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.

Hey Jennie! I love your blog...especially your entry about the elections! If you don't mind, I'm going to add you to my blog list (mine is renethemom.blogspot.com). Jennifer is the one who inspired me to so this and it is kind of fun. Where do you work? I work at the Minor Med @ Hacks & Winchester. I can totally understand about kicking kids & crazy parents! Have a good day...

Hey, girl! Thanks for your sweet comment on facebook the other night...I am feeling sooooo much better this morning! Yesterday a little, today a lot! Praise God! You know the best thing about our country? Freedom of speech and opinions!!! I have ALWAYS said...if you vote, you have the right to talk about it. If you don't vote...shut up. Don't you agree? Regardless of who you vote for...you're voting, and that is what matters. And anyway...I love you for you, NOT for your political standpoint. I hope your week is blessed! Lots of love...
