Okay, I was up at 6:25am and out of the house by 6:50am this morning to vote. I wanted to be there by 7am. When I arrived they had split the check-in lines from A-K and L-Z. Fortunately, my name is still in the L's so I got the shorter line. I was in and out by 7:55am. The people in the A-K line were waiting an extra 1/2 hour.
So, do your duty and get out and vote. It may take awhile but this will be an opportunity that God is giving you to meet your neighbors and show Him through how you handle waiting in long lines.
Now onto theories. A friend told me yesterday that if it was sunny on election day then the Republican's win and if it was raining the Democrats win. Well, it is sunny today. But... During the Pittsburgh Steelers/Washington Redskins game last night the announcers stated that if the Redskins win their final home game before the election then Republicans win and if they lose then the Democrats win. Guess what? They lost. (I tried really hard to root against my Steelers but just couldn't do it). GO STEELERS.
So, we will see which theory works. Actually, since God is in control of this entire thing it doesn't matter which theory "wins" he has it all planned out.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the right and duty to vote. Thank you for the freedoms and responsibility to make our voices heard. We ask that you will be with this election day. That you will keep everyone safe and help those who are standing in long lines to be calm and to establish friendships no matter what direction they are voting. Even right now, help someone who is voting based on your word to be a strong influence in a non-believers life. Amen.
God Bless,
Karen
