Politik


Ohhh goodness. The debates are over. The Coldplay song above has been a favorite of mine for years, en lieu of the elections it brings me a meaning or voice of the song.

As America begins to vote, absentee, early or on election day, we are changing the future of our country. I'm not going to express who I'm voting for but rather make a suggestion that was made to me.

Pray about your vote. Pray for the country. And pray for the leaders. 

As always, we should be praying for the leadership of our community, state, and nation, we should also pray on what decision we should make. Don't just get fired up about who YOU think is best or who YOU want in office. Who will lead this country best.

This is a summary of a quote: As you walk in to vote [or in my case, prepare to vote absentee] be praying. Be praying as you are voting. Vote as a Christian. And as you leave, pray for the country. Pray for other voters. Whether you are republican, democrat, libertarian, independent, whatever you are, you are a Christian first.

That really hit me hard. Cause I have my opinions. And I have reasons to not vote for certain candidates. But who do I vote for as a Christian? I shall pray that in the coming days this be revealed as I prepare to fill out my absentee ballot.

As a first time voter, this whole voting thing and being part of the country thing is a pretty cool thing.

'Merica!
