1) Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States. He is also the first black man to assume the post. He also happens to be a self-proclaimed "mutt", which tells me he isn't afraid of his heritage (nor should anyone else be - of his, or their own).
2) Due to my faith, I was challenged (by more than one person) on whom I should be voting for in the Presidential election. They felt it was, shall we say (and in not so many words), unChristian of me to vote for a party that is known for being more liberal than many of us would like.
3) But it got to the extent that one of them essentially challenged my faith altogether. He claimed I had pseudo-faith.
4) The whole point of my entire life has become the desire to worship God, and do His work - not to have pseudo-faith. Needless to say, I was greatly offended by the fact that said person thought I had pseudo-faith.
5) I have very tainted, human faith - nowhere near the perfection God expects. It is a struggle - but it is a struggle that even the most faithful battle with every day. But I refuse to believe that because I am less than perfect that I have pseudo-faith.
6) On a lighter note, I've become a fan of the free iTunes downloads. Not all of them, but I have taken to liking several of the alternative and Christian genre songs.
7) Go check out donotmail.org. Educate yourself on how much junk mail is actually sent out every year to the United States alone, and what you can do to stop (or for the time being reduce) it. The statistics are staggering, incredibly disgusting, and will actually make for quite excellent information in my technical report on Green Printing, and why everyone should recycle their paper. (It doesn't biodegrade as fast as you think it does!)
8) To quote John Green, my new favorite author even though I've only read one of his three books - "Best wishes!"
