We're inundated today with views on candidates, plenty of real and imagined smut on each one. When it gets down to voting time, though, I think each of us needs to examine our world view before we go to the polls. So, I thought I'd include mine--and hope many of these concepts are still alive when my five (three shown here) grandkids come of age.I believe:
* The universe and everything in it was created by the God revealed in the Old and New Testaments.
* Man has dominion over and should be good stewards of all God has given us.
* Life starts at conception.
* Marriage by definition is between a man and a woman.
* The government is not responsible for my well being.
* The government does have major responsibility for protection and security.
I'm sure more headings and many subheadings could be added, but I choose to keep it simple.
I welcome your comments on my blog, and please:
* Keep it friendly.
* Don't mention candidates (for purpose of this one discussion ), only concepts, beliefs and ideas.
* Admit that my grandkids are every bit as cute as your grandkids!

I'm starting on my second book, Muppim, Huppim and Ard, which should be finished by September--I'm not sure which September. Also Ebenezer still makes a great gift, devotion book or family time reading.
Thank you all for supporting me and my projects.

Government aid to poor people called "walfare."
Government aid to keep the rich people from getting poor "bailout."
Marty - I believe that we must each look carefully at the issues, the character and background of the candidates, friends and supporters of each candidate and THINK about what we learn so that we can make a wise choice in this election. Literally the future of our nation depends on how we vote. The basic values & principles on which our country was founded is what makes it possible to have an election. Which candidate supports those values and principles? mk
