Peruvian Shamans for Obama, IF ONLY THAT WERE ENOUGH!!

If only good wishes and vibrations were enough then Obama would win. The sad reality, that most of us are aware of, is the incredible disparity between registered voters and those who turn out to cast a ballot. I implore everyone reading this blog to not only vote but to vote with someone. Ensure that your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles make it to the polls.

This past week I found myself about to pray that Obama wins the election. I had a moment of clarity and remembered the value and purpose of prayer in my life. I am willing to pray for understanding, guidance, and tolerance. But to ensure Obama wins office requires commitment , preparation and action, not my prayer.

I will not pray for a politician to win but I will pray for the state of the world in which we live, and for Barack Obama the man. Voting alone will not change it, it also requires preparation, commitment, and action. Tuesday is just the beginning of a long road ahead and I hope that Obama is at the helm.
