Presidents and MRDD

When Obama lost in New Hampshire I said I was more disappointed about that then when on the same night (or a night close to it) Ohio State lost in the National Title game, which is saying a lot since I like the Bucks so much. Last night Obama lost some pretty big states, but does that make me depressed? Well of course I wished he would have won, but how could I be depressed when I got to hear Walter Bruggemann speak at MVNU last night. Hearing someone talk about the Kingdom of God and the other way of life it gives provides so much hope that nothing, especially your favorite political candidate losing, could ever have the possibility of taking that away from you.

Hears to imagining and living the Kingdom life regardless of who lives in the White House!

Also, thanks to all those who supported and/or voted for the MRDD Levy. It only passed by 286 votes here in Knox County, but we’ll take it. Obviously my family has a vested interest in our local board of MRDD, but as I have learned over the last several years we all really have a vested interest in it.

Here’s to people with disabilities showing us the Kingdom of God!
