Yeah my guy lost. So how do I get past through to the next election cycle? Well to be serious I would refer to my prior post here. But it is also fun to pick a new team to follow. So while four years is a long way away, for now Bobby Jindal is my guy. No offense to Sarah Palin, but for a host of reasons I think Bobby would make a better candidate and president. Bobby Jindal 2012!!

Let Christians Vote As Though They Were Not Voting
Just thought I would share perhaps the best thing I have read about this whole mess this election season.
"...So it is with voting. There are losses. We mourn. But not as those who have no hope. We vote and we lose, or we vote and we win. In either case, we win or lose as if we were not winning or losing. Our expectations and frustrations are modest. The best this world can offer is short and small. The worst it can offer has been predicted in the book of Revelation. And no vote will hold it back. In the short run, Christians lose (Revelation 13:7). In the long run, we win (21:4)."
John Piper
Read the whole thing here.
The appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:29-31)
