Amazing what a difference a day or 24 hours can make. Last Sunday, I had two themes I could have used but I could only use one. Since my brother was heavy on my heart, I chose this ONE. Decided to use the other theme for today…but then something funny happened along the way. Obama announced his VP candidate–although how come I received my text message after MSN broke the story–but I digress lol–Joe Biden is his choice and the man of the hour. It ain’t no lie, I am disappointed. I was hoping against hope that Obama would do something more in line with his change platform. So far it appears as more of the same ole…oh well…sigh. Good news is that Obama still has my support…because I am voting for him for President and I will live with his choice for VP. Also, I have a few sorors/book club members who are already sending me information on why they believe Biden is a good choice. They might make a believer out of me yet. But tell them don’t hold their breath. LOL.
In the meantime, APOOO dedicates No Weapons by Fred Hammond to the Obama/Biden ticket.
BIBLE VERSE: No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. KJV--Isaiah 54:17
DISCUSSION QUESTION
Is there STILL a place for politics in the African American church? Why or why not?
Are you surprised by Obama's choice for VP? If so, who would you have chosen and why?
What books about politics are you reading or plan to read before the end of the year?
