I've always had an interest in politics, but, like talking about Jesus, talking about politics is one of those topics that tends to get people upset. Even when discussing political issues with other Christians, it's very easy to offend or begin to judge another's views. Because of this, I usually just keep my thoughts to myself in the interest of peace and not rocking the boat.

I was recently reflecting back on the 8 years since I moved to Ann Arbor and how much my life has changed in that time. It seems like ancient history, but it wasn't very long ago that I was a firmly-rooted atheist with no interest in, and in fact a disdain for, the church and Jesus Christ. These reflections cause me to think past myself and wonder, what will it take to see more people's lives transformed in the same way that mine was? What will cause a person to turn from their old life and live for Jesus?
