The election is happening as I type. All over the country, the mind of Americans is directed in one direction: "Who will lead us as the next president of the United States?"
?????
Are we frightened? Should we be?
Psalm 2:
Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing?
The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed: "Let us tear their fetters apart, And cast away their cords from us!"
He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.
Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury: "But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain."
"I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee.
'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Thy possession.
'Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.'"
Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the LORD with reverence, And rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
~~~~~
I will not be afraid. I will rejoice with trembling gladness over the omnipotence of our God!

Beautifully written, Grace! But the sad thing is... Now we know who will be our president for the next four years... Senator Obama.

I'm still scared.
But this post is very encouraging. God's in control of everything, so I don't have to worry about it.
(Of course, now this makes two things I'm afraid of. A Barak Obama Administration and Falling in Love. :-P )

WHAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe wrote a song for Concert Choir! What a relief we're going to buy the CD!!
You know, I really miss that guy. You can tell him I said so. He probably won't believe I said it. :-P
@ Christina H.: I'm seriously not afraid of anything (to my current knowlege) except one (and now two). I am mortally terrified of my falling in love. It scares the pants off of me. I can handle a lot of unkowns, but that one's the scariest. Seriously.
@ Grace: I'd love to get a call on Sunday! From you too Christina! I haven't talked to either of you for a long while. :-)
Grace is a 17 year old girl who is striving to follow God's leading, but would be constantly embracing failure if God didn't just sweep her off her feet, sometimes against her will. Music is her first love and expertise: specifically voice, but also piano. She has been trained classically, which is a good thing, most of the time, except when she wants to sing pop style... and can't. Her favorite genres of music are Celtic, Scottish and Irish folk songs/jigs, film music, and broadway show tunes. Grace also takes pleasure in the beautiful diversions of writing poetry, Ultimate Frisbee, sketching, dancing in the rain, Irish Step Dancing, speech and debate tournaments, scrapbooking, acting, reading, photography, standing outside at night while the wind whips the trees every which way, and talking about herself in the third person.
