This is obviously appropos tomorrow's event that will color pulpits from WA to PA. I agree with much of what is said in there, but want to comment on two things:

* One, He does, He absolutely does want you talking to Him about even the smallest things. Your prayers are filtered through the Advocate. He probably smiles on the prayers that don't seem to matter. The attitude of a life of prayer isn't just about focusing on the prayer, but on the life of one who doesn't stop speaking to Him about anything and everything. There is no shame or ill in that.

* Two, He does care who wins; why wouldn't He? He cares about absolutely every little thing that happens, since they all fall under the occurrence of His will. Remember, to Him, all are specks of dust. To His infinity, there is no difference in size twixt SBXL and sick people -- not to diminish one, but rather to magnify Hissize. It's man's concepts around priorities that shouldn't be placed onto His thinking.
