Just a note that I will be at WJLY in Ramsey all day Friday, so I may not be able to post a blog or update the prayer counting down to the election until Saturday. I will be helping with WJLY’s annual Share-a-thon attempting to raise their operating budget for 2009. Keep us in prayer!
Well, we’ve now experienced the final presidential debate and it’s just 19 days to the election. According to all reports, there are many who are still undecided and even more who fervently flaunt the attributes of their candidate. One thing is for sure; this will be a historic election. Either the oldest man to ever run for the office will be elected along with the first female vice-president, or the first man of color will become our nation’s president. If that weren’t enough hype to distract us, add other crisis’s like the war, the economy, social security and insurance costs to the political pot. When you do, it becomes apparent that no one man (or party) is going to fix all these problems. Fact is, both the candidates bring some good qualities to the table, but we need to remember that both are imperfect humans. Neither of these men will accomplish much without the support of Congress and each is capable of being corrupted; in short, neither of these men are the Savior. Unfortunately, to hear some tout their qualities, one would think they are Jesus incarnate! Reminds me of Proverbs 14:12: “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” Please pray for both of the candidates and for our country.

I'm confused! Did you not mean, these men are NOT the Savior? I know neither of them are my Savior but they both and this country are in my prayers!
