CHANGE & HOPE
In several of his recent postings Linden would lead with a few words addressing change and hope. The focus was on how meaningless these words are if there is no identification beyond the mere words themselves. Of course, this attention to the words was triggered by their frequent use by the democrat presidential candidates. One must wonder about the various hopes for change when, in the time of Moses God called down plagues on the Egyptians.

First, all water was turned into blood. This was followed by frogs, gnats, flies, death of livestock, boils, hail, locusts and darkness. Finally, the life of the firstborn of all Egyptian people and their animals was taken. During this time there was much unrealized hope for change.

POLITICS
At the national level, the Clinton-Obama standoff continues with little promise of quick resolution. Obama is reported to now be leading in the superdelegate count: This could change. The Republicans in Indiana, in most cases, did not have closely contested primary races. So, thousands switched to vote as Democrats in order to affect the presidential primary outcome. This not only led to strange results in some Republican races but also fueled speculation that Indiana is becoming a "liberal" state. Locally, in Hendricks County there were many more absentee ballots to be counted but our Voter Registration group once again performed admirably.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Returning to normal activities and catching up on the things let go during the time of the failed election effort has been the primary focus. The Men's Prayer Breakfast was the top activity on Friday Saturday was a work around the house day and Sunday was headlined by Church and Sunday School.
