So here we are just days away from choosing our next President. Each of us has our own thoughts and reasons for wanting our pick to win. The issue's and what is at stake seem to be of little consequence at this point, but rather each candidates character is now what is most important in the eyes of the media.
I think back to my childhood and listening to my Dad talk about character and how important it is in choosing a President or any leader, but unfortunately character has not been the deciding factor in any recent elections that I can remember.
Over the past few weeks stories and accusations of immoral behavior have come out about both candidates. If even half of these stories are true, it seems that both candidates have had serious lapses in judgement and have compromised their character.
Is there anyone with the kind of character we all wish our next President would have? I don't know! Those kind of people just don't run for office anymore. Who would want to put their family through that kind of hell!
So which candidate do we choose if character is again the deciding factor in picking a president? If both have sinned, do we somehow list their sins on paper and choose which are worse, or who has more?
There is an old saying that those that live in glass houses should not cast stones. Jesus once said that the person who had not sinned should cast the first stone at an adulteress, but nobody did.
Tonight's debate and the next couple of weeks are going to be full of accusations and there will be many more ugly truths revealed about each candidate, but in the end one of them will be our next President. I pray that it will be the one that humbles them self before God and this nation!
