my lil' politician

i wish life could be lived in the simplicity of childish thought. granted it might be chaotic in some areas, and lacking in others, but when it comes to politics it might just be downright fun.

as prayers began tonight, the bedside ritual, my lil' politician made his debut speech. after the perfunctory thanks for the day, forgiveness of sins, he moved with ease and agility to this fiasco we call the presidential race.

"God, please bless Sarah Palin, Barack Obama... and who's the other one?... Oh yeah, please bless his vice president, too. (Where did McCain go?...) Help them to really enjoy being president. And make the right choices as they take care of us. Patrick, any prayer requests..."

i give him kudos, he even remembered some names. what are they watching during the day? i'm guessing the debate was high on the list today.

in the end, my prayers go with whoever God chooses to put in office. not so much who gets there, but as lil' man said, more how they make the choices that take care of us. amen.
