Whom should I vote for?

Marilyn Wickstrom

I was thinking back to the first time I had the opportunity to vote in a presidential election. I took my responsibility seriously and decided to ask someone I respected to tell me what to do. I called a wonderful woman, who was a friend of our family. She happened to be a Christian Science practitioner and teacher. I was sure that, because she was a deeply prayerful woman, she could tell me whom I should vote for.

“You will have to examine your own priorities and reach your own conclusions, dear.” Her words were filled with the feeling of love I had come to expect from her, but her response was far from what I was hoping she would say.
