If you missed day one of the Democratic convention, you missed an awesome speech by both Clintons but particularly Bill’s. This is going to be an interesting election year!
“It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence liberates others.”
Yeah. Now we don’t have cable, so I (being the true web geek that I am) watched the speeches online. Jimmy Carter’s speech was extraordinary. This, more than any other election in my memory, will be about the values that we hold dear. In *so many ways* it will be about the ways in which we, the followers of Jesus, define ourselves.
