Today we're talking about key elections, an update on Trump's civil trial, a business

recap, and other top news for Wednesday, November 8th.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the poor over today.

Here's the quote of the day. Lord help me to do great things as though they were

little, since I do them with your power, and little things as though they were great since I do them with your power and little things as though they were great since I do them in your name

Voters across America are sporting fresh stickers. Here's a roundup of yesterday's key elections.

First, the bluegrass state is staying blue.

Kentucky's incumbent Democratic governor Andy B. Sheer avoided an upset by the state's Republican

Attorney General.

Second, in Mississippi, ballot shortages led to extended polling hours as a cousin of the king,

Elvis, not Charles, sought to oust favored incumbent Governor Reeves.

As of recording, the race had not yet been called.

Third, in Pennsylvania, a bomb threat kept two precincts opened late,

and early projections showed the empty chair on the state Supreme Court will stay blue with the election of Justice Dan McCaffery.

And fourth, Ohio voted to make abortion a right guaranteed in their state constitution.

While name recognition on the ballot is lower,

this year's elections are seen as an indicator of the nation's mood

ahead of the big cahuna in 2024. Our bright hope can't be dimmed by the outcome of an election.

Whether things get worse or better during your lifetime, everything eventually ends well for followers of Christ.

Pray for your leaders and be good citizens in this temporary home while continually

looking to your eternal home.
