Country Roads

As I write this, it’s Election Day tomorrow! People have either gone to the polls to vote early, filled out and mailed them in, or will head to the polling places tomorrow. This election time has been a whirlwind. A time of conflicts, a bunch of promising proposals, name calling back and forth, a trying time for sure.

When this newspaper edition comes out, the election will be all over, or will it? Will the ballots all be counted? Will there be some last minute findings to question the findings? Will there be riots not accepting the outcome? Will people who have promised to leave this country if it doesn’t turn out the way they want, go ahead and make their reservations to leave? Who knows!

Others and myself will be glad when it’s all said and done. There will be no more televised political candidate advertisements, one right after the other. I got tired of seeing and hearing those political advertisements over and over again. The televised news channels went on and on, 24 hours a day about the polls going up and down with guest broadcasters each giving their opinions about the candidates and the election outcomes. Then when the election advertisements are over, I’ll be glad when the Medicare “signing up” dead line is over and those advertisements go off the air. But that’s another matter.

No matter how the presidential election and the House and Senate elections come out, we need to accept it. We may not be happy about it, but we need to move on for the good of our country.

A friend on social media shared this thought, “This is a verse we all need to remember during these crazy times! ‘You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in You.’ ” Isaiah 26:3.
