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.

Prayer is powerful. Very compassionate Daddy. The right thing is different to different people. You put that well. Like, I would say, eat cake and popcorn together, it's the right thing to do. Some people might think that is very wrong.
