Wordless Wednesday: Me and “The lip gloss”
OK. Not so wordless. The following is a photo of me in the same color of lip gloss I am giving away!

Sunday Slowdown
Normally I would have a personal reflection on Sunday, but this Sunday is special. My dad turned 50 on Saturday, and there was a surprise birthday party. I surprised him at the surprise party by being there! So– at 1:01/2:01 AM, I leave you with nothing but this photo. I hope at lunch with my Grandma, Dad, The Boy and me (and others), we can get a picture of the four of us together.
I suppose this is my reflection– sometimes blogging is replaced by more important things. God’s love shining on me and reflecting on to my family is one of those “more important things.” In the mean time… I share a verse that a good friend brought to my attention. It sticks with me…
The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)
You didn’t really think I could just post a picture, did you?

A Call to Action
In November I asked, “Now what are we going to do about it? How are we going to continue to engage the masses of new voters that were compelled enough to show up at the polls? How are we going to unite a deeply divided and wounded populous?”
Well, today is the first day of what are we going to do about it. People were on the Mall before sunrise. The populous is obviously moved. Will they heed the call to action?
I found his speech to be to the point, and it is increasingly obvious to me that he is a strategic thinker. His 100 day honeymoon to get things done will probably be anything but smooth sailing, as there are many people who will have to change their way of thinking– not their values, but how they get things done– in order for this vision to take shape.
There will be people who disagree.
There will be people who get their toes stepped on.
But there is also immense hope.
Hope in and of a population that has been disengaged in politics. I
believe the engagement of the people is good for democracy. Social learning and an open government, while infinitely more challenging, leads to a better result.
The answers are still to come, but for now I will drift off to sleep with the picture of a couple in love on my mind.
