Let us take the Tiger Woods controversy as a teaching moment. It’s annoying to me that we take these celebrity mess-ups as a time to attack that person. We should take this as a time to reflect on ourselves, our community, and our nation. The time has come to reevaluate our own relationships!

My initial thoughts on the controversy surrounding President-Elect Obama’s choice to have Rick Warren offer the invocation at his inauguration.

A recent CNN.com article discusses the actions of several atheistic groups to attack religion and the celebrating of Christmas. There is nothing wrong with them pointing out that Jesus was not in fact born on December 25th. It is also acceptable for them to point out that Christmas was grafted onto the celebration of the Winter Solstice or the Birth of the Sun. However, only offering attacks will not help atheists appear loving and moral which is the main attack against them. The better approach for atheists, agnostics, and theists is to help those who are in need. Effecting positive is what we need not more attacks. By doing so, these atheistic groups are falling into the same trap zealous religionists fall into.

Your obedient servant,

Do something. Article on CNN.com called, Woman wants to get resume off her chest, sharked the thought behind this video. Rev. George Latimer-Knight says, “So many people are looking for good jobs and looking for the best opportunities but what about doing something…You have to do something while working to obtain higher goals.”

President-Elect Barack Obama gave an inspiring acceptance speech. Let us pray for him as he makes decisions on his staff and cabinet. Pray for the Bush administration as they transition out. President Bush said he will make this as smooth a transition as possible and I believe him. Regardless of what Bush did, I do believe he loves this nation. The historic turnout and engagement of the electorate will help the incoming administration govern, if the people stay focused. Peace and Love to all.
