Yes, we have a responsibility to vote! “When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man rules, people groan” (Prov. 29:2). Because we do live in a republic where our voice counts (“We the people”), we need to know what is most important according to God’s will and determine the politician that best will uphold it. It’s impossible to say that religion and politics do not mix. Being “salt and light” does not exempt us from the political world. We should influence it. When Christians choose not to vote we open a vacuum to unrighteous legislation that now provides a greater opportunity for evil to thrive and be imposed on the will of the people, including ourselves and future generations. In the Bible, Joseph and Daniel heavily influenced governing leaders and it greatly benefitted God’s people. Likewise, we are called in Galatians 6:10 to “do good to all people.” Why would we want men and women in the office that will introduce and perpetuate unrighteousness in our society? With the blood-bought freedoms we enjoy as a country, thanks to our military heroes, we cannot sit back and refuse to exercise our rights only to further individuals in the office that will not submit to Divine Law or the Constitution.

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe is from a very good friend, Florence Knowles, that I've used
for years and I think it's excellent.
Beat egg whites until stiff, add 1/4 cup of the sugar to these & set aside.
Cream shortening, add salt & vanilla to this; add remainder of sugar, then
the egg yolks. Beat until light and creamy. Sift flour & baking powder
together, add alternately to creamed mixture with the 1/3 cup milk. Fold in
the egg whites then the blueberries that have been dusted with flour. Turn
the batter into an 8" square pan. Sprinkle batter with a little sugar. Bake
at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes. Will freeze well. Note: It's important to
dust the blueberries with flour.
Everytime I pick blueberries this cake has to be made. Posted to Bakery
