For better or for worse, we are entering into a new day as a country. No matter what you think of Barack Obama or his policies, he is our President Elect. Whether you voted for or against him, he will hold the most powerful office in the world. We, as a country, will have a new leader in January. It is what it is.
So, where do we go from here? Well, we press on knowing that our God is on the throne. We face the future with hope and assurance that victory is our's. We trust and obey, confident that God's Word is efficient. We are told in scripture that God holds even the king's heart in His hand, and He turns it any which way He chooses. Our Lord reigns. And, ultimately His plan and purpose will be worked out.
In local news, as I type this, Yes on Prop 8 is leading 54% - 46%. That is a good sign. Prop 4, which is also very important and would mean notification to parents or guardians in the event of an underage pregnancy before an abortion can take place, is still split 50-50. I hope to awake in the morning and find that both of these propositions have passed.
It has been a crazy and wild night. The election in 2000 was similar, but as a whole, tonight has been unlike anything I've ever seen before. How did you spend the evening and what are some of your thoughts?
