Hope and Peace are on the way! Just need to let go of the fight and have some fun. Kerry is "not" going to show his cards. Why? He made a promise to America. He would continue to fight for Americans. He is keeping his promise. He was accused of flip flopping he never had done. Now, that he is remaining on a steady course, supporters expect John Kerry to "change his mind", because "they" need a repeated promise. God promised us too. God answers prayer and he keeps his promises. God considers the whole world, first, since he didn't promise just Americans. He is answering and keeping his word. God gave Kerry the wisdom and intelligence to "do the smartest thing and stay on course". Lawyers know more than Bush the puppet dictator. Kerry is making the correct moves. Stay the course, trust Kerry, and test Kerry by trusting that he is who we all saw at the debates. Smart, wise and above all else "the most patient man in the world". Kerry put up with Bush, when he would like to have slapped him silly. Give John Kerry credit where it is due. He has shown us his human side, his great strength and his daughters reflect his kindness and heart. Have some faith. Has he done anything wrong deserving our distrust or has he simply done the smart thing, "just as he said about the stupid bush war". If I were John Kerry I would be crying out for just "a little faith in him from his once supportive helpers and voters." Surely, there are many wonderful acts of faith left inside of us all, yet. You all said, John Kerry is our "ONLY" HOPE and hey, he is a pretty nice person. I know I did. My hopes are with Senator John F. Kerry.  And there they will stay. After all, if a person is treated like a thief or criminal, "he may just begin acting like a criminal...or at the least..."lose hope himself" and stop trying. Why cannot we begin a movement "in total support of Senator Kerry?" So that, he feels supported and does an even better job of fighting for "our agenda and our votes to count". John Kerry "needs our support right now, just as much as  WE NEED JOHN KERRY'S HELP AND SUPPORT! Lets do this, okay kids? Hope everyone will send Senator Kerry "holiday cards of faith in God and our good and true friend John F. Kerry". It's time to party in advance celebration of President John Kerry. And let God know we have faith he answered our prayers, after all, John Kerry did win. Got to believe, to have the miracles. Create what we all want in your mind and let it be, okay now? God bless, Mike

Enlightenment by Carol Wolman

 
Enlightenment is painful.  When we see the truth, we see through the hypocrisy of the pious rulers, we see the horrible crimes that are being committed and the dangers that are mounting up.  We see the blindness of the Christians who support Bush, and marvel at it. 
 
We could sink into despair, easily.  But I am amazed at the spirit of resistance that is bubbling in all the usual places. 
 
Evidently Bush's priority right now is quelling the rebellion in Iraq, and he feels secure enough at home to ignore the boiling rage of so many voters, as the evidence of a rigged election keeps mounting.  The major media are keeping the lid on, the New York Times and the Washington Post having run editorials assuring us that Bush won fair and square. 
 
But Nader is demanding a recount in New Hampshire, and the Green and Libertarian candidates are doing the same in Ohio.  Kerry's lawyers are busily and quietly examining the voting procedures, but whether to gather material for a challenge or to pacify us, no one is sure. 
 
Meanwhile, Bush is in charge.  We all know that the Patriot Act is in effect, and our emails may be read at any time without our knowledge.  How quickly our liberties will be eroded from now on is anyone's guess, but the restraint of another election is gone. 
 
Some Marine tanklike things "got lost" and wandered into a peace protest on Veterans' Day, reminding us that posse comitatus, which forbids the military from getting involved in domestic police actions, can easily be suspended. 
 
I'm thankful that Bush stole the election by rigging machines rather than by a terrorist attack.  So far, so good.  And we still have some freedom, although TIPS, tanks, and other horrors are lurking in the background.  If anyone could be worse than Ashcroft, it's Gonzales.  Are we in for Abu Ghraib at home?
 
Enlightenment is not necessarily fun.  But we must keep our spirits up.  It helps to have faith in a loving and just God, despite all the effort to portray Him as vengeful and sadistic.  I believe that sanity and goodness will prevail, somehow, before it is too late.
 
If we are blind, if we shut our eyes to the gravity of our situation, we will not survive.  If we shut out God, if we lose faith in His love for us and His desire that we choose life, we will despair and give up, and we will not survive.
 
Jesus told the blind man, "Have sight; your faith has saved you."
He immediately received his sight
and followed Him, giving glory to God.
Luke 18: 42-43
