instead of fighting
so, i've seen a lot since the election has been over. I've also heard a lot. I've read of leaders- faith leaders in particular- who are really upset over the outcome. Given the publicity, the polls and everything else, i'm not sure how we were expecting much differently, unless we were deluding ourselves.
But i've gone so far as to read people saying that America is now turning away from God. Or that we're going to be outside His blessing now. News flash, folks- America has had a democrat president before. And those of faith are not necessarily republicans only.
that notwithstanding, i thought i'd share something i came across. Rather than bashing the president-elect, or the american people- rather than spewing hate & discord, why can't we come together around something like this:

division will hurt us even more at this critical time a a country. Instead of lamenting and complaining, let's be people who react positively, even if some are unhappy with the way things have gone. If all we do is complain because the person we wanted didn't win, how does that make us any different from non-believers?
Please take a moment and just read the link i've posted- it was, i thought, a very good sentiment that all can rally around- especially considering it was written by one who voted for the McCain/Palin ticket.
