November 4, 2008

This is probably the most important thing I will do today. We are so fortunate to live in a country where we can vote for our choice of the candidates. I am a Republican and voted that way. If you choose to vote for the other candidates that is your privilege. That is one of the many reasons I feel is so wonderful about our United States of America. We must put our political differences aside and work for the good of all of us. Many years ago, even before Jesus was on this earth, Aesop spoke "United we stand, divided we fall". That adage is as true today as it was in 500 BC. As Christians we must go the extra mile - if necessary - to unite our people. That does not mean we have to accept rules or policies that are against our beliefs - but see if there is not another solution or idea with which we can live.

If you read this post before you vote - take a period of time and really think through the platforms and promises of each of the candidates...also ask God to lead you in the proper choice.

"GOD BLESS THE USA"

Yes, I managed to drag myself out to vote this morning. Thank goodness, I didn't have to stand in line too long, I am still sick, but never know, my one little vote could make a difference! Giggle, and by reading your post, I think we voted for the same one!!!!

I went out and voted early. I feel our job now is to pray for our new president...whoever wins, we need to pray and support him
