Now I don't know if you can get into that any more or now. Anyone?<BR/><BR/>Fundamentally though, I'm not sure if it's so much about a particular issue,but a way of governing which is responsive to and also calls upon the people.<BR/><BR/>Not that issues aren't important, too.<BR/><BR/>We'll see....Diane M.

It is hard for a president to even keep his close employees in line, much less the whole country, but that is why the president needs to be one who inspires. And that is why I had a hard time accepting the McCain I saw during the campaign as compared to the "other" McCain. <BR/><BR/>Do you think/know if the candidates have position papers somewhere that define their terms or are we just supposed to think warm fuzzy thoughts when we hear certain words? <BR/><BR/>I'm thinking that Obama has led so many of us to have wonderful high expectations so that he is bound to disappoint.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-72506847769375356292008-11-14T07:26:00.000-06:002008-11-14T07:26:00.000-06:00What you said.

Ekklesia - the assembly.<BR/><BR/>And we must lift, hold, support and challenge one another to truth indeed.<BR/><BR/>Fixity and faith are hard to reconcile. If change is always perceived as threatening, where is the faith in that?<BR/><BR/>I say this, but trust me, I have a hard time living it.<BR/><BR/>The change that Obama represents is broad and sweeping and may it more often be for the broader good. I for one, tend to think it will be.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-37440832022413402932008-11-13T23:37:00.000-06:002008-11-13T23:37:00.000-06:00Right on, Diane!Right on, Diane!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.com
