Who gets your vote today?
I was first introduced to this guy, Shane Claiborne, by my 'Jesus is just alright with me friend' last year. I was so stoked to be able to see him speak a couple times to a live audience at the foursquare youth summit in Anaheim, California during the last hours of 2007. What I took away from his stories would have to be summed up in a 1v1 meeting with myself [scheduling availability here]. I would say Love, Grace, and the intentional view point of Jesus as being a very peculiar person would be some topics we would definitely hit. But his new book Jesus For President has struck a chord as I have been giving a minimal effort in following the current political campaigns aimed at the new presidency coming this year. I espcecially like the parts of this video where he talks about seeing "beautiful expressions of creativity in the church that just radiate God's love and hope and embody the good news." So when you vote this year..bring a sharpie permanent marker, create a 'new' ballot choice with 'Jesus: All Parties' as a choice and vote Jesus For President.
