A new Day, A New President
This morning we got up and America has a new President.
I think there are many good things about Obama being the new leader of the U.S.A. but that is another post and time will tell.
Anyway as I drove my eldest son to school this morning I said to him, "Do you know we have just had an election?"
He replied, "Of course Dad, I voted at school the other day."
Fascinated I asked him, "So who did you vote for?"
And without a word of a lie he declared, "Dad I voted for Obama."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I like him... and he needs my help to be the President."
I sat there in silence and let his words sink in. Someone who runs the publicity machine of the Democrats needs a raise. They got their message through. Even to 2nd grade Aussie ring ins.

All things to all men... to win some to Jesus
Since I now live in the "deep south" I thought my Aussie mates might like to check out my new "do". Nerida does NOT like my hair long, but I keep telling her, "Hey Honey it's for the sake of the gospel, at least God's not asking me to go where he asked Timothy go... ouch!

Johnny Cash's America
As an Aussie living and working in America during the 2008 U.S. Election I have two questions:
1. Why is America SO divided and angry at one another?
2. I grew up listening to my Dad's Johnny Cash Records and as I listen and reflect on what John has to say about "his America" I have to conclude that the real America is far from what is presented by the media. Why? And who's running this show, the people or minorities?
