As you all know my blog is usually about family or personal events that are worthy of note. Since I have this forum I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the election. Yes this will be a serious blog, and one I hope you continue reading.
I am very disappointed in the American people, this morning after the election. You did vote in a change but I predict it is one that you never imagined would happen. This election started meaning more to me than Republican or Democrat... taxes and war, it was about moral and Biblical issues. I watched the news the morning of election day. There was a discussion on TV, talking about how people are ignoring moral issues and voting to fix the economy. Yes times are tough! Doesn't everyone see that money comes and goes...? The moral obligations of this country have seem to have gone though. I want things to be fixed but at what costs. I too would like to see the war over... but does that mean the job is done?! I think that the rich should share their money with me but that is because I am selfish and unrealistic... like I am sure everyone does. I guess one factor I never thought I would see was the support of being unpatriotic. Not being proud of our country or our flag or our land. However these were NOT governing factors in my vote. My vote and stance is governed by God.
I don't believe everyone who states they are a Christian. I think we are in for change that the American people did not bank on. I think we will be friends with countries that we would have never thought would happen. I think we will be persecuted for our beliefs instead of feeling freedom. I FEEL like this is part of a larger plan just like everything else. I know it is really really early to say all this but I know I am not alone. A large majority of my Christian brothers and sisters feel the SAME way. Mind you we no longer go to the same church, socialize in the same circles... some just acquaintances now. I do find it funny that a whole group of people spread across this nation has all come to one realization together... "it is closer that we think".
One of the most frustrating things is I feel that the American public made their decisions based on what the canidates themselves said to the public. I am surprised that such an extreme liberal won the hearts of this country. If feel really looked into what he had voted or supports I think they would be shocked. His extreme views are not even shared in his party in the Senate. I just wanted to share my fear and disappointment. Yet like some many e-mails said... this does not change God. He still saves! He still loves ALL! He still guides my life and hopefully yours as well! Thank you for reading.

Nicely written. This election didn't get passed God; He's still in control.
It's hard to not be disapointed, I feel the same way.
when schwartzenegger was running for governor and so many christians were so happy to vote for him saying "california's problems are fiscal problems and arnold is a fiscal conservative and he will fix that". as i said then, no if california has fiscal problems, they had spiritual problems first that led to fiscal problems. has arnold fixed the california economy? no! but he has spiritually, and scripturally taken us further down the cesspool. obama cannot fix our fiscal problems. remember the slur he made about people in pennsylvania "backward people clinging to their Bibles and guns", the two things this country was founded on. he will change our country, that's a fact, but hang on for the wild ride. the hard side of me thinks "i can't wait til these people get what they asked for", but i don't want the people i love or the country i love to fall under this judgement. but as the Bible says "God sets up kings and brings them down". He is still in control. as the preacher said on sunday "this election will not change anything for the christian GOD is still in control and HIS word is still Supreme". now i just have to keep repeating that to myself, over and over.
