Election Day

I am beginning to think that April 15 is not the most dreaded day in the lives of millions of Americans...rather it is every day leading up to election day that is inundated with political ads and promises and disclaimers. It seems the mud-slinging this year has been the messier than any of my years as an eligible voter. I will be glad when the dust settles and we can move on to complaining about how the elected officials, whichever party they may represent, are not doing their jobs!

Seriously though, I have a bumper sticker in my office that says, "God's not a democrat or a republican!" Perhaps it is a good reminder that regardless of our view of wars, economy, education, and how best to achieve our desired end, the only hope for hearts and lives to be changed is not in politicians, amendments, or anything of the sort, it is only in the person and work of Jesus! God is not a champion of one political party, He is a champion of the risen savior who holds the keys to life! May we not forget that as we watch the results come in tonight in between our favorite Tuesday night television show (slight sarcasm)!
