Mahathir's decision to leave the senior leadership largely unchanged appears to be part of a plan to enter into a holding pattern until the UMNO general assembly next year.
So I'm always reminded and humbled by the fact that what we do at any given moment is just part of this bigger pattern, part of God's plan, part of a process.
If a similar plan is indeed being worked out behind the scenes in Wisconsin that would fit the pattern of numerous Tea-Party controlled states enacting strikingly similar legislation all at the same time across the country.
