something new today

a new president will be elected today. there is certainly a lot of excitement around all of this, as most feel that any change will be a good change. there is also a lot of fear, causing nervous excitement as people will constantly look at maps to see them change blue or red. things are going to change today.

and as you watch, remember that whoever gets elected today will not only mean all the good possibilities of that candidate's promises, but it will also mean the fate of thousands if not millions of lives. and the deaths of millions of lives. different lives for each candidate of course.

today is a very significant day. and like all very significant days i think we should respond not with blind excitement--but with reverence and gravity. and pray that God would forgive us.

...geez am i a downer or what?
