i'll probably be stoned to death for this

everywhere i go, everyone is cheering for Obama.

i'm not cheering for him or anyone else.

something about this upcoming election unsettles my spirit.

to be honest, it frightens me.

it has nothing to do with proposed agendas, campaign speeches, or personalities.

something about how everyone is so mesmerized by Barack Obama.

something about it all doesn't feel right.

i'm not saying he's a 'bad man.' and i'm not saying he isn't. i'm saying something about the whole thing isn't quite right.

i can't quite articulate it. but i'm praying for clarity. my spirit is definitely rattled for a reason.

i've never particularly cared about elections, candidates, politics or the like. i didn't even blink much when Bush got elected.

but for some reason, i cannot get this shaky feeling out of my gut about Obama, this election, and what is to come. things are happening. changing. being set in motion.

it's bigger than politics, healthcare plans, taxes, rights, earthly things. people are looking for all these positive changes here in this country. on earth. i think things are changing - but not just in an earthly sense. it's bigger.

i wish i could explain, but i don't fully understand what i'm feeling.

but i'm praying. definitely praying.
