Do the right thing

There's been a lot of talk about why the Democrats lost all those seats in the Senate and the House on Tuesday.  And, then there's the talk about why some of the Democrats that should have lost their seats, well didn't.  It's simple.  The ones that lost didn't do the right thing - according to the people they represented.  And, the ones that some people think should have lost, you know, Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer, well, they did what the people that they represented wanted, even if you and I didn't think they had done the "right" thing.  You see, redistricting plays a huge role in elections, and the districts that elected Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Barbara Boxer, are chocked full of the farthest left progressives in the country, so you see, Harry, Nancy, and Barbara, well, they did what their constituents wanted, and those that left the House and Senate, well, they just lived in the wrong districts.  To "do the right thing" means different things to different people, especially in politics.  But when I think about what it takes to do the right thing, my mind always leans to what my heart says, and my heart thinks about the Bible.  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, it says.  I bet "Herself" is thinking about that tonight, too, because I really do think she is a good person that got to running around with the wrong people, and we had to hang her.  (For the two people outside of my family that read this blog, it's a movie reference, and is not meant to be taken literally.)  I think I will pray for Stephanie tonight.  I would want her to pray for me.

God Blessed America today

As I sit and listen to "Herself" say "May God bless all of us" at the end of her concession speech, I realize that God has blessed America today.  Now, at a minimum, we have balance, and one of the key tenets of the Bible is everything in moderation.  Maybe now the elected really will go to work, stop spending, restore fiscal sanity, and turn the page on getting people to work.  The message has been sent that Washington is broken, and has just about broken the country.  But we know it can be fixed.  We have been given another chance.  You know God once said that He would save the world if one good person could be found.  And He did.  God gives second chances, and it's incumbent upon us all to work hard to make Him proud that He does.  I love America, and Americans, all Americans.  All I am saying is give peace a chance.  Now I'm rambling.  Okay I was rambling all the way through, but I think I got the message.  Quit rambling and get back to work.  That's the only way we can make Him proud.  God Blessed America  today.
