I stood in line 2 hours and all I got was a muddy shoe....


I'd love to see that t-shirt! I had to walk through some mud puddles to reach the end of my GINORMOUS line at the polls yesterday, effectively stepping in one puddle that nearly stole my shoe. But I did not let it deter me! I was there to vote!  We all were! The section there is where I nearly lost my shoe..yikes!


So, it has been quite the time in America lately. Everyone and their brother, and the sister, and their cousin, and their neighbor's cousin's sister's aunt has had something to say about the election. I am both enamored and annoyed with America. Enamored that we actually got off our duffs and voted--but annoyed, because...well...I voted for the other guy. I have heard passionate discourses from both sides on why their candidate is the VERY BEST CHOICE AND IF YOU DON'T CHOOSE THEM THEN THE SKY MIGHT FALL AND KILLER TOMATOES FROM MARS WILL APPEAR....AND THEN WHERE WILL WE BE? Ha. I think we'll be in the place God wants us. I'm glad that most of my friends who supported the 'other guy'  with me and the ones that supported the winner are both broadcasting their trust in God and that He has this all under control. I look forward to the next four years and seeing what happens in America. No doubt that these are historic times, and I'm excited.  I pray that the sanctity of life will be upheld and that big brother stays out of my paycheck! 

So, thank you, America, and uh...fasten your seatbelts...I think it's going to be a bumpy ride!
