Day 6: 3 Gifts Government

199. We just had our elections on Tuesday. I love being able to have a say in what our local, state, and national governments decide. I am also so very thankful to every man and woman who has fought to protect this right. Here is what the outcomes were this year:

200. We also have a "government" so to say in our school. The leaders of ZCS are so loving and personal. They understand the realities of "real life" but also have a passion to make the world a better place through education. I am so thankful for the government at ZCS, and for being to work so closely with Janelle who is in that "government". She is such a great influence on me and I learn so much from her every day.

201. This one isn't really government but it has to do with leaders in entertainment. Tonight was the CMA awards hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. I have loved Carrie Underwood since her first audition on American Idol. And I am so excited that she is one of the leaders in country music. She is such a great Christian role model who is not afraid to share her faith through her music. Her newest song, "Something in the Water", is a perfect example of this. What a powerful song to rock country music and spread the great news of the gospel through popular entertainment. We need more people like Carrie in entertainment today.
