My favorite time because it's fall, and my least favorite because it's election time. I grow weary of negative campaigning, smear ads, mud-slinging and the general discontent an election brings about.
This year's presidential campaign has been particularly nasty. I'm not a fan of either candidate. As a declared Independent, party affiliation does not sway my decision. I am excited about the prospect of a woman president, and I'll cast my vote for Hillary. I'm not a huge Hillary fan, and there are many things about her that I don't care for. When I look at her record of service at Secretary of State, and her knowledge of foreign governments and the work she has already done with them, I think that will serve her well as President.
I'm not thrilled about the options this year. Even so, I will exercise my right as a citizen of the United States and cast my vote.
Underpinning all of this for me is the scripture that reads: There is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. (Romans 13:1b).
Because I know that God is completely in control, I'll just leave it up to Him! And that brings me great peace.
