Bus Essay #2: Yes we can.

I kind of feel like Obama has stolen the word "change" from me....us.First I should get some things out of the way. I am not a republican or a democrat. I voted for neither party is this last election & will probably continue that streak for a long time to come. I do think we needed some sort of change in the offices of our elected officials, but I don't think it was just a party change. I think we need an overhaul of structure - end political speech -

I recently saw a t-shirt that said "I will be change" - BUT it had this giant silhouette of Barack Obama in the background. I don't think political change was on Gandhi's heart when he said "Be the change you want to see in the world." I don't think he meant "Be the change you want to see in the office of the president." Don't get me wrong, I think President Obama is a genius. He had a viral campaign like none other. His campaign will go down in history as one of the best. I just think change is a heart issue and not a voting issue. To me change has a lot more to do with our interactions with people and recognizing things we could do in order to better our lives and theirs.

Here's a few things that I'm going to try to do this week in order to "Be the Change"

-Help my co-workers with work without complaining in my mind.

-Help my wife clean the kitchen.

- Pray More.

-Enjoy the things that God has blessed me with and not just want more things!

-Give some money to a homeless person and not think "they are just going to drink this away".

-Praise God for life.

-Not watch as much TV.

-Say "Thank you" more.

Yes we can.
