It does at times seen almost hopeless...but as others have said, our only hope is in Jesus Christ and not in any man, job, house, candidate, relationship or circumstance. You are right, as believers we still struggle daily to do the "right thing", so then it goes without saying that those who don't have the Holy Spirit are in a constant battle! Thank you for your truth and honesty.

Our job is to share the gospel...not to judge those who will not receive it. I did not vote for Obama, but he is our President and I have repect for that office. I already don't agree with some things that I've seen associated with his administration, but it just spurs me on to pray more frequently and passionately for our leaders.<BR/><BR/>XandraXandra@Heart-of-Servicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583676836374203349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-88143374892454723682009-01-16T14:57:00.000-06:002009-01-16T14:57:00.000-06:00Linda what a wonderful post!

The switch in tone and demeanor from talking of Bush's legacy (or the lack thereof in their not-so-very humble opinion) to discussing Obama's cabinet appointments was amazing. Vitriol on the one hand, and unbridled enthusiasm on the other. <BR/><BR/>And I say that as a completely unbiased observer! :-)<BR/><BR/>Your post is right on. Only through Christ do we have hope.
