and what about these elections? eh?

I am watching in awe as these candidates both male and female, black and white (and it feels good to say that) vie for attention, votes, handshakes, and microphones.  One more campaign, one more speech, one more lie or twist of the truth, or slur on another. I am watching thinking about these people as the next leaders of the country that I live in, the country that millions have died for, the country that people daily pledge their allegiance to and I am aching inside to cry out STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF.  The whole show makes me cringe inside with remorse and anti-politicalism....Is that a word?  I am not sorry for the way I feel.  I read in Luke 6:21 this morning some words that comfort me. "Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven' for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep Woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as y would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love the them which love you, what thenk have ye? for sinners also love those that love them And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye?.......Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?"

My sentiments exactly..... So I choose to follow the one who will lead me to the eternal riches and and glory and fame that I so desire. The one who has promised and always keeps his promises. He has never failed me, never cheated on me, never abused me, never lied to me, never cursed me, and never will. He loves me unconditionally even though I continue to fail him and mess up every single day.  He forgives me over and over and comforts me in my sorrow and my pain , even though I bring much of it on myself.  He NEVER QUESTIONS WHY HE LOVES ME >>>HE JUST DOES...for this he has my vote and so much more..For this I will follow him as he leads this nation and this world...for this I will follow him as he leads me..........much love...C.
