prayers

  So, I just wanted to remind everyone to pray for the elections!...so much can be said about it...but, (my roommies especially), I know you are sick of all the commercials, and soon, they will be over for at least until another election!  But it is really important.  Unfortunately, we have really let our society slip.  It's sad that they actually have to vote on things that should never even be questioned.  Such as, in CA, they are voting on whether or not to keep same-sex marriage.  In CO (I think that is the correct state?), they are voting on whether or not a baby is a person from conception.  The saddest thing of all to me is that we don't even look at these things as the most important.  We look more towards other things., such as MONEY!  That is always the biggest issue- whether it's the economy, taxes, or whatever else, it comes down to money.  And wow.  THat is scary.  Honestly, I was more upset when I found out that my dad could lose his job if Obama is elected because Obama wants to get rid of all coal-using energy producing factories than because Obama has mixed-up morals (though I am not saying that his opponenets NECESSARILY do either).  And that is the state of society.  We are so stupid!  And I am so sorry that I personally haven't been better about it, let alone the church in the world!  Things are totally a mess!  I am sorry that I have become so selfish and interested in getting what I want that I have not stopped to tell a friend about the blessings that I had had in my life when I accepted Jesus!  I realize that the times when I am unsatisfied with my life, I am the furthest from God!  We really need to break this habbit, and although, a good president always helps (but no one is perfect!), God can work no matter who on Earth is in charge!  So praise Him for that!
