Finally...

It is finally election day and  I am going to be very happy when it is all over. I appreciate that I live in Iowa, a swing state, so I get to have more access and information from the candidates. But so much of the telephone calls, TV and Internet ads are negative that it gets tiring listening to it all.

I had a difficult time deciding what my votes should be, not only with the Presidential election, but with all of the ballot measures for my area. I wanted to be informed and make the right choice.

I saw the good in both sides of the argument. No one is 100% right or wrong (in my view). I guess the most important thing is to decide what is most important to you and find the person who gets closest to it.

No matter who is elected President today...or next week if we have craziness...I am going to pray for the President that he can rely on the Lord and try to do what is right. No matter who the next President is, he will need out support.

I have kept quiet throughout the election. There was too much negativity throughout the campaigns and on personal feeds. Facebook especially was like a minefield, I didn't want to post anything there. Hopefully you will see this post as what it is, one person trying to explain how difficult it is to vote in today's world.
