Joyful Notes

One of the greatest privileges we have as American citizens is having a say in who our leaders are, both nationally and locally.  I have such a great feeling of pride & citizenship on election day as I go into the voting booth to cast my ballot.  I love taking my daughter along with me and explaining the importance of our outing that day.  I am not one to get involved in political arguments and debate, but I am proud to say that I am a conservative Republican.  I know that, overall, the things republican stand for are much more in line with my biblical and moral beliefs than are those of democrats or of any other party.  However, I am not always good at putting into words my fervor toward the importance of voting.  My good friend Brian McCrorie is, though, and I would encourage EVERYONE to go read this honest, no-nonsense post on his blog on why we should vote in the upcoming elections.  We DO make a difference…please don’t shirk this responsibility, as we have too much to lose by not participating!  And please go read Brian’s post!
