hope, redemption, and Super Tuesday

Maybe you're tired of my blogging about B.O. Sorry. Tonight I made a connection that has been coagulating in my mind for some time. So often when I hear B.O. talk, I find myself thinking of Jesus and the kingdom and justice and ...

Well tonight, I put my finger on it. B.O. makes us believe redemption is possible. That's hope I guess. We're not too far gone to have better days ahead. We're not so helpless to say nothing can change anyway so why even try.

I'm really tired right now - maybe I can rewrite this later. It just made me think about why I so often cry when I hear him speak. I hope I can convey the Truth of Jesus the way he does - to say redemption is here, the kingdom of God is near, right at hand - it is ours to grasp, Yes We Can - Amen, let it be so.

I'm not eloquent tonight in the least, but maybe you understand me in some gestalt sort of way...

good night.

HA! Leah, I hadn't even made the connection or realized that I didn't use Barack's name at all in that post - I do find body odor inspiring, but not in the same way!
