The Upcoming Election

In recent months, we have hardly had the time or energy to keep up with the political scene in the United States. It has been a relief to live without the excessive media barrage. However, we personally recognize the great significance of this presidential election and have had no intention to take the matter lightly.

It has been no surprise or secret to us that our political views are in the minority within our current environment. As the election nears, and as the corresponding tension builds, we have developed a strong desire to verbalize our support.

We are in support of John McCain.

While the intent of this blog post is not to debate issues or provide exhaustive reasoning for our decision, we would like to share one resource that we have found to be incredibly valuable. Dr. James Dobson (Focus on the Family) is an individual whom we greatly respect, and whose Biblical worldview we share. His October Newsletter speaks to the significance of the upcoming election.

We are not claiming that John McCain is perfect, or the ideal candidate, but in this election we are presented with two candidates. Although there may be other less dominant options, we want our votes to count. It is McCain that we believe to be the best recipient for our support.

We realize there will be varied reactions to this post. So be it. We feel there is no better platform for honesty and openness. If nothing else, we hope this provides a clearer picture of the personal convictions we hold regarding our beliefs.
