I didn't know those two were mutally exclusive.'<BR/><BR/>And I totally agree with you about people freaking out because you voted for Obama- the facebook statuses were ruthless!<BR/><BR/>PS- Super glad your vote counted too :) :) :)jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01366539877447396775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31371037.post-32425867412740334952008-11-17T12:19:00.000-06:002008-11-17T12:19:00.000-06:00Word!

If they don't know what this means, send them packing home to learn a bit of basic history about their faith :)<BR/><BR/>Meantime, keep enjoying the moment.

I am usually pretty verbal about political issues, but this year, I laid back and watched (I did vote!), trying to pursue relationships with people instead of opportunities for each of us to pass judgment. It's hard though, because these issues are important, too, to all of us, and they'll impact us for generations. However, we ALL have to trust that God is bigger than any presidential choice we make, and that God will do whatever He wants done in our country.<BR/>A lot of believers are at odds this election, and it is sad. I think it will all simmer down in a month or so, and I do hope that, regardless of who voted for whom, Believers will trust God and submit to the leadership that God has given them.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313973295018458284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31371037.post-15071454940664158912008-11-13T14:39:00.000-06:002008-11-13T14:39:00.000-06:00Mel, I'm super happy that your vote counted, and I...Mel, I'm super happy that your vote counted, and I absolutely support you following your convictions.<BR/><BR/>Kudos, and thanks for doing your part to be a good citizen!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973882638924385584noreply@blogger.com
