My long overdue blog...and it's about the election

I haven't blogged in about a month for one reason or another so this is a long time coming. My mind is on the election tonight so I would like to just post a few thoughts/rants:

1. After this blog I will not discuss the election with anyone except Travis and maybe a friend or two. You know who you are. I know we won't get into any arguments. Also, I would like to keep the friends I have and not make any enemies.

2. Do not even try to debate with me over the election or anything political from the past 16 years. You will not win.

3. If you bring up the election, try to start an argument with me, or make a wisecrack about whoever you think my candidate of choice is you will be greeted with a blank stare or funny look. This is your cue to change the subject immediately.

4. If you are going to make an ignorant comment and/or video based on a rumor you heard about a candidate at least make sure it is true by doing a little research first. This is true especially if you are a celebrity. Snopes.com is your friend!

5. Please research each candidate's views on the issues that are important to you. Don't assume you already know.

6. Whoever wins is NOT going to be our country's savior. I'm tired of people acting like the future president is going to suddenly rescue us from all of our troubles. These people are not God. He's the only one who can rescue us.

7. Pray, pray, pray. Ask God to help you make the right decision. Ask Him to put the right man that HE wants in this place of leadership. Whether things turn out how you wanted or not, pray for the person elected to have wisdom to make the difficult decisions ahead.

Back to the old grindstone

So after a fun-filled, rest-filled weekend (eating decadent food at Ruth's Chris for my dad's birthday, eating out with Travis and my sis-in-law, sleeping in late) I did not want to go back to work today. Who did?? Anyway, I thought it was going to be a pretty easy day nonetheless. Boy was I wrong. It was an unusually bad day. I won't go into the boring details but it basically stunk and I still have a headache from it. I'm glad it's a short week.

Tonight was the first night of a Bible study that I am attending. I was (and still am) very excited about it but before I got there I really did not feel like talking to anyone because my head was still in such a fog from work. Once I got there I was able to relax and I'm glad I didn't sit there totally quiet and turn into a little recluse. I have the feeling that some of the stuff that happened today at work was the enemy trying to get to me so I wouldn't want to attend tonight. I'm excited about what I'm going to learn and about getting to know everyone a little better.
