heavy heart

this election has been very overwhelming. at first i wasn't sure how i was going to vote. but then i came to a conclusion that i needed to pick one issue that is most important to me and vote accordingly. my issue is abortion. i voted republican to help save babies. we live in a fallen world which will only get worse as time goes on. not until we are at Home with the Lord will this sinfulness stop. i have been discouraged by the number of christian peers i have come to find out voted democrat and seemingly with no top priority for the importance of stopping abortion. i understand we will always disagree on issues. but as christians i feel very strongly that this is one that we need to stand united on. we need to be lights to a fallen world. we cannot allow watered-down thinking to get in the way of what scripture states and what we are called to do. i have no choice now about the coming leadership of this country. i do have a choice to pray. and i do have a choice to get involved somehow to help make a difference. and i do have a choice about my attitude.
