I feel sick. I worked all day yesterday (election day), first at the Republican HQ, then at the Justice Building counting absentee ballots. Sitting in the room awaiting being sworn in, they asked everyone's party affiliation since each team was supposed to include 1 R & 1 D. Out of 33 people, there were 30 Dems and 3 Republicans. Many Christians talk about being conservative. Where's the action behind the words?
I was nearly in tears watching the election results last night. I just don't understand how any Christian can look at the social issues (especially abortion & gay marriage) and see the direction that our country is headed, and still vote Democrat. As this has been stewing in my mind all day, I realize that I'm not upset with the passionate Democrats. At least they're standing up for what they believe in (albeit wrong), at least they're DOING something! I'm mad as fire at the apathetic Republicans who didn't get out and vote! I heard, "Well, it was raining, so we didn't go." and "Well, it's not a Presidential election, so it's no big deal." The ignorance just infuriates me! Click HERE to meet the person who will now be our Speaker of the House. She definitely does NOT represent my idea of a positive change for our country! God Bless America ... we need it now more than ever. |

I also wanted to encourage you with a column written by Paul Proctor. He is often abrasive and I don't always agree with him, but I think he is right on in this article. It helps put everything in perspective.
