Vote your conscience

WATCH THIS!!!

Here is a wonderful video from our Catholic brothers and sisters. While it is entitled Catholic Vote, you don't have to be Catholic to appreciate the message.

It's a great video that gets to the heart of the issues that are at stake in this election. And, in my opinion, it's not just "issues" that are at stake in November, but our lives.

We are being asked to make decisions that will change the way we live. Make your vote count! And, vote your conscience.

Jaydee and Shaunda said...: Darce,
Can I totally copy this and your words and post them on my blog? I love reading your blog and the insights you have. I just had a conversation yesterday with a friend about the elections and I said that to me it boils down to two issues...abortion and marriage. I said, that if we as a country can get back to the morals we were founded upon then everything else will fall in place. This video says and shows it much better that I can. Thanks for sharing.; October 2, 2008 at 8:10 AM

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
--Marianne Williamson

Ten Axioms to Guide My Life

1. It's not the obstacle that counts, but how you overcome it.
2. Pursue your goals with all your heart, might, mind, and strength. You are doomed to failure if you pursue them in a vacillating manner.
3. From a tiny spark can come a large fire.
4. Our greatest strengths can become our greatest weaknesses.
5. Failure is one of the greatest teachers if we have the faith to learn from it.
6. It is not how you start the race or where you are during the race. It is how you cross the finish line that matters.
7. "If you wish to get rich, save what you get. A fool can earn money; but it takes a wise man to save and dispose of it to his own advantage."
8. You cannot learn the Lord's will without exercising your agency and becoming accountable for your decisions.
9. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
10. The temple of God is the greatest university.
--taken from Elder Robert D. Hales
