I have shared my story many times in the past several years—the story of how much I hated politics for most of my life and never voted a single time until I was 34 years old. That was for the 2004 presidential election. Some of you hearing this for the first time may be surprised because I often deal with politics in my writing and podcast, but it’s true. I came quite late to the party. I regret how apathetic I was about understanding political parties and platforms, but I am mostly regretful that I did not appreciate the value of my vote—as an American, yes, but even more as a Christian. It’s not like it wasn’t repeatedly stressed how important it is that Christians vote. I heard it countless times; I just didn’t care. But God surprisingly changed my heart, and so tomorrow, Saturday, March 2, I intend to participate in another first for me: the Missouri Republican Presidential Caucus, which will, as the title indicates, help determine who will be elected President of the United States in November.
Participating in Lee's Summit, MO! 🙂
That’s excellent! 😊
