Follow the Leader

Playing "Follow the Leader" was so much fun as a child. You walked around mimicking everything they did and when somebody messed up, you laughed. Playing "Follow the Leader" as an adult is not quite as much fun. First we have to find out who the leader is and where he/she is going. We have to determine if they have the skills to lead and whether or not we can follow where they lead. As we move toward the November 2008 elections for a new US president, many of us are again playing "Follow the Leader." Who will you follow? In the movement towards peace, we must follow the one who leads like Christ, who is concerned with the welfare of the marginalized and the poor, the voiceless and the forgotten. Follow Christ our Leader and you will find Peace.
