2008 Presidential Election

I just wanted to write a few words on the 2008 Presidential Election that just concluded...

I was/am a proud McCain/Palin supporter. My heart is heavy as I am not looking forward to 4 years with someone as liberal and (in my opinion) questionable as Barack Obama as our president.

As I debabted over the last few weeks on who I should vote for - it became clear to me...I can not/will not ever vote for a candidate that supports abortion. Whatever the economy may be - whatever the national debt may be...A child's life is only in one set of hands - God's...and His alone. If He wants the child to survive to term - it will. If He decides that His will be done by the death of the child (((notice I am saying "child" - NOT "fetus"))) - it will!!! It should be up to no one but Him!

I know several people that believe in the right to choose simply because "God will judge them when the time comes" or "I don't want to force my views on other people". That does not make it right!!! That's like saying that it's okay to murder someone now because God will take care of it later!?! That's what it is...murder. And what about "forcing your views on others"?? Isn't that what they are doing by voting pro-choice??

Yes - the economy might be better in the next 4 years...yes, Obama might be more well spoken than President Bush - I don't care about that. I care about the millions of children that are aborted every year - just because the mothers want the right to choose - just because many women want to have pre-marital and extra-marital sex without any consequences. It's just wrong.

When are we going to fight for those that have no voice?? When are we going to stand up for those who can't speak for themselves?? If I don't fight for them - who will?

I am not ashamed to say these things and feel this way. This is what I would tell anyone who asks me what my position is - or how I voted.

I am glad the election is over. I don't know if I could take any more of the slick talk and mud-slinging. I am worried about the future of our nation. I can only leave it up to my Lord, Jesus Christ, and trust that His will WILL be done. I trust HIM! And in that, I can rest easy.

Daniel 2: 20-21

20) Daniel said, "Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him. 21) "It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men of understanding.
