Voting...

Today in Roswell the American priviledge of election has begun.  My dad was the 36th today to vote for Mayor & City Council.  I like to vote on the day of election.  My dad asked me "What if you're sick"  ...such an optimist, he is.  I said," I won't be"  He said, "We will get an ambulance to take you!"  How dramatic is that!   Elections in small towns can be that way sometimes.

Don't you wish we could vote on the state of the world?  Or maybe just end the game, like Monopoly and just start over with everything distributed evenly.  Of course, those who are the winners wouldn't like that much.

  That ,maybe, is how we find ourselves.  We are continuing to roll the dice and play the game.  Each of us praying that God will favor us ..just this one roll..and when we get into a 'winning' streak unlike a 'loosing' the last words  on our lips are 

 "Why me?"  

 I wonder why that is?  If something bad were to happen..immediately the thought is "why me" or "it's always me..."  I think there are book titles about "Why bad things happen to good people"  the bigger amazement is "Why good things happen to bad people"

The answer..drum roll please........GRACE!

Silly us..even Jesus, when he was told that He was Good said only the Father in heaven is Good...

Some things are just real simple. 

So, this coming voting season..let's keep rolling the dice...maybe, just maybe, good things will happen!!
