These words spanned a sign that was shown to myself and other voters waiting at an early voting center today. It's message? Some were confused, but I supported and knew the message it conveyed: Keep Christ central in the election process. So many times, it can become just about issues. Yes issues are important. Jesus would vote on issues. But in the process, it becomes a polarized downward spiral, where one person is cast against another with different voting preferences. I know whom I voted for. I voted for the candidates that represented my values. Do I know every position of every candidate on every issue? No. But I voted generally speaking in the direction that I believe that this country should be going: towards a government that upholds and protects our freedoms, rather than taking them away. I hold dear to the freedom that allows anyone to write on a sign "Vote For Jesus" and to the fredom that allows me to worship freely without an outwardly suspicious government looking over my shoulder. So you could say, I voted for Jesus.
