Voting and work

It's election day. And I voted. I've voted in every single presidential election since 1992. And I'm happy about that. Today, 20 years later, my oldest daughter voted in her first presidential election. How cool is that?

I should be working right now. Work has been all-consuming, with about fifteen projects going on. A little bit of stress. But it's a good thing, I think. If I wasn't busy, wouldn't I be bored or lazy? I have a hard time, though, because I have a desire to do things well. When you have a number of projects, it's easy to drop pieces and not do things well.

We're supposed to fill out an employee survey at work. This is how I feel about it.

Another thing I should be doing is studying for my bible study. I am still finishing up the True Woman study with a group of middle schoolers and high schoolers. We have two more weeks left. Shouldn't I spend time thinking about how even though the fall has twisted God's design for women, Jesus re-made us?

Yet, instead, I made pork chops and risotto for dinner, had a glass of wine, and am watching election results. I will get back to work, and I will finish this study, but sometimes it's okay to take a bit of time and watch national news unfold. I admit that I have a hard time really believing everything these candidates throw at us. I also know God has this well in hand. But I do think it's important to vote and pray for our president, regardless of the party.
