my country, 'tis of (Thee)

(My first official ballot and first presidential election.)

Politics is my chamomile tea. Not something I partake or enjoy regularly.

PJ called me this morning about the election. "Oh, that's today? Maybe I should vote..."

I don't indulge in bipartisan, or partisan for that matter, politics. I'm tired of too many people saying and thinking they're right. You all are WRONG!

Joking aside, I will concede this much. The uninformed and/or undecided voters are dangerous things.

There will always be differences. This, I know, is an indisputable fact. There will always be people thinking that someone else should be in charge. Whatever the case, one should remember Paul wrote briefly on the oppressive Roman government in Romans 13. Those words should be heeded.

BUT, what about all the writings and debates about separation of church and state, the tyranny of theocracy, and the writings of Enlightenment philosophers?

I'm not writing to discredit them. Please take such wisdom into consideration but also remember that there is greater wisdom from Someone and that Someone has more control of each situation. He works it all out in the end.

Remember what our founding fathers did when they started a session of Congress...

Pray.
