They voted Nay Three Times

The DNC ran into a stumbling block when a motion by former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland to insert the words "God" and "Jerusalem" back into the Democratic Party's platform after the platform committee passed the original version omitting the words required a voice vote in the party's convention hall.
Three roll call votes were taken as the "aye" and "no" voice votes were too close to call. The amendments needed a two-thirds majority approval to pass. After it was determined that the motions passed, many booed.

There are many more links, but it's not hard to google because they come right up.

After seeing and hearing this vote with my own eyes and ears I was dumbfounded. Had I been in that facility I would've been looking for the closest exit, especially if I had been sitting by someone BOOING. I would not have walked down the street with anyone who had participated in all of that because I would have been fearful of lightning. Don't get me wrong I don't view myself as a pious individual. I sin everyday....no roadmap or tutorial is needed....but to blatantly shake your fist at God is not something that I could see myself doing. Some say that the BOOS were for Jerusalem and not at God, but I really don't see the difference considering that Israel is God's chosen. I have friends who are "Democrat" and are Christian. I don't judge them by what their counter-parts did, but I have to say that I fear for them. The whole guilty by association thing. To be honest I fear for us all.

Not long ago I read a book called "The Harbinger" by Johnathan Cahn. It was a real eye-opener as to the ramifications we face for our actions. Of course, it is a work of fiction, but it made me seriously think about the path that we have taken as a country. I couldn't help but take a look at the role that I have personally played in that direction because when it all comes down to it we are all responsible. There are consequences for our wrong actions just as there are blessings for our right actions. We will all have to face one or the other. With reading the book, seeing the vote of Nay, and watching as our Embassies are being attacked as I type this I'm taking even a more serious look at my life, what matters for my family and what I need to change personally.

The blessing in all of this is that I KNOW that being a child of God means that even if I may deny him in my actions, which is no different than standing up at the DNC and voting Nay, He will not deny me. He will not leave me. I belong to Him and with Him I always have a way home.
