I really like mcCain... but this scares me a little bit... and makes me laugh at the same time... can you say "appealing to the crowd?"

what am i about?
to me, it is important to live, to really live. but as i say that, i really have no idea what that means. i would see myself as a radical, a person that does things that are not normal, that are not socially acceptable, but not for the sake of doing them... but for the sake of pushing others to ignite. for some reason, i see myself as a catalyst, here to push people together and to ignite in them something... SOMETHING tangible to work with. i believe that it is only out of tension that things grow, that only by fire are things purified, and that only by the unending grace of god are we able to live, breath and think... not to mention sing.
i love Jesus, i am not going to say that i love him with my whole heart, because i dont know how to do that... i have been contemplating what being a follower of Christ looks like, because i have seen so many different pictures and ideas about what it means to follow him. I have learned that the only way to really understand the being that named himself the Savior, this God who is in heaven, is to realise that he loves me... i echo the thoughts of Brennan Manning in his book "The Ragamuffin Gospel" when he says "my deepest awareness of myself is that i am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and i have done nothing ot earn or deserve it".
im not sure what the christian life looks like, but i know that i am persuing it... and that in that, God is found. all of the theology we try to put on God, all of the crap we try to throw in the way, it all is obliterated in the light of grace... for the Gospel of Jesus is not one of what you do, but who you know... its relational, its dynamic, its a flowing, moving current of life and love and hardship and joy and good and truth and forgiveness and nothingness, all moved in and through this idea, this river of amazing grace... how sweet the sound!

It sounds like typical political posturing, which every politician does, though you can sound-bite anyone to death when there's no context to the quotes. You'll notice that I really haven't posted much "pro-McCain" stuff in my blogs, etc. That's because I'm not really a huge fan of his. He was near the bottom of my list in the Republican primary and I had basically decided not to vote for him before he added Sarah Palin to his ticket. I like her a lot more than him. She would be the best President of all four of the major party ticket candidates. Where McCain comes out on this whole ridiculous $700 billion taxpayer bailout of the financial sector will be a big decider whether I stay behind him, now, or not. Chuck Baldwin, of the Constitution Party, has the best conservative principles of anyone in the race, but given the corrupt 2-party & major media-controlled process that we have, at this point, less than 1% of the voting population will ever hear anything about him before they read his name for the first time on their ballot on election day. Although Ron Paul did just threw his support behind Chuck, so that may get him a tiny bump in the exposure game. Barack Obama would be the biggest presidential disaster ever, though, which is why I've spent my time just pointing out the dangers of his candidacy. Ultimately, as you know, though, no political party or candidate is going to change the world or bring about what the Kingdom of God can. In such highly-charged political climates, it's important to remember that Jesus is the King of all Kings and that every other leader, including the POTUS, pales in comparison...
