Tomorrow is a Big Day for our Country

Today I want to spend some time thinking about tomorrows elections. I would like to share what my dream is for this country, without getting to political. I am going to do it in the format of a top ten list. I will preface my top ten lists with this statement:

I want to live in a country that . . .

10. can remain unified despite differences of opinion.

9. provides an environment where people are challenged and free to live out their
dreams.

8. does not enable people to sit back without contributing to the country, but
encourages people to be givers rather than takers.

7. is good stewards of it's finances. (Cut out wasteful spending. Using what money
that is received through taxes wisely and never driven by personal incentives).

6. is a good steward of the environment, taking care of what God has given us to
manage.

5. supports God's view of marriage. (That it is between a man and a woman).

4. protects and defends the sanctity of life. (Both for the unborn and those who
are dying throughout our world from poverty and a lack of education).

3. cherishes the freedom we have in this great country.

2. believes in absolute truth.

1. sees the phrase "In God we Trust" as more than a slogan, but a way of life.

Tomorrow is a big day. Use your right to vote. Put aside your political preferences and vote based on your core values. Put together your own list of core values, what is non-negotiable. Take an honest look at all the candidates you get to cast a vote for and vote based on your core values, not your political affiliation.

Go Vote tomorrow!
