If you have just had lunch, go back and read something else.  You may toss your oats when you read the following quotes.

“Many even see in Obama a messiah-like figure, a great soul, and some affectionately call him Mahatma Obama.”

Dinesh Sharma

“A Lightworker — An Attuned Being with Powerful Luminosity and High-Vibration Integrity who will actually help usher in a New Way of Being”

Mark Morford

“What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history”

Jesse Jackson, Jr.

“This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

Barack Obama

“Does it not feel as if some special hand is guiding Obama on his journey, I mean, as he has said, the utter improbability of it all?”

Daily Kos

“He communicates God-like energy…”

Steve Davis (Charleston, SC)

“Not just an ordinary human being but indeed an Advanced Soul”

Commentator @ Chicago Sun Times

“I’ll do whatever he says to do. I’ll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear.”

Halle Berry

“A quantum leap in American consciousness”

Deepak Chopra

“He is not operating on the same plane as ordinary politicians. . . . the agent of transformation in an age of revolution, as a figure uniquely qualified to open the door to the 21st century.”– Gary Hart

“Barack Obama is our collective representation of our purest hopes, our highest visions and our deepest knowings . . . He’s our product out of the all-knowing quantum field of intelligence.”

Eve Konstantine

“This is bigger than Kennedy. . . . This is the New Testament.” | “I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often. No, seriously. It’s a dramatic event.”

Chris Matthews

“[Obama is ] creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom . . . [He is] the man for this time.”

Toni Morrison

“Obama’s finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don’t even really inspire. They elevate. . . . He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh . . . Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves.”

Ezra Klein

“Obama has the capacity to summon heroic forces from the spiritual depths of ordinary citizens and to unleash therefrom a symphonic chorus of unique creative acts whose common purpose is to tame the soul and alleviate the great challenges facing mankind.”

Gerald Campbell

“We’re here to evolve to a higher plane . . . he is an evolved leader . . . [he] has an ear for eloquence and a Tongue dipped in the Unvarnished Truth.”

Oprah Winfrey

“I would characterize the Senate race as being a race where Obama was, let’s say, blessed and highly favored. That’s not routine. There’s something else going on. I think that Obama, his election to the Senate, was divinely ordered. . . . I know that that was God’s plan.”

Bill Rush

I’ve been hard on people that see Obama as the anti-christ.  But after reading the above comments, maybe he has the potential…

Public Schooling vs. Home Schooling

August 25, 2008 at 1:42 am | In Faith, Homeschooling | Leave a Comment

A good friend shared a thought with me last week about home schooling.  My wife and I have struggled over the years to discern the will of the LORD with respect to our sons’ education.  We’re supporters of homeschooling but our local schools are quite good and we’ve had no reason to feel compelled to pull the boys out.

That’s not to say we haven’t had a strong pull from family and friends.  In fact, it has been incredibly guilt-inducing at times.  Arguments for homeschooling range from “it’s easier on the schedule” to “public schools are dangerous places for kids these days”.

Heather was sharing her thoughts and said that “the safest place for your kids is right in the palm of God’s hand”.  If we can’t trust that God will take care of our kids, then we need to reexamine our faith.  If God wants our children in a public school, homeschooling is the wrong choice for them.

That said, I feel the need to reiterate that we do believe that homeschooling is a good and valid option for many parents, and certainly the best option if God leads you to do it.

Just don’t tell me that God wants us to do it.  He’s been pretty clear with us that our kids are supposed to be in the public school here.
