He dropped the
writ. We’ve been waiting for it and
wondering when it would happen and now it has happened. Dropping the writ is an awesome term. It is much classier than simply saying that
he called an election.
However, it
doesn’t really matter whether you are dropping a writ or calling an election,
the end result is an incredible privilege.
A privilege that the majority of the world will never have and that the
minority who do have it often take for granted.
So this election
instead of grumbling and complaining, let’s pray and ponder. Pray that the leaders who will lead our
province well will be elected, regardless of their party, and ponder the issues
so that you can vote responsibly.
But, however you
vote, please vote. Because the person
who chooses not to vote is no better off than the person who does not have the
right to vote.
Regardless of what
some people say, democracy isn’t a God given right. You won’t find it in the
Bible, but it is a right that has been paid for with the blood and sacrifice of
people. So over the next four weeks pray
and ponder and on May 30th take the time to do what most of the world can’t do,
vote.
Have a great week and remember: To see what is really
possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
