Ramblings

Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker that said:

"No matter how great you think that Jesus is, he's even greater." Like we need the reminder.
It seems like our society (maybe even humanity in general) has a tendancy to focus on the person and forget entirely about the point!

For some reason that triggered a thought about a sentiment that I have heard a few times by different people that is summed up by saying:

In this important election I want to vote for someone who is smarter than me! I am not interested in someone that I can relate to! This election is so much bigger than that.

So is that our problem? The spoiled nation that we are... Do we reduce every thing and every one down to something with which we can relate? Isn't that the wrong way to look through the binoculars? Shouldn't we be aspiring above and beyond?
