OK, so Election Day has come and gone and lots of politicians who annoyed the electorate are now gone too. Americans went to the polls and spoke their minds, rather loudly it would appear from seeing the gigantic shifts in Washington and in many states.

That’s fine, but there are some election results you may just have missed. I’m not sure why Katie Couric and Brian Williams and Anderson Cooper skipped over them, but hey..

Anyway, I know you will be pleased to learn that the very enlightened citizens of Rock Hill, North Carolina approved a ballot measure that now permits a patron in a restaurant to have a drink on a Sunday. The question passed with 61 percent for approval. The large margin even surprised supporters, according to The Charlotte Observer. So, now you can have a Smirnoff cocktail at a restaurant after church, a Guinness while watching Sunday NFL games, or maybe a glass of Sterling wine with Sunday dinner. Well, hey, it is the year 2007!

Not to be outdone, the land of Dorothy and Toto (who wasn’t then, but is now, of legal drinking age…well, not Toto, but Dorothy). I’m talking about Kansas (remember, “Gee, Toto, I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore.”).

Ballot measures in Kechi and Park City, Kansas passed now allowing Sunday sales of alcohol and in Clearwater voters approved selling packaged liquor (like from a retail shop) on Sundays.

This is as it should be. Presumably the wedding at Cana occurred on a Sunday. Well, Jesus turned water into wine at that grand event, good wine too according to the Scriptures. If alcohol had been the wrong thing, then don’t you think he would have done it the other way around and turned wine into water!

Amen!
