I'm not going to say much about politics here. We're having a quiet night in. John is studying for his test on Friday, while I'm purposefully not watching the news, because I get angry with the media and I'm pretty sure it's not healthy to get as worked up about it as I do. We had the news on briefly, but when I figured out that the news was predicting states based on less than one percent of the votes in each state? Oh, that made me mad! Just give us the news - stop analyzing and discussing everything ad nauseum about all the possibilities that may or may not happen!
Now I'm getting upset again. Ugh.
John and I watched this video a week or so ago. And found it interesting, and actually agreed with several points made in the video.
I don't know if it's been made clear on this blog yet, but John and I are both relatively conservative, and attend a Baptist church. So, obviously, there are some things that we don't agree with from this video.
Just as a warning, this video is NSFW, due to some language.
I don't know how the election will turn out, or who will be president in a few months. Yes, it's important. And yes, I'm hoping it's a particular candidate. But if the person I voted for loses? It's not the end of the world. God is still in control.
And God tells us in the Bible to pray for our nation's leaders. He told the Christians in Rome to pray for their leaders - even the ones who were persecuting the church and trying to stomp out the church. So, no matter who wins this election, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to respect the office of President, (even if I don't agree with the person in that office) and pray for them.
I don't tell people who I vote for. I take full advantage of my constitutional right to secret ballots. So this is about as political as I get outside my own private conversations with John.
I hope you voted today.
