Election Day 2020 Unlike Any Other Year

Despite all the negativity leading up to it, Election Day is one of my favorite days of the year.

Seeing folks energetically lined up to do their civic duty.

Older couples, hand-in-hand.

Teens voting for the first time accompanied by their proud parents.

Moms with little kids... who excitedly put their "Future Voter" stickers on their jackets.

And the poll workers who have selflessly volunteered their time to help keep the process running smoothly.

The whole scene just gets me choked up every time.

Because voting is important.

And to see all those fine Americans taking it seriously... and showing up... fills me with pride for our country.

This year is a little different due to the pandemic.

Some states allowed early voting to help lessen crowds.

And many folks, like me, have already voted by mail.

I'm sure going to miss the energy of voting in person. I might drive by my polling place just to see the excitement.

If you haven't yet voted, I hope you'll be at your polling place today.

Thomas Jefferson once said, "We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate."

Choose to participate today. Vote.

Thank you so much for your message on voting. I am so proud to be an American and I love my country. I have ancestors who fought in every war since the Revolutionary War and I don’t want what they fought for to be in vain. We should each exercise our right to vote but then more importantly—we need to stand behind and support whomever wins. They would be our President and deserve the respect and honor of the title—President of the United States of America. This does not say the divide states but united!! Please remember this.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” – 2Chron.7:14…Eh?
