Restoring hope
Saturday, February 14, 2009 at 08:38AM Have you been feeling pessimistic? I confess, I have. But hear what this young man has to say. He gets it. He can articulate what's wrong with this so-called 'change you can believe in.' Folks, there are a whole lot of people who DO 'get it.' All is not lost--yet. Learn the issues, become informed, and don't be afraid to speak out. Your elected officials may not listen to you, but mid-term elections are coming up in two years. Pay attention. Speak up.
Christians--pray. Speak up. Be salt and light:
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

He's a very smart young man - and I'll tell you what gives me at once the most hope for the future and the most anguish: that it is the young people like him and so many others who will have to deal with this mess long after the rest of us are long gone.
I just hope that the younger ones will remember that not everyone in our generation was so foolhardy and short-sighted and selfish!
And thank you, Kim, for those powerful and encouraging words of hope!! We do need to be salt and light!
It's so easy to feel alone when so many are more than eager to support anything Obama wants to do. I started watching Glenn Beck this week and he offers a daily reminder that we are not alone. Thanks for posting this video. I enjoyed it.
