What Is This Day We Live In?

You know sometimes I honestly do not think that I recognize the world I live in. At my young age, I am starting to feel very old and in that bracket of one-of-a-very-few. We recently just came through our latest elections. I will admit that I felt very important and full of hope as I walked over to my polling location. I felt like a real American---doing my part, enjoying my freedom of stating my opinion. I have been a little behind on news lately, but felt somewhat prepared to vote for a bright future.

As I read the headlines the next day, my heart sank a little at the results. Not exactly my choice of president had one. I mean, McCain wasn't exactly the answer, but my sister was right, the socialism offered by Obama is not the answer either. Yet so many people---including CHRISTIANS---voted for this man---who supports values and principles that the Bible clearly defines as sin. Again, not that McCain was perfect, but he at least was headed in more of a, well, better direction. As I read reactions around the world of Obama's success, I felt a bit of apprehension as it all points toward hopes of the one-world government that the Bible talks about in the end times.

Yet my heart did not lack hope. For God is still on the throne. I did my part on November 4, God will have to do the rest. He can use even this man. I will just keep praying and plugging!

But I must say, what is wrong with our world. I am amazed at people's reasoning for voting---so shallow---looks, race, gender, women's rights, and get this one, better football games played. Now Come ON! What happened to voting for America's best interest. For principle. For Biblical Grounding as desired by our Forefathers. For freedom!

Wow, have we really come that far down...............?
