Why I choose.....

I usually reserve this blog page as a brag page on my family..
But... today I have been challenged by a friend to express who & why I am voting for my candidate of choice.

What is said below is said in a spirit of love, gentleness and kindness..since written words can't often express the intent of the writer..

First let me say this before I expound on the who & why: As a Christian I have certain obligations that come from the authority of the scriptures. And believe that the role of faith in selecting a candidate is a God given privledge and is a very important issue. As a Christian I believe that Jesus Christ died so that I can have eternal life and therefore my obligation is to Him and His church, first.

My priorities are to the God of the Bible.... Three issues I will always stand by are faith, life issues and the protection of the institution of marriage. I will not vote for a candidate that does not share my same views on these three issues.

To list a few..I also believe in the well-being, for our men and women in the armed forces & in uniform in our cities, for better jobs, better health care for seniors & children, for education, energy independence and for government reform. That is why I believe that McLain/Palin will get my vote, they together are more able to achieve those goals.

In the end I know the Lord's will..will be done!

and Rachel came tumbling after...

(to the tune of Jack & Jill)
Rachel my Rachel went up the bleachers to fetch a bag for a friend
she turned around and trip on to the ground and broke her little elbow!

Actually, she was at the football game and did get a bag for a friend and when she returned to her seat she tripped on another friends crutches and tumbled down the bleachers. Thankfully the only thing that was hurt was her arm. She broke the tip of her elbow! We go Tuesday to the ortho. dr. to determine the plan of action for the healing process. We'll keep ya posted!
