Election Day!

I am so thankful election day is here!  I cannot stand the political bashing...let's just pray it all goes smoothly, remember the 04 election?  It was weeks before we had an official President! 

I come from a very political family.  My grandfather and uncle were/are very active in the county and state governments.  My grandfather was commissioner for many years.  I vividly recall as a child the entire family gathered around the dining room table with the raido broadcating the election results. It was very exciting for me, even as a small child!  My uncle has served in several county positions and worked for 8 years at our state house appointed by Bill Clinton for the position. 

The past few weeks at our home has held some very adamant discussions.  It is hard when family members defianetly support opposite candidates!

I have always taken my children with me to vote, even when they were tiny babies. Of course, when they are tiny, I always had someone with an outstretched hand for them!  Living in a small town has many advantages...

One reason I take them with me is I think it is important for them to see the entire process.  They are allowed to go back with me and they stand quietly beside me while I perform my privlege of casting my vote.  They are both so excited to go today, they are anxious to one day be able to vote as well!

We will anxiously be watching results tonight!

I am very nervous about the outcome...I have to keep remindingmyself that is it all in God's hands.

Praying for America..

Blessings to you~ Laura

I will be glad to see the election be over too. No matter who wins we will pray about it.
I'm definately hoping for McCain though!

I also am glad it is over. So much will be over, and God will still be in charge.
