Voting - Easy for Some, Not for Others

What a day......hop on the golf cart in sunny 81º weather, go to the clubhouse to vote, run into a friend and have lunch in the cafe in that same building.  Now it's off to buy cat-food and a few groceries.  Hey, it's a rough life but somebody's gotta do it!  

All joking aside..... I'm wondering how the day will unfold.  What about the victims of Hurricane Sandy who might not get in to vote?  (They're still struggling and miserable and there's another storm coming their way.)  What about all the rescue workers from all over the US who are helping in the Northeast who might not get to vote? 

My heart goes out to all of them, as well as families in other parts of the country who are affected. Donations can be made through the Red Cross at  http://www.redcross.org/charitable-donations or at through UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief)  http://www.umcor.org/

Praying for hurricane victims on the East coast and for the elections.  This powerful thought was on a church marquee:  "America's Hope:  Not in the Donkey, nor the Elephant, but in the Lamb."
