Have you voted? If not, you still have a little more than an hour according to my clock. I'm not a super political person, but I do believe in the IMPORTANCE of voting...our military has fought for our right to do so...so please voice your opinions in the voting booths.
Anyway...I just wanted to post this for everyone to read. I've read and heard this tons of times, but there is so much truth in it. I hope you enjoy...
Christians
by Maya Angelou
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin.'"
I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say... "I am a Christian", I don't speak of this with pride.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not trying to be strong.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not bragging of success.
I'madmitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I still feel the sting of pain..
I havemy share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

I love that poem! I have seen it here and there,several times over the past couple years and it always gets better the more I read it!
On another note, I DID NOT VOTE! I forgot all about it! I was so mad when I realized I missed it!
