Vote!

This election is huge. Nothing more to say about it, really, because everyone else knows what I do. I find myself sitting and praying tonight about what's to come tomorrow. I know who I want to win, but that is not really my concern tonight. Tonight I pray for safety. Safety for those voting tomorrow and for the candidates. Working in the city really helps open my eyes to changing situations and, whether you want to hear it (or even notice), racism is alive and well within our city limits. I have talked to nearly half a dozen coworkers today and last week and my heart breaks for their families because they are afraid to vote. Carla, my prevention buddy :),  told me her mother was trying to advance vote on Friday when a car full of men screaming "N****** go home cause we're comin' back shootin!" sped past. Stuff like this makes my heart break.

Pray for safety tomorrow & please go out and exercise your God given right to vote!
