I confess that until this year, I tried to totally ignore politics because I felt like my one vote wouldn’t make a big difference anyways.

But this year I decided I should try to vote so I went online looking for interviews of the actual candidates as well as talking to friends and others and asking What they thought about the various candidates.

I want somebody who will support freedom of choice as well as uphold the constitution and religious freedom. Other people I talk to had other things that were important to them and so sometimes they want a different candidate than I.

After watching this documentary, I was finally able to make a choice. I found it insightful and helpful.

I don’t think either will be perfect because they’re human, but I am not worried because God is still God. So, I have cast my vote, but I will continue to pray that God‘s will is done. I was definitely praying as I was doing my researching and asking him to lead guide.

I can also suggest listening to these two programs:

Thanks for sharing, Kami! I'll check those videos out. Refusing to engage politics and and not voting may feel easy, but I believe it's like the proverbial ostrich sticking its head in the sand--avoiding never leads to rest (from what I know and have experienced). So glad you did the hard work of thinking and contributing to our democratic process.
