Dear God:
Today, I am thankful for bold participation.
Empower me
to be a bold participant,
rather than a timid saint in waiting,
in the difficult ordinariness of now ...
~Ted Loder
I know. I have stood on the sidelines too long during the current Presidential primary season. Not because of indecision about a candidate either. My inaction comes from lingering burnout from volunteering during the 2004 election and my intense guilt about volunteering when I should be doing paid work.
Yet, if I don't do anything to effect the change I want to see, then I have no right to complain about my party's eventual candidate. So, I am jumping into the fray with a new sense of urgency and purpose. Senator Obama needs my help. And, the February 5 Colorado primary is just around the corner.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
