Politics

Just watched a video on the Washington Post website that was a message from Barak Obama. He is forming a committee to think about running for the presidency. His words were moving and calm. It was brief and to the point. I love that he said the issue is not the magnitude of our problems but the smallness of our politics. He is right.

A couple of weeks ago at church we had a small class where we took the Sunday paper and looked through it as a group and chose some specific articles and prayed about what was written there. We were practicing putting the presence of God in the here and now. I know, God is already there but we need to acknowledge that and practice being aware of that presence. I had chosen an article about politics and the war. I am guilty of immediately putting my own political slant into anything written or said about politics. I had to step back and put God back into that situation. Hard for me to do. Is it hard for you?

Did you like the song? I keep listening to it and have now starting singing along with them. I find Rose and Rose addicting.
These are the two women singing the song. Check out their sites. Their names are Rose Polenzani and Rose Cousins. They record separately.
