I voted!

Ford and I went to vote on Tuesday morning. It only took about 40 minutes, but it wore Ford out. I was so excited about showing him the voting process, but I guess it was all a little overwhelming. I wanted him to be a part of this historical election. I can remember going to the polls many times with my parents as a child. That helped to instill in me the importance of voting, so I want to pass that along to Ford - no matter how young he is.
As to the outcome... I cling to the verse in Isaiah 25:1
"O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For you have worked wonders, [with your] plans formed long ago with perfect faithfulness."
My hope for the future is in God not our government. Regardless of how I voted our next president, Barak Obama, will have my respect and prayers.
