WORDS MISCONSTRUED?

Words are often misconstrued. Misheard, especially when similar sounding.

Loath and Loathe---seem similar but adding one little E makes a BIG difference.

Loath--reluctant, unwilling (adj)

Loathe-- feel intense dislike or disgust for (verb)

I am the loath one. Loath to vote because I loathe the political ads, media interviews and tweets filled with so much hatred and insults. 

TV political ads----WORDS. WORDS. WORDS. $-$-$-$-$

Maybe I'm misconstruing their intentions. 

Maybe I'm misinterpreting their meanings.

Probably not. Votes are wanted. Their intention is winning.

After all, it's Super Tuesday in America. 

I, for one of many,  desire a "win" for our country. One nation under God.

I'm more interested in a candidate's character than his/her rhetoric.

My desire is for a President who can work and walk hallowed in a hollow land.

I am praying to that end......... 

hoping that my words are not misconstrued. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

CONSIDER VOTING

Consider voting----YES!
Yet......I was mainly considering avoiding crowds by voting early. I don't like to "waste time" standing in line. As always I had a book in tow.
I walked right in----there was no line. I should have been happy but it actually saddened me. 
It was also a comeuppance for me! How self-serving was I---worried about waiting instead of celebrating the privilege of living in a democracy which can freely elect its officials. Voting is not wasting time!
Know the character of the candidates and vote wisely. Such wisdom has Biblical roots.

Furthermore, you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders (Exodus 20:21)

Choose wise and discerning and experienced people from your tribes, (Deuteronomy 1:13)

Consider voting for the greater good of our country---that's my new mantra!

ELECTION DAY 2016

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE.......BUT REMEMBER....THIS SIGN! (John 1:29)

'NUFF SAID! (Revelation 7:14)

An Important Cuppa Legali-TEA

    ......but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no,.....(James 5:12, ESV)

Today is "voting day" for general elections in our country. Voting is a privilege some countries do not have. I voted "early" and was present when a first-time voter was recognized and applauded as he "signed up."

Both hubby and I take the responsibility of voting very seriously---hoping others do as well.

However, there was a bit of a snafu at my machine.

My card read my precinct incorrectly, resulting in an "election official" checking my status, negating the vote on machine 3 and issuing me a new card for machine 4. The snafu was a result of my divided precinct. My division ends only with an I---the other folks have an I5. I was grateful that the mistake was caught by an alert poll watcher. BUT....I also watched to make sure that machine 3 negated any other votes with my name.....and made sure machine #4 registered my vote.

You see, in this election there were several issues that I wanted my YES to register YES and my NO to register NO.

Returning home, I heartily drank from my cuppa "legali-TEA," grateful for the legal regulations that keep our elections on the "up and up!"
