Campaign Schedule Update...
-
Well, it seems that I only have at most 5 more houses to go and see and then I am finished campaigning.
I hit the road yesterday after work and knocked on doors until 8pm. There was one neighborhood that I thought was going to take some "reading the map" understanding but it went better than I thought. I went to City Hall and looked at the HUGH map they had there to get better clarity.
Like I said, about 5 more houses to go and then I am finished. All I, and if you would also, can do is pray. The Lord knows the desire of my heart and He knows how much work I put into this. I really feel that I have had great response but I need the people to get out and vote on the 26th. Thank you for your prayers during this.
On another note, everything in "jeneric" world is moving right along. The next appointment is on the 26th, election day. Hopefully they will schedule 4 more weeks after that so we can return to see if "jeneric" is a jennifer or eric???!!!

Quote of the day:
We could certainly slow the aging process down if it had to work its way through Congress. -- Will Rogers
Before & After...
The color is a rustic red. I didn't paint the inside because the computer and everything else will be sitting inside and it would possibly scratch the paint off over time and plus the doors will be kept shut when not in use. (the whole purpose of purchasing this!)

1 down 1 to go...
I had one of my Political Election forums today. It was hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. I do currently serve as President for the Chamber but I had one of my Board Members run the luncheon so I could come "just" as a candidate for council.
I feel that it went really well. We each had 2 minutes to state our platform. I believe I had atleast 15 seconds left.
Our next Forum will be on the 19th at the High School. That one will also be 2 minutes long for each city council candidate with the mayor candidates getting a little more time.
I really hope the citizens of Calera come out to educate themselves on each candidate.
Well, it's quiting time here at the office. It is raining outside so I will not be campaigning, but that doesn't mean there is nothing to do.

5:30am comes TOO early...
Friday after work I went and picked up the computer Armour. Along with that, I helped a friend with a mattress set she bought. I wish I had a camera because since we have an explorer suv and not a truck, even though I call it my truck, we had to tie the mattresses to the top of the explorer. TOO FUNNY!!! I felt like the biggest redneck but hey, you do what you have to do.
Saturday I was up at 5:30am to get ready for my bike ride. It felt so good to get out in the nice cool weather of 60 degrees. After my bike ride I got home, freshened up and went campaigning. I meet my second RUDE person while knocking on doors. Oh well though, they are out there so what are you going to do?
After campaigning I washed the cars, since they haven't seen soap in who knows how long? Then the wife and I went to a 5 year old birthday party. There were kids everywhere or all ages. I really can't wait until our "jeneric" gets here. It was just too cute to see all the kids with their daddy's playing around in the pool, etc.
Sunday afternoon I painted the armour. Don't worry, I remembered to take pictures so I will post them tomorrow if I remember to download them?! It looks really good. I decided to go with another color than black. It is a rustic/red color. It was also only five bucks because it was an oop's paint from the paint store.
5:30, on Monday morning, comes TOO early!

Working my way...
It has been a slow week on the Campaign Trail. I got out Monday door to door, Tuesday I went to a Police National Night Out to assist in anyway I could and plus to have my face out there. After work on Wednesday I had a meeting to discuss things about my campaign and then it was church. Yesterday it was raining after work and then at 6pm I had my Chamber meeting.
This afternoon I have to go pick up an armor computer desk that we bought. We got it at the thrift store for only $22.00. It needs to be painted. We will be painting it black. We decided, I think, to make the furniture in the babies room black and let the comforter, etc. be the colors; that way everything will really "pop" too. Since the computer will be staying in that room it needs to be black also, maybe, I'm still thinking!!! I just might want it to be some kind of accent color?!? I will take a before and after shot so you can see the difference. The current computer desk we have does not have any room on it and plus the wife can use it in her classroom.
If I do not hit the campaign trail this afternoon I will definately be out there tomorrow after, hopefully, a morning bike ride. Did you know the high in the morning is 60-65 degrees! Come on Autumn!!! I only have a few more neighborhoods to cover so I am doing pretty good. Still keep the elections in your prayers for me. I am out there to win and get in City Hall and work to improve the city.
Saturday afternoon/evenish is a birthday party and Sunday is church. Have a great weekend!

Political Forum
I have been working on the questions for the Political Forum that will be taking place for our City on Aug. 19th - 6:30pm at the new High School.
The candidates for City Council will only have one question to ask and you can take up to two minutes to answer. If your answer does not last two minutes long you will have time to elaborate on another question of your choice from another set.
So, I have been working on my response. Two minutes does not seem like a lot until you are standing in front of a crowd of people who are there to hear your answer.

Baby...
Jennifer and I were talking last night about how big the baby currently is. Being right at 2 inches, this picture is a great example.
Can't worry about it...
Okay! So, the previous post was about the "Monthly" messing up my ad, something I paid for. Thank you for your comments. I agree that decisions we make for anything in our life will effect other things. (even with voting) As I mentioned, it cannot be corrected before the elections but here is my conclusion:
I have worked hard during this campaign and am still working hard. Including yesterday where I spent 4hrs. and 15min. out campaigning. God knows the desires of my heart, He knows EVERYTHING!!! I am getting great responses from the people I am meeting and as long as they get out and vote, then by Gods mighty power and plan I will become City Councilman for District 2.
Satan knows this and he wants to do everything to discourage me, but I cannot allow it to happen. I have come too far to turn back now and I know what I have done since campaigning has not been done in vain.
This morning while getting ready for work Joyce Meyer was on and she was talking about fear sneaking in and getting our minds away from the Peace of God. So NO more! I will not allow satan to steal my peace and I hope that you do not either!
I wil continue getting out and meeting the people, proving to them that I am the man for the job, and giving them the correct information about me with what I hand to them at their door and let them see the Love of Christ through me.
So, will I win the elections on Aug. 26th? I am not telepathic, but one thing I know, "God knows everything!" He knows I want to win and I believe that his Will will be done.
Remember, satan has come to kill, steal, and destroy but God has come to give life, and give it MORE Abunduntly!!! What was posted is false information, but the truth will be shown.

Poll Question:
I am conducting a Poll. Here is my question. Please answer by leaving a comment.
Question: Would you vote or not vote for someone just because of their religion?
The reason why I ask is because I attend Christ Chruch. (this is pentacostal). For the monthly newsletter that is distributed here I put "Christ Church" only but they printed Church of Christ. Even though, while campaigning door to door, the info I hand to you has Christ Chruch.
So, would you base your vote on what religion someone is?
