I'm a Better Blog Reader than Writer

I love reading your blogs! In my mind, I have made many new friends and I know you, but you don't know me. I am a much better blog reader than a blog writer. I have always loved to read, so that stands to reason. It doesn't matter that no one is reading this blog, I am going to make an effort to document the things that I feel.





Today is Election Day. In this country we are quite priviledged to be allowed to vote and elect our leaders. Whether we agree or not with the outcome, we will have a peaceable exchanging of the offices. Look around the world and see how many countries do not have that. I'm feeling quite emotional right now thinking about what a great and blessed country we live in. The election has been ugly, but hopefully those memories will fade and we will try to be a "united" nation of individual states. It's going to be hard because right now we are so divided in our views of whom should be our president. I woke up in the middle of the night and I prayed and prayed for God to lead us forward and to soften people's hearts toward their enemies. That's a dramatic word, enemies, but it sounded so Biblical, I used it. But we as Christians need to be reminded that Satan is our enemy, not our fellow Americans.



I have used my first tool, my vote, and I will continue to use my strongest tool, Prayer, for a peaceful and democratic America where no one is hungry and all children are loved! A nation that others will look up to for inspiration rather than a nation that others look to with hatred and jealousy. Just my feelings.
