There is the possibility of being engaged, with God's project to save the world (John 3:17). (Is it permitted to quote the Bible here? Notice I did not quote John 3:16). How did so much of the church, at least in this country, end up turning it's task into saving souls, and scorning the idea of saving the world--when there's not a damn thing the church can do to save a soul (if souls can be saved, God alone can do that), and the only thing humans could ever save would be the world. I say this because, if we know anything about what we're for, it is that the project or stewardship or task given to us was/is to save the world.

What a really great speech by Obama. The whole affair was good. Rick Warren was fantastic. Yo-Yo Ma and company playing Williams' score was just a great moment. I didn't dig Aretha Franklin, that'd be my only exception. All in all I think that was one of the best speeches I've ever heard. But, like in all things, we gotta wait and see. WOW!

Describing the crowds on the national mall the announcer says: "The mall has been full for over 2 hours. The is no more room at the inn." GAH! &@#^!
