Our lives will change today.
Tags:One of the most amazing things I am facing right now is that, regardless of the outcome, our lives will be changed today in a big way. How often do you really know that your life will change? I was emailing with my friend Florence and she commented, "generally you can feel change coming and kinda creeping up on you - it's not often really such a tangible something." I am anxious. I am excited. I am trying to keep it all in perspective and know that whatever happens it will be for something good.
Thank you for so many supportive emails over the last few months regarding the election. One that I really appreciated came this morning from Beth who wrote,
So what's happening right now? It is 8:30am and Chris is out waving signs in the pouring (seriously pouring) rain in one area of our community. After that he will be back on the phones encouraging last minute voters to turn in their ballots. Tonight we will gather at the Lane County Fairgrounds where the returns will begin being announced at 8pm (pacific time).
I am planning to have updates throughout the night here on my blog. My sister also found this site which will begin having results posted after 8pm pacific.
Stay tuned.

Just wanted to say that my thoughts and prayers are with you and Chris today. I agree with Beth's thoughts as it is about your character. I, like Beth, am not from Oregon or a democrat, but I believe in Chris' character. From what I've read Oregon would be very LUCKY to have him in their government. Wishing you the best of luck today and anxiously awaiting to hear the results. Good luck Chris..

I'll be keeping an eye out for updates- I'm so excited for you and for Chris. I hope that all of his hard work pays off and that the people in your district believe in Chris as much as everyone here does. He's a breath of fresh air in a political world that is full of corruption, slander, and looking out for personal gain and not for the people. I hope that Chris wins and that more politicians like him begin to emerge- I think that would restore a lot of people's faith in the system.
Good luck Chris!

Go Chris!! His enthusiasm will be so welcomed in Oregon---I'm totally rooting for him 45 minutes north of y'all---dropped off our ballot yesterday, and am praying for Chris and another buddy Jay, (running for mayor in a small town in Oregon) to win today! Sadly both are out of our district, so can't vote for either!! Enjoy this rush of a day, and embrace the changes!!

I know that I cant vote, due to living in Australia. But I believe in the worth of Chris and his dream! I believe that as Christians we should stand firm in what we believe. Praying that we can help Change this world, to be a better place. To fight for what is true, and right. To live for freedom.
Good Luck to you Chris. Good Luck Ali and Simon!!
BLess you all at the time!!
May your dreams be fulfilled, and the plans of God be put into place!!
Love Dee
