate the America that was the dream of those who have given their lives to protect it. Still not convinced? Then pray about it my friend! And remember to listen for an answer!
May God Bless America and Shed His Grace on Thee!
Love and Peace - Geoff
