Your responsibility

vote2

I just voted.

I always do.  If you ever hear that I did not vote, take my temperature, there will definitely be something wrong with me.

The poll workers are all very competent.

They act professionally. They follow procedure. They are eager and patriotic in their desire to serve.

Once a poll worker said to me when I was about to leave, "I attended a church the other night. They took the time to tell us who the Christians were and to vote for them."

I am familiar with churches who tell their congregants how to vote for the candidates they think will enact legislation which agrees with their theology. I had a couple come to my church in Fort Thomas, because their church had begun doing just this — telling them how to vote.

Someone came by the other day with "Christian" voter's "guides" hoping we would hand them out to you.

I threw them in the trash.

You are intelligent enough to make up your own mind when you step into a polling booth.

My response to the man who told me that his church had identified the Christians in the race was this: "I thought there were Christians running who represent both parties."

Let's never get to the place where we actually believe that one party is "Christian" and the other is not.

It is not true.

Moving to the deeper places,
