Politics, Life, and Real Answers

While I was hanging out at the coffee shop this morning the topic of choice was politics.  Views were flying left and right, and of course I was slinging mine as well.  Rarely do we converse about romance, the arts, great music we’ve listened to, or the challenges we face in our own family relationships (occasionally someone else’s comes up).  Funny how we don’t spend much time talking about some of the most important questions we would like to have answered.  Crucial questions like: Who am I?  Can my life be changed?  To whom do I belong?  Is there hope for the world?  Can these questions really be answered by President Obama and other political figures?  I know they try.  I suspect that these real questions can be answered only by God.  A real God and not the one that we put in a box!  But that is a subject for another post.
