Elections

  • Two Americas, One Kingdom

    President Barack Obama has won four more years. As believers, we pray for our leaders. Good, bad, indifferent on this election, our call is clear. We pray for our leaders.

  • Ayn Rand, Paul Ryan, Mormonism, and Religion in General

    When it comes to elections, as I stated before, it really should be tough. While one’s religion is not a qualifier, or disqualifier, for president (in legal terms), it is something to consider.

  • It was a privilege to vote in this election. What a great time to be voting, regardless of the outcome for president. Our state senate race in Minnesota was far more heated and close, so it will interesting to watch the returns tonight. (I’m a political junkie. I don’t suffer from it. I enjoy it.)… Read more
