I Will Be Voting For…

Ok, so welcome to my shameless moment of click bait! You didn’t really think I would blog who I will be voting for, did you? Truly, I believe I have something more important to offer you today. As Election Day draws near, I want to blog a few thoughts to root you not in red or blue, not in a Donkey or Elephant, but in some bedrock truths that will serve you no matter what happens this November.

It is sad…. but, it is true.

Pills

So, you have been sick. Your sickness has been going on for quite some time now. You continue to “deal with it” hoping it all goes away. Well, it hasn’t and it has finally brought you to that point. You break down and go see the Doctor. You know it’s bad when YOU go to the doctor! As a Christian, you take God at His Word and you believe God can heal you. You ask others to join with you and pray. And….. people do pray!
