Our Privilege to Vote

I had the privilege to vote today. This election meant more to me than any other that I've voted in (and I vote in EVERY election, no matter how small). I thought more about the Proposals on this ballot than I ever have. I didn't necessarily go with first instinct or the common thought in my peer circle...I researched, I prayed and I voted with my heart.

I voted for the Presidential candidate that I think will best lead our country. I voted for a man who I know will make a difference in our nation as well as hopefully our world. I voted for a man that I think God led me to vote for...a man that I think will help our nation in this economic crisis, this nation of foreclosures, this nation with narrow-minded views, this nation not worrying enough about poverty and people who need hope.

My votes are (mostly) private, but I am proud of my votes. I am proud that I didn't look at just ONE issue (my biggest pet peeve with SO many people, but that's a whole different blog post that won't make me friends), but rather looked at the whole of the candidates and propositions and voted because I can. Because I get to.

Now...back to NBC to see what's happening. :)
