It just makes sense. Whether the person you voted for makes it to office or not, whoever is in office will be making decisions that affect YOU!! Pray and ask God to give that person wisdom and a compassionate heart. Whether you like him or not, what he does or does NOT do will affect you. The Bible also tells us that God allows those in authority to be there - to fulfill HIS purpose. The Bible admonishes us to pray for those in authority over us. It just makes sense.

Do it out of pride for our nation, and out of respect for all who proudly serve(d) our country so that we all may enjoy the freedom that we have.

I love your blog and now I love it even more-I respect people who look at both ends of the spectrum when it comes to politics and don't single out one candidate. I do believe that everyone can believe what they want, but I hate it when they post it all over their blog! Thanks for the tips.

But it sure doesn't mean the election won't affect him or people around the world. Thank you for a post that says more than "everybody vote!". You are right about the media's influence of over/under confidence. Thank you! Well put! My husband cannot vote – he’s not a citizen.
