With the end of the political conventions comes the official start of the 2012 US presidential campaign season, prompting feelings of angst among beleaguered citizens. According to Gallup research, 75% of swing state voters and 70% of all voters already can’t wait for the election to be over. People say the divisive nature of increasingly negative political rhetoric produces feelings of anxiety, frustration, and confusion.
A separate campaign begins today online that offers reassuring daily solace in the form of specially selected Bible verses paired with stunning, original nature photographs – available by email through election day. UPWORD 2012 (#UPWORD2012) (http://SeeGodsWordinAction.com/UPWORD2012), is sponsored by God’s Word In Action (@GodsWordnAction), the charitable giving program of Thomas Nelson Bibles (@NelsonBibles).
“Our UPWORD 2012 campaign offers anti-anxiety meditation in the form of daily Bible verses of assurance during this potentially discordant time in America,” says Blake Aldridge, senior director of marketing. “Our hope is that, through these verses and beautiful nature photos, people will remember God is ultimately in control.”
Visitors to the UPWORD 2012 website will engage with a PowerPoint® presentation consisting of vivid, original color photography of serene nature scenes combined with Scripture verses from the new Bible translation The Voice, as well as the New King James Version and King James Version. The presentation is capable of being embedded on other blogs and websites.
The above video is also available as a free download. Other free resources on UPWORD 2012 include:
·an email subscription service for automatic reception of UPWORD 2012 in email inboxes
·mobile app.
“We invite bloggers, Pinterest pinners, and everyone to broadly share these encouraging and inspiring verses leading up to the election,” says Aldridge.
