GO VOTE!

I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings [and Presidents!] and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.  1 Timothy 2:1-4

GO VOTE!! Vote your conscience. Vote your commitments. Vote righteously! And above all, know that although we have the privilege and responsibility of electing our country's leaders and direction, in the end, our hope is in the Lord!

No matter if your "guy (or gal)" is elected or not; if your proposition passes or fails, God is the One we turn to first, foremost, and with utter confidence and assurance that He is faithful to all of His Promises! So, let's not allow the election results to cause divisiveness, contentiousness, or hopelessness to seep into to our minds, hearts, relationships, or communities. Let's use the results as the way to live and guide each other into God's Plans and Purposes. And let's remember to encourage each other to pray for our Leaders, our Country, and our voice as Americans.

Go VOTE -- (and don't forget that Starbucks is offering a free coffee to those who cast their ballot today!)
