Making history



Couldn't resist posting this- posing with the next President?

I have enjoyed reading The Audacity of hope and I'm looking forward to Dreams from my Father by Obama.

Here is an excerpt from Audacity:

"It was because of these newfound understandings- that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for economic and social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved... The questions I had did not magically disappear... but... I felt God's spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself and dedicated myself to discovering God's truth"

An articulate president will certainly be a refreshing change!

  4. hey-- welcome!

    (I really, really enjoyed Dreams From My Father, preferred it to Audacity, actually. Well-written, thoughtful, insightful. OK, I admit it-- I just got back from voting, and I'm feeling enthusiastic.)
