I haven't blogged in awhile--sorry! I thought I'd share a few "random thoughts" about current events, particularly our recent election.
First of all:
If you voted for Obama/Biden:
- It's okay to be happy, but don't gloat!
- Don't go thinking that a new presidential administration will wave a magic wand and fix all of our problems overnight. There's a lot of work to be done, hard work, and many of our challenges will take a lot of time to deal with.
- Be just as discerning, even critical, as you would be toward any politician or administration. That's an important part of being an American, holding our government accountable.
- It's okay to be disappointed, but don't be bitter.
- In the interest of good citizenship, do what you can to support the new administration and our country, with your prayers as well as your criticisms.
- Pray for our new president, congress, the Senate, and all of those who serve at all levels of government. That's what God tells us to do, in 1 Timothy 2:1-4.
- Pray for our country. We're becoming more and more divided, and that's very bad. We must work and pray together to keep our nation great, strong and free.
- Pray for peace, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for all people and all nations.
