SAME-SEX VOTING

Election Day has certainly changed from past years, with issues such as casino gambling and same-sex marriage on the ballot -- topics that wouldn’t even have been spoken of in polite company, a generation or two ago.

You’ve heard of changing your mind on who you’re going to vote for, or changing your address, or changing your political party. But on Tuesday, a southwest Omaha poll worker handled a situation involving an unusual kind of change.

A man came up to her and said he used to be a woman. He was registered under his old name.

She called election officials and processed the records change with no problem.

It was either a very nice encounter . . . or the wackiest case of voter fraud on the books.

Praise report: Our friends have a new baby! Meet Tiege Jefferson Petermann, son of Jeff and Kerry and brother of Kemper. He was born at 11:11 p.m. Sunday with a head of black hair. Kerry made up the first name, pronounced ‘’Teeg,’’ and everybody thinks it’s cool. Thank You, Jesus, for this precious new life. Surround this young family with a mountain range of blessings and protection as they raise their sons to live for You. (Proverbs 14:26)

Prayer request: We ask You, Lord, to cleanse Donna of cancer after her completion of chemotherapy and radiation. Give her parents, siblings and friends strength and encouragement to always support her through this chapter in her life, and theirs. O Lord, ransom her from the destruction of cancer and defeat it, for Your glory. (Hosea 13:14)
