Elections matter too, as we must live under the rule of those entrusted to govern our nations. Yet even in our nearly perfect system of government, where we as the people of God are given unparalleled authority to establish and maintain our governance, we fail time, and time again to exercise the good sense God has endowed each of us with.

Under our self-rule, we have allowed the forces of evil to establish normalcy to absurd contradictions to nature. Abortion runs rampant, and is ingrained in medical science under the auspices that pregnancy is an affliction, which can and should be healed by physicians.

Homosexuality is the pursuit of sexual gratification by abnormal means, yet it has slowly wormed its way into the fabric of our social conscience, and has deceitfully taken a counterfeit place alongside natural human diversities. The laws of nature, perhaps described partially but imperfectly by Darwinian theories, fly in the face of homosexuality at the very least through natural selection.

Under our self-rule, we have allowed this aberration to challenge the very roots of God's natural order, of two human beings, a man and a woman bonding together for the purpose of procreation. The model of man and woman in marriage is described throughout the Bible, even in describing man's relationship with God. Yet this nation over which we hold unparalleled sway may actually condone the recognition of homosexual unions on the same level.

Candidates for the most powerful office in our country are diverse in what they hold to be true and important. They each hold out certain traits that underlie an issue of concern for their fellow man, but many if not most are incomplete. Some completely ignore the importance of our place in eternity. They ignore or worse, condone the hedonistic impulses of the society they hope to govern.

Considering that the end of humanity's thread marks another instance of the fullness of time, all things that are contrary to the purposes of the Creator of the Universe are but dust in the wind. Politicians who are not too unlike those before them are unlikely to return any semblance of stability that has been lost, and if elected will only stir up more dust in our faces.

This is a very important election indeed, and I would implore every thinking member of the family of man, who is subject to the government we create by our influences, to seek out the candidate that promises a return to stability. Examine the entire palate of convictions, what they say, and why. Consider how long they have held the convictions that now bolster their quest. There is a danger in today's political climate that the choices we are offered may not include the choices we should make. I see that happening even now as one candidate in particular is excluded by those we rely upon for information.

Time may be short indeed, and we may be closer to the end of our finite thread than we realize. There is no time like the present to correct the course we have selected. We can be compassionate and charitable to our neighbors, without trying to alter the nature of God to accommodate their conflicted circumstances. Perhaps this too is the fullness of time, and it is time to look beyond the dust in the wind.
