How to Vote

JohnAdamsI have it on good authority that there was actually a Vice Presidential debate this evening between the candidates for the office. I’m sorry, I couldn’t bring myself to watch it. It seems to me that there is little to be learned from two men who tell lies for fun and profit—for themselves. It seems to me that few politicians are really in it for the citizens anymore.

Here’s what John Adams had to say about the office of Vice President:
He described the office as “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.” And he should know. He served two terms as VP under our first President, George Washington.

I watched some of the Presidential debates and was truly turned off by what we have today as choices. The men I hold in high esteem seemed to live by different rules and had different characters. That’s what I explain in my book “Founding Fathers—Uncommon Heroes.” You should read it, if you haven’t already.

Here’s another thought about choosing our leaders: “When decisions have to be made, don’t look back and wonder what I would have done. Look up, and the light will come to do what our Lord and Master would have you do.” –Amy Carmichael.
