The Day before "The Day"

Tomorrow marks arguably the biggest presidential election day in our country's 232-year history. It will mark a historical election day, regardless of the result (either first black president or first female vice president).

The numbers show the unprecedented importance of this election. Record numbers of people have already voted. Voter enthusiasm has gotta be at an all-time high. Even my fellow college have been excited about this one for a while (granted a lot of that has unfortunately been directed to the campaign of Mr. Obama).

I encourage all of you who are 18 or older to go vote tomorrow, if you haven't already. Voting is one of the most fundamental rights we have as Americans, and one of the most powerful means of action as a citizen of a democracy/representative republic. Regardless of who you vote for, please vote. If you don't, you have no right to complain.

To be honest, tomorrow kinda scares me. Not saying that Obama's the Anti-Christ or anything, but I (along with his VP candidate, Joe Biden) feel that if he wins, our country will be closer to division and further decline, in all aspects. I'm honestly not a big McCain fan (tomorrow will be much more of a vote against Obama than for McCain), but it's really a matter of the lesser of two evils, IMO.

So here I am, typing 25 minutes before one of the biggest points in the great history of the US of A. Approximately 8 hours til I wake up and prepare for my first opportunity to vote for our nation's next president (and one of the US Senator spots from GA, among others). About 24 hours til the dust really settles and we have a new president (barring an electoral tie, of course).

So as you go to the polls tomorrow, keep in mind the best interests of our country and of its citizens. That's all I ask.

Regardless of tomorrow's result, know that God is still in control. Neither candidate will change God's desires or will. God will still love unconditionally and eternally. Jesus will still be mighty to save.

I'll be back here Wednesday for some post-election thoughts. God bless America, and may America bless God.
