Brings Up A Good Point

Kristina made a fabulous comment on my "Election Day" post a few days ago. She is right! There is definitely a contingency out there that thinks Obama is going to pay for all this and suddenly all their expenses will be subsidized.

Interesting thing happened to me election night. I was at a candle party with predominantly Spanish speaking, green card immigrants. I have never been in this situation before, and it was weird for my first time to be on election night. I had a few of the gals who were bilingual help me out, and from a candle point of view it was fine.

But, when I arrived, they had their TV on to a Spanish channel that was covering the election. After the candle party, they turned the TV on and announced that Obama had won. The entire room jumped up and clapped and cheered loudly.

Why? This lady says it best. Seriously, they think that their rent, gas, food, etc. will be subsidized. And there is a lot of joking going on about how we are headed for a socialist state. And you know what, I am not laughing anymore, it actually does frighten me now.

That's scary to think about. I know our God will take care of us though.

Absolutely! That is our hope, and we are commanded to only seek our hope in God. For that I am ever so grateful. For those who were not Obama supporters and not Christians, I can only imagine the hopelessness.

God knows what is going on. He knew everyone's vote before it happened. He knew the margin of error in voting machines. I also praise Him for defeating all of the anti marriage propositions that were going on in three states. He knows. To Him be the glory, Amen!

Ok, so your post was a little kinder than mine. I just couldn't hold back the sarcasm when I saw that YouTube clip.
