I'm Not Trying to Be Critical

Have you been watching the debates on who will be president? I have. I am not interested in politics, or sports. Does that sound unbelievable? Well, I just can't see spending lots of time on things I am not really involved in. If I pick a candidate- will it make a huge difference? Not really; but I do vote and I am watching.

What has amazed me more than anything is the amount of emotion that some fans have. Tears flow down their faces, tempers rare up- for what? I really wonder why "ordinary" citizens invest so much emotion into a candidate. I would understand if it was family, or maybe a friend: but someone that really does not know them. Hum. I respect the person that feels passion. I want to know what the passion does? How is that passion changing the world?

I am not trying to be critical of anyone. Certainly to feel so strong is admirable. But, it seems to me that the true passion we invest should be over eternal matters. Where is my passion today? Is my faith enough it brings tears? Do I believe strong enough to invest time, money and my soul in what I believe?

I thank all people that invest in worthy projects. Politics? Well, for me it is not what moves me. But I hope my faith does change the world- one person at a time, and maybe that is what these fine people wish for too.

God bless America and may we humbly seek God in it all. And may our candidate bring us closer to God. For that is my ruler,a leader that proved he was all about change: and willing to be a prisoner of war: the war of good and evil.
