Election Day

[rj_anderson]

For some reason I am now possessed of a sudden and profound urge to listen to Arcadia.

I have nothing to say about the US election. Not only because it's not my country, but those who know me will be aware by now that I am almost pathologically apolitical. I mistrust the whole political system--I don't just mean the US system, I mean any and every political system there is--and everyone involved in it. But I try to remember to pray for those in power, whoever they may be. And yes, I do vote, however dubiously.

It is a gloomy, rainy day outside. I am on Day Nine of a horrible cold. I have a lot of things to get done this week and I am coping with the pressure by assiduously doing none of them. (Yet.)

I think I shall go and make myself a cup of tea.

Tea is an excellent way to approach election day. I chose Twinnings black currant myself.

Try to take care, and be better soon.

Hooray for apoliticism! (Relatively few of the Christians I know here on the West Coast hold that view-- a couple of well-regarded Bible teachers do, but it hasn't carried over into the rank-and-file all that much.)

Also, since some time ago you mentioned that Prof. Glock spoke at your church's camp this summer: A few weeks ago I heard him at a seminar here in the Seattle area (his topic was ecclesiology). For whatever it's worth, my impression of him so far is that he's better in discussing the practicalities of church life than he is in taking positions on issues; but perhaps I'm giving away too many of my own biases there.... :-)
