Advent: the time to listen for footsteps – you can’t hear footsteps when you’re running yourself. Bill McKibben
It is wiser to subdue your heart to match your situation. Christians may not be able to rule their life circumstances, but they can rule their hearts: “The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position,” says James 1:9-10. Jeremiah Burroughs says,
“Here lies the bottom and root of all contentment: when there is an evenness and proportion between our hearts and our circumstances. [A Christian] is the most contented man in the world and yet the most unsatisfied man in the world; these two together must needs be mysterious…He is contented if he has but a crust…yet if God should give unto him Kingdoms and Empires…he should not be satisfied with that. A soul that is capable with God can be filled with nothing else but God.” From Joni Eareckson Tada
The Albuquerque Journal is reporting on the NM GOP Party Chairman Race: The party reported two different tallies of the vote total, and one candidate said a new election should be called. Steve Pearce (pictured standing by U.S. Flag) won both times, FIRST TIME BY JUST ONE VOTE, Beating out Radio personality Eddie Aragon (pictured at very top) of Rock of Talk radio station in Albuquerque. I wrote the other day about Eddie was the guy to watch in this race as many, many folks, common folk, are not happy with the leadership of Pearce. In the second count, Pearce beat Eddie by 29 votes.
In a brief interview with the Journal, Pearce said the final vote totals are accurate.
“There’s not going to be another state central committee meeting and another vote,” Pearce said.
This certainly will not help the unity of the GOP party in New Mexico. Is it right for Chairman Pearce to just say, “there will not be another vote” WOW! That is rather COLD! What is the problem of voting again? You gotta love those ‘coding errors’
The election was held online and closed to public viewing. NOT GOOD!

To keep this election clean, they should vote again, that’s my two cents!
Here is the Press Release by the NM GOP:
