I think the call of faith, hope, and love requires action, but it seems like I need constant inspiration (and/or a part time job) to commit to doing something on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>Aaron: I would if I felt very strongly about the candidate.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-36324541539889086372007-03-05T16:44:00.000-05:002007-03-05T16:44:00.000-05:00I've got a novel idea.

Our urban ministries experience really brought this movie to life for us, as we saw the main character struggle. It reminded us that while many in our culture today define happiness by comfort and find that so easy to attain, there are many in society for whom happiness is much more elusive. The continual pursuit; however, is a cross-cultural, multi-generational and socio-economical issue. For most, we no sooner grasp the reality of the Gospel message and happiness before it vanishes before our eyes (Luke 24: 31). <BR/><BR/>The social ills that our culture faces cannot be pinned solely on one political party or another. And the call to impact the world for Christ can be answered right where you are everyday. It’s not a lame excuse to feel overwhelmed by the pain in the world, who isn’t? But we can’t ignore the call of our Savior to be a part of the solution and to be a means of grace to a culture who needs to hear His message again and again. No matter what your party affiliation, the need for faith, hope and love is constant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776970989229587452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-28530462150042493732007-03-05T14:05:00.000-05:002007-03-05T14:05:00.000-05:00Brandy: Ann Coulter tries to be obnoxious and offe...Brandy: Ann Coulter tries to be obnoxious and offensive b/c that evidently attracts some people.

Given that we have the privilege of ignorning it every day. I am in the same boat. Though I think the volunteer work at the local level is totally valuable. You make a difference in their lifes and to brighten your community, which is where you live and what you contribute to. Don't sell yourself short in that regard.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439772399487069107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-46328582205538579402007-03-04T23:31:00.000-05:002007-03-04T23:31:00.000-05:00Ann Coulter frustrates me and I'm not even America...Ann Coulter frustrates me and I'm not even American. Although I disagree on what she says, I find it difficult to listen to her speak because of HOW she speaks. She just always comes off too obnoxious for me, add to the fact that I think she's partly insane and it's enough for me to switch channels. Even when Anderson Cooper is talking to her. Damn I love that man.brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353594558144154909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17276748.post-87895988000803660082007-03-04T18:12:00.000-05:002007-03-04T18:12:00.000-05:00Billy: Well I'll have to pass on murdering Ann Cou...Billy: Well I'll have to pass on murdering Ann Coulter, but I can see why you wouldn't even want to waste a minute reading her book.

Voting against Republicans is a good start too. I think you probably discount the influence you have and will have throughout the rest of your career/life on affecting positive change. <BR/><BR/>I (someone that is def. NOT a republican) was given her "how to talk to a liberal" book by a former family member who thought it would be enjoyable for me to read because a narrow minded friend of her's that served in the military thought it was good. Umm...i never opened it. I gave it to my mom who read a couple of pages and then sold it at the used bookstore. <BR/><BR/>I find it funny that Republicans are now reduced to calling John Edwards (he's not even a front runner) names and trying to explain Rudy G's three marriages and why his kid's don't acknowledge him.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714207579669974050noreply@blogger.com
