Well, it is Saturday, the weekend before this very important election between Barak Obama and John McCain. I believe both men have fought very hard for this election. Both sides have done their best to campaign for their thoughts, their party and their causes. Who will be president?

Before becoming a Democrat a few years ago, I have delved into the political process on a local level. I was actively involved in politics as a Republican. I left the Republican party because antics of those in it. The Repuplicans need better leadership. I was also so sick of hearing the rederick of some right-winged conservatives. They claim we need to bring our country back to the way it used to be. They only way that will happen is if these right-winged Conservatives pray for our country. How many of them actually do? It is God's responsiblity to bring that kind of change.

With all that said, I am a conservative. But, I have come to a place in my life to let others believe what they want to believe. You and I might not agree but we have to "agree to disagree". We need to come together as a country and work on issues that will help others in need. With the financial crisis going on, I do not believe it is judgement from God, but I believe it is a wake up call for our country to wake up and help each other.

We need to pray for our country for more than just once a year in May. We need to be on our knees begging God to help us with our attitudes toward each other, how we spend our money, the leaders who make decisions, and above all, who will lead us into the millennium. We are only 8 years into it. I believe we have gone in the wrong direction. I hope with change in Washington, D.C, that it will bring us back to believing in our country and those in it. Most of the world does not.

I hope that with the Presidential prayer team who has supported president Bush with prayer will do the same for the next president, I hope will be President Barak Obama. Whoever wins on election day it is extremely important to vote. Don't stand on the side lines and just wait for something to happen. I cannot believe when I hear how some people don't care to vote. that is a shame. This is an important election and your voice needs to be heard.
