My church pastor is a fan of Barack Obama and it is not difficult to know that, because he shamelessly embraces the "Change" slogan even in his Sunday sermon message.
Let's face it - Man has the natural tendency to procrastinate in making a change. How many times have we heard ladies discussing "I feel so fat, but I'll start my diet... tomorrow!", and right after saying that, they will dig into their tub of ben 'n' jerrys. Sometimes, we won't be struck with the urge to act until we feel completely hopeless, say struck with a terminal disease, or in the case of America, had enough of a President who waged a war without a good reason (remember the discovery of zilch weapons of mass destruction?).
Well, what's more important is actually for Man to acknowledge the Lord's ability to take away the baggage from our past. They are like foreign bodies that continue to shape our precognitive senses and our social and ethical values. May the Lord gives us strength to overcome the demons in our minds, to bring about the eventual change in our attitudes and actions.
Talking about change. It is always refreshing how a song from the 80s is given an updated sound of the 21st century. With a hand on my heart, I wish everybody a very blessed Lunar New Year!
