Are you ready for the election?

Whether you are Democrat or Republican, we're all Americans and in this country we are governed by a democratic society—the people's choice. Tomorrow is a historic day for this country, where we as citizens elect a new leader that will take this country forward or backward for the next 4 years.

As an African-American female I know that I am where I am because of others who have taken abuse for the color of their skin or their sex. Their sacrifice has allowed me to be able to vote as a female and as an African-American. No one needs to know who you vote for, just do it in good conscience.

The Bible authorized government positions in Romans 13;1-2: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Even our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, talked briefly about giving the government what's due them in the four Gospels,  ". . . render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's' . . .."

So I hope everyone exercises their right to vote tomorrow and know that whoever takes office the Lord is Still In Control!
