Vote I did

I voted today, I did this because I did not want to take the chance of something happening and not being able to make it to the poles on Tuesday. Also I made my decision and did not want to think about it anymore (not an easy decision). My decision came down to listening to what God told me to do and I just hope i heard him right. I feel good about my choice conceding I was hoping for a different person to throw there hat into the ring, and give me a better choice that either of those running. I do not have an issue with the way people vote as long as it is an informed decision and not one made for superficial reasons. My daughter had a discussion with a girl from work that got mad at her because she voted for McCain the girl accused her of not voting for Obama because of his skin color, if you know my daughter you know that could not be farther from the truth. My daughter is the most conservative person in our house and just could not vote for Obama because of his policies. This really made my daughter mad because this girl told her that the only reason was voting for Obama was skin color. I am sure there are many people who will base their vote on skin color alone going both ways and I take issue with all of them. My prayer is that people will look at the issues decide who they think will be the best president and vote.

Can't we all just get along

Yesterday one of my friends announced which person he was supporting for president and he did this on Facebook. It started a landslide of people telling him why his choice was wrong, asking him if he was kidding,crazy and a host of other comments. Maybe this is why they tell you not to discuss politics with people. As for me I am still not sure who I am voting for, I do not need your input about each person. I know enough I just do not like either choice so it may be a 3rd party that gets my vote, and no it will not be wasted as long as it is the person I think would do the best job. What my point in this is that this person has studied this and prayed over it and has come up whit the person he thinks will be the best for our country. I may or may not agree with him but it is his choice and no one has the right to do what these other friend have done to him. I hope that this will not come between the friendship that these people have because what we all must remember is that God is in control and he already knows who our next president will be and he can handle ANYTHING.

Army of Women

October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month . I hope you all knew that. Last week I saw something on TV and thought I should do that. Then I forgot about it. Today I saw it again on a different show and did not wait I joined. It is called An Army of Women. They are trying to get 1 million women of all shapes, sizes, colors and ages to sign up. They will send yo e-mails to see if you fit into a area that they are looking for for research. You can get to be in trials if you choose.
Also I am very bad about this but I will try to get better at getting my yearly mammograms. I turned 43 yesterday and have had 2, I am almost a year past due. So please go to the web site and register then Talk to your doctor about what you should be doing for your health. We can stop this form of cancer as long as enough of us get involved. By the way I do not know anyone who has has Breast Cancer and I hope I never do.
