Election Blues

I've been burned out on politics lately. I have not had much interest in any of the candidates. I do follow the news, but find myself apathetic about any of the campaigns. I can't support any of the Democratic candidates. Most of the Republican field are better than the Democrat field, but I am not excited about any of them. Ron Paul is a loon. Huckabe, Rudy, and Romney are all pretty much RINO's. McCain pisses me off. Duncan Hunter can't seem to get his message out, and Thompson is barely campaigning. The only two I really like are Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson. So I sit back and watch, and hope. I hope a true conservative wins the Republican nomination and goes on to win the geneal election.

Marriage is a gift to be treasured

Today, at the church we have been attending, Renea and I renewed our marriage vows with about 100 couples during the morning service. It was the culmination of a series on marriage that our pastor had been preaching on for the past 4 weeks. As we recited our vows to each other, I realized how blessed I have been being married to Renea for over 24 years.
Don't get me wrong, our marriage hasn't been perfect. We have gone through a lot of hard times along with the good times. but we always got through them. I have always believed that marriage is a gift to be treasured. Renea and I promised each other before we were married to always try to work through our problems. We promised each other to never get a divorce. So far , we both have kept that promise.
As we go toward our 25th year of marriage, we have renewed our vows. Our covenant to love and cherish each other till death do us part. God grant that it be so.
