This morning a memory popped into my head - as a teenager staying up way past midnight watching the TV with my parents on election night to find out who our next president was going to be. There were a few channels on our TV but more than likely we were tuned into CBS.
Contrast that with ALL of the media choices available to us today as we monitor a record-setting number of votes being recorded and reported. What tools are you going to use to following the election results - the TV, computer or smartphone?Many of us will probably turn to our favorite news media channels on our TV's or smartphones trying to find the "predicted" winners. Do you know why some media predict winners early in the evening and others much later on? I found these two resources to be helpful in understanding that:
NPR - National Public Radio
Associated Press
The results of Election 2020 will be reported starting today and in the days ahead, but there's work to be done despite the outcome. And WE are an important part of helping bring our nation together. Pastor Adam Hamilton, Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, KS shared a message on Sunday and it's a message for all of us :
"Jesus, Politics and Religion – Loving Your Neighbor with Whom You Disagree”
The weather is going to provide a beautiful day for Election 2020. Enjoy this fall weather while you can.....and before becoming glued to media tonight to watch the results!
