Each time we get close to an election year, they start arriving. The forwarded emails. And each time, feelings are sure to get hurt all around. This year I am doing a bit of lobbying of my own right from the very start.
So, here goes:
please,
Please,
P-L-E-A-S-E
(and oh, dear God, how I pray that my heart will be heard when I ask my friends once more this year)
kindly refrain from sending me any type of political-themed emails from any political viewpoint
(especially those with any overtly religious slant)
Because I will love you regardless of how you vote. I will. I do not care. I do not want to know who you want to win. I only want to know that you take your voting every bit as seriously as I do. Which, I do take
v-e-r-y s-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y.
I hope that you will love me, too. And if not, then I tend to think that is your crisis of faith problem, not mine.
Yes. I know the issues. Trust me. I spend many (many) hours online every day reading and researching.
The issues? I got 'em. Thanks, though.
Yes. I know that many people of my particular faith background tend to vote a certain way. I often tend not to vote that way. And sometimes, I tend to vote that way. You see, I can actually go both ways. I study all the issues. I research all the candidates and then I pray with all my heart, soul, mind and body and then I vote.
Yes. This process works for me. This is how I do it. Thanks again for your concern, but I really, honestly, respectfully, truly, prayerfully and humbly say to you now from my deepest and most loving heart space that
I DO NOT NEED
your advice.
Really, I don't.
But I do love you! :)
