VOTE! 2008 Presidental Election

VOTE! Yes, if you are of the legal age to vote, you should! Why? Because this nation needs your support and help. I remember the first time I was able to vote. I was able to vote in the last election. How important I felt, but at the same time, what a responsibility too. I believe that this is one of the biggest and most important elections that our country has seen in a while. Why? Our country is going through an extremely difficult time. The person that wins, will change the direction and future of this nation. The candidates running.....that's a very difficult decision. Kevin and I have talked about it a lot. We have also prayed about it a lot. I believe that many people are going to vote based on the color of the candidates skin and their skin. Either they will vote for that person because they are a certain color, or not vote for that person because they are a certain color. But that's a very petty issue. At the state that the country and economy is currently in, we need someone in office with a relationship with Christ and a faith in God. Someone who will look to God for answers on how to run this country. Someone who won't be afraid to fall on their knees and ask God for guidance. At this current moment, neither Kevin nor myself know who we are going to vote for. But Tuesday morning, we will be at the polls ready to vote. Why vote? Why not have a say in who will run our country? Even if your pick doesn't win, you still need to vote. If you vote and your person doesn't win, then you can complain about it, but if you don't vote, then you don't have the right to complain about who wins and the poor job they are doing. Please go out and vote and please PRAY about who to vote for and pray through out the day about whoever is elected into office, that they will turn to God. However, no matter what the outcome will be, God is still on His throne, and will always be in charge and He knows the outcome already and He will be there no matter what to guide us and protect us in the next coming days and future. He will never be overturned or His time as the one in charge will never run out. What a comfort that is during something like this, to know that God is the one in charge over us.
