I can hardly believe it's almost here. This has been the most exciting campaign of my lifetime, and although I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, I've loved every minute of it. The drama! The emotion! The historical precedents! It's been better than a soap opera.
And in just a few more hours, at last, we get to vote.
I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. I'm not even going to tell you who I'm voting for. My pastor gave a wonderful sermon yesterday in which he reminded us that no matter who wins tomorrow, our responsibility as Christians remains the same. We need to love our neighbors. We need to pray for our leaders. And we need to remember that it is our love and prayers and sacrifice, and not any political promises, that will have the greatest impact on our fallen world.
Still, you should vote tomorrow. It's more than participating in democracy; it's a way of caring for our neighbors. Research the issues (it's not too late). Double-check your voting place. Then go stand in line tomorrow and vote your conscience.
But I will tell you one way to vote: if you live in Georgia, please vote yes on Amendment 2! This is a constitutional amendment to create districts that will be used to fund the Beltline. Atlanta really needs this.
