I think Jason hit the nail on the head with this one. I know I for one have been frustrated with many brothers and sisters in Christ, so it helps knowing I am not alone!

Last night I thought Twitter and Facebook were going to literally explode. I watched the election results like many Americans. Personally, I voted differently than the results played out last night. I was disappointed.
I was also disheartened. I wasn’t disheartened by Barack Obama winning (I voted for Romney). I wasn’t disheartened by the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado (I think this is a big mistake for those states). I wasn’t disheartened that Maine and Maryland voted to approve gay marriage (Although, I was deeply grieved that traditional marriage was dealt such a big blow).
Can I tell you why I was disheartened? Believers in Jesus were despairing.
