As you well know with all of the debates, signs, phone calls and discussions at local hangouts, the election season is well underway.

Whether we realize it or not, God is still in control of who will be elected. In Daniel 2:21 it tells us: and he change the times and the seasons; He removeth kings and setteth up kings; He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. We the citizens of America will elect a new leader of this country in November. It won’t matter if the person elected is not the one we wanted, God can still use them to accomplish his will. So, as you prepare to cast your ballot in November, pray for God’s guidance and seek his direction and wisdom.

Christian love and sympathy is extended to the families and friends of Robert Maples and Kenneth Ladd.
