I it because you believe voting on principles is most important, or because you think a third party candidate could potentially win? Or is it something else?

I just learned you had a blog! As you may be seeing in my blog, my focus is on our future hope, although I have much more to write on this. But I believe it important that Christians in the US not fix their hope on legislation, elections, or rulings, as if these by themselves will somehow change the direction of our country. It is our right and privilege to vote, however, our hope is not in this. I am a little sarcastic here, but sometimes I see more passion every four years given to "getting out the vote" than being cultural change agents through the gospel of Jesus Christ and lives demonstrating a hope that is not in the "stuff and things" of this world. Why don't you write on this for me? Trevor,

He is pleased with your individual pursuit of Christliness without regard to the world's measure of its impact on the world. Be bold and unwavering in your Isa58 obedience from the smallest to the largest of details in life. He delights in your worship of Him, not the world-wise measured impact of the action you take on an issue. We vote not to elect but to proclaim the only sufficient solution for our nation is Christ. consider that we worship a unique God via a unique relationship, each person unique and God being unique.

We will, most likely, end up voting for Bob Barr, the libertarian candidate. We don't think this is a wasted vote because voting libertarian is a way to send the republican party a message saying that we want a stronger, more conservative, candidate in the 2012 election . Bryce and I are strong conservatives, and I'm not sure where you guys stand so I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but it is something to think about. Barr also has a pretty extreme pro-life stance. Bryce and I have been thinking that since Oregon is not a swing state, it might be a good time for us to vote for a third party member.

I always overreact and end up in the other ditch. However, I have recently been thinking about the importance of creativity and art and trying to think through it all. I have heard that Dorothy Sayers book, "The Mind of the Maker," is the best, for lack of a better term, theology of creativity out there. I have been saying for a few months that I was going to buy it and give it to my church's worship leader. Maybe I should finally do that... I’m in the same boat as Dorian.

That wasn't a good move for our country. I believe that a vote for anyone other than John McCain will put Barak Obama into the white house. I am so bothered by Christians who are so willing to vote for a man who supports ending the lives of unborn children. It drives me crazy. I realize that's not your stance here but I believe that a vote for anyone other than John McCain will lead to the same dire circumstances.
