Everywhere I look there are ads
Elections are in November
I promised my husband that I’d always vote
even though when
he was alive, we’d cancel
each other’s vote out.
How did politics get this complicated.
When I was in high school we held Girl’s State.
You had to campaign, select a slogan, write a
piece of
legislation, gather others to your cause.
Now when someone’s elected, they think the same way.
You’ve got to write legislation or have a proposition.
As a voter you have to decide.
From an older person’s perspective, it came down to
Money and pride.
It was no different 2600 years ago. Lehi had to let go of
Gold, silver,
precious things and his land of inheritance.
Pride in being the oldest, blinded Laman, primogeniture
became the common
law for thousands of years.
There’s no money in the desert.
It’s too hot to even complain or demonstrate.
Now I have to read all the pros and cons.
Research a candidate’s life and philosophy.
Prayer is the final step of yes or no, or a
check in the box
to vote for or against.
But a promise is a promise. I’ll vote early.
Only God knows the right choices,
the beginning from
the end.
He said, Ask and ye shall receive answers.
Just do it!
