ELECTION DAY – NOVEMBER 6TH – SOME THOUGHTS AS YOU CAST YOUR BALLOT*

               Next Tuesday, we all have the right and the duty to exercise our freedom to vote for the candidates of our choice.  In these times of divisive political talk and horrendous acts of violence, it’s important for all of us to examine our own “political talk”.  I found these wise thoughts, just this morning, from an inspirational daily reader,  the Christophers:

 “The Ten Political Commandments

     1.      Do not put all your hopes in a political or economic theory or party line.

     2.      Do not worship political figures or images.  

     3.      God does not belong to your political party nor does God endorse your political opinion.

     4.      Do not use God to support your political theories.

     5.      Respect the political views of other family members, friends and co-workers.

     6.      Disagree but don’t be cruel or disrespectful.

     7.      Do not inject politics in every conversation.

     8.      Be honest when you vote.

     9.      Defend the truth even if that makes you unpopular.

   10.     Accept ballot results without gloating or moaning.

Use your God-given intellect and free will for the peace- filled common good.”

BE SURE TO VOTE  TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6^TH.
