Campaign/ Election fever

Something just amused me this morning. am in a market trying to buy stuff in my house that can last atleast 1 week just incase 'things' happen, and then there's lots of commotion. In confusion, i turn to catch a glimpse of whats going on. Ofcourse, as expected, there's supporters of one presidential candidate passing. what happens is most spectacular: all the market vendors scream and cheer these supporters.
10 minutes later, supporters of another presidential candidate pass, with the same comotion and noise. this time am shocked, coz the same vendors turn and scream so loud, just like they had done earlier. In my head, am left wondering if this screaming to 'all' candidates was out of fear, or they actually mean it. i mean, they simply cant support both candidates??? unless...
Now for me, somehow i didnt get to register, which means i dont vote. so painful as i get to think about it right now. anyway, i just can only sit back and hope that people will vote wisely. i somehow dont even want to know the results of the elections. At times we are tempted to think that elections take place in one place, and decisions and made in another. i mean, dont quote me wrong. i've never even voted, which is so wrong for a devoted citizen as myself. i will definitely vote in the next elections, come 2016!! mark my word
i dont wana write alot, otherwise, i might find myself in one those 'safe' houses we always read about. i've so far heard of atleast 2 in the country.
All in all, please pray for us as a nation. there's alot of fear and uncertainty, and some of us live right where all the stupidity in k'la usually starts. pray for us. we need God in this nation. Only He can do what we think is impossible!
Please help us, Oh God! Dont forsake us right now. We cry to u, our God and Savior.
FOR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY!!
LONG LIVE UGANDA!!!
