Positive Post Tuesday

Well, today is Tuesday and as most of you know it’s also voting day.  Quite honestly I’m about ready to be done hearing about the election but I am interested in what’s going to happen.  I have a feeling I know what is going to happen, but I’m curious to see how this election plays out.  Now, here’s the thing.  I don’t really have a ton of “personal passion” behind this election, but I do realize it’s historical affect on our country.  Not because of what each particular President will do but because of who they are.  Today America will be electing either it’s first African-American President, or electing it’s oldest President in history and first woman Vice President.  History will be made today, and I will have no part of it.

Now, I have to be honest with myself and all of you and tell you that I really have to try hard to be interested in this election.  I have forced myself to pay attention, forced myself to care.  See, I’m just not that political.  To me it’s like arguing over music taste.  You will never get the other person to see your side, and even if you can, pride will step in the way and no one will admit they were wrong.  Maybe it’s apathetic, maybe it’s me being a bad American, but I’ve had a hard time caring.

Now, with all that being said, I will say this.  I understand the great freedom that we have.  I understand that we live in the best country in the world and I don’t take that for granted at all.  I realize my freedom to do what I want for a living, believe what I want to believe, say what I want to say and I love that.  I love the ability to vote or not vote, I love the fact that I can turn on the news in my own home on a TV that I am able to afford.  There are a million things that I love about the freedom of this country, but it’s hard for me to be political.  History will be made today and regardless of the outcome we, as Christians, know the end of the story.  We know who’s in control and we know who has our best interests in mind… American or not.

Welcome to Tuesday.  You know what to do.  Write something nice then come back here and fill out the box below. Ready? Go.

Be Honest

Alright, time to be a little honest.  I know this might cause a little bit of a fight and might make people mad at me or those who comment, but I think it could be an interesting discussion.  Here goes.

Who’s planning on not voting?

And maybe a second question that will be followed up in the comments.  Who’s brave enough to say they aren’t voting?

Ready?  Go.
