God bless America! ....please

I've intentionally stayed away from writing anything about the election. It's not that I don't have anything to say- believe me, I have a LOT to say. And it certainly is not that I don't care. I always vote. Every primary, every issue, everything. I don't think I've ever cared as much about any election as I do about this one!

I am not an Obama fan. I don't agree with him on any issue. Not one. I AM thrilled that a black man has the possibility of becoming our next president.... but I really don't want it to be him. I understand why so many African-Americans, as well as many others, are excited. Who can blame them? Most of the black children I grew up with never dreamed that THEY could actually be our president. I mean... yea.... they may have said they'd like to be, and their parents may have told them they could be, but I doubt too many of them every believed they could be given the chance. I am an UNprejudice as they come, but I know that bigotry is alive & well in the U.S.

I just cannot wrap my mind around the fact that so many people vote for someone because of their skin color. And, if it was Hilary that was running, many woman would vote for her JUST because she carried that illusive "X" chromosome.

Just as infuriating, are the people who allow themselves to be brainwashed into voting along party lines for no other reason than they 'belong' to that party. Really? How 'bout you give that party headquarters a call and tell them you'd like your membership dues refunded. It's not a club, folks! You don't OWE them anything!

You don't need to vote for anyone because your company or union tells you you should! USE YOUR BRAIN PEOPLE!!!!!!! The internet is right here! If you are reading this, you can just as easily google the issues, or go to usavoter.com and LEARN something!!!! I take my right to vote very, very seriously. I learn about the judges. I actually READ the plans our candidates put out there. Is it easy? Absolutely not! But this is one of the most important decisions I must make. EVERY time I vote.

Yes, I voted for McCain/Palin. I know it's incredibly obvious (right?), but I didn't want anyone to think I intentionally left that part out and was just bashing Obama.

My body is tired and the tears are beginning to flow. Again.

I've been in prayer most of the day, and I'll be praying again as soon as I publish this post. I know that it is in God's hands now. I pray that He continues to bless us with the best country in the world. The ONLY country I want to live in. The country that I LOVE! I pray for God's blessings. That whatever happens, and whoever becomes our next leader- our next commander-in-chief- that we do not experience His wrath.

I pray for our country to truly be the land of the free:
Free to remain the country our forefathers fought for.
Free to enjoy the gains of our own hard work.
Free to practice religion without persecution.
Free to speak without fear of prosecution.
Free to keep marriage sacred.
Free to remain accountable for our own actions.
Free from terrorism.
Free from murder of the unborn.

I will pray today, tomorrow, and every day for these things.
God- HEAR MY PRAYER!
