The People Have Spoken

I feel good that we've taught the children how to fully participate in the democratic process. They've seen the great freedom we have in this country to be able to cast a vote in peaceful surroundings without fear. They're also learning that while our vote is very important, we don't always win. While this latter lesson weighs heavily on their hearts I've decided to lighten their burden by taking them out for donuts this morning. When they are grown up they can blame me for why they always feel they must eat treats when things don't go their way. But for today we need a treat. :-) We will begin again to pray for our elected officials that they will protect life from conception to natural death.
