Real time blogging on election night
7:45 pm – Carie and I are doing some work. I flip on Fox News for election coverage. Oh come on, for years I’ve been watching the other bias.
8:00 pm – Steve Bramlett called and said he was coming over. Kentucky and West Virginia go to McCain. Obama gets his first state: Vermont
8:15 pm – Steve Bramlett shows up. I feed him, although Carie made the meal. Yummmmm Chicken pot pie. Obama has a lot of the eastern states and New England states. Not a shock.
8:30 pm – McCain gets Alabama and Arkansas, but Obama gets a big prize: Pennsylvania. Thats gonna leave a mark.Looks like John Kerry is going to win the senator race here in Mass.
8:40 pm – McCain win Georgia. Bramlett says Obama win could be good for America. He also wants me to mention he is not for Obama though. Okay. bramlett is not for Obama. Carie is almost done with her work.
8:42 pm – Incumbent republican senator for Georgia wins.
8:43 pm – Brit Hume stutters a lot. I’m pretty sure Massachusetts went to Obama. I CANT BELIEVE IT!
8:48 pm – Bramlett just commented on a gas can commercial with country folk music being the “stupidest commercial ever.” I say its much better than the prostate commercial immediately afterwards. Now Bramletts calling his woman, cilla. She’s my facebook friend.
8:54 pm – while Carie gets up to look for a book to read and Bramlett continues to come over to our house and ignore us, talking to his girlfriend, I change the channel and see the Celtics are winning 14-13. Go Green!
8:57 pm – Talking heads on all the networks are so irritating. Should I change the channel to John Stewart and Stephen Colbert?
9:00 pm – results from several states come out now. Wyoming, New mexico, Minnesota, Michigan, Rhode Island and Michigan goes to Obama. A few states go to McCain like North Dakota and Kansas, but it looks pretty bad for McCain.
9:04 pm – skipping over to lifechurch.tv for a few. Be right back.
9:07 pm – Having church at lifechurch.tv. Sweet worship! Nice to know no matter what happens tonight, I serve a God bigger than all the hype and chaos of politics.
9:11 pm - Anybody have an idea where else I can surf while I’m ignoring the election?
9:26 pm – Bramlett just said that Craig Groeschel’s voice sounds like a candy bar. WHAT?!
9:30 pm -Craig Groeschel “Pracitcal atheism – a belief in God with no real fear of Him.”
9:32 pm – McCain wins Louisiana! Too late.
9:39 pm – I’m all about the underdog, but this race is over. Congrats President Obama.
9:40pm – Steve Bramlett, Carie, and myself, all say good night! Thanks for joining us.
Are you happy or miserable about the outcome?

Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel and said to him, “…appoint for us, then, a king to govern us, like other nations.”
But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; they said, “No! but we are determined to have a king over us, so that we also may be like other nations, and that our king may govern us…”
1 Samuel 8:4, 19-20
May God Help Us All, and Save Us From Ourselves
