I should probably post more often...
Tonight I'm heartsick over everything that's happened this past weekend. I'm not putting anything on Facebook about what I'm thinking though I'm marking some of the things I've read as "like".
The good thing is that I'm not suicidal over what's going on. And, for me, that is a very good thing. Still, I feel helpless. I don't really believe I can do anything to make a change that truly matters. I'm too tired, too achy, too I-don't-know-what.
I wish I were eloquent enough to say what I'm feeling in a way that would explain to people who've drunk the orange Kool-Ade. They don't understand why people are so concerned, scared, and even terrified.
I watch trump lie and people suck it up like it must be truth. I watch trump start the process of decimating the rights and privileges of being a citizen of the USA and he's cheered on by those who voted him in - at least some of them. There are those who are watching what is happening and regretting their votes.
When I was a kid there was a lot of talk about the "anti-Christ". There were so many who were touted as being "the One". Now I'm watching what is happening and wondering if maybe this is the time when it could be happening, especially since so many "christian" leaders are backing him. That is part of what was preached at us when I was a kid. I was told that many christians would swallow the lies of the anti-christ because they weren't really Christians and were't really God followers. As an adult I've come to believe in multiple "anti-christ" characters throughout history.
I pray that trump is not allowed to destroy this country I love. I pray that God gives protection to the widows, orphans, immigrants and illegals, the people who are different whether from the color of their skin or their sexual orientation, the poor, and those who are sick or disabled.
I may not be able to do much, but I know how to pray and seek God's guidance. I pray that's enough.
