Election Day.

I can't believe it's Election night. If you've ever read previous blogs you'd be able to guess who I voted for. I am happy so far by the news coming in. What's most important tonight is that I used my conscience. I used prayer. I voted early on October 31st. That was fun. The people working the polls were dressed in costumes. One woman was dressed as a nun, but I don't know if she was a real nun or if it was a costume, just because I have a number of nun friends (real nuns, real friends:).

We are in the midst of a historical event of huge proportions that no one can ignore. The rest of the world is interested in seeing how this nation votes. Now, since I have at least done my part, I can only hope that no matter what happens on this election night, God will help us to heal the wounds in this world. I hope and pray that this nation and the poorest of the poor may find a form of peace and prosperity that will last. We need to find a way to end this war and move our investments back into peaceful activity that supports the needs of our own citizens. The measure of a nation is equal to how it cares for the most vulnerable of its society. This is one of the reasons, but certainly not the only one, that other nations have trouble respecting us. There are other reasons, that's for sure.

What else is new? I have a job interview with a hospice organization for a chaplain position. I am so stoked. I need the experience and they seem like very nice people. I believe they already have 1 chaplain and are looking for 2 more - one full time and one part time. The odds are better than usual! I hope that I get the job. Another reason for me to be prayerful these days. Tomorrow I will make sure that the interview goes well. I have many questions to ask about how they operate, etc. Once I can get some face time with someone, then I usually can make a really good impression.

Well, I need to go, because I need to finish making calzones. Did you know that you can buy frozen bread dough in the grocery store and make it into various cool foods? We're having ricotta, pepperoni, pineapple, mozzarella calzones tonight, with some fresh basil and onion. Sounds good. I'm hungry. Bye for now.

Here's the results of an IQ test I took online. I don't know how accurate it is but it sure makes me feel pretty good. Peace be with you all. Amy
