When you let go of hate,
you evaporate the thoughts of sin,
you are free to be yourself,
to love again,
to breathe the fresh air of God,
When you let love back in,
the hole in your heart is filled,
you no longer cling to sorrow,
depression fades in the shadows,
a light from above restores your steps,
Why not try hope today?
let go of grief,
feel the relief that forgiveness bears,
ignore the seasoned words of doubt,
listen to the sweet message of peace,
Let love reign today,
pin a smile on regret,
let God back in,
feel the troubles fade into the world...

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well. James 3:2
For the last couple of years I have been learning how hard it is to be a Christian. At first I thought that once I had risen from the water that all would be changed. Yes I was changed from sinner to saved, but my sins continued. I have made many mistakes over the years. In every way I have attempted to live perfect in God's eyes, but I have fallen short so many times.
There are times when the mistakes seem so obvious but I end up entrapped by evil. Its like you tell yourself that you're going to stumble and inevitably it happens. Its like when you are in a relationship with someone, you know that they don't like something, but invariably you make the mistake of crossing that border and destroying a lovely thing.
Once you have made a mistake it becomes hard to undo it, even to change your mindset about not doing that thing. The devil always seems to be just gunning for you to make that mistake. Its like when you are at a football match, you are waiting for the other team to make a mistake so that your team can win. Its a sad situation.
God expects us to be perfect, but have we understood what perfection is? There is no easy way to say this, but I believe the church has failed in the teaching of this concept. Look around, what examples of perfection do you have to look upon. So many around us have fallen short of the mark. In fact, Jesus is the only one I can look to for perfection. Isn't that sad? What does this mean? Does it mean that the majority of us in the church are yet to even comprehend that perfection should be our goal.
How many times have we told ourselves that our mistake is okay because we can ask God for forgiveness. Is God blind? Do we think that he cannot read our hearts and know that we are about to make that fatal error in judgment. I have come to the realization that I need to understand what perfection requires of me, instead of covering up for my mistakes. There is a limit to our sins, there is a point of no return. If we can recognize what perfection requires, then we can start to live life in the way that God expects us to.

Well well well, up to the time of the writing of this article, the Democrats had won the Senate but were losing the House. The Republicans were leading by 40 points for the House. It will be interesting to see what unfolds in the US in the coming months. From my point of view, Jamaican and US politics seem so similar. It doesn't matter how you batter people they are quick to forget. Everyone knows that the problems in the US were caused by Bush and the Republicans, but everyone is blaming Obama. So, they vote in the Republicans in the House, to bar every bill that Obama will try to insert to fix the economy. And yes, the job market was suffering badly, but who said that the US would be able to come out of a recession in 2 years. Truth be told, the Republicans have no real plans to get jobs for the jobless. Their aim is to protect Wall Street and to remove Main Street.
The road ahead is going to be hard for Obama, but now the Republicans will be in the spotlight, let's see what excuses they will make now....interesting times.
