Obama: "The time has come to set aside childish things."
I have a gift certificate at Target left over from Christmas. I went to Target yesterday strolling through the Wii games, DVDs, CDs, organization, and office supplies. I was noting the latest WII games , and contemplating buying a new one for myself. I was thinking about guitar hero or animal crossing. Suddenly I flashed back to the inauguration last Tuesday, and Obama's speech.
"We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things."
I left the electronic aisle and went to the book section. Rick Warren, Warren Buffet, thumbing through their books it seemed like they were from a different era. No longer relevant. I had resigned myself to thinking that the only relevant material would be on the web. But then an entire display dedicated to the Obama's caught my eye. I had read his second book, The Audacity of Hope when it came out in 2006. It resonated with me and my views of the world.
Anyway, I bought his first book, Dreams from My Father , originally published in 1995. I have been unable to put it down since.
