N/A
Sep. 30, 2020 1:00 am, Updated: Oct. 1, 2020 12:00 am
Editor:
I vote for kindness. It helps you see the poor, the outcast and the down-hearted.
I vote for honesty. It gives you respect. You don't blame others.
I vote for humility. You don't care who gets recognized.
I vote for mercy. You don't think about getting even.
I vote for gentleness. It makes you approachable.
I vote for self-control. You think before you talk.
I vote for compassion. You love your neighbor as yourself.
I vote for faithfulness. You are committed to justice and liberty of all.
If it's a school board member, town council member, congressperson or minister, I vote for these things.
