Politics is a difficult business. Politicians are elected because they represent a particular view. Yet once they are elected, they represent not simply those who voted for them, but the entire community. Blaise Pascal wrote sage words that apply to our political system. He wrote: We show greatness not by being at one extreme, but by touching both at once and occupying all the space in between.
May the Creator of time and space enable each of us to experience the wonderment of being able to see and to understand the world from many perspectives, and to appreciate the glory of all that lies in between them.
May this be God`s will--AMEN.
