Room With A View!
I am so thrilled to be moving into my new office. And what a view!

No excuses left for not writing, huh?

And the Answer Is: He Got the Most Electoral College Votes
Are you enjoying the excuses as some people try to explain Bush's victory? The most popular reason I've heard since the election is it was those evangelical Christians. (Catholics rejoice for the break. You'll be back on their #1 hot seat very soon.)

If you want to discount anything, label it first. The discounting of the word Christian sometimes even has a facial expression when said by a media person. Next, comes word association. Many already know that evangelicals are uneducated, weak people who cannot think for themselves. Fits beautifully for the Michael Moore types to conclude that Christians are ignorant and Bush is ignorant, so the ignorant voted for the ignorant. Case closed.

Do you ever get the feeling that we're fighting the Revolutionary War all over again? We don't like taxes. We don't want the king (Or the queen in 2008) telling us what to think. America is America because we have never followed the patterns of other countries. Of course Europe thinks we're odd. That's why we started our own country.

I loved Bush's line that "freedom is a gift from God."

"It's About Our Morals, Stupid"
Americans care about morals? Many of those voting didn't have religious affiliation, but they feel a moral one. Interesting.

Although my guy won the presidency yesterday, I feel a great humility today. I'm not really in a "high-five" sort of mood. My heart tells me of another victory. American Christians also won a greater responsibility to share the love of our Lord for the next four years. "Will we?"

Will I tell others of God's love as often as I criticize those going full throttle on embryonic stem cell research?

I don't view this election as "Kerry the Satan" vs. "Bush the Christ figure." As most of you know I sincerely like Bush and think he has done a good job in the most difficult of times.

Having a commander-in-chief who values his own deep faith will no doubt protect our religious freedom a while longer. Hopefully, we can keep judicial activists off of the Supreme court.

We've really hit an odd time in our history. Americans voted their morals. I am still amazed. In twelve years we've gone from "It's the economy, stupid" to "It's about our morals, stupid."
