In fact, my family are such staunch Democrats that they can't possibly imagine that I would vote for anyone but Obama. Of course, they're not believers either. <br /><br />Like you, I worry about the future for my daughter and my grands ... the national debt that they'll be carrying, whether they'll be able to retire, etc. <br /><br />It's such a sad, sad time ... but I know that regardless of who is in the Oval Office, I know Who is still in control.Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-25480448463277254822012-11-12T20:27:33.741-05:002012-11-12T20:27:33.741-05:00Oh Sandie, I think what you posted and the blogs y...Oh Sandie, I think what you posted and the blogs you referenced say what I feel very much. <br /><br />I am sad. <br /><br />I was glad to be distracted and busy working on last minute preps for that retreat because I could have written a blog post if my life depended on it. <br /><br />One tidbit: That true/false quiz was actually written by a pastor from Georgia named Wyman Richardson. He wrote it in 2008. When I got it in a "forward", I contacted him to ask if the attribution was correct, and he confirmed it. <br /><br />Fast forward two years: He ended up being on the short list for the pastor search committee I was on two years ago! Actually, he was our first choice but decided that he didn't want to leave his current church after all. I wish he had because I loved the way he thought. <br />I think his church is very blessed. <br /><br />Anyway, I loved that you had the courage to share your heart. I didn't. Sigh.

You have every reason to ...Hello dear sweet friend. You have every reason to be concerned... Fell the same in Australia with the way we are fast becoming a NO Christian faith. Yet beyond this all, I think of Jesus a how he came to earth as a sacrifice for us. At the end, it hurt him so much to go through what he had to.... Yet, this was the Fathers Will of things. So thinking on that I feel that no matter how any of us vote. Gods will, will alternately come to pass. The world will become worse, but they who remain faithful until the end, will be saved. I have eight grandchildren. So it is my job to instill a strong faith in them to survive beyond all of the trials and temptations. None of us know when the end will come...but it will still come at our death, which none of us know when. So, we have to always be ready.. Much love Crystal.. Oh, I am buying this book for my Grandchildren for Christmas, it helps them to know how very special they are.<br /> <br />http://www.amazon.com/Special-Anniversary-Limited-Lucados-Wemmicks/dp/1581348940/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352713514&sr=1-1&keywords=you+are+special<br /><br />much love Crystal xxSr Crystal Mary Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509227559164880311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-9645631412588201712012-11-12T02:46:14.959-05:002012-11-12T02:46:14.959-05:00Very well said Sandie.

I feel this will get so much more worse before it can get any better. <br /><br />Something has bothered so much in the past few days. Thursday I stopped at the store for some groceries. Some of the workers had a strike line going and the store had hired security. I felt like they had just slapped me in the face. There are so many of us out here looking for work...any work. And they have the gall to strike. I don't even care what they are striking over. They currently HAVE a job and are earning money for it. How dare they take that job for granted. I just can't shake the feeling of that stinging slap. So many people are worse off than I am.....I never thought we would be on food stamps. So ashamed of being on food stamps. I was definately not raised that way. You worked and payed your way. I am not lazy. I am not "working" the system. I am just trying to get my children and myself through this tough time. My children are older and we all have been searching for over a year for any kind of work. Writing this now is making me understand my feelings a bit better. I think I lost hope when I saw that picket line. Everyone seems interested in themselves and no one else. <br />Not sure how all this has turned out this way and definately do not know what to do the help this poor old world turn around. I do feel sorry for future generations. I feel a lot of pain will come there way.<br />I don't know maybe I'm just tired or something.<br />*hugs*debdebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610337579031329980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-5704467047858394042012-11-11T23:23:04.873-05:002012-11-11T23:23:04.873-05:00Very well said Sandie.

Our country is so quickly ...I know the feeling. Our country is so quickly 'no longer ' becoming our country, so we must ' trust.' God has promised salvation to those of us who believe, and I believe. The greatest gift is love. I believe that. My parents always took turns reciting Psalm 118:vs.24 each day to one another. One would start, the other would finish it. It has become a part of our lives, mine and my 8 siblings. We have lived by it and will continue to. "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."<br /><br />As far as the election, any election, things do need to change. I agree with everything you and your friend have expressed. I'm flabbergasted at the results.<br /><br />I also think that before one can even 'have' a vote, one should have made a contribution to our country. No more freebies. Have enough pride to become a citizen and take care of your own family by getting a job, for crying out loud.<br /><br />Our country is failing us. We deserve the freedoms of our forefathers, all who are citizens.<br />Our safe haven is faltering fast.<br /><br />Being a Senior isn't so much fun.<br /><br />BlessYourHeartSandie<br />PrayersForOurCountryDailyDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-42424020518055545682012-11-11T21:36:23.890-05:002012-11-11T21:36:23.890-05:00Dear Sandy, I'm so glad that both of us, let o...Dear Sandy, I'm so glad that both of us, let our thoughts/feelings out today, in our blogs. Yes, even though we both blog in what I call "Pretty Blog Land." Where most of us, really want to reads blogs which are about warm, cozy, happy, home-centered, etc. things.<br /><br />I do. I'll bet you do too. It's fine for all of us, to want our blog reading, to be a refuge. For reading a blog to be like walking into a friend's house, and having her give you a hug, and a cup of coffee. We all have this right.<br /><br />But sometimes, things happen which demand that we say-what-we-think. Regardless of whether, doing so, will make our blogs be less warm, soft, cozy, etc. We have the right to say such.<br /><br />And we can go right back to warm, cozy, soft, home-centered posting, the next day even! We have the right.<br /><br />You know I am not a person who has a religion. But it fine with me, if you do. If you have your religion and you are comforted thus, that's wonderful. Just please, don't cut me off... As not able to be truly conservative, because I don't have a religion. Please...<br /><br />You are feeling kind of alone, this week, because of the election. I am too. We can still hold hands, as it were, across cyber. The fact that you are close to your religion, and I am in a different place, need not, not, not, not, not, not separate us. <br /><br />Yes? Please, yes? And please yes, I ask of all your Dear Readers, as well. We love our Beloved Country, and we worry about its future. For our own families. That is our bond... <br /><br />Gentle hugs,<br />"Auntie"Auntie sezzzzzz...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16170232476926222740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-60402325600177330332012-11-11T20:59:20.089-05:002012-11-11T20:59:20.089-05:00Sandie,

I just can't get much enjoyment out of blogging right now or even reading blogs. I am trying to keep myself busy getting ready for the bonfire we are having at our house this weekend. Watching the news is so hard to do. I got so mad the day after the election when they told what Obama didn't tell what he is going to do come January. The news media helped him to win. I don't trust the news media either.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240864960032938754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-53298789835441257462012-11-11T20:29:54.343-05:002012-11-11T20:29:54.343-05:00Hi Friend, Your post made me cry AGAIN.

I have found it very hard to 'move on'... I know that God is in control --but I am still hurting.. <br /><br />Our country will NEVER be the same... We will have more and more government control of everything in our lives. Our healthcare will go down the drain... We'll be taxed more and more and more. And the 47% who depend on the govt --and who don't work and don't pay income tax will just grow and grow..... <br /><br />Hard-working people who want no part of the the Govt. are becoming more and more in the minority... I truly think we have LOST our precious country...<br /><br />I could go on and on and on--but will stop for now. If you didn't get my email, I will resend it.<br /><br />We need each other...

He will lie and borrow as he always has another four years. He even said that he wants know more to do with Canada. Way before he got voted in again for 4 years. He did not want to be involved with Canada trades. Our gas is higher then Americans. I am glad Romney will not be involved on the task of what President Obama has done. Then what was Obama telling Christie he would be there for the people disater of Sany.oh here is my private number he told Christie. Right.Christie fell for it. Where is he now Obama. When the people needed him after the disaster of Tornado Sandy . Where was he. Hooting it up with the Movie Stars. Having a party. How many days now are they not being helped these poor,poor people. Terible, terrible. Yes Obama has been chosen for 4 more years. America is in for a real bad time. I have a friend who has been to Greece and just got back.The people have bars on the windows. So crying and riot will come more to being. like one has said here in a comment. You think the University kids are going to be any better off as he said who voted for him. I mean the list goes on. <br />The only reason kids who voted him in. Promises such as better education, jobs. oh yes the pill given at the Universities to prevent sickness and lower schools. Plus abortion is okay. Most agree to that.<br />Have your fun and dont worry. Yes that is what he is saying obama. Dont call me.. Romney said NO to abortion, drugs, an unleagal immigrants. I heard a lady say. I like Obama he is in the times of today. Sexy and for sure changing. He is A women's kind of man. Really Lady?<br /><br />Sandie this man does not walk in my Christian believe neither. He is the one who we have to be aware of in sheeps clothing more so now for 4 years. I am with you and I agree.<br />Write what your heart of heart tells you with God leading as you said..<br /><br /> I say only The Lord Jesus Christ is our Leader. And we are to follow him only.<br /><br />I am with you for sure. <br /><br />Government controlled is here to stay.<br />Sit, stand, walk, Do as I say or else. Eat what I say. <br /><br />It is happening already. Look at the people from Sandy tornado. Do they have rights. No. Can they do anything. No. They have loss the free will . It is gone. It happend with New Orleans. Did they get help. How many years later. Oh really. Obama was in control. Figures.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-18675989516410825602012-11-11T18:47:48.658-05:002012-11-11T18:47:48.658-05:00I always avoid political discussions but no matter...I always avoid political discussions but no matter what someone's choice may be when it comes to an election I respect their right to their own opinion.
