Lately, it's hard to watch tv or log into Facebook without seeing something about the election.  Opinions are plastered on every page and communities are divided over the issues.  But, regardless if you are blue or red, we can all agree that this has been one of the most outrageous and shocking elections ever.  Never has there been more at stake.  And depending on the outcome tomorrow, our nation may never be the same again.

This year, our church has had somewhat of a theme or a distinct purpose.  And that is, to make God big.  Now, you may be wondering; if He's God, isn't He already big?  Or why would God need help with that?  Both are great questions, but our mission statement isn't to discredit our creator or minimize His power.  It's actually putting our faith on the stand.  When push comes to shove, what does my life say about my God?  Do my actions (and better yet, my attitude) back up what I believe?  Do I act like...
