America will never be perfect. America will always need change. America needs change now. It needed change 8 years ago, it needed change 80 years ago. It will need change in 4 years.
America needed change before we were at war. America needed when the economy was strong. America needed change before millions of babies were killed before birth. America needed change before we were consciously aware of the energy crisis.
I don't remember one candidate running under the motto, "Let's not change anything." I voted for the one's who I thought might bring the best change in accordance with my thoughts of what the government can do to enable any of those changes.
None of them would have been perfect. America still isn't perfect. It never will be. No form of government could ever orchestrate it to be.
I love America. I wouldn't trade it for any other country. Its faults and imperfections should be dealt with, but they are on the back burner of importance for me as an American Citizen.
I'm much more concerned with what Christ wants to do with this country and the rest of the world than what America wants to do with this country and the rest of the world. I believe wholeheardetly that his leadership is perfect. There is no fault in Him. There will never be a fault with Him. He will never change, yet He will never need to. I find my solace and comfort in that. That enables my contentment with the government elect in this country, because I find its importance in the grand scheme of things minimal.

Four years from now, I imagine I will be in the same situation. America will need change. I'll vote for whoever I think can bring that change closer to what I picture as Christ's ideal for this nation.
This year, I happened to think that was Obama. Last election I thought it was Bush. I feel no shame with either of those boats. I won't regret those choices. I can't see the future any better now than I could yesterday.
I may come to wonder if I made a wrong choice in voting for a leader of this country, only history will tell me that.
I won't ever come to wonder if I made the right choice for savior of my life and the lives of all of creation throughout eternity. History will always prove that again.
There is one leader who can bring perfect life change, either to individuals or communities. It wasn't ever going to be McCain, it won't ever be Obama. It will only be Christ.
I fear change.
Fearing change probably isn't good since one of the biggest possible life changes is coming your way in a matter of months.
Little Kemper will cause enormous change.
