Eight years ago, I was in my first grown up apartment with two of my favorite people in the world...James and Eric. We were watching the 2008 election coverage of George W Bush and Al Gore. The three of us stayed up until I think four in the morning waiting and watching as the election unfolded in front of us. It had more drama and suspense than any drama on TV or movie we could have watched. Did W win Florida? What is Gore going to do? CBS called the election too soon. We hooted and hollared and booed at every single moment. And then after a LONG night, it was over with.
Now it is eight years later...and both my roommates are now Pastors...they are both married, and each have a child Bryce and Logan. And here is another election. And the three of us are in three different places in our lives. It is kind of cool and sad at the same time. I miss rooming with those guys. It was one of the best years of my life. But I will have those memories. A lot of great memories...and especially of that one election night.
Sadly, the only memories I will have of this election is a lot of bitter feelings, and divided friends. Oh, to remember eight years ago.
Until tomorrow....
Your Eternal Bud.
