At this address
The queue was long but I finally arrived at the desk. The electoral officer opened his book and looked up my name. If I had not enrolled, my name would not be there and I could not claim the address.
If he could not identify me, a penalty would apply.
He read the address. "Who lives at this address?" he asked. "I do," I replied.
He handed me my voting papers.
There is another queue where books are opened. If we have not obeyed the law and enrolled, a penalty will apply.
The books were opened, and I heard my address read out with terrifying clarity. The officiating officer asked, "Who lives at this address?"
I froze. Had I made sure of my enrolment? I was about to mumble a reply when a man stepped in front of me. "I do," he replied clearly.
Then He turned to me with a smile and said softly,
“Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.” 1 John 4:16
Who lives at your address?
