		<description><![CDATA[As Aretha Franklin so aptly sings:
“R-E-S-P-E-C-T
find out what it means to me&#8221;

“It&#8217;s been a long, a long time coming, but I know
A change gon&#8217; come, oh yes it will.”
Change has come.  Yesterday, as I campaigned in Philadelphia for Barack Obama, I had the honor and joy of a special experience.  In a small concrete island at an intersection in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frank Schaeffer, author of  CRAZY FOR GOD-How I Grew Up As One Of The Elect, Helped Found The Religious Right, And Lived To Take All (Or Almost All) Of It Back, wrote a fabulous article about why Obama will be one of the greatest and most loved presidents.
Definitely worth a read.

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been reading Deepak Chopra’s book, Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine, in which he talks about the body’s capacity for healing itself.   It’s interesting how what he says about healing cancer rings true for healing nations.
