The Day After The Election

I just received this from my dear friend, Jennifer M. and I asked her if I could post it. I needed this so much this morning. In all honesty, I am struggling with the outcome of this election. I know that God is in control, this didn't catch Him by surprise and He has a plan...but my stomach isn't listening. This brought about a peace in my spirit that I needed. May it do the same for you.

Dear Friends,

For months now, my email Inbox has been besieged by nearly hysterical warnings about what will happen if Barack Obama becomes President. I have been encouraged to be worried, afraid, concerned, prepared for disaster, and a whole host of other maladies if this happens. I do not deny the importance of the outcome of this election, but it seems to me that we need a dose of perspective. So here, on this post-election day, I would like to start my own email concerning this election.

It's a "True/False" test. I'd like for all of us to take it. Feel free to email it on to whomever:
