Hands Tied

I chose this picture because though the hands are tied they continue to worship. God, your will be done. Give us wisdom.

Why should I have to choose?

Health Care (Democrat) or Babies' rights to live (Republican) Aren't both the right to life?

Economy (Republican) or Environment (Democrat)

Right to Bare Arms (Republican) or more funding for public education (Democrat)

Prioritizing stewardship of the earth (Democrat) or supporting & encouraging entrepreneurial adventures (Republican)

Too much government involvement/Socialism (Democrat) or not enough government involvement/lassiez-faire/every man for himself (Republican)

Actively caring for the poor (Democrat) or protecting companies' rights...capitalism (Republican)

Higher taxes and empty promises (Democrat) or advertised lower taxes and no way to make changes (Republican)

American/National Pride (Republican) or Respected International/World Participate (Democrat)

Hard work, self-preservation, sense of accomplishment (Republican) or Acknowledging we all need a leg up once and a while to level the playing field (Democrat)

National Security (Republican) or Governmental college funding (Democrat)

Are all these issues important to a candidate? Why isn't there a party that cares both about the plight of the poor but supports the spirit of being a hard-working American?

Why are all these choices one or the other? I care about both. We shouldn't have to choose between feeling safely protected in our nation and getting to see a doctor. We have the best health care in the world but who can afford it?

Can you see why my hands are tied?

This is my prayer below for those about to take leadership of our incredible country. May we not have to choose between such important matters.

Daniel 6:4

"At this, the administrators tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent."
