God is not a Democrat nor Republican Article Interesting enough is that I got 3 voicemail calls telling me who to vote for today all before lunch. Talk about spammers. The Do Not Call list needs to be enforced for this too! SAD thing is politics divides and it is cruel this year. And I'm Len Evans and I approve this message.

Life is a Test. The problem is most of us fail it! The problem of pain, suffering and why does this have to happen and to curse God have always been on my mind.
