A *Little* Political

I don't like to get political but I am so glad this election is almost over. I am tired of seeing all of the negative campaign ads and all the signs. As if placing fifteen signs all in a row on the interstate as I'm traveling 70mph will make me want to vote for that person.....

Thinking about tomorrow I know that God's hand will be in the election. Whoever wins will be God's will for this country. He already knows the outcome and already knows what the future holds for this country. I'm not going to get into a debate of which candidate has the best policies or agendas. But one very important and major issue that I take into account is which candidate is for life. Life meaning supporting life and not thinking someone has the right to take it away.

One thing I don't understand about this country is how if someone takes a pregnant woman and kills her and her baby as in the Scott Peterson case, that person goes to trial with the charges of killing the woman and killing the unborn baby she was carrying. But if someone walks into a clinic who is pregnant, and decides she doesn't want the baby for whatever reason makes the choice to terminate the pregnancy, it's that persons right. But that person and doctors and nurses involved aren't held accountable for their actions in killing the unborn child, but instead are covered and protected under some "right and choice" umbrella. I don't understand how people, lawmakers, whoever say that it's a baby when someone as in Scott Peterson kills it, but it's only a fetus if the mother chooses to terminate the pregnancy. I don't understand. My thoughts are getting away here.....

My point in this blog was just to say that I hope everyone voting is carefully and prayerfully voting for the candidate who chooses life. I know and understand that everyone has their own opinions, but for me this is one of the most important issues in this election. The economy, the war and all the other things will fall into place, but life is what keeps us alive.

I completely agree, with everything you said. Legalism is one of the main things dividing our country, not to mention myraids of other items. Boy, I'm sure glad I know Who's in control, aren't you?

I just resigned to not stress over everything. There's nothing I can do, but cast my vote and trust that God's got everything under control... regardless of the outcome.
