Spent most of my day dealing with a mail program problem that was so unusual that it was no surprise that a doodle head like me did not see it… right there in front of me all day. It was my problem but got it corrected late afternoon. When I had a little down time and after some serious pondering I was grateful for the time it occupied me today. Religion and politics are two subjects that can get these rocking chairs on the porch moving fast enough to burn the runners. I try to avoid them both when writing or doing a little porch pondering… because they both tend to encourage debate and you know how I feel about that… someone always has to lose. How you vote is best kept close to your chest and should at least reflect you values… that’s where this voting thing gets a bit personal. Values or Politics… either way one or the other is the loser but which ever way it falls there is a cost. Me, I tend to always vote my values which simply means that between you and me there is a good chance that we won’t be in agreement. Consider this… we live in a world that has forgotten how to disagree and be nice about it. I will vote for God, Family and Church… you can fill in the value factor with that. I was not a fan of President Obama but one thing he did say has stayed with me through the years gone by… “Elections have consequences.” Ponder on that!
