[...] not a liberal by any account. I hate the idea of a huge federal government. I voted for Bob Barr. But I do care about my community. Brian and I give to several non-profits [...]

@Milena – Any chance you’ll be voting third party next time around?

@Ari Koinuma – The 8 years part of our wake up call reminds me of the battered woman who keeps hoping that her man will change.

Dorie,

I’d have to agree with you, though it’s kinda like being grateful for contracting cancer that helped you get serious about your health.

A cancer can do that for you, or it can kill you. Or a car accident, or AIDS.

The catalyst matters less than our response. So I suppose we ought to congratulate ourselves for getting serious about politics in light of Bush.

I still wish it didn’t take 8 years, though.

So nice to hear a thinker. Anyone blindly following a party – Rep or Dem – has to wake up.

@Megs – I am so glad you found my blog! More than anything else, we needed to be broken of our bad habits.

We don’t know each other yet (I found you connected to Todd’s blog who my husband found when trying to figure out the craziness of living missionally and intentionally in our Mayberry of Mayberry’s down in the south), but you became my favorite person with this post I am RIGHT ON with you about the 2004 election. I was studying abroad at the time and voted via absentee ballot for Bush while having everyone (literally everyone) around me telling me what an idiot I was for doing so. I, too, am thankful that our apathy is broken. I’m thankful that I cared enough to follow this election through, even though I had to follow 3 different media outlets to attempt to find what was true somewhere in the middle. I am thankful to have a President I care so much for that I haven’t ceased praying for him for the last 24 hours (I say that realizing I should have cared enough the past 24 years, too). I really care! I really love my country! It’s sick– I’ve totally bought in the system. Yes we did and yes we will continue to do by the Lord’s great grace!!
