URGENT REMINDER...

Please remember to vote!

Important Reminder!

Voting
by Bernard Howe

Voting is our given right,
which men have died to keep.
Voting shows our peoples might,
so our country won't get into deep.

But there are those who never vote,
and constantly seem to complain.
Patriotism they don't promote,
and their rights they choose to abstain.

Every vote does really count,
to let our officials know.
For their actions they must account,
or their ratings will never grow.

So come next election time,
go cast your vote with pride.
Voting doesn't cost a dime,
plus the out come you help decide.


So please, every one remember to vote tomorrow!

Time out for a political message from our sponsor…

OK – I don’t really have a sponsor, but this is a political message. So any who are not of the conservative persuasion might want to check back on another post.

I got a "notification" on Facebook from my Aunt Dena the other day asking to participate in something -- to protest, peacefully, the presidents stand on abortion. Or Voluntary Population Planning, as he puts it.

I believe we should respect the office of president and support him in his difficult job. But I don’t think that means we should sit idly by while things happen we don’t approve of.

So someone had a great idea of the RED ENVELOPE PROJECT. I hadn’t ever heard of it before, but I really like the idea. A simple, peaceful way to send a message.

Here is the plan:
Get red envelopes or postcards and mail them to the White House, When: March 31st, 2009
You can buy red envelope at Kinkos, or at party supply stores.

On the front, address it to:
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington , D.C. 20500

On the back, write the following message:
"This envelope represents one child who died of an abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception."

We will mail the envelopes out March 31st, 2009. Put it in the mail, and send it.

Then forward this event to every one of your friends who you think would send one too. I wish we could send 50 million red envelopes, one for every child who died [in the U.S.] before having a chance to live. It may seem that those who believe abortion is wrong are in a minority. It may seem like we have no voice and it's shameful to even bring it up. Let us show our President and the world that the voices of those of us who do not believe abortion is acceptable are not silent and must be heard. Together we can change the heart of The President and save the lives of millions of children.

So I want to call on my blogging buddies, friends and family to join this protest. Remind every one to pray for this project to have an overwhelming effect on our president. Whether or not it works, I will feel better for trying.

Continue Your Prayers!

Today I am very sad for our country (though, proud that we have come so far as to have our first African American President). Actually to the level of discernment, ESPECIALLY among fellow CHRISTIANS.

I still have peace knowing that God is in control. I also know that with Americans praying for McCain & Obama to be elected, God could allow the majorities have what they want even if it's not the best thing for them at the moment (read in I Samuel 8:5-22, Israel asked Samuel for a "king" to rule over them. Even after the Lord told them how it would be, they still wanted one. So, the Lord gave them one...King Saul).

So, I'm thinking our new President-elect is our (the American people) "King Saul". So many were blinded by his celebrity status and his mesmerizing speeches, but didn't really listen to the words being said.

Now that President-elect Obama is our new president, he will have my prayers for his strength, his safety and his wisdom. We all need to pray for this great nation, remember that this country was founded on God. We must return to His Will for America.

You can find great comfort in God's Word. Grab your bible, read His Word and pray for his guidance. Here's some verses to get you started...


I Thessalonians 5:18
In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
~*~
Psalms 24:1
The earth is the LORD's,
and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
~*~
Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right
hand of my righteousness.
~*~
Psalms 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times:
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

We Did It!

Two more votes for McCain/Palin!

We got to our voting precinct at 8:56 AM, actually found a parking spot in the lot! Then waited! There were approximately 50 to 60 people in line outside. Once we got to the front doors of the building, the line divided into four (four precincts at one church - that was crazy busy). Two of the four individual precinct lines were still really long, probably another 50 to 60 people. Ours, 23AA was non existent. We were able to walk right up, show ID, sign "at the X" and then mark our paper ballots. After marking our ballots, we then put them into an electronic scanner. Ta-da, two more votes for McCain/Palin! Back in the car at 9:38 AM.

We even got free bottled water, along with our "I Made a Difference - So Can You - Vote" sticker!



Audrey got a sticker too! To bad that couldn't be another vote for McCain/Palin, LOL!

URGENT - REMEMBER...

Voting!

Today is being dubbed "Super Tuesday Jr.", by the media! The primary elections in Rhode Island, Vermont, Ohio and Texas are today!

I hope everyone in these states have taken the time to go out and vote! Voting is a privilege that this great nation allows. So many times I hear people complaining, only to find out that they have never voted... why complain if you didn't take the time to express your opinion and cast that vote for your choices!

So, the daughter, the hubby & I bundled up (yes, SW Ohio had 70 degree F weather yesterday and today was 37) and went to vote. We picked a perfect time to go (other than the light sprinkle of rain). There were no lines to sign in, no waiting for the voting booth and no waiting to scan your ballet!


We even got a bottle of water along with our "I made a difference" sticker!


Isn't that special, LOL!
