I’m Committed to Barack Obama

I wasn’t planning on making this a political week on the blog, but I read a great post on Michael Hyatt’s blog today. Hyatt is the CEO for Thomas Nelson, a large Christian publishing house in Nashville. I think his words are a good starting point for people of faith in light of the election results. Regardless of who you voted for, I’d encourage you to make similar commitments in your own life:

I want to do my part. Therefore, starting today, I am publicly making four commitments to President-Elect Barack Obama:

I will pray for him and our country.

I will assume his motives are good, giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I will not speak ill of him, even if I don’t always agree with him.

I will cast off the spirit of cynicism, and be a positive force for good.

Yesterday was a historic day. We can all be proud as Americans. Today, we begin a new future. It’s time to come together. I am ready for a united United States.

Can you make these four commitments?

What Are Thin Places?

"Thin Places" are rich in Celtic tradition. They are the places in our lives where the divine and the natural worlds come so close together that we can catch a glimpse of God. For the Celtics these places were very real - places within creation where we could physically go. The Thin Places in our own lives are those moments where the space between us & the Kingdom is thin, when we are introduced to a greater glimpse of Who He is through our experiences and through the stories of others.
