November 11, 2000 ~ Saturday Night

This recount thing is absolutely ridiculous.  And I'm not just saying that because I want George to win the presidency.  I just think it is horrible for our country.  People are now fighting and protesting their own side and I think it's awful that instead of this being an exciting time of the ushering in of a new administration, it is a nit picking fight over every little tiny thing.  How can that be good.  People are filled with anxiety and anticipation wondering what the outcome of this whole mess will be.  That can't be good for anyone.  Especially me!

I have decided, that although I love George W. Bush and am praying hard for him to win, I will be supportive of Al Gore if he becomes president.  I believe God is in charge and He'll pick the right candidate.  I'm just praying for God to give me the same love for Al Gore as I have for George because I want to be content with whoever the president is for the next four years.  People think I'm crazy for caring so much about George becoming the president.  They keep trying to tell me that the president doesn't really make THAT much difference.  But it's like picking your favorite football team.  Football is just a game; it never makes a difference who wins.  Not really.  Yet millions of people pick a team and favor them over any other, and devote all their loyalty to that team.  If people can be that passionate about plain old football why can't they have more passion for the leaders of our country.  They do matter.  And it's not that I think Al Gore is a bad man.  I don't really know what kind of man he is.  And I don't really know what kind of man George W. Bush is either.  But for some reason, a reason I can't explain, I just "feel" that George is the man for the job.  But whoever the next president is I will devote my prayers to that man and pray God gives him wisdom to lead our nation in a moral way.


In non-George-W-Bush related news...  I am liking my new tread mill.  But it's the weirdest feeling when I step off it after a little bit.  I feel almost water logged.  It's because the action of walking on a tread mill is alot different from normal walking.  It's getting better though.  I really do like it!
