Tim and I went to vote when he got home from work around 5:30 p.m. Since it was such a hard fought presidential election and one that was near and dear to people in this area regarding the coal industry there were long lines. Long lines for Pound anyway. We probably waited forty five minutes. Normally the wait would have only been around five to ten minutes tops.
We came home and got comfortable and watched the election coverage all evening. Until we got sleepy. Since the time changed I haven't been able to stay up late. So, we went to bed without knowing the election results. Virginia hadn't even reported their results due to the high volume of folks voting. I checked as soon as I came in the family room this morning.
It wasn't the results I was hoping for but I believe God is in control and I refuse to get sucked into the complaining, venting, hate spewing that I later read on facebook. I was more disappointed, disheartened and saddened over Christians' reactions than I was the election results.
The verse God brought to my mind was Hebrews 13:8
Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Glad He is!! :)
