I have felt down, too, especially after the debate. In fact, I was angry because I really feel Kerry gave some wonderful "pitches" for President Bush to hit out of the park, but all I saw were "bunts". And I feel Kerry has been re-energized--and I wanted him OUT of the game.

On top of this, I felt really down because of not having my beloved husband here to talk to about all this--he loved President Bush and for some reason right now I am really hurting even though he died more than more than two years ago. So--when FreeRepublic was down--I felt REALLY bad--WHAAAAAA!!

Thank God--literally--I realized that while politics is fascinating, and the election is very important, God is the most important thing in my life and I was not spending the daily time with him I needed to. So I opened his Word--and VOILA!!--there was the Comfort and Blessed Assurance (and re-assurance) I so badly needed.

Forgive me if I sound like I'm preaching, but I will always remember on election night in 2000, while all of us here on FreeRepublic were FREAKING OUT because the media told us Gore was winning Florida, someone reminded us that no matter what--God was in charge and we needed to seek His will--and so a bunch of us IMMEDIATELY started praying--and a few hours later Florida was no longer in the Gore column. I will NEVER forget the lesson of that night--nor the strength of my wonderful husband's praying--and I just want to share that with everyone here. So--God bless you guys, and our Commander in Chief, and our wonderful military!

thank you Milagro--i've down in the dumps since Thursday nigh--with a couple of moments of feeling hope thrown in--

i too wanted Bush to knock it out of the park... put this election away... you, my sister, put it all in perspective for me... deep inside i keep telling myself this is all in God's hands... but you just brought it out from deep inside... thanks you...
