Adventure For Unity

Well the presidential election came to a close, and the political adventures continue on.

One of these adventures is one I hope will fade away are petitions to sucede. Politicians must unite.

I'll admit, my candidate did not win. Yet, my voting decision was a well informed one and that allowed me to sleep the night of the election.

I call myself neither a republican; nor a democrat. I am more conservative than liberal. These days I try to vote for the politician with the best plan, and also see if I agree with their morals and ethics(it was a real challenge to this election). The rest I leave to prayer otherwise I'll drive myself crazy. God has more power than me anyway, and with this mindset, I find relief.

Ultimately, both candidates made some good points, and other points I disagreed with. I wasn't impressed with either candidates plans that were laid out during the debates/conventions. I expected to hear more of a vision from Obama for the next four years.

Now where do we go? What is my attitude? It's realizing that reality is Obama's the president. I, (we) should do our best to respect him, yet know why we disagree with him, if we do.

Obama won. Whining about Obama is no good, and neither is debating his birth certificate. Forget about doing this. Bad attitudes are not good for work, for solving problems. Just know what the reality is and move on. This is still America. We live in a country of freedom.

We are able to voice our opinion, enjoy our hobbies, and worship freely. You are able to visit this blog and either finish reading this, or not. Heck, you can even write your own blog.

I can still fish where I please, (with proper permits), have either chicken for dinner or fish, and wake up to go work out before work if I chose or during my lunch break. And if I don't feel like brushing my teeth before bed, I won't. Remember, we still have choices! We have to work through challenges, even if we don't get our way. Being immature leads to crybabies, that's unproductive.

A strong solution is to work together. Both parties must come together. Political gridlock cannot go on.

And you see, that's one thing both Romney and Obama agree on. Working together. To the extent Obama and fellow republicans are willing to needs to be great.

What about these petitions to secede? Nonsense. What we need now is unity. Secession is the opposite of working together and unity, in my opinion, and ridiculous. Even more so if the motive to sign these petitions is because Obama is re-elected.

Being An American Sportsman

The smell of the lake as I'm getting into the boat is one of the things that causes me to come back for more. The scent of the air after a fresh rain/snow fall is another.

I'm feeling the early morning dew penetrating my shoes as I walk to a shore fishing spot beside a river or beside a lake. What a gift to chose where my next fishing trip will be. And I can fish by boat; backing your trailer into the lake of your choice is a great freedom as an American Sportsman.

The blessing to get away from the normal daily routine is the feeling of being free and adventurous. Discovering something new. The ability to make, and even mark your own path as you leave your driveway. Yes, God has blessed our country; you and I experience those blessings of His hand each time we venture to the outdoors.

These are some of the feelings that come to my mind, being an American sportsman. (If I were to go on I suppose there wouldn't be enough words to describe the richness of how it feels to be in the great outdoors, to be an American Sportsman.)
