So I was wondering if I should go and vote this morning or not. Almost always in the past I have eventually done it, only one time since I was 18 have I skipped voting, that was in an "off year election" and even then I felt guilt over it.
So I wondered if I should vote. Then I thought, "I should pray about it!"
So I began to pray, "O God in Heaven, I come before you this morning and ask your guidance…"
And that was as far as I got as the answer seemed to me to be both swift and clear, that I ought to do what I can, no matter how little it is, to influence the course of my nation, state and city to the good, and prayerfully consider each issue, and each candidate, and then vote as best I can, trusting the Lord to accomplish his sovereign will.
So be it.

It is given to us to vote. Even if you vote for Baldwin. :)
