I can’t stand politics. Every time someone at work starts to give their two cents about politics, I immediately start planning how I might go about faking seizure. Where I’d fall dramatically but not actually hit my head. Should my mouth foam or not? Heightening the severity of my seizure to match the political fervor of my colleague, of course. It usually plays out with me simply entertaining myself with this idea and never actually following through. I wouldn’t want anyone to call an ambulance or anything. After all, I can’t afford health insurance. But, I don’t want to talk healthcare. Please! For the love! Don’t.  Talk.  About healthcare.

     Yesterday, as my mom was sharing about how she loves hearing the stories of politicians who came from humble beginnings and worked hard to get to where they are, I stopped her saying, “I love hearing stories like that at the Olympics.I don’t like politics. I like the Olympics!  I wish political races were run more like the Olympics.” That’s when it hit me that I might be brilliant.
     Politics should be run like the Olympics! Candidates would work really hard for a long time conditioning themselves away from the public eye, and then come to the games to compete with something tangible where the pressure is on and they have to bring it and like actually do something! Maybe they’d show some video montages of the politicians, telling their stories of how they came from humble beginnings… you know, for my mom and stuff. Then judges, (who are there judging because they are Experts who actually Know something about it, not just idiots who have an opinion because their favorite radio talk show host told them what to think or because they are “rebellious”/trying to fit in with every other mainstream-celebrity-cool-kid wanna be) judges are the ones who score. And that’s it! May the best man or woman win! And, none of this political party crap. Whoever wins the gold medal gets to be president, if you get the bronze and you are from a different party “So What! You’re vice president! Stand on the podium and be grateful, you derp!” Bronze, would I guess be speaker of the house or something. Ok, we may have to come up with more medals  or different games for forms of office but you get the idea. Brilliant, right? 
     Now, please. I am in no way saying you should not vote, or that the vote you give should not be an informed one. But, it never hurts to ask yourself, “Who or what is really persuading this decision I’m making?” Vote for who or what you believe is best not only for you but for this country and then, Please… Don’t talk to me about it.

I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
Refrain:
Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway;
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame;
I’d rather be true to His holy name
He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs;
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead
I’d Rather Have Jesus Rhea F. Miller, 1922
