Diane and I exercised a very special privilege the other day. We voted. We never take this responsibility lightly. It is one of the many things that make this great nation what it is, and we are proud to be North Carolinians and Americans. We respect and are thankful for those who are willing to serve in government in any capacity, from a local to a national office. It is a tough job.
Although I do believe that it is important that we participate in the process, I don't worry too much about the outcome. I believe that God will work all things out. As one old preacher said, "I've read the back of the Book. We win!"
Billy Graham stirred up some controversy the other day when he paid for an ad in the Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, and in other newspapers.
Dr. Graham's picture appears prominently in the ads, next to copy that reads,
"As I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my
last." It continues, "I believe it is vitally important that we cast
our ballots for candidates who base their decisions on biblical principles and
support the nation of Israel. I urge you to vote for those who protect the
sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man
and a woman. Vote for biblical values this November 6, and pray with me that
America will remain one nation under God."
At 94, I think Dr. Graham still has a handle on what God would have him say.
Have you voted yet?
