I don’t like to discuss politics, but… I will say that our President is an inspiring man. God created me with a deep passion for the minority, the hurting, the poor and the underprivileged. Guess that’s why I do Young Life. I know a bunch of teens (among many others) who are looking at things differently now, who now have a little bit more hope and who are now inspired to give thought to the possibility that they may actually be able to achieve anything they put their minds to. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.

I woke up today with a little inspiration of my own… I got out of bed at 5:30, put on a pot of coffee, washed the dishes and then sat down at the table with hubby and dove into day one of The Patriarchs (a Beth Moore study we are doing in our Bible study class). After which I went outside for a jog. I think today is going to be a good day.

I am excited about this Bible study. I actually did this one three or four years ago, but I know there is a lot I can get out of it now. It’s a very historical study, and I am not a huge fan of history. Historical facts excite hubby though, so I am excited about the things he will teach me and inspire me to learn.
