Tribute to First-time Voters

Today,  my oldest daughter voted for her first time. While voting, we learned a 99-year- old woman had also come out to vote this election for her first time. 

Campaign season should be a time when you connect with your candidates and elected representatives.  My wife and daughter are depicted here with Maurice Cook for Sheriff, Mel Hamner for County Commissioner, Pct 1, and Wayne Wood for Constable, Pct 1.

Voting should be a fun,  family experience (those are "I Voted" stickers on our heads),  and election- night returns should be a cause for rejoicing. 

May we always seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness in how we make electoral decisions. 

"When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan."
Proverbs 29:2
