I am the Candle Holder

Well, I did it. I decided to vote. Not out of obligation or guilt, but because I wanted to stand up for my ideals. Although I know my vote will not make a difference in the election it will make a difference in me. I chose my beliefs, my ideals, my standards.

There was a silent protestor who stood outside the Whitehouse holding a lit candle to protest the war. A guy stopped him and asked, "Why are you doing this? You are not going to change anything." The protester said, "I don't do this to change them. I do it so I am not changed."

Although I may not change this nation, I can choose to not allow this nation to change me...and that is precisely what I did. Pray for our next president, whoever they may be, and pray for our nation. God is in control...allow your hope to rest in Him.
