In God We Trust

I worry about the state of our nation probably a little more than the average guy my age, but with the recent news on this upcoming election I tend to fear the worst for us. The only Godly man in the bid for the white house was knocked out last night, and that makes me sad. Normally, I would just settle for another conservative candidate, but there doesn’t appear to actually be one. McCain is a good man, he’s been a good senator, but he’s not really a conservative, and I don’t think he can beat Obama. In fact, I’m not entirely sure anyone can. My only hope was, and is, a miracle. Obama is a uniter, with his slippery speaches and carefully thought out language, he is amazing at telling people what they want to hear. He reminds me of the literary charature in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Grima (Wormtongue), and quite frankly, the man scares me. I want to agree with him when he talks of unafication, and progress, but I don’t want the progress that man wants. His seeming inability to make up his mind about where he stands on the issues is bothersome for me too.  I don’t mind saying that his Muslim background is somewhat unsettling to me, mainly because of the fact the he won’t really tell us what religon he is now. I don’t think he is a terrorist, but it is scary to think the leader of one of the most powerful countires in the world might be praying to Allah for guidence, instead of Jesus.

McCain is the best choice we have left, but I fear that his age, and his stance on the war will keep him out of office. So, what is my hope? I guess I’m hoping for God to interviene. I think if Obama was a strong Christian he would be one of the greatest leaders our country has ever seen. Maybe God will touch him personally once he is in office… I guess I should trust God to see the the right leader is appointed to office.
