This Christmas I pray for a Revolution...
This Christmas Russian television announced that Obama plans to amass 1 million troops in the U.S. for an expected civil war.
This Christmas the White House announced that the bailouts are far from over and they may continue indefinitely. I happen to know that the banks were never in trouble. I happen to know they plan to take more money and don't plan on a job recovery at all. I recently worked at a J.P. Morgan Chase event and heard it from their mouths. The waiter staff was all foreign and I was the photographer. All was laid out in the open not expecting someone not on the 'inside' to understand what they were talking about.
This Christmas I overheard others complaining that they would receive family visits on more than one day.
This Christmas I heard a preacher that drives a Land Rover and lives in a well above average home tell a story. The story was of a church member that was about to lose his house. This church member was also a close friend of the preacher. The preacher's answer bellowed from his gluttonous belly, 'I'm so sorry, let's pray together.' I'm not sure what lesson we were supposed to learn from this story that I heard from the expensive speakers and watched on the top of the line video screen and cameras that hung from the rafters of the multi-million dollar building we sat in. I didn't get to ponder the story that long, for after telling the story the preacher then asked the staff to prepare the tithe baskets that would soon contain his salary instead of the past due mortgage payments for this church member.
This Christmas I, despite these distractions, remembered that it was Jesus' birthday that we are celebrating and not the lights, gifts, food and gifts aplenty. So, this Christmas I pray for a Revolution. Not one of guns and weapons and words, no, but one of the mind and heart. I pray for a Revolution of Love, Agape Love. Will you pray with me?
