<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Summoning the soul of a nation, President Barack Obama on Wednesday implored Americans to honor those slain and injured in the Arizona shootings by becoming better people, telling a polarized citizenry that it is time to talk with each other "in a way that heals, not in a way wounds."</div></div>These are very wise words and ones that I forget too often. It is strange how things work out and how God works in my life. Not getting preachy here but this week I said some things that, although very true, were very hurtful to the person. In youth tonight the youth pastor was talking to the kids about Ephesians 4:29. It definitely struck a chord with me. Then when I got home I was reading Drudgereport and came across this article.

There have definitely been a lot of stuff said about this tragic event and in the end it comes out that it was no more than a guy completely out of his mind. It had nothing to do with politics yet that was the first thing that the media started broadcasting. I am with the President on this one.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">"I believe we can be better," Obama said to a capacity crowd in the university's basketball arena — and to countless others watching around the country. "Those who died here, those who saved lives here — they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us."</div></div>I don't know if these are his words or if someone wrote it for him but I agree with them 100% and I appreciate him saying them.

My understanding is the president struck the right tone.
We will see what happens once back in Washington. He pivots quite often.
