Just like in past elections, the "Rolling Stones adage" applies -- you can't always get what you want.
But, win or lose, the sun always comes up the next day. Life has to go on. My husband got up and went to work (a bit more grumpy that usual, but that was to be expected). My daughter went to school, oblivious of the whole thing.

Like Abbey so wisely stated, God has a plan for all of us. God is always testing us. How will you respond to yours?
