Hey!
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.
If you voted for McCain/Palin:
  • 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.
All of us:
  • 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.
One more thing: Happy Thanksgiving! Travel safely, enjoy your family, and if you go out to shop on "Black Friday", wear a crash helmet!
