1. I have kids. I know, I know, even more reason to be concerned about politics because it will affect their future! But in my world, I am so focused on parenting and raising these two kids to the best of my ability that I don't have time to read about the government and the ridiculous decisions they make. If I have time to read, it will probably be to get advice on parenting, or something more enjoyable than politics. Plus, my husband knows a bit about politics and I trust his opinion because he's just as conservative as I am. Plus, plus, politics make me sad.
And even more importantly:
2. I have a God and He is pretty big. Someone had this on their Facebook page today or yesterday (sometimes days just run into each other like that). It was a reminder of something I already knew. I'm not worried because even when our world seems out of control, He is not. He is sovereign. Sovereign: one possessing supreme political power (sovereign is also any of various gold coins of the United Kingdom, but that doesn't really apply here). SUPREME! Supreme: more than just a pizza, it is the highest in rank or authority. (Really enjoying the dictionary app on my phone right now). But seriously, folks - there is no one higher in power. I will not fear. I will not worry. He is in control.
I know some could criticize my ignorance, but at this point in my life I have not heard God calling me to the political realm. I have friends who are passionate about politics and I am so grateful to know that there are God-fearing men and women who make politics their business.
And what I said earlier about not fearing or worrying, I lied a little. I do fear and I do worry on the surface, but down deep in an unmovable peace and calm that comes with knowing that Someone bigger and better is in control.
